Busy, busy, busy....

[J-Mo]

Today to take my mind off my worries, problems, anxiety, stress etc. & more importantly to try to stop worrying about our lovely Charis, I am going to keep busy.

I've made bolognese sauce or kids lasagne for tea. Made leak & potato soup for me.

I'm going to go for a sunbed shortly then have few minutes on my treadmill!

Hope everyone has a lovely day :553:

Good for you J-Mo, be careful on the treadmill though, dont overdo it.
Can I have your leek and Potato soup recipe please Im a rubbish cook but Id like to have a go Ta XX

 

[Neen]

Sounds like a good idea...no point worrying and fearing the worst as it's not going to help you and Charis is in the best possible hands right now x
I made some soup last week from my garden veggies and it was soo nice! It was really cool knowing I had grown it all
Anything you make yourself I think tastes good because you put your good intent into it
Have a nice rest and relaxation day x

I fry few pieces of bacon with all fat cut off in a pan, add chopped onions & chopped leek then 'sweat' them down. Then I add a stock cube, water & potatoes. Once the potatoes & veg are cooked I fish half of the potatoes out then blend the rest of the mixture. Then I put chunks of potato back into soup. This is cos my kids & fella love the chunky potatoes but obviously I can't have any.

I had some for dinner & it was lovely!! If I can cook it anyone can.

I also have a recipe for roasted tomato & onion soup but not sure we can have it as you have to add a tablespoon of sugar. This soup is delicious too.

All the vegetables I use including the tomatoes come from my dad's allotment!!

Have you tried splenda instead of sugar?

 

[J-Mo]

No, good idea Ditzee. I don't drink tea/coffee or usually cook so haven;t used it before.

Thanks

Glad you are doing ok Jacci...

Please don't overdo though Angel... heck of a lot of healing going on...

You sound like me... I tossed and turned all ways last night thinking of Charis and willing her back to good health and this morning I felt worried, so diverted myself... please tell her how much she is loved tomorrow Jacci and that the Power of Prayer is very strong from our wls family forum and we are all going to be pulling her through this.

Enjoy your day Angel, great to make soups I am always doing them and trying new ideas.

Love, hugs and thank you so much xxx

 

[dottychic]

I love leek and potato soup. I have been given loads!!!!!!! of carrots does any one have a good idea for making soup with millions of carrotts xx

 

[dottychic]

Carrot and corriander seems to be the one people talk about, sorry cant help with a recipe though but Im sure someone will be along soon with one x

 

[Bev]

Jacci, we did post some soup recipes on another thread (affordable, easy recipes) and there's nothing quite like growing your own stuff...

I do it every year and as Neen rightly said it's so much better knowing you have grown it...

It's easier than I thought and I've been growing my own veg for several years now, really rewarding and enjoyable...

Love and hugs xxx
