      I am a soup-free zone, due to digestive challenges! :)

        I think Shiney Towers must exist in some sort of wiggle in the space/time continuum, allowing for days longer than 24 hrs, given how much you manage to pack in, @shiney. :biggrin:

                E mail from natwest this morning, we are lowering your interest rate due to the drop in the base rate.
                That was quick.
                I don't remember it going up that fast when the base rate started rising.

                  Why is that in the Moan thread @pete? Something to be cheerful about n'est-ce pas?

                  Never ever eat tinned or packet soups cosof all the hidden sugars and E numbers.

                  I make a very good tomato, orange and ginger soup with no fat of any kind. It's delish and good all year round. In winter or miserable wet weather i often make a Cullen Skink but just for OH and me. Possum doesn't care for leeks or smoked haddock. We all like pea and ham, lentil and bacon, butternut squash soups.

                  Thjat sounds great. Our Aussie friends served us a delicious Spiced Pumpkin soup.

                  It's my own recipe @Victoria - great for when I need something light or when one of us has a cold.

                      I regularly make tattie and leek - another favourite of mine. I think it comes from my upbringing.. we had next to nothing so made the best of what we had, with soups and stews being the order of the day quite often.
