Soup

Both girls like home made soup, so i have been trying to make soup as often as i can.

I now have a few soups in my repertoire which have come from my mums way of making home made soup (boiling up the bones) and also from Grandma's recipes of pot and leek soup.
I also make the lentil and bacon soup from the Delia website, without the cabbage.

Today, I found lots of chicken bones in a bag in our freezer so i cooked them up today and added lots of vegetables to it (all i had was carrots, parsnips and onion) Then after 90 mins i strained out the bones and added leek and potato and bacon and it all turned out very nice indeed.

The soup wasn't as thick as it sometimes is, so i ended up spooning the soup into Iris's mouth (she's a lazy, picky eater, but that's a different story) but she suddenly said to me.

"That's not soup muma, that water"

cheeky monkey.
