Hola Amigos

Cana beat a bowl o hamemade soup, so ive been experimenting a bit with the soup pan lately

 

Chorizo, Tomato and roasted peppers with croutons and zest orange

 

Tom Kha Gai

 

French onion

 

Thai sweet potato, chicken and basil

 

Sweet potato, carrot, coriander and orange

 

Just a little winter warmer for you lads in the Sna

 

 

 

They look pretty phenomenal. I'm a bit lazy with my soups, leaving them a bit lacklustre at times.

 

Div you use actual stock? I find this makes a big difference, but I don't eat a lot of meat, so I never have bones often enough. I struggle to make a really good veg stock too.

I sometimes make ma own stock, depending on what we had the night before. Most o the times i buy cartons o stock from the local supermarket, easy and no hassle and tastes as good

I wish we decided to stay at home for Xmas dinner this year, I would o started making broth now with a fine bit o boiling beef.

Cana be arsed gan out for dinner tomorrow now

I woke up this morning and there was a very strong, almost overwhelming smell of soup.

 

It wasn't an offensive odour, it was quite fine actually but given that there is a fair distance between the kitchen and our bedroom and no cooking facilities (that I'm aware of) either in or adjacent to where we sleep, I couldn't understand where it might be coming from. I checked with a touch test and the wife was sleeping so it must've been a daughter up unfeasibly early and unlikelyly cooking.

 

The smell of the soup was changing, sometimes stronger, sometimes with strong spices, sometimes more traditional broth, sometimes classic lentil and ham and I had to double check that I was actually awake and not dreaming this weirdness. After 118.6 units of alcohol (my drink tracker App informs me) in 7 days before my first alcohol-free day yesterday since the 21st, I now conclude that the side effect of this sudden abstinence is that my nostrils decided to trip out. They've settled now and the smell of soup has gone but what a bizarre and interesting start to the day. Think I'll get blootered in the pub this afternoon to get things back to normal.
