jok 3,035 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi fireman. Melrose myself. Don' t and can't tell the difference between the makes but say again, one of the best things I've ever had in the kitchenWe had some ham left over as does everyone and I recommended , on here, stovies. However she who needs obeying wants ham soup so away we go again. Doing onion, potatoe, red chilli, ham and loads of seasoning. Should be good with garlic bread I reckon, oh and a nice wine 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Gone a bit quiet on here. Fridges as empty as wallets. Gardens with nothing growing? No excuse for not making soup. Wake up to 2016 and let's have some imagination. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yep. And long may it continue. Somebody has to keep the b all rolling. And by the way, I notice your interest in another thread. Let's see where that goes?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Know what TC. I really don't mind, just love life, love banter and take no notice whatsoever . Yes , a basket full of frogs has been mentioned in the past but all the guys know where to come when they need help. Kind of warming pal if you know what I mean. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,021 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 looking forward to try that with nice fresh purple sprouting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Brilliant. Now that's what we're looking for. Innovation. Only thing I have to add is the Stilton crumbs I had from Aldi. Fling great they are. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,759 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nothing to do with a soup maker, not even a recipe, just a yarn really, although I did end up with a soup. Almost 2 years ago my son, daughter in law and grandaughter visited from Aussie, and daughter in law is a vegetarian. Bear in mind it was a very cold february so I thought I would make a veggie stew with dumplings. All the usual root veg that would normally go into a meaty stew, no pearl barley though so I supplemented with some red lentils, Knorr veggie stock cubes big lumps of swede, parsnip, potato, leeks, onions, carrots etc, plus tomato puree. Even bought a couple of packets of vegetarian dumpling mix, normally make my own but couldn't find any vegetarian suet. When I dished it out she asked me what the big things were, told her they were vegetarian chive dumplings, turns out she's never even heard of them let alone tasted one. She couldn't get on with the large chunks of veg either. Me and my lad and the wife had a large dish each before I succumbed and went at the remainder with an emersion blender. I must say that the daughter in law and the baby loved it and it lasted them about 3 days, and I will admit that although a puree it made a damn fine soup. Took a photo of it as a stew, but not after it had been blitzed. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,021 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Love dumplings and a baked suet pudding with a nice golden crust for stews 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,035 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Like that Mister Gain. We do chive dumplings with a rabbit Friccasay (that's got to be the wrong spelling) and the result is very good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
