Hi welcome.  Have been making loads of leek soup as leeks are very cheap at present.  Next carrots.  I use the big bones from the pigs  and chicken carcasses to make the stock for the soups.  Somehow home made soup and french bread just go together.

Hello from me in South Lanarkshire 
I think everyone's thinking 'soup' at this time of year - something to do with the weather 
Look forward to hearing more from you

I make loads of soup. I can kid my myself that it's not fattening. I tend to forget that Ialso eat loads of bread with it!  Welcome to the site!

Welcome

here's one for you butter bean and bacon soup for all you pig lovers out there.... don't ask me for quantities as i just throw things in a pot, renowned for doing it. The kids say i never can make the same dish twice as i can't remember what i put in them in the first time round...

butter beans approx about 3 mugs when soaked
12 slices of bacon (i cook this first a bit)
2 or 3 carrots depending on the size
2 or 3 potatoes again depending on the size
roughly 2 litres of water

cook, season with salt and pepper add a small cartoon of single cream and blend

mmm  mmmm mmmmmm

Now i need to make soup...

Thanks Rosemary i do agree with the rolls hot with butter, but i tend to put extra light spreed on lol.
Happy Hippy i think it is the weather, warms the bones lol.
Hirlarysmum i will try leek soup i do like butter beans.
Where i come from we have a dish called "LOBBY" its: stew meat, and all types of veggies in and stock , boiled until cooked, gravy browning and have it not to runny or not to thick, tastes even better the next day.

This is a really nice soup.............

1lb Courgettes/Marrow sliced
2 medium spuds sliced.......we use Rooster
1 Onion sliced
1 pint stock
8oz Brie (scrape off the white) cubed

Soften onion in a little oil
Add stock and rest of veg,and cook till soft
Add and disolve cheese

Puree

It would make a nice summer soup, too, with a drop of cream.

[mscowbag]

Did the Broccoli and Stilton soup it was very yummy.
I had those Rooster pototoes the other week and they are good.
