Summer? Summer?!!! We've had rain, more rain, thunder, lightning, more rain and huge hailstones!! Can I come and live in Cornwall with you? I'll help with the gardening
Well done on another good soup day, Sue :wavey:
to have your yummy soups, hehe, its freeeeeeeeeeezing in London ! 
xx
How many syns is it, does anyone know ? xx
Also I love soup. Even though I am only just signing up here is a recipe to show willing - one of my favourite soups. I am going to batch cook some soups over the weekend and freeze them ready to grab for work and have them for lunch everyday.
Hello I would like to sign up for monday for the get fit cycle. I can do Green and Red but slightly worried about only 10 syns but feel like I should give it a go to hopefully boost things for my Christmas Goal
Am going to give Rosies's cauliflower cheese soup a go for starters
Roast Tomato Soup
800-900g Tomatoes. It is best to use vine or cherry or heirloom - the smaller tomatoes' have more flavour even if a bit more fiddly but any are okay except like beefsteak ones as they are all water)
2 onions
handful of garlic cloves (I use about 8 but you can use less if not a garlic fan)
500-600ml stock (chicken or veg)
2 bay leaves
frylight
You chop all the tomatoes and put them chopped side down on a baking tray. (May need several baking trays)
Peel the garlic and onions and chop the onions into large chunks and put them on the tray too
Spray liberally with frylight to stop anything burning and add salt and pepper to taste
Cook in the oven on gas mark 6/180 degrees for 30 mins
(This concentrates all the tomato flavour and you get a lovely smoky taste to the garlic and onions)
Then chuck all the tomatoes, onion and garlic it in a pan and add the stock and bay leaves and simmer on low for 20 mins.
Remove bay leaves and blitz. If you like you can add some chopped fresh herbs here but I don't generally bother.
Welcome on board lovely, looking forward to doing the challenge together next week. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your recipe with us. I am going to challenge myself to follow some recipes from my friends for a change otherwise I can get quite boreing and keep making the same soups over and over lol. With regards to the syns hun, try and go for low syns snacks so that you feel you are eating a lot for your 10 syns worth. For example if you have something that's 10 syns, for some that might be ok but once you've eaten it, its gone. It's nice to make a treat bag that you can save for the end of the day when your infront of the telly. You will find hun all the fibre and the soup will fill you up and you wont get that hungry feeling as much as you think you will. If you do go over by a few syns, we can always reign it back at the end of the week. It's your 1st week lovely, enjoy it and please don't feel its a strict plan, its fun and creative you can make your soups as yummy as you want and we have the perfect weather for it. Good luck for next week and I will add your name to the list now. And thank you once again for sharing your yummy soup recipe with us .
