Porridge is absolutely fine hun - how much did you have?

You can go EE or Green for the rest of the day if you have your Mug Shot.

Never done Success Express but Mrs Wilsoncroft wrote a lovely thread on it - it's in the general forum.

Love love love home made soups! I've looked back on my foody diary and discovered that my biggest losses have been when I've made a big soup!

Have you tried superspeed soup?

I make a nice red pepper & sweet potato and a nice spicy vegetable soup.

Let me know if you want the recipes

Ooooo yes please, if you dont mind.
So...sorry if i sound dim here...if i were to have homemade soup, would this be ok if im doing success express...or would i need a salad to go with it?
Havnt tried the superspeed soup yet...would you recommend?

Hi hun ... if you look in the Recipe section and put soup in the search box there are some lovely recipes.

Here's one of mine:

4 sprays of frylight in the saucepan
1 onion, cook for a couple of mins
Add 2 sweet potatoes and 2 carrots
Season
Add mixed dried herbs
Sprinkle in some ground cumin
Pour in 1 pint of veg stock made with 2 veg oxo cubes
Bring to boil then simmer for 30 mins

When cool blitz with blender

I found it a bit thick so added about half a pint of water

Lubbly jubbly! It is gorgeous!

All my soups start the same ... sweat the onion, add a couple of carrots then go from there ... 2 red peppers and 2 sweet potatoes is a good one. Add veg stock but not ground cumin to that one.

I've made all kinds. I've added cabbage, brocolli, leeks - anything goes.

I heard once about the best fake Heinz tomato soup:

1 tin of tomatoes
1 tin of baked beans
1 tin of carrots
2 pickled onions

Boil, blitz & blend - I didn't like it! too sweet for me!

I get the same feeling about the Superspeed Soup - I worry that it's an awful lot of soup to make - probably not cheap by the time you put in all those ingredients - and what if I don't like it??

And finally ... yes this would work on Success Express - as long as you add lots of superspeeds(?) (think I'm right in saying superspeed - might be superfree - check first!)

 

[PrincessZoe]

Oooo thanks Ali, they sound amaaaazing!
Will try them over the weekend and let you know how i get on xx
