Soup-er

We did our weekly shop at Tesco's this week instead of our beloved Sainsbury's and although I was a bit disappointed (they didn't have Tunnocks teacakes!!) I did pick up a soup vegetable mix for a pound. Bargain!

And I didn't realise just how easy it is to make soup, I popped my veg in the saucepan 

Mixed my two stock cubes in water

Mixed the two and brought to the boil

Covered and boiled for 30 mins

Let it cool for a little while and then blitzed it in my blender

Then back in the pan to heat! I honestly did not know soup was this easy - I think some people must just make it look hard!

Weekend Ritual

Weekends mean tasty soup for lunch

Yum yum yum

Much better than what almost happened Friday, I said to the boyfriend I was thinking of cutting down a bit. Oh right he says, lets go out for a meal before we go grocery shopping. Ok I said. So I get a text later in the day.... how about McDonalds he says. Err... cutting down? Ok, how about KFC he replies?

Ohhh dearrr!
