As a note for anybody getting confused yes you have seen this before, in fact I already have 2 blogs started that I can no longer get into.............I am hoping this will become third time lucky!!!!

Soup Dragon

After much messing with a small (and very old) blender..........I have finally indulged myself and bought a brand spanking new monster of a thing with a glass jug!!! - wow the difference already is amazing and I am finally back on track with soup, just the way I like it!!   I love homemade soup but have to produce it to different requirements in our house, my son would have the juice minus the chunky bits (if that was offered as an option for him..............which it isn't!!) the kids or husband don't like it blended as I do, and I always add an extra kick to my husbands serving. home made soup has got to be one of the worlds finest things, you can use up practically anything that is sitting in the fridge and there is something so comforting about it.   I have a couple of tips that might be of interest.....If I ever drop on packs of reduced onions, celery, or leeks I snap them up as these can be frozen without any prep, simply wash chop and stick usable amounts in bags in the freezer, if you get all three together do mixed bags this can sometimes give you the push you need to get some soup on. Another little trick I used to use, is to add a small tin of butter beans before blending (I still do this if making my soup (thick blended stuff that resembles baby food!!!!) not only does this addition add extra goodness, but it serves to thicken and adds volume so your soup goes just that little bit further!! So here's to the season of soup!!
