Our Latest Discovery...

  As we mostly work from home lunch is part of this cook's job everyday. Thank goodness for soup as it's an easy and welcome choice especially on these chilly days. I do make my own stock and have a bit of home made soup in the freezer, but I also rely on tinned to supplement when my home made runs out or when unexpected company appears.

  When I want to turn tinned soup into "home made" I have an easy trick. Just stir in 2 -3 teaspoons of a Bittersweet Blend into the soup pot as you are adding the water/and/or milk. For example as I was making condensed, tinned pumpkin soup with half water and half milk I added 1 tablespoon Bittersweet Tandoori Twist (because we like a bit of spice) and got rave reviews. Today I made Tomato soup (with half water and half milk) and added 2 teaspoons So Savoury Blend. The combinations are endless. Tomorrow??? I think I'll be in a curry mood with a Cream of Chicken Soup. Hooray! It is definitely SOUP SEASON!

  Walk in the door after a working day and have dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less. Actually it's the rice, pasta or potatoes that take the most time. The trick is using cooked chicken and that can be rotisserie, smoked or leftover roast chicken. By using more capsicum, celery or adding courgettes you can expand the recipe to feed another few people without expanding your budget. The recipe above used Bittersweet Cajun Cookin'Blend, but you could use any Bittersweet Blend.
