Hmm soup

[Telori]

Last night after shopping (and refreshing our vegitable supplies) I peeled and cut up all our 'old' vegies, chucked them in the slow cooker and let them stew away til now we have the yummiest vegitable soup for dinner tonight...

I froze three lots as well...they can be used as bases for other soups or stews or in mince or something (it's chunky soup)...

Since we lost our guinae pigs I've hated throwing out the vegies that go yuck before we eat them...now I know what to do with them!...very pleased with myself :D

I love my slow cooker! :x

One of the best inventions ever!

Old veggies can also be cooked and mashed to use as a base for meat patties or vege burgers....even vege fritters. Again just freeze until needed.

Isn't it great Teena - I make a huge pot of soup every Sunday as I go grocery shopping every Monday and buy a heap of fresh vegies for the week.

So whatever vegies are left every Sunday get put in :d:

my DH always calls my soups & stews "stew soup" he does'nt think i make them any different to the other ' how rude eh

[Kekka]

Jolly rude Mad Old Cow. Does DH cook at all?!

[Mad Old Cow]

he cooks a few things but not nearly enough ( & i tell him to )
i am cooking a big pot of soup in the morning 'no meat' much to hubbys disgust he likes meat in his soups we used to make one soup for him with meat & one for me without but now unless he makes his own he will be having veg soup I'm making lots because i am going to DD tomorrow & i will pop some in her freezer for her she is off to Sydney for a few day's in the morning so she can have some of my soup when she arrives home ( she does'nt care if it's soup stew lol )

I'm afraid I must be very wasteful I throw away any vege that is not fresh, I make soup for my youngest daughter and freeze it in small pottles for her to take back to uni with her at least that way I know she is getting something warm and nutritious but always use fresh veges mind you we have a huge vege garden maybe if I had to buy them I might think twice

[Mad Old Cow]

i would never use veg that looks limp or yukky

[Heather]

I make a Chicken Noodle soup that the ex always liked.

[Mad Old Cow]

did you invite them for Dinner H a long drive just for dinner . maybe you could freeze some for next time he drives through & just throw it at the windscreen as he drives past lol

[Heather]

You are naughty.....I think he would probably stop and pick it up....she doesn't cook....they have a lot of takeaways or simple food like hamburgers or processed meat....think nuggets.
Or so I've been told by the TT.
