Home Made Soups

[Beverley]

Does anyone have a recipe for Tomato Soup and/or Mushroom Soup please? I know I can go and look it up but I would like a tried and true one if I can.
Thanks heaps.

I will adapt it to suit my Gluten Allergy.

[yomamma]

[Beverley]

I will actually let you go on your lunch date. Thanks Yoyo. Enjoy yourself.
I'm not in that much of a hurry.

[yomamma]

thankyou bev

crab and black mushroom appeal to you?

I haven't tried these ones. They are from my Golden Wattle Cook book(sort of like WA's version of CWA)

Add stock,seasoning,sugar andsimmer till tender
Remove bacon and rub vegies through sieve
Return aoup to pan,when boiling add flour boil 3 mins til thick
Remove from heat. Add heated milk just before serving.

[Beverley]

rub vegies through sieve :eww:
This is the part of these types of soups that makes me want to throw up. Mushing stuff!
Would I be able to just put it in the blender? If I have to sieve it I will be sick. Mushing in the blender is bad enough.

My mother makes me a GF Banana and Walnut cake because I can't mush the banana without throwing up. My poor mother. Isn't she sweet though.

[yomamma]

it is to get the tom skins out, if you peel them first you could blend it

[Beverley]

Thank you and thank goodness for that. I may still be sick with the blending. Very weak stomach when it comes to playing with food.

The Crab and Black Mushroom appeals to me too thanks.

yummo you are making me hungry now yoyo:yes: sounds so nice,will give it ago.:yes:

[Beverley]

Thank you Yoyo. That sounds great. It won't be much of a hassle to get Gluten Free stuff for that.

[yomamma]

Let us know what the mushy one is like, it sounds nice but to much work for me

[Beverley]

Yes sure will. I know it's a bit fiddly but it's either make it myself or go without and I've gone without for years.

BTW - your Elvis is scary. He isn't scary. Stop making him scary please??? My poor Elvis.

[yomamma]

I just couldn't resist downloading him

[Beverley]

My poor Elvis. He's a hunk not scary! Sometimes when I'm going through the posts and I'm scrolling down, I come across Elvis and think, oh, I've posted in here!! Not. It's you.

[yomamma]

i was thinking the same, i was also thinking should i put up the same avatar and confuse everyone

[Beverley]

Thanks for changing the avatar. Much nicer. Crooked face, but nicer. My Elvis would never have a crooked face. He is perfect!

I wonder if we're confusing others as much as each other. LOL

[yomamma]

:Hehe: :Hehe: :Hehe: :Hehe:

[mel35]

I wonder if we're confusing others as much as each other. LOL

In a simple answer..... YES:D

[Beverley]

Good. Mission accomplished!! Hate you all to miss out on the confusion!
I might change mine. No I won't, yes I might, dunno, I will think about it!

[yomamma]

[Beverley]

If you take scary Elvis away I might tell you. Might not too cause I don't know if I can remember.

[yomamma]

I like scary Elvis, I wish I could a look like that

[Telori]

[yomamma]

[Beverley]

Thanks Yoyo. I haven't got Elvis anymore either. Now they will be confused won't they.
I will go looking for the bunny for you. I think it's the only one that I found, so if you just want to 'borrow' mine you can.

[yomamma]

thankyou Beverley you are a true gem

[Beverley]

I know. I don't want praise though I want money!!!

I just changed mine becaused of Fluffy passing away. I was hoping you would get it before I changed it.

I listen to 4KQ and they are playing Elvis today for some reason. About 4 in a row. Ahhhhh!
