Souper Weather
We ended up using the contents of my Fruit and Veg box win for good, not evil (including banana and pears for snacking this week).
A yummy roast chook for Sunday and Monday
And yummy, but less pretty Curry/lentil soup. See below the cut for what went into that one.
(ps only 3 more days to end to win The Purple Glitter Jesus Money Box. Jesus is currently in my fruit bowl.
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 cloves garlic (I used jar)
- 4-5 bacon rashers, rind removed, roughly chopped
- oil (about 2 tablespoons olive oil)
- 3 potatoes, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup brown lentils
- 1L beef stock
- 1tbs curry powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Sautee garlic, onion and bacon in oil over low-med heat until onion soft.
- Add vegetables and tomato, heat through
- Stir in stock, curry powder, lentils
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Simmer for at least an hour – more if you have time. Top up the water as needed.

Looks delicious, Fiona.
That is a beautifully even-coloured chook! Mmmm…

That soup looks awesome for the crockpot. Lentils or beans always cook really well in there. I’m going to give it a go in another month or so when it’s crockpot weather.
As someone who’s been existing for the last little while on gelato and, before that, Paris patisserie treats, I honestly think that soup looks amazing. Dear heavens I need to eat something like that…

That soup is a bowl-full of veggie goodness! It looks great and my husband would love the use of beef stock in that.
