Hmmm not sure the missus would agree with that lol.
Yes, we've been having a lot of home made soup in recent months. I'm really into spicy chorizo and tomato made with loads of beans etc. Have been experimenting with red kidney beans, chick peas, butter beans, borlotti beans, cannellini beans etc. and it's really healthy, hearty stuff. I make a massive pot full which does 3 adults for 3 main meals each for less than a tenner and of course all sorts of leftovers can get used up this way. The beans etc. are so cheap when bought dried and it's amazing how they soak up the flavours... Yummy!
In fact I'll probably use some of the lovely jellified turkey stock I've just frozen for the base of my next soup.
I reckon if more people cooked their own, simple, food instead of relying on branded ready meals, take-aways etc. their money would go a lot further.
