Sign of cold weather
One of the signs of the approach of the colder weather is when I get the itch to have soup. It’s been nagging me for a few days, I raided the freezer to see if there was any, but no, all gone, so I thought to myself, accept it gal, the days of salad are over, time to get the slow cooker out, visit the butcher and buy some nice smoked ham.
Did it to-day, picked up some carrot and a fresh pack of lentils and now the slow cooker is emitting the most delicious smell of lentil soup with carrot and coriander and a dash of mixed chilli and allspice. That’s tomorrows and next day’s lunch sorted, then I’ll freeze the rest. Smells good.

Hi Sheila, happy to share the recipe, very simple, I use a slow cooker, first a pack of SMOKED bacon pieces, cook till simmering and then an hour or so, add a good cup and half of lentils two- three peeled large carrots in chunks , coriander, pinch crushed chillies, chicken cube and a tin of chopped tomatoes, cook till carrot is soft, then puree it, salt to taste, voila, makes 8 portions.
I would try yours, but not a Stilton lover. sorry.
Weather not too bad to-day, apart from a sharp shower dry.
I did enjoy my soup, tomorrow chicken casserole.
Thank you Arlene sounds lovely , I use my slow cooker at times . Last week I used it for a slow cook piece of Brisket , it was delsih. Enjoy your chicken casserole xx
