COLD DARK ROOM

[Cowboy_Ken]

I also want some nice soup recipes please. Especially vegetarian ones for when winter comes. Pretty Please

Just vegetarian or “gluten free” as well? I’m not being sarcastic here. My girlfriend is allergic to gluten and so I’m learning all kinds of new stuff to cook fer her. You can always go with tofu chili. I would take the tofu and smash it up, frying in coconut oil with Tamari for flavor. In days gone by, I’d make this chili up for “The Farm”. For the most part everyone at “The Farm” was vegetarian and this chili tastes so authentic that these “peace loving” hippie types would come unglued at me for trying to “trick or fool” them.
Good times were had by all.

Good morning, all. We canceled the Hamburg trip. Many trains are delayed or canceled and the weather on the ground is described as “biting cold”. Just wouldn’t be a fun trip we’d been hoping for.
Instead, I’m staying in my cozy warm corner:

(A frozen fountain on my street, next to a place where HC Andersen used to stay the night during his trips between Copenhagen and his hometown, Odense.)

I am happy to share my Google Drive folder with anyone that PM’s me their email address.

I tried this one recently - it was different and really nice. I chucked in 200g of red lentils to make it more filling.

I use recipes for guidance. Mixed vegetable soup (aka things that look past their best in the fridge) is quite common here

I always blitz soups with the stick blender as I prefer them smooth.

Ooohhh. That one looks really nice. I am going to try it. Yum yum yum.

No gluten in most soups as long as you use gluten free stock cubes

 

[CarolM]

Meerkat.
Water.
Boil.
Soup.

Whahahahaha - It might not taste so nice, As the Meerkat will probably be too tough.

Good morning, Carol.

Good Morning Adam.
Have a happy day teaching.

Lol, vegetarian. My youngest is vegetarian so I sometimes struggle for recipes for him, as hubby and eldest son love their meat. I end up making two seperate kinds of meals every evening.

Often times I like tossing in some noddles as filling. I’m a huge fan of soup stocks. I’ll drink a large coffee mug of it chicken broth soup with my lunch meat sandwich and then at times in the evening to unwind before the bed.

Wow. Looks quite awesome.

I use lentils to bulk up soups. They’re gluten free. I make a big pan at the start of the week and take a flask of soup with me to work.

@DE42 Dan, you can freeze soups in ziplock bags once the contents are not too hot. It ends up saving you a lot of time while still providing you with a healthy meal. We can run a support/cheerleader campaign here to get you started

Howdy Adam.

Good morning, Cowboy.
Or perhaps Good Very Early in The Morning would be more appropriate.

I hardly use lentils at all. So will be adding some to our eating plans. Can't wait to start making some of those soups. They all look really delicious.

Good idea Lena.

I believe Hans used to write stories about birds and things freezing to death in the winter in Denmark.
Just buy those hamburgers your daughter was expecting and dress up in lederhosen and she'll never know the difference.

Chickpeas are high protein, high fibre, gluten free too.

Off to a great start.

Well, it is raining.

Hmmm, I actually don't mind chickpeas, it would certainly be better than potatoes. And you could also it them to bulk up the soup, if you ar blitzing the soup. I am now getting hungry.....

Yay for the rain. Some free time - yippee.
