The Souper Soup Thread [Merged]

A cheap n cheerful soup courtesy of Lidl - pack of winter veg (€1.99), 2 sticks of celery, a chicken stock pot, a rind from old parmesan, some parsley I have growing on the windowsill.

A swirl of sour cream to add a bit of indulgence, some toasted seeds, and a seedy Ancient Grain Roll on special from Lidl.

If I don't get my day's fibre from that, there's no justice in the world.

Absolutely gorgeous, and I got 5 hefty portions from the 1 pack of veg so I reckon lunch cost me approx. €2 max in total, and I'm stuffed!

Just made very easy Carrot and Prawn soup - it was make it up as you go along, but it ended up really nice.

4 largish carrots, one large courgette, small onion, sliced up, sauted a bit then simmered in about half a pint of fish stock. Blend. Add can of coconut milk (83% one from Aldi) and thawed prawns, re-heat (don't boil or the milk will separate). I pondered spices etc but ended up with just plenty of white pepper.
