There is sun here - it is above the fog - probably

Weather Underground site I just found says it is 1degree

For us to go to the chippy would be an 18 mile round trip. And they are closed due to lock down now.

Brunch for me was fresh crusty cob, warm-fresh cooked chicken and pickled onion. Very yummy.

we have LOTS of sprouts

Once had sprout soup in a cafe in Castle Douglas on New Years Day, it was very nice indeed. Just a thought !

Someone has been scoffing all the mince pies again, so made 24 and also made 5 LB of mince meat that will be ready for next month

I think my 1st attempt will be either carrot and coriander or chicken........SiL brought us a cooked chicken so I will maybe shred some up.
Don't have any cabbage but we have LOTS of sprouts

Don't get too fancy. Just keep it simple with a small number of ingredients. Cut the sprouts into quarters if going for a smooth soup which I normally do. Depending on total size half dozen should do to start with and carrots cut into rough cubes about one inch square or thereabouts.
You learn by experience and incidentally tinned tomatoes are a handy addition sometimes. An onion is a useful addition also.

My private pension is increasing by wait for it.....£24.48 a YEAR. Better than going down by that amount.

I would of thought that an onion is the basis of any soup. Celery is also good for sweetening soups and stews.
