Last night's dinner was easy - steak for him and leftover pie for me plus veges. Tonight is much the same except it is curry from the casserole bank for him!
Today we needed more soup . Lunch will revert to sandwiches when the hot weather returns but until then, most days it is soup for Mike. I had bought a couple of leeks from Coles on special a week or so ago and it was time to use them.
2 leeks and 6 carrots, chopped and softened in a splash of olive oil. Two chopped potatoes, a tablespoon of chopped ginger and one chopped garlic clove were added and cooked for a minute before an indeterminate amount of water (I just add by guess under the tap) and 2 heaped teaspoonsfuls of chicken stock powder were added. Simmer until soft. When almost cool blend until smooth and add more water if necessary. It tasted OK but I felt it needed a bit of something so used the trick I had found of adding a slurp of Soy sauce (this works with most soups, I have found).

Hello,
This seems like a wonderful idea, not just for you!!
Thanks for the recipes and tips. Your spinach pie sounds great.
Now when I can't find a recipe, this might be a pretty efficient way of retieving it!!
