Keep stirring. Get out a pint of milk and add to pan a bit at a time. Keep stirring. Add more milk Keep stirring. Repeat slowly until all the milk is in the pan. If you add the milk too quickly it will go lumpy Grate a decent size chunk of your favourite cheese. Mix into sauce Keep stirring. Drain Maccaroni. It'll be about ready by now. Stir into the cheesy sauce. Keep stirring. If you're feeling flash bung it into an oven proof dish, sprinkle more cheese on top and pop it under the grill for a bit to crisp up. I like it with lots of black pepper too Wendygun's Turkey, Cranberry and brie toasted sandwhiches .........only to be made on boxing day, its law in our house recipe 2x slices of whichever bread was still left on the shelf before it got raided left over turkey.........because its got to be used up brie nicked off the cheese board cranberry sauce or jelly.....whichever you prefer. toasted in a griddle pan. loverllly the reason i have to do this is my daughter will only come home for xmas if i promise these, i have to do all the cooking in our house as mrs w can't,won't. JennyB's Bubble and Squeak Soup Served at Tatton Park Christmas Barbeque Olive oil 2 large onions, roughly diced 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut in rough 1cm dice 1 litre vegetable stock 250 g Brussels sprouts, finely shredded and rinsed 125 ml single cream Salt, pepper and freshly grated nutmeg Heat the oil and add the onions. Cook until soft and transparent, then add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 mins until the vegetables are totally cooked. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of grated nutmeg. Bring to the boil and add the shredded sprouts. Allow the soup to simmer vigorously for 6-8 mins or until the sprouts become tender. The soup can now be liquidized ( I prefer to use a hand blitzer in the saucepan as it means less washing-up). Add the cream and check the seasoning. This soup eats well with crispy streaky bacon strips crumbled and sprinkled on top This will serve between 4-6, so just increase the quantities for more servings. I also sometimes throw a few parsnips in for extra flavour and have also used sour cream or creme fraiche instead of single cream. The soup also freezes very well - it's worth keeping some pots in the freezer to take on camping trips! ktjivvedubbin's Broccoli & Goats Cheese Soup Serves 6 or 4 decent size bowlfuls. 50 g butter 2 onions-chopped couple cloves of garlic 1 litre stock(veg or chicken) 700g broccoli-broken into florets 150g goats cheese (Iused a hard cheese, not the really soft type but any is fine) Melt butter, add onions and garlic.Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add half the stock and bring to the boil. Add broccoli and bring to the boil. Cover pan, reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins or so. Leave the soup to cool a little then add goats cheese and blend. Add the remaining stock, reheat, season then serve. Yummy with chunky bread
Voted for Jenny's soup as that's the only one I've made so far. I'll get round to trying the other recipes soon
I am one of those folk that doesn't usually win anything, so thank you people for your kind votes! I still have a pot of the said soup in the freezer, am thinking it needs to be defrosted for lunch today to celebrate my win!
