Hi Ally, food does sound good.
Can I ask you a question about freezing soup. When I get my frozen soup from thr freezer & thaw it out it is so thin. I have been told since to heat it when thawed and it will thicken back up again. Do you find that is ok?
The other thing is how much approx do you use of Sweet Potato and Carrot for your soup?
I love BNS & carrot and potato & sweetcorn, not tried potato and leek yet. The main reason being that I only do one type at a time because not confident with the freezing.
Soup maker, my DIL wants to get me one for christmas, but I`m not sure, I usually make a large saucepanful. What sort of quantities does it make please.
Hi Doreen,
I have no problems with freezing soup, I take it out of the freezer the night before and it will be fully defrosted for lunch time (or if I've forgot to take it out the night before, I defrost it in the microwave too before heating it!) BNS soup comes out fine though I've found the potato and leek goes a weird texture, sort of like it separates but after giving it a good stir it's fine. They would still be as thick, both would be blended soup, I've never froze chunky soup.
The carrot soup I made yesterday was a bit of an experiment. I remember once adding sweet potato to either BNS or carrot and not liking it but I tried this last night and I liked it. I used probably about 6 small-medium carrots, 2 red onions and 1 sweet potato. It did taste quite 'carroty' but I liked it.
The soup maker has a maximum 1.6 litre capacity (minimum 1.3 l). On amazon that is described as serving 6 but I would get 4 decent sized portions out of it
I definitely recommend it, I love mine
Thanks so much for that Ally I am gonna try the carrot & sweet potato.
B: banana, apple and pear.
L: BNS soup, 2 ryvita (B) and 1 dairylea triangle (part A), apple and pear.
D: quorn chilli, rice, 1 taco shell (3.5) and wee bit of salad.
Still full from dinner, first ever time making chilli and I really liked it. Not keen on the taco shells (bf wasn't ether!) so next time will give them a miss and stick just with rice!
So still syns and another B to have. Not sure on what yet since I can not eat another bite at the moment!
Off work tomorrow and looking forward to trying the meringue thing from the new recipe book for me and mum Hopefully it turns out yum. I've tried a few SW desserts before that never turn out right!
