The soups of my childhood were most often cooked by my granny. I remember going shopping with her on a Saturday morning and calling with the butcher. She always got some shin bone to flavour the soup stock and added lots of root vegetables, potatoes and parsley. She also added a mix of lentils, pearl barley and split peas. I'd love a bowl now! Thanks for transporting me back to her kitchen. Hope you're enjoying your weekend! Bee xx<br /><br />PS I wonder if the bones where to fertilise the plants. My Dad used bonemeal for his roses. I could be on completely the wrong track though!

I used to have a Philippino friend who always used to say she didn't understand why people bought tinned soup when all you needed to do was throw some vegetables in a pan. Every time I think about buying soup, I think of her. Soup is a wonderful thing for using up vegetables, either the ones in the bottom of the fridge or for tackling gluts.
