Wacky Wednesday

Good Morning one and all... so what do we have on for today then. Congratulations Jean on your court hearing. How did we all do yesterday, and I'm not just talking about food either. How did we handle the good bits, bad bits, were we kind to ourselves, etc etc. Well you asked for it, so here's the recipe for cabbage & bean soup - very easy - I don't do complicated All the amounts are very rough - depends on how much I have at the time, so you can vary it to your taste. Chop up some leeks, and put in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil together with some garlic (if you like garlic that is!!), add chopped cabbage (the original recipe said white, but I have never managed to get it so use red instead - works the same) and fry til soft. Add a couple of cans of borlotti beans (or use fresh if you want) and top up with water til you get the consistancy that you like - more water = more soupy, less water = more stew like. Throw in a 2 peeled potatoes about half tennis ball size chunks, and a couple of peeled but whole carrots, and some stock cubes to taste, leave to cook on a simmer for a couple of hours until you like it, and Bob's your uncle - cabbage & bean soup or bean & cabbage soup depending on the amounts of each To make it even more yummy, you can fry off some chopped bacon with the leeks. Serve with grated cheese on top, and my hubbie has a hunk of bread. I haven't worked out the nutricianal values, but I figure it must be low in calories at least! Have a great day!

Thank You Ruth that sounds very yummy, I will have to make some... I like the idea with bacon, I might not add the potatoes. That might be good with chicken in it, or little chicken meatballs.

Apparently you need at least one medium/large potato for the beans - not sure what it does, haven't tried it without Good to see yoru new pic is back
