The Soup Monster

[MaryN]

I don't know how the rest of you out there are coping with the supermarket panic-buying; I refuse to go near any more large stores for the time being. But, we need decent food to keep going, and I have resorted to the time-honoured practice of soup-making. It's amazing what you can do with a few vegetables that have been languishing in the fridge. Big favourite is good old leek and potato. It's so simple to make; tastes good and costs pennies. I found a ham hock end in my freezer last week and gleefully tossed it into the stock pot with dried split peas and a chopped up leek. It lasted 2 days for the two of us.

If anyone out there has any favourite recipes please pass them on.
