Soup!

I have decided that soup is the answer to all my problems! Weight, saving money, weight. Everything can be addressed by substituting restaurant food, Pret sandwiches and all the other junk I eat for soup.

Here is my latest creation - cheap as hell and healthy as you can get with cooked food - Carrot and Corrainder Soup.



And here is a literary soup reference from my collection of food quotes (every girl should have one!):

"She bought some calvesfoot jelly, some essence of beef and a bottle of aspirin. She got to the door, then went back and bought a packet of rusks. Altogether it cost her sixteen shillings, which left four shillings in her handbag and eleven pounds in her post office book, but she couldn't draw any of that until tomorrow. By the time she came back, the kettle was just boiling. She made the beef tea like her mother used to, in a glass with a teaspoon to stop it cracking, and all the time she glanced towards him, as if she were afraid he was dead."
