Little desire to derail the thread and am aware it's not a soup but I really do like stew and dumplings with lashings of HP to carry us both through these long inclement winter nights. It keeps the body warm and satiated, especially when the days are still short. If I am not allowed to have stew and dumplings as a thread choice then Heinz Cream Of Mushroom is a very good runner up when served with brown seeded bread .. even if it has less taste than it used too. A touch bland and in need of added seasoning but still a good effort @60p a can.

Much as I hate scousers, there is something magical in the depths of winter about slowly cooking some cheap cubed beef or lamb with onion, chunks of potatoes and carrots. My favourite soup on a Friday evening is 'loudmouth soup' - I'm on my fourth pint now so you'll all be getting told to fuck off later unless I decide to go to bed soon.

Coventry by Proxy then as there's only me who talks to you : /

Your thinking of scouse which is a stew associated with the Liverpool area, usually containing meat, onions, carrots and potatoes (I use the word meat liberally here to mean anything that actually breathes) whilst our Northern Stew is lovingly derived from a cooking-dish used for boiling/simmering. Always accompanied by delicious suet-dumplings which as an addendum the scouse wastrels cannot afford.

Cream of Asparagus soup for me.

Chops the ends of the Asparagus and chop a few tips off.

Chops two onions.

Melt butter and fry Asparagus, add onion after a bit, cook until all soft (Don’t brown anything).

Add a bit of flour in.

Add chicken stock to big pan and pour contents of frying pan into it.

Simmer it for ages (40 mins) else it gets stringy.

Put it all through the blender in batches and into another pan to piss the missus off (assuming she’s washing up).

Add cream, salt and pepper to taste and the Asparagus tips, cook again until the tips are cooked.

I’ll get the proper measurements I use if anyone asks :)
