Soup weather

I went to Aldi yesterday afternoon for milk. I had run out as I had lots of tea drinking visitors on the snow day arriving on foot. It is usually walkable in about 20 minutes but with frozen pavements I unfroze the car windscreen and went in the car. The main road was clear and I negotiated the ice to get down the hill to the junction. It was very hard to leave the warm house as there was a real nip in the air. I dived in for milk and planned to not spend on anything else but as human nature kicked in I had a nosey around for bargains. I would never buy this normally as I think it cost about  a pound but for a 27 p yellow sticker
I caved in and bought it. There obviously must be a lot of people that are too busy to chop vegetables as there are several soup flavours available. There was just one of these. All you do is add 500 ml of stock. I used a knor chicken cube. I also added some black pepper to warm it up a bit.I usually soften my onions first but I followed the instructions to boil for 20 minutes and it was surprisingly tasty.


With a chunk of bread and a slice of cheese it was a hearty meal. I forgot to take a photo of finished soup as we had scoffed the lot before I remembered. I would never had spent a pound for this but for 27 p it was a quick and easy mealtime fix.
This morning as I write this it is -9C. I have rekindled the log burner from last night. The gas boiler is chugging away keeping the house cosy. The sun is out and it is a bright and cheerful morning. The pavements are frozen solid. The OH has managed to go to work today. Thankfully his job is on a main road so no minor roads to negotiate. We saw this on a local Facebook page for Bourton on the Water.

This is why it was better to stay in yesterday if you didn’t need to be anywhere. There was also this lovely picture of the Bourton on the Water Christmas tree.
I would love to go and have a look for myself but not until the roads improve. I know we are not the coldest place in the country today so keep warm and safe wherever you are.
