Well just packed for month one room, will repeat that (month one) Now I know I've moaned but am a little chuffed to be going there!. Taking my kitchen kit with me, so lots of cooking, as going for four weeks yippe yippe.

On a serious note thanks all who have helped get me to month one.:):)

Chick pea soup, store cupboard version

Onion

Tin tomatoes

Tin chick peas

Garlic,cinnamon paprika, chillie, sugar and s&p ( about a tea spoon each) and 2 to 4 garlic gloves

Olive oil

Lemon juice

Chicken or veg stock cube

Fry onions just untill softened, add spices in including sugar, not lemon juice

Add tin of tomatoes and chop up a bit,

Add chick peas

And enough chicken stock to just quite not cover

Cooke around 20 mins un covered.

Take out a couple of ladles and blend, put back in with soup add few drops lemon juice and hay hoe, you can add other kind of white tins of beans, it's what I have in the pantry , just easy as we all have tins ect so no brainer!

Hi Tracey nearly a month in the bag is brilliant! Hope you enjoy your new room I have frequented it many times :eek: the soup sounds delicious too, I have found a nice recipe for an Italian pasta soup to do in the slow cooker, ideal in the holidays because I put it on in the morning and if we go out with kids it's ready for lunch when we get back x

[nsd_user663_59644]

Oh sound lovely, I do love slow cookers, and so cheap to run , sounds nice? What's is it you cook? .

Yes feeling better this afternoon noon, so fingers crossed can only go forward as going back is not a option for me.

Hi Donna.

If you like west Indian food you should check out my goat curry recipe, it's on a thread best food recipes.

I've neaver given it to anybody apart from this forum, it cooks brilliant in a slow cooker

[nsd_user663_59644]

Will be checking that out my lovely. Thanks love food.

Thanks for the store cupboard chickpea soup recipe too Tracey- looks lovely and I have again copied out for my file. :). I make a chickpea and chorizio stew with very similar ingredients and will probably make a batch of the soup too next time I make the stew.

Beer's goat curry recipe is in my file too though I haven't made it yet. Funnily enough, was discussing goat curry with a fellow foodie at work just the other day. I could eat a plateful right now I can tell you.

Mina- glad you're OK and still with us.
