It's still cold here in Mullion .
We had quite a hard frost yesterday .
Not as heavy a frost as you might have further up country . Only the second time this winter that I've seen my garden as sparkly as this .
My Leeks and kale look o.k. still .
The fields look pretty frozen .
Not much I can do in the garden today if I wanted to. I brought in the wood and lit the fire .
Just sat here on the floor watching the flames dance for a while .
Wash hands . Tie on my apron . Make breakfast . Make soup .
This is the famous Tik Tok Justin Schuble Quinoa Veggie Soup .

I tried to share the link , but it didn't work .Sorry ! Look it up and watch his brilliant video .
This is the second batch I have made . It is delicious ! This batch I am freezing away for another day .
The rotisserie chicken was amazing stirred into it !
I'm freezing it without the roast chicken in it , with a view to maybe changing it up and having salmon with it next time .
I left out the quinoa and the crushed red pepper flakes . You just adjust it to your taste .
We had this with some beautiful buttered granary bread and it was divine !
This is a very nutritious and hearty , meal in itself kind of a soup .
Just the thing to warm you up on a cold day like today .
After lunch we took our walk along the cliffs .
Hello! I love that you sat by the fire and watched it. We don't do that enough it seems. Thank you for the soup recipe! I am saving it for certain. Have a cozy evening.
ReplyDeleteHello Billie Jo 💐Yes and I find myself thinking deeply about things , sitting looking into the flames . The soup is really good , you can change it to how you like it . Chilli does not like me and the quinoa was not for me , but others liked it 😊🦋 x
