I’m not impressed with the slow cooker at all I must say.
I was inside in a mates place the other night and he thre up the grub out of a yoke called a pressure cooker. I have a vague recollection of the mother having one 20 years ago. He said the pressure cooker does in an hour what the slow cooker does in 8
Throw up your stew recipe there. Made a nice chicken honey and ginger dish yesterday .
Set the slow cooker to high. Finely chop onion, celery & garlic, into the slow cooker for a few minutes with a bit of oil.Fresh thyme, sprig of rosemary and a few bay leaves.Then throw in your veg. A couple of spoons of flour and stir it all up. Tin of tomatoes, beef stock and tomatoe puree. Shot of Worcestershire sauce. Then let it cook away on high for 4/5 hours.
I made a fantastic French onion soup from scratch today. It’s a Marcus Wareing recipe that I’ve used a few times. It’ll do me for lunch until Wednesday.
The king of soups.
Beef stew with no beef. Very innovative but I’m not sure it will catch on
It’s called a Cavan Stew.
You’re going to have onion soup four days in a row? 
I also made two loaves of brown bread and a carrot and corriander soup for lunch this week.
I didn’t have it today, just a taste to check. Like a good Stew it’ll improve overnight.
Why the fuck wouldn’t I eat it three days in a row, it’s fucking gorgeous.
Calm down you drama queen.
Eating the same reheated soup for days on end just isn’t for me pal.
i always thought soup was a healthy and low cost lunch option but never felt it would fill me up mate
Good point and may yet come to pass. I’ve never done that before but it’s a bit of a luxury and took a lot of making. I could well become sick of it but I doubt it.
I will be eating other items throughout the workday as well @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy but I appreciate your concern mate.
It must have taken super human will power from you not to chance a bowl today.
You could try making what are known as filler soups if you plan on it being your only lunch time item. I would generally had a sandwich with my soup.
Tried doing something similar with red lentils before but it was gick.
Any recipes for filler soups?
Hiya mate. I sometimes add some rice to my soups which fills me up. I usually add plenty of garlic, chillies and black pepper to my soups so they’re nice and spicy. You can almost pretend you are having a curry for your lunch!
Cheers mate.great idea
Would lots of soup not give you the trots?
Some of these lads would be right at home in the poor house
