Curried vegetable soup for lunch, then, as the bastard boys have eaten all my ham. (Actually there would probably have been soup for lunch anyway, only with fried ham croutons, but I'm not telling them that.)
Couple of parsnips, couple of carrots and a leek, all sliced and simmering in incidental lamb stock. With a single brussels sprout, that I found lurking at the bottom of the bag. That'll make all the difference, 'spect.
It's good to have a veggie bag. And sourdough.
ETA: I was just frying up an onion and ginger and garlic for the curried element, and thinking about spices, and reaching automatically for the chillies - and stopped. Realised I actually didn't want chillies in it. When I make curried soup, turns out I want the curry-taste from my childhood, which means just a couple of spoonsful of curry powder. Which I keep pretty much for this purpose only, bar an occasional shake into a wokful of noodles.
