Pond Scum Soup ... and Halloween Decorations

 

We give our food some good names don't we.

What with Compost Heap Jelly and now Pond Scum Soup we are inventing a whole 'rubbish' way of eating ... and we love it.  😄

Of course I am only joking, this particular rubbish soup, although looking exactly like pond scum once it was whizzed up, was full of lots of good stuff.  I used up a lot of the trimmings from my fridge, and almost everything that was left over from the last Riverford box in preparation for the new box arriving on Wednesday.  Then I added some of the outer red cabbage leaves from a cabbage I hadn't yet started.

So with the cauliflower leaves, stem and trimmings, the greenest bits left from the leeks, the dark Cavolo Nero and the red cabbage leaves it was always going to come out looking very dark and very green.

It also tasted very good, and very healthy.

I served my portion with a bit of bread and butter for lunch on Saturday and really enjoyed it.  Alan had a portion for his tea  last night alongside a cheese sandwich, and the two portions in the jars are still in my fridge, I'll have them for lunch a couple of days this week.

Oh, and my only Halloween or maybe Autumn decorations are these two lovely little pumpkins that I was tempted into buying in Aldi on Friday.  These two will be a lovely bowl of soup when their time comes ... or when I get fed up of them on the worktop.  😁
