Mushroom soup. Using almost free mushrooms, some over dated veg and a can of mushroom soup, with homemade chicken stock

Chop the following into chunks:
A leek, an onion, whatever carrots you have, a sweet pepper and any mushrooms you have. I was luck enough to have some forest type mushrooms as they where on offer.

Put it all onto an ovan tray and use a bit of oil, some dried herbs and mix. I did add a cheeky dash of smoked paprika, ground nutmeg and and a little onion powder. I did add about a 1/4 teaspoon of tomatoe paste too…

Be aware I'm cooking for someone with oral cancer so soft/puree is heaven for her.

Into the ovan for 45 mins at about 190c, tossed once half way through.

Then all into a large pan to get to a high heat. I poured over some homemade chicken stock and left it all to mingle for 25 minutes. I added a bay leaf first. Then a can of condensed mushroom soup and a few chicken bones from another night's meal.

Once it was all done I put it in the blender (minus the bones) for 10 minutes. While it was on I added some cream (again free for helping out my neighbour as she had left over) and let it blend for another few minutes.

I put it back into a pan to make sure it was hot while I cut a couple of bread rolls. I put some butter in the pan, a halved clove of garlic, black pepper and let the bread toast.

The soup doesn't look great but it does taste good. Not too strong (because mum struggles with anything strong).

    Those veggies alone look like an awesome stir fry! Perhaps another time when your Mom has recovered.
