    Ooh yeah I'll give it a go! I'm also really fussy but like experimenting so if there's an ingredient in the recipe I don't like then I'll just change it for something that I do like if thats ok?

    Ok, so this weeks recipe is a winter warming soup with basil dumplings...thought I'd put an easy one to start with but one that is loved by many...

    Soup:
    Ingredients:
    Shallots (Any onion would do)
    Swede (peeled and diced)
    Carrots (peeled and chopped)
    Parsnips (peeled and chopped)
    Leeks (trimmed and sliced to thick chunks)
    1 tin Canned butter beans (drained and rinsed)
    1 tbspoon of tomato puree
    1 tin chopped tomatoes
    1 tsp dried mix herbs (can be substituted by fresh if you have time and prefer)
    1 stock cube (chicken or veg, depending on preference)

    Making the soup:
    Boil water in a big pan...add all the veg, stock cube, herbs, beans, and tomato puree

    Simmer for 30 mins or until the veg is cooked through and beans are soft

    You can either get a hand held blender out and give it a wizz to liquify it and have a thick soup, or you can have it as a stew...either way it is packed with they healthy stuff!

    Dumplings:
    Ingredients:
    100g self-raising flour
    100g shredded suet
    100g fresh breadcrumbs
    30g butter
    2 shallots, diced
    1 clove of garlic
    1-2 tbsp basil
    2 eggs, beaten

    Making the dumplings!
    1. Combine the flour, suet and breadcrumbs in a mixing bowl.

    2. Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan and sweat the shallot until soft, then add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Add this mixture to the mixing bowl with the chopped basil and mix well.

    3. Stir in the eggs to bind the mixture, then roll into balls about the size of small onions.

    5. Add the dumplings to the soup and cook for 25-35 minutes, depending on the thickness of the dumplings.

    ENJOY!!!! Later I will post some "extra's if you have time and fancy doing them" bits

    Don't forget to take a pic of your creations and post them on here!

    OK, so I have to admit, though I did make it this evening, I forgot to take a pic! I was so hungry and so desperate to get in to watch corrie I forgot to take the chuffing picture!!!

    However, I added a bit of curry powder and paprika to it to give it a lil something extra, which was AMAZING. I loved it and the dumplings were fantastic too!

    I want some more now :(

    Think next time I wouldn#t put the tomato in, but it was nice, different. Didn't whizz the hand whizzer in either cos I fancied it chunky but might give it a smoother texture next time...might even put a creamy whirl in it too...damn now I want to go to the farmers market and get more veg to make it all again!!!

    How is everyone else fairing up with it? I'm planning the rest of the months conquests too! Including xmas nibbles and canape recipes, and some new year ideas too...

    Any requests or recipe's you would like us to try, just PM me and I'll get them on the calendar!
