There's a definite nip in the air nowadays. Even down here on the south coast where Christmas comes with the first daffodils...
We made a batch of vegetable soup with whatever was to hand: two carrots, onion, celery, rasher of bacon and flageolet beans for extra flavour. Threw in a solitary spud for bulk. A quick whizz with the stick blender and we had a satisfying bowl of goodness to keep out the cold.
But, on testing after two hours, I was 7.1. (This wasn't actually the first time this has happened, and I usually have to go for a good walk -in the cold- to bring down my sugar).
Is it the quarter potato? The half carrot? Is it the process of breaking down the veg? Adding lentils instead of beans has the same effect. Surely this can't be another thing I can't eat!! Does anyone else suffer with soup?
