Saturday soup
Saturday soup is begot from all the not- fresh-any-more veges (which is a lot) getting hot in a pot before they rot to be got done on the dot to make a spot for all the fresh veges to be bought tomorrow at the Sunday markot
Saturday soup is a life hack that most old people know well. It’s intuitive. We need Saturday soup, we know perfectly well how to make Saturday soup: old people do not need anyone to tell them how to do it. (Mixed fresh vegetables, water, salt, other flavours if you want them, handy grains and pulses, optional beef or chicken stock. Just chop and cook.)
I love Saturday soup. Don’t you? It deserves its own illustrious elegy with multi-syllabic words and Homeric similes. But this will have to do.
Yep, Saturday soup and also Saturday morning “creative” omlets.
Aha, I call them frittatta…
I loved your lyrical words about Saturday soup. Had to look up pulses — never heard power-packed beans being called pulses. Is that a word you’ve known all your life??
For several decades. Peas and beans?
I hope to remember to ask others here if they know what pulses are.
Let me know!
I enjoy Saturday frittatas.
Yum!
Saturday stir-fry is going down in this household today.
Oh yes, that also does the trick
We don’t have soup here on a Saturday, but I do make cheese and tomatoes on toast for teatime. 🙂 And we’ll sometimes make a ‘cupboard meal’ for dinner using beans and/or soup with pasta. 🙂 If we *really* need a soup (on a cold day), we’ll usually combine tinned soup with tinned or frozen veg to make it both hot and filling.
A cupboard meal: I like that phrase.
My pulse is racing at the thought of delicious soup!
Roaring out of the cupboard — now it’s leading by a neck — and the winner is–
When my children were growing up we had cleaning out the fridge soup every Saturday. I should start that again to use up the vegetables that are past their best. Love the poem.
It’s sort of instinctive I think. Thanks Judith
I think we are more likely to have it as “Sunday Supper.” At least it is still alliterative!
And yummy
