I made up a big pot of chunky minestrone for lunch -red onion, leek and carrot sweated in oil, plus some bacon, courgette, garlic, diced potato and about 500ml chicken stock simmered for 20 mins with a handful of orzo added for the last 10 mins. More of a veg stew really than a soup, but really tasty with the leftover pesto stirred in.
We went round to a friend's for a New Year's Eve supper. I made the starter, a bit of a copy of yesterday's bruschetta, but this time as tartlets with sweet onion, squash, goats cheese and toasted walnuts. They ended up being put together in a bit of a rush and could have done with a bit more filling, but they still went down okay.
Followed by some good, warming shepherds pie and plenty of bubbly, we saw in the start of 2012.
