Winter – A Perfect Time For This Chicken And Vegetable Soup!

Winter. It’s here. Let me tell you that as I type this up, here in Glasgow, we’re currently being battered by Storm Clodagh and it’s a HOWLING gale outside.

I always have the radio on when I’m in the kitchen cooking and I’m hearing that the snow gates across Scotland are being shut. So, you can see precisely why I’ll be tucking into a bowl of this fresh chicken and vegetable soup today.

In fact the way things are going here, I’ll be tucking into this soup pretty much every day!

You know how Lady Lynne and I headed into Glasgow, as I mentioned in the couscous ratatouille recipe, on Saturday, to pick up a few bits and bobs for our holiday? Well, it was so wet that we decided it was better to come home and get a pizza rather than stay out any longer. We cancelled going out for dinner as we had planned!

We did, however, manage to make it to the Christmas market where we had our traditional annual bratwurst. Whilst standing in the rain. Lol. I feel kind of Christmassy now.
