Try this one - sounds pretty easy!
Ingredients
50g butter
225g Potatoes, peeled and chopped
225g Parsnips, peeled and chopped
175g Onions, chopped
1 pinch freshly ground salt and pepper
850ml chicken or vegetable stock
150ml Milk, or 75ml milk and 75ml cream
225g chorizo sausage, or kabanossi sausage, sliced into rounds, 1/4 cm thick
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low heat over the hob. Chuck the potatoes, parsnips and onions into the pan until coated in butter and season. Cover the vegetables with the saucepan lid and sweat over a gentle heat for 10 minutes.
Add the stock to the vegetables, bring to the boil and continue cooking until the vegetables are all soft (another 5 minutes or so). While the veggies are cooking, fry the chorizo in a splash of olive oil in a frying pan on the hob. Take off when it is crisp, reserving the oil.
When the vegetables are cooked, give the soup a quick whizz with a hand-blender till smooth, stir in the creamy milk and season to taste.
Serve a ladleful of the hot soup in a hot bowl, top with about 6 slices of cooked chorizo and drizzle a little of the oil from the pan over the top. Decorate with a few flat parsley leaves.

I was expecting that from Kirsty!!
Why the 
about soup, MarkEE? It's luvverly stuff, especially any good home-made ones. I used to make a smashing veggie soup which was very filling, but helped to keep off the pounds when I was losing weight. Nice herbs or spices will jolly up any old soup - even a can of Campbell's Tomato goes better with a good splash of sherry in it, some croutons, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, don't you think?

Hope you've been able to sort things out Mark, & it doesn't hurt as much anymore!

......................alright, Dawn, their yours not........
:lol: :lol: I'd forgotten about plumptious Dawn! I've just discovered some very nice, microwaveable egg noodles, which I've been enjoying with a sweet & sour sauce and some diced Pepperami. It's very bad for me, I'm sure, but I am truly not bothered about when cometh the hour - preferably AFTER I've eaten a pile of profiteroles slathered with chocolate sauce, if there is ANY natural justice in this world! I bet Dawny feels just the same. (Well, actually, I bet she does feel just the same - large, and somewhat squishy in places... )
