That way the heat travels up and down the body quickly. @Dorothy - Stay well an enjoy the soup making. @Colleen - Welcome on board and thank you for your soup idea. @Gary - Liquidisers are wonderful for easing cooking chores and for hoodwinking faddish children to eat. Thanks for the tips! @Micha - The best place for a hot water bottle is between your thighs. That way the heat travels up and down the body quickly.

I always chuck a few chilli seeds in the mix before liquidising too, makes a really nice warming soup on a cold winters night - and it gets stronger the longer you leave it :) We’ve been liquidising vegetables for soup since christmas - parsnip and sweet potato are favourites in the house and I still can’t get my kids to eat them unless they are in a soup !

Except for today, the weather's been in the Arctic vein here in Toronto as well. When I think of it, I take all my root veggies (parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, etc) and roast them with garlic and rosemary and then blend them with stock, milk, salt and pepper. Also good for days like these. Thanks for the parsnip soup idea - I don’t know why I haven’t been making root soup all winter long.

I added some garlic and a little grated nutmeg for extra flavour..nom nom! Perfect for the night that's in it. Don't know how Baino can think about soup with all the hot weather she's having! Grannymar,
