I always had canned soup growing up; mum used to make chicken soup using the bones from whenever we had a roast but that was usually only in winter/after christmas.

Today I had a quick lunch from a shop (cheesey slice, crisps and a drink) and then some pizza for dinner as it was DnD night~

Oooh my grandma used to make a soup we called lumpy soup (literally have no clue what it's actually called) with ham bones she would simmer for like a whole day for the broth for Christmas every year. The last Christmas we had my aunt put canned meat in it because it was meaty enough. I swear I've never seen my Grandma so upset.

Today I had:
Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese (that I forgot about and was cold by the time I ate it)
Lunch: went to a place called Pancheros (which is like Chipotle/Qdoba) and got a burrito bowl.
Supper: very sad pizza. Wasn't feeling like making supper so I made a pizza I had in my freezer. It wasn't good.

Christmas soup!
So many people around here does it, but my mom never was the type. Nor me.
But you us a ton of veggies and a variety of different bones (usually a chicken, some pork and some calf bones). And you make a ton of it.
Because it's supposed to be the light diggestive dish to start a way-too-lavish meal


In Catalunya (another region of Spain) they add a kind of huge pasta to it. I've never really seen it, but apparently it's so traditional.
See a pic if you wish.

I went over my friend's house and she made this alfredo pasta thing with spinach and a type of smoked sausage, it was pretty good.

The one my grandma made was meat and dumplings (but not like chicken and dumplings). My mom made it her way not that long ago (aka she used ready made broth).

Oh those look good. Man I could literally eat soup every day of the week...if it weren't for the fact I'd get to lazy to make it or get sick of canned soup lol

Need to run to the store for carrots for when I make the creamy zucchini soup. I'm thinking maybe parmesan cheese would go with it too. I usually add tortellini to butternut squash soup so maybe I'll try that too? I'll see if the store has any when I go get carrots.

Today I ate:
Breakfast: one piece of leftover sad pizza
Lunch: corn dogs and potato chips (its been a long time I've ate potato chips)
Supper: it was supposed to be stir fry with chicken, broccoli, cabbage, and corn. But my sister made to much sauce and I poured it all in without thinking so it was soupy mixture over rice in the end. Still good.

This conversation is making me want soup lmao

Yesterday I went out for lunch so had poached eggs and avocado on toast. And a giant, I mean GIANT, piece of cake which I couldn't finish so have half of it here at home lol.
For dinner I wasn't really hungry so had a small salad.

Well, guess I'm not making soup this week because my sister actually wants to cook this week and I have at least 3 days worth of leftovers in my fridge. She doesn't like eating leftovers (she's so wasteful imho).

Yesterday I had:

Breakfast: nope
Lunch: chicken meatballs, roasted potatoes, and frozen corn and broccoli because I'm in a clean my freezer mood and had two half empty bags of those.
Supper: leftover "stir fry" (probably the only chance to eat it this week so hopefully it's still good for a lunch this weekend)
I also had a cherry pineapple popsicle for dessert. One of my favorite aldi finds. I hope they still have them the next time I go.

I've had.. some bread with ham, cheese and tomatoes for breakfast. Pretty much the same in the evening and a kebab for lunch because I was too lazy to cook.. and I regret it a little bit.. my stomach is still rumbling

Today we went for dim sum and it was really delicious!
In particular the seafood porridge was amazingly rich and filled with shrimp, scallops, and other goodies!

Ooh I've never had dim sum before but it always look so good

Yesterday I had just bread for breakfast, then a late lunch of leftover Thai coconut chicken over rice, then even later supper of cheese pizza (because my sister forgot to add the pepperoni on it when she ordered it lol).
