The water table is very full at the moment and raised beds definitely improve the drainage. I am in my early sixties and gardening at knee and waist height makes life easier for me.
I chopped and sweated the leeks and potatoes in a pan with some butter on top of the gas stove. I blackened the pan in the process. 😄
I poured in some water and broke up a stock cube and waited to bring it to the boil.
The soup. I could of liquidised it but I don't mind lumpy veg soup. I really must get into learning how to prepare and cook food. It's not easy when your wife did everything for you for the last thirty years. I just grew the vegetables and tended the plot.

The leeks are our home grown, organic vegetables and the potatoes and soda bread came from Lidl.
I think if I had added some meat like minced beef. It would make a good stew or broth. It was a good warm and hearty mel on a cold winter's day.
Any one else growing veg and making their own soup?
