Soups and Trees

So I am trying this new thing where I cook a new soup every Sunday. Not only does it make the kitchen smell really really good, but I have half my dinners and lunches covered for the week!

First I made Potato-Leek Soup (which was delicious), then Pumpkin Ginger Soup (RIP Fitz the Pumpkin), then last week Chili (this country doesn't have cornmeal to make the necessary companion to a good chili - cornbread, which was disappointing) and I think today will be Vegetable Minestrone.

That and I am scoping out places to buy real Christmas trees in London. My goal is to not have to go on the tube with a 5 foot tall pine tree....
