It’s soup weather here in Melbourne Australia as we move into winter, and I’d previously noticed but forgotten that the tomato soup recipe in MCP has similar ingredients to a family favourite ‘Nicoletta’s soup’ we have that involves roasting the vegetables first (and of course the cleaning of said roasting pans!) My daughter has a friend coming for lunch who is vegan and requested Nicoletta’s soup so I adapted it to your method in MCP and used EVOO instead of butter. Fabulous, creamy, full of flavour and no extra dishes, a true one pot wonder!! No butter needed.
Also, I actually used plain water as my veg stock container was empty but I figured the water content of the veg would remain in the dish, being pressure cooked as opposed to the roasting method I previously used- just added some extra herbs and salt and pepper and no issues!
Thank you as ever and I hope your family are well again soon.
The cake looks delicious Catherine and I love the pretty green and gold plate you put it on. I have some coffee cups in this pattern which belonged to my husband’s mother who I never knew.
My children are huge fans of the buttery tomato soup in MPC. They request it all the time, and we sometimes take it in a flask when we go for a picnic.
Ooh, I was just wondering if you had a recipe for polenta cake the other day 😂 I will have to try this once I get more polenta.
Catherine perfect timing on this article!

Mine came from an antique shop in Holt, Norfolk! I’m very fond of them.
Ohh nice idea to dip them in coffee. I usually stuff then into my face as I leave the shop… love that place

Thank you for sharing! We take it on cold day picnics too!
Those pretzels in Bageriet… my utter favourite. Even more so than their Semla buns😍
Me too! I really love them stale too, for dipping in coffee.
Hope you all feel better soon – sounds ROUGH (especially at A levels time).
Thanks Karen. I think I am throwing it off and Lilly seems no way near as bad as Adam and Shariq. This in no way surprises me!
