But this is the time your body needs goodness, a little heat and nourishment, in an easy to consume bowlful.Nigella saves the day!
Sweetcorn Chowder with Cheese Toasted Tortillas! (click the title and the Lovely Nigella will take care of directions!)
I love sweetcorn! One of my favourite veg dishes (that I serve with chilli con carne ALOT!) is sweetcorn, with a large dollop of butter and a VERY generous grinding of black pepper. I don't know why (being just a 'cook') but black pepper and sweetcorn is one of those perfect food marriages! Try it! You will love me when you eat it, I promise!
So easy just wack it all in and blend up!If you don't have semolina or cornmeal or grainy polenta, (I got this lovely cornmeal from Sainsburys.....I make cornbread for chilli with it too, it is all round useful stuff to have in your 'tins' cupboard!)
I imagine, lentils or a roughly chopped potato would be just as good, (not as Mexican but a functioning thickener just the same.....needs must when man flu hits eh?!)Right am off to couch to 'suffer',
drink tea and eat the Quality Street
that Mr B 'foresaw' wouldn't last out October!

a) i love you anyways, without eating corn and black pepper to prove it.
b) i think we are all suffering after the weekend huh? Sore throats here.
c) YUM!
oooh i like the sound and look of that soup - yummy!!
I think I need to practise this a lot. I'm not feeling poorly, yet, but flu jab letters arrived for small boys this morning, and I may be in need of much fortification by the end of it!
