Chorizo and pearl barley soup

This is the perfect soup to warm you up, fill you with goodness and is so easy to make, as it is so filling you can have this for a winter tea with warm crusty bread.

I used ASDA pearl barley which is 65p for a 500g bag, chorizo sausage which was £2.50 and the chopped tomatoes at 65p a tin. An inexpensive family meal under £5 or a weeks worth of lunches for 1 person.

This recipe will make up 6 generous bowls.

Ingredients

75g of diced chorizo

1 large white onion finely chopped

2 large carrots

2 celery stalks

2 cloves of garlic crushed

150g of pearl barley

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

1 tbsp harissa paste

1 tbsp turmeric

1 litre of vegetable stock

Method

Heat up some olive oil in a large pan and fry off the chorizo until it starts to look crispy. Add in the diced onion, celery and carrot and soften.

Add in the harissa paste and the turmeric, stir and fry for a few more minutes. Add in the 1 litre of stock, the pearl barley and tin of tomatoes. simmer for 30 minutes as this soup gets quite thick add in more boiled water if needed.

Part blend when you are happy with the consistency and serve.

Thanks for all your positivity! One of my followers-messaged me earlier to say my Mini May Challenge is a waste of time — that it’s stuff people should be doing all the time, and that the whole thing is “worthless and belittling.”But then… I opened a few more messages.And wow — so many of you are loving it, finding it helpful, and telling me it’s making a real difference. For every one negative message, there are so many kind, thoughtful ones that remind me exactly why I do this.So thank you. Truly. You make that one message not matter at all 💖💖 ... See MoreSee Less

🚽✨ It’s Toilet Tuesday! ✨🚽Let’s talk toilets—because no one likes a pongy pan, right?Want a loo that stays fresh with barely any effort? Here’s how I do it:✅ Vinegar Magic – Pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bowl once a week and leave it to do its thing. One hour is good, overnight is fabulous. It melts away mineral gunk like a dream!✅ Call in Reinforcements – If vinegar’s not cutting it, grab a good acidic toilet cleaner. Let it sit (no rushing!) before giving it a good scrub. Hello, sparkling bowl!✅ Let It Breathe – After your shower, crack a window or run the extractor fan. Less humidity = less mould = a happier bathroom!You can find all my Toilet Tuesday Favs here ⬇️amzn.to/4mta2s4. (Aff link) ... See MoreSee Less

🌙The overnight Laundry Trend 🌙There’s a new trend floating around right now… people hanging out their laundry at around 8PM and leaving it to dry overnight. And if you’re super busy and juggling a million things, I completely understand the appeal – evenings are sometimes the only quiet time we get!BUT – let’s talk laundry science for a sec. 🧺Why it doesn’t quite work: Unless the temperature stays above 10°C overnight and there’s a decent breeze, your clothes are unlikely to dry properly. Once the sun sets, the air holds more moisture (dew!), and humidity rises – especially in spring and summer evenings. That damp air can actually make your clothes feel wetter by morning. 😬🦠 Plus: Wet clothes left damp in cooler, still air can start to smell musty and might even become a breeding ground for bacteria. Not ideal when you've just gone to the effort of washing them!🧺 Better idea?If you're short on time:Hang laundry early in the morning for maximum sunlight hours ☀️This may mean getting up a little earlier.Use an airer indoors with good airflow and a dehumidifierOr set a timer to remind you to hang it before dinnerBonus hack: spin your laundry for an extra cycle to remove more water firstAre you team morning, midday, or late-night laundry? 👇#laundrytips #dryinghacks #queenofclean #laundrytrend #LifeHacks #washingwisely ...
