The Good Soup Company


Today at the shop... our attention was all centred round the 'Big Fridge'. Jostling for position were all five varieties of the Good Soup Company's homemade soup.


This is another local business which started in owner Mike's kitchen in Emley and has now moved into a commercial kitchen in Dewsbury (we think Dewsbury is local enough and it's where I was born). We are anticipating a rush on these soups, as word has got out that, not only are they gluten-free (apart from the Ham Hock one with pearl barley in it), but also some carry ZERO SINS! Carol is inspired now to 'sin up' other items that we stock.


For the uninitiated, to 'sin up' (vb) means to calculate the calorific value of an item of food/drink and convert it into SlimmingWorld currency ('sins'). So, we welcome everyone at the GVG, sinners or otherwise, but if you're looking for great tasting, healthy and warming soups that are 'sin-less', the Good Soup Company soups are here...


And this week's special, the carrot and linseed baguettes, warm from the HandMade Bakery's ovens are perfect with the soup (not yet 'sinned up' though).

If my computer yping lacks  the letter t its because I spil soup on my lapop and at presen if you dont ype hard it doesnt do hem!!


Sorry I have not been able to leave you some Broccoli & Cauliflower soup this week, but the farm they come from have either got too many damaged due to the cold, or they cannot get them out of the field. - They grow close to the M1 / m62 junction at Thorpe  (owned by David Westwood).


I also get my esteema spuds and leeks from them ( for my Leek & Pot soup) so when I was there today he said he had loads of rhubarb picked and could I make soup with that instead!!!


New development mentioned to Helen in the shop this week, we are trialling a new soup with our catering customers - "Pea and Pesto" which came about as I was making  an emergency batch of Minted Pea last friday evening and found I had no Fresh Mint when it came to blending.  I stand at Cleckheaton Farmers Market next to 2 ladies from Brighouse who grow Basil and make Pesto so I had swopped some soup for a jar and blended some in a beaker of the Pea soup mixture with really great results - watch this space for it becoming part of the retail pot size range.!


 


THIS IS MY 1ST EVER BLOG!!!
