For tonight, I'm doing my colcannon soup again, as a single course meal as I think it will be very filling. And it makes use of leftover ingredients, so it's quite economical with the rations, even while I'm putting evaporated milk (got on points) into it.
The soup is made the usual way from an onion roux made with the evap. This is made up with stock from my stock pot, some oats and some pearl barley (for bulk). In goes 4 chopped raw potatoes, a third of a drumhead cabbage (leftover from the salad) and lots of spring greens[Warning: Wikipedia link containing badly-written drivel] leftover from the previous soup. Cover with more stock and half a pint of milk, then bring to the boil, stirring continuously.
Just before it comes to the boil - and being made with milk it can do so suddenly - the heat goes off entirely and the soup will cook, covered, under its own heat for an hour or so. Drain the broth and reserve, then blend the lumps. Reunited the mush with the broth, being back to heat and serve with crusty brown bread.
In the meantime, I can put my feet up and get ready for tonight's

Happy St. David's Day - hope the rationing allows you to celebrate it with something indulgent.
