Last week at work was all quite exhilarating lets say and I am now moving departments to hopefully a more manageable job in the hours I work (9 till 3). My friend is also moving departments which means our food banter on a daily basis will no doubt come to an end. What a shame!! The good news is that she brought a recipe in anyway and said it was the best thing she had cooked and tasted in a very long time.

With that as a recommendation I had no choice but to cook it at the weekend. Fish and Chorizo Soup (well, more of a stew by the time I had added a few new potatoes and extra seafood!). It was completely up to all she had cracked it to be - completely tasty, comforting, different and was even better the next day when we had the remainder for dinner. The kids enjoyed it even though I had added a little extra chili as I couldn't get hold of any really spicy chorizo.

Serve with good crusty bread and butter and a good sauvignon blanc.

I have to mention that although I got it on a scrappy piece of paper I believe via Chinese whispers it needs to be attributed to the legendary Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - one of my all time heroes. Thank you Hugh. I hope you don't mind me spreading the word!
