Sounds yummy!

The recipe I made first was very similar. They didn't suggest frying the chorizo. DH however always fries chorizo first and it is lovely like that. The first recipe had cream in it, but I didn't realise that dh used up the cream in his last recipe and I thought there was some left.

I have to do some more thinking about the menu today.

The soup didn't turn out. The only cans of pea and ham soup the shop had were ready to serve ones. They wouldn't go far for 7 people. I think I will have brussel sprouts and speck or something like that, since I have some in the freezer. I have a recipe somewhere as well. I think I am collecting up a few plan B's lol.
