Love the kitchen even though it’s not really finished yet. Love the green and cream.

[@lkhawkins4482]

The kitchen looks fantastic, Charlie! I know you are so happy to get back in there!

[@tarasnedden806]

I was picturing Coco off camera waiting for her soup - looked delicious!

[@patmartin9727]

Will be trying the soup. Love soup at this time of the year.

[@kateincheshire]

That soup looks scrummy and will be on our meal plan for next week

The kitchen looks superb, well worth the wait. Your tip about using hummus in the soup has really got me excited; will be trying that out as soon as possible. Many thanks.

Thanks for the soup recipe -- delicious! I have had an electric dual control for 3 years now. It is my first AGA (they are not so common in the US) and it is brilliant. It has made my life easier and tastier. One tip I was given that I would like to pass on, is with the dual control make sure your towel never hangs over the top left control panel oven. The heat gets trapped between your tea towel and the door and over time will melt off the AGA badge. This won't effect the performance but it is not an attractive look!

Love that you are back in the kitchen! Looking forward to more yummy recipes xx

[@sarahd4176]

I have never heard of putting hummus in soup - I think I am going to have to try your recipe. So pleased to see you enjoying your new kitchen. The green colour is so gorgeous.

Oh the joys of a range cooker, whether its Everhot, Aga, or Rayburn! Really helps to make a house a home and makes the kitchen so cosy. Wouldnt be without ours ( its an electric Everhot and only needs a three pin plug so will take with us when we move). Great soup recipe and demo thanks. Kitchen shaping up nicely

[@AncoraImparo12387]

Love the new kitchen and Aga! Soup looks yummy!

[@davidsanderson4442]

Your kitchen is lovely, getting better and better as the weeks go by. I got my dual control from Range Exchange too and they were fantastic. Charlotte was so helpful and knowledgeable and the fitters were on time, polite and cleaned up after themselves! This recipe looks delicious! Thanks Charlie.

Loving your new kitchen. I have been making soup today too. I’ll make your yummy soup too another day. I love making different soups in the Autumn/🍂winter 🧡xx

Hi Charlie, what wonderful soup! please could you do a vlog on portion sizes in particular children's meals.

[@marymorgan6943]

I make tomato soup and I always have lots of hummus - either bought or homemade, but I have never thought of putting the two together. Will do so from now on - thanks for the brilliant tip.

[@teresabrown836]

Hello Charlie, soup looks good , and the kitchen is coming together, thank you for sharing 🎉. ❤x

[@strll3048]

[@lkhawkins4482]

The soup looks delicious! I love your batch cooking course! I definitely recommend it.

[@dawnellis451]

Hi charlie I've just found your channel and really enjoy your chanel.. what an amazing job your doing to make it a lovely home and look forward to many more youtube from you take care Dawn xx

[@patmartin9727]

When rinsing tins I close the lid before shaking so it cleans the lid as well. Hate to waste even that little bit.

[@katie7382]

Thanks Charlie 🧡 I’m definitely going to make this delicious soup xxx

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@patriciawheeler2480]

What a super sourdough thank you 😘

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

Years ago Mary Berry was Editor of a magazine called Home and Freezer digest…we all cooked and froze meals….Christmas was prepared in October and frozen,…we have lost all this now…it’s all ready meals.

[@carolwatts-yi6do]

Thank you Charlie , will def try the soup it looks delicious. I picked up on the fact that you put the Moussaka in the warming oven to defrost , is this something you can do with most recipes ? I need to batch cook more and utilise the freezer so any tips would be greatly appreciated 🥰

[@sarahwalker3893]

100% going to try this soup at the weekend have you shared anywhere the mince dish you mentioned Coco was asking for a few weeks ago? Also popping on House of Bruar to look for your cardi 😊

[@justineallen7047]

That soup looks yummy! Could I make it in a soup maker?

[@ask.charlie]

Absolutely!

[@Southwesternlassie82]

Just a tip for anyone watching. Extra virgin olive oil is really only to be used in salad dressings or dipping with bread etc. Don’t waste it in cooking as you simply lose the taste - just use regular olive oil, it’s a lot LOT cheaper to cook with.

[@Mirth-l7l]

Im in shock . You take the vegetables from the paper bag to the tray without washing them. Or do we not see it in the video 😮

[@ask.charlie]

No no they were washed I edit out the boring parts!

[@Mirth-l7l]

I´m sorry, you are always so clean and organised when you cook that it surprised me. Great cooking video as always. Beautiful new kitchen by the way.
