I'm a bit crap at sharing recipes, as I make up recipes and amounts as I go along 
This is a nice, healthy soup.
Potato and sweetcorn chowder
1 medium onion
4 medium white potatoes
2 stock cubes
tin of creamed corn
semi skimmed milk
(I use a cast iron soup pot for my soups which I think makes it taste better, but who knows!)
* Finely chop onions, and cube potatoes
* Make up stock in measuring jug (I do one stock cube per pint)
* Heat a little oil in a saucepan and add the finely chopped onions. Allow onions to soften (not brown)
* Add potatoes and add enough stock to just cover potatoes.
* Allow to simmer on a low heat until stock is reduced. (This is important. If you just add loads of stock it will ruin the soup. You need to reduce it all down)
* Keep adding and reducing stock until the potatoes are softened and a desired consistency is reached. (I like my chowder thick)
* Add in one can of creamed corn, and a splash of milk
* Salt and pepper to taste
This is a sinful, yet very delicious soup!
Extra Thick Stick Ta Yer Ribs Tattie Soup
Ingredients:
* Mashed potato (about 4 large potatoes worth. To save time you can always use the ready made mash from supermarkets)
* 1 medium onion
* 2 stock cubes (whatever are your favorite, I like vegetable)
* boiling water
* milk
* single cream (not necessary, but yum!)
* plain flour
* salt, pepper and herbs to taste
* Take a deep pot and fry the onions in a little veg oil or butter. You want to stir this continually as the aim is to soften the onions, not brown them!
* Add boiling water and two stock cubes to pot. Not too much as you'll be adding milk and cream later. About an inch and a half over the onions and stock cubes.
* Once stock cubes are dissolved, stir in mash milk and cream.
* Put onto a lower heat and let simmer. Then blitz in a food processor or with a hand blender. To make the soup thicker, add flour. To make it thinner add more cream or milk.
* Season as you like with black pepper, salt and herbs. I used dried mixed herbs (rosemary, basil, thyme)

Tonks they sound delicious!
I roast a tray of tomatoes, red peppers, onions and garlic and then whizz them up into some chicken stock - really nice too!
