It was difficult to cook dinner tonight. My heart just wasn't in it. I wanted to be in bed. However, I had a scotch steak in the fridge that needed to be cooked tonight.
I fried the steak and used the pan juices to make a red wine jus with mushrooms. I also made some couscous and stuffed it into a capsicum.

Capsicum stuffed with Couscous
I managed to eat about half before I felt sick. I needed some soup.
- Roughly chop a large fennel bulb, a brown onion and peel several cloves of garlic and roast with a drizzle of olive oil in the oven for about half an hour until they start to brown.
- In a pot, combine 1/2cup milk and 1 1/2cup chicken or vegetable stock. Add the roasted vegetables, season with salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the mixture for about ten minutes and then process the mixture.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and reheat before serving.
I served the soup with some deepfried shallots and a sprig of the fennel that I kept aside earlier. Now this is what you need when you're feeling sick.
