There’s been a lot of soup about this week. There’s been a lot of many things to be fair, but I happen to have a photograph of the soup and photographs are important for blogs.
It isn’t the greatest picture of soup: I clearly need to work on the presentation. I had intended to take a better one today with a swirl of cream and some chopped herbs but I forgot the cream and nobody wanted any chopped herbs.
We had someone renting the main room for a couple of days and they asked if we could do lunches. Soup seemed a good idea, being warm, nourishing and within budget. What, as they say, could possibly go wrong?
Well, on the first day it turned out that three of the six attendees didn’t like soup. Unfortunately I didn’t find out until I had made the soup for the second day.
On the second day it turned out that we had two untouched bowls and one half eaten (or drunk?) bowl. Progress indeed.
I would offer you the recipes but with that sort of success rate it probably isn’t worth your time. If you want a couple of imprecise recipes for Carrot and Parsnip soup or Pea Soup feel free to ask.
