If you know me at all, you're going to guess, correctly, that the color of this soup caught my attention. You can find the recipe here, with Karina's lovely photo.
My bowl is not decked out, mostly because once I pureed the soup, I really wanted to drink some now. I think the garnishing possibilities are myriad...and when I have my own café some day, I'll garnish away :-)
This soup is really good. It is comforting and refreshing at the same time...a delightful combination. Once the chopping is done, it is quick to put together. (I found the chopping time to be perfectly meditative.)
I used my homemade chicken stock rather than veggie broth because I had my stock on hand. I suppose it would be lighter with vegetable stock.
I left out the chickpeas. Partly because I loved the texture of the soup as it was and partly because I had eaten quite a bit of the garlicky chickpea dip today and didn't want any more chickpea coming into my body.
I am curious to see what the kids think of this.
I was happy to be able to use one of my favorite kitchen tools, my handheld immersion blender.
I made this soup in the hopes that it will make my transition to Dragon's Way food a happier, smoother one, this week. It is very DW-friendly though it contains some ingredients off-list.
I truly think it will help.
matchy-matchy :-)
