3 Simple Soups

Tried 3 simple soups this week.

Potato Leak Soup with Fennel and Watercress:

Very good soup and simple to make.

It took me about 1hr to make... but lots of free time in between to do my vacation laundary!

Tastes very good... no exotic ingredients... very good soup

Taste of the soup is very good for the effort that went in. Definitely will make it again...

Carrot Soup with Orange and Ginger:

OK soup. The taste grows on you. Again this is an easy soup to make. Took me less than 1hr to make. I would strongly recommend that you try the recommended option which is to fry the garlic... tastes good.

I typically do not like carrots... I do not think it belongs to the veg category (I am dreading the broccoli soup... ). So I reluctantly made this soup... But the taste was not so bad. The zing of ginger helps.. The fried ginger garnish adds a very interesting mix.

So bottom line ok to make it once.... definitely will not be made by me (unless I start to love carrots ... no way doc :-))

Cauliflower Soup

Very easy soup to make. Took me less than 30min. It is also a very heavy soup... cauliflower + cheddar cheese :-)

Only thing is the blue cheese crumbles that I put as garnish... not so good smell and taste and I have a lot of it still left over... any blue cheese lovers?

The soup itself is very simple to make and taste. Nothing out of this world but not a bad thing to make if one has a lot of cauliflower at home and you just had upkari already (Upkari - Konkani word for dry stir fry).

So I end this week with 2 OK soups and 1 wonderful tasting soup. More of the simple soups next week.
