Soups

There have been some tasty soups in the challenge to this stage, but I freely admit I've made all the easy ones so far... minestrone, chicken & corn, tomato & salami, sweet potato & chickpea, carrot & ginger, broccoli, chicken & risoni ... there are some trickier ones left.

Yesterday I made 'honey roasted parsnip soup' which was very very tasty. I love roasted parsnip and I have my brother in law 'The physicist' to thank for reminding HoM, one Christmas in a hilltop town, that he loves it too.

I shared some with mum too so I'll be interested to hear her views on it.

Most of the soup recipes that are left to cook are outside my comfort zone or have ingredients that require a little more planning - like 'thai ginger and mussel', 'duck & ramen noodle' or 'clam chowder'.

None of them seem too hard I might hasten to add, they are just not ones I have made before or even contemplated. One of the reasons for this whole challenge I guess ;-)

On the menu one night this week is 'salmon & tarragon broth'.

Stay tuned!
