Okay, so I think I am just barely (barely!) making it in time with this week’s French Friday’s with Dorie — Spur of the Moment Vegetable Soup. I made mine with carrots, onion, sweet potato and plenty of garlic (along with the rosemary and ginger). I liked it, but kind of felt it needed…something. It was a good soup for alongside a sandwich, but not really the star of it’s own show, you know?
Here’s a link to everyone’s posts and my photos below.
Beautiful Oregon-grown carrots!
Red onion, carrots, sweet potato, ginger, garlic, rosemary all in the pot.
Blending in batches. It turned out quite creamy.
That’s a really neat spoon in the first picture and such a cheery color on your soup.
I agree – this soup did benefit by having having something to eat along with it. (Grilled cheese, croutons with cheese and run under the broiler, etc)
Lovely soup, this seemed to be a winner with many. I will definitely try this one again with other
ingredients.
I like your use of red onions with the carrots. very smoooooth soup!
Your soup (pre-blending) is so colorful! I like your green garnish. I agree that this is a good, but needs something to with in. I made cheese quesadillas.
Mmmh… I thought about using sweet potato too, but decided to save it for this week’s tagine.
I like to make the soup party creamy and part chunky because I feel like totally creamy soups are delicious but I dont feel “full” after and its perfect to start a meal too 🙂 We have been eating this for awhile!
Although your first picture was very, very pretty, I do agree that this soup needed to be spiced up a bit. I created my own version but will add more dash and flash when I clean out my fridge next time.
