Birthday Soup!
With it being the day of birth of one of our Soup Sunday regulars, our Sunday soup birthday party featured the request of the birthday girl’s favourite soup: LEEK AND POTATO. But this was no ordinary leek and potato soup. OH no. This rendition of the cult classic included less cream and more veg - a risk that was well worth taking.
This healthy and wholesome liquid goodness proved to be a potential mantra of our Soup Sunday gatherings. With expectations high, Kian-the-Knight tackled this challenge as a brave knight should and low and behold his blood, sweat and tears paid off in the best possible way: a happy birthday girl.
An honourable mention must go to the roasted brussel sprouts done by the one and only Soupotage Soup Soup. And after the soup came the cake. Three in fact. One for all (and all for one). The classic fairy cakes (vanilla and chocolate because we couldn’t decide which flavour to bake) with beautifully creative and artistic icing by our resident Sergeant Soup Martyr, vegan brownies that were practically healthy, and finally the leftovers of an extremely scrummy Nutella cheesecake *Drools* The food was (Taylor) swiftly followed by the bants. A collection of the worst sets of wordplay one could possibly endure in one evening.
So, another Soup Sunday success and another year older for our Chrysanthemum, who is blooming into a fine soup maker along with her fellow soup enthusiasts. Let’s hope the coming year will be full of more delicious vegetable potions.
