Mushroom Mania

This week’s edition of Soup Sunday is an oldie but a goodie. Our Chrysanthemum was flying solo with emotional and chopping support from our resident Sergeant Soup Martyr.

The all important recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4756/cream-of-wild-mushroom-soup

All the sweat (from all the veg), blood (no actual blood was spilled in the making of this Soup Sunday Special) and tears (from those pesky onions) were well worth it though as this week’s concoction was an absolute flavourgasm. Honourable mention must, of course, go to Sergeant Soup Martyr’s fabulous idea of creating a garlic-y accompaniment. A bit crunchy but a well-appreciated add-on nonetheless.

Kitchen Sink Vegetable Soup

So here we are. 2016. Two thousand and SIXTEEN.

After a relaxing Christmas and New Year break, the Soup Sunday Squad was reunited and we bring to you today our first creation of the new year! We like to call it our “Kitchen Sink Soup” because we literally threw in everything we had leftover in that pesky fridge that was probably (maybe) going to go off*

So! We adapted what we had lying around to this recipe from BBC Good Food: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/8029/versatile-veg-soup

What we will say is that it was a vegetable adventure that wasn’t as filling as we wanted it to be. It was tasty, oh yeah, yum yum. But we wanted hella sustenance and this week’s edition didn’t meet our sky high expectations.

Shoutout must go out to our (potentially) delicious duck broth Chrysanthemum and Kian-the-Knight brewed up over the Christmas break. Unfortunately, our super ingredient was thrown out before we had the chance to utilise it :’(

Super Sweet Hamburger Soup

This week’s edition of souptacular showcased hamburger soup as you’ve never seen it before. This soup consisted of a hearty mixture of all things yummy,

The star, however, of the show was undoubtedly the addition of the Super Sweetcorn by the gallant Mr. Soupotage Soupe Soupe. It was pretty super. It begged the question: what was super? Was it super corn? Or super sweet? And what in fact is super... ?

Deep questions here at La Merluche.

This Sunday also marked the initiation of our newest recruit to the Soup Sunday Squad: Guillaume (Mr. Soupotage Soupe Soupe).

Veggie Cheddar Soup

Chelsey’s love of all things rich inspired the search on the iphone app Allrecipes for Veggie Cheddar Soup. The recipe is below. As a result of lack of regular milk, Chelsey added soy vanilla in place of with mixed results.  In future if you enjoy a subtle hint of vanilla we encourage you the use of soy vanilla milk to your hearts content. Although if plain milk suits you have at er
