Autumn Soup
Monday, 1 October 2007
I have always been an admirer of Nigella's, both because she has a luscious attitude to the current and tiresome size-zero trend and because we share a love of preparing and eating food. I am particularly impressed by her fearless disregard for measuring, weighing or indeed using any specific ingredients when cooking. Her attitude seems to be 'throw in anything you like, use any amount of this you fancy, and don't worry if you don't have any of that'. This seems a very sensible and liberating approach, for who wishes to spend their time completing an online grocery order whilst cross-referencing every single item with 'Feast' or 'How to be a Domestic Goddess'? Whilst I concede that my cake may not be a complete success if I omit the self-raising flour, I think a bit of relaxed making-it-up-as-you-go-along can have delightful results. So, in the spirit of sharing, here's my new recipe for carrot and apple soup. Ben was initially dubious, but practically licked his bowl clean once he'd sampled the first attempt.
Some carrots
Some apples
A panful of water
A bit of salt
Throw it all in a pan, boil until the carrots and fruit go softish, add more water if necessary and blend until smooth. Serve hot with bread and a glass of red wine. Yum!

I shan't be making the soup, I'm afraid, but was very pleased to note the link to the Traidcraft wine page! xx
