Tonight I went a bit soup mad and cooked two kinds: a mushroom and walnut soup and a carrot and coriander soup. I had the former tonight, but I am keeping the carrot soup for tomorrow.
Mushroom and walnut soup
Part of the reason I cooked two soups is because firstly I wanted to use up the veggies in my fridge and secondly I already had all of the equipment out so I made sense to use it before it all went back into the cupboard. I have one of those kitchens where it takes longer to get out all of the necessary equipment than to do the actual cooking. The lack of surfaces means everything gets into a huge mess before anything gets done! So, it’s official: cooking from scratch can be a real pain, but on the whole the food taste great and I do get a real sense of satisfaction knowing I cooked it all myself, and that I also know exactly what has gone into it.
