I haven’t been keeping upto date with making notes on the recipes so this is an old post really.
I first trying the Carrot and Cumin soup from the New Covent Garden: A Soup for Every day a few weeks ago. Very nice although hotter than anticipated (slightly too spicy for Aidan although good for the rest of us). Made the soup again recently and reduced the amount of hot paprika, also used cream instead of milk as I had cream to use and the soup wasn’t as nice. So definitely back to original recipe for next time I make carrot soup.
Had a request from the boys that I try a meat soup next time!
