Beautiful picture of the soup! Makes me hungry just looking at it! In fact, I plan on making it in the next week or so~
ReplyDeleteYour soup also turned out so smooth looking! (you probably blended it in your vita-mix, right?) I just stuck mine in the cuisinart XD
Yup. One of the few things that sounded good for days.
ReplyDeletehas some zing to it. I actually thought that there had to be radish in it because of that.. Shame it was green though... Brett was afraid to try it. So strange, because he is usually more adventurous with food than I am.
Hi Char - Carrisa's version was green was it? Hmmm - Did she chop up the green part of the leeks maybe? My Winter Root Soup was a creamy carrot color.
