Day 214: Winter Vegetable Soup
Hungry friends scraped to the bottoms of big bowls of this vegetable-creamed soup tonight. Especially since it was an Indian Summer 70 degrees outside, that's a good sign! That said, the color isn't so appetizing, more brown than gold, more flat than creamy. And it's a make-ahead soup, one where a day's rest is needed for the flavors to meld. All this sounds as if I didn't like it -- I did! It's just not one I'll likely make again, it wasn't that 'special', except that it DID use up lots of leftovers! Still, the substitutions weren't so far off that it couldn't be reproduced on another night in another kitchen.
