Soup II

Following on from Soup #1

Yes I know it's dull. But in blip terms it was a plastic flower day, or almost. The joke is that it's a beautiful day out there, in the world, but I've a work spurt on and am glued to the laptop. It was either this what-I-had-for-lunch blip, or a blip about writing the caption to the blip about soup, which in that case wouldn't have been a blip about soup at all and so another explanation would have been required

like THIS...

So, before this whole exercise disappears up its own post-modernist fundament, here's a recipe for easy spicy mushroom soup:

Easy Spicy Mushroom Soup

A medium sized punnet of mushrooms (any type, I use white)
A tray of four flat open mushrooms, the big ones
An onion

Chop and soften the onion in some olive oil and butter
After 5 mins or so, add the mushrooms chopped up small
Add a generous sprinkling of dried thyme and paprika, and stir in.
Leave to sweat for 5 mins with lid on.
Now add about a pint of stock of some kind - I use chicken
Simmer half an hour or so.
Whizz well. Return to pan.
Add half a small pot of dbl cream or milk and hot water if you like it thinner
Reheat. I finish it with a good shake of Worcester sauce and some tabasco.
