Soup day, Celery, Mushroom and Garlic Soup

Celery, mushroom and garlic soup( as per recipe book

Cold day, raining, gloomy. Definitely a soup day. So Mike set to and made this soup with items we had in the fridge and cupboard, It looked okay in the book , had ingredients that we like so what happened? It turned out to be a very lack-luster soup.

For a start it didn't have a good appearance, all important to me. It was more brown-gray looking than in the book. It was watery and as the recipe says, “textured”. I would call it more “bitty” . There was a good taste of celery in it and also the mushrooms were apparent as well but not in a good way. Mike did say he didn't care for it either but he did manage to finish his bowl .I just couldn't. Didn't care for it all all. Mike gave it a 7 but I would only give this a mark of 3.

Just as well we had nice fresh rolls and butter to eat as well and a lovely bottle of Yellow Tail Chardonnay to drink with our meal. Just a delightful fresh wine with an intriguing light yellow hue. I read the label maybe it just does come from “rich tropical fruits with a creamy finish” .On this dreary day nice to picture them anyhow.

P.S. Sally, look how nice your plates are !! Thank You.
