I know I would not like it as well without the textures. Oh… did not blend the soup. I know I would not like it as well without the textures.

I can't have potato but had some of those (African?) yams that look like a sweet potato, but are purple on the outside and creamy with light green dots inside. The barely-sweet yams were perfect in the soup. I also used carrot and the uncured turkey bacon I can get at the health food store (allergy concerns). It was so good, I just went to the store again to buy another bag of frozen green peas. Then I realized I had not reported back to you. I really appreciate the recipe idea. There are so many things I can *not* eat, and many things that don't make me ill are not that yummy. This was totally a winner and will become part of our regular rotation of dinners.

The story is very interesting but I don't think there is an English translation. Yet. The book cover is definitely enticing. Makes me want to pick up the book. ;-) Hi Laurie: Welcome! Yes, I, too, like the idea of incorporating the old handwritten cookbooks into the storyline. As you wrote, it gives even more insight to the character of Hermine. And yes. This soup hit the soup when I ate it. I made it at the right time -- a very cold day.

Olivia had a great idea for including one of these books in her narrative. As for soup -- I don't believe there is a single way to make any soup! If it tasted good and warmed you on a cold winter day, sounds like you made it exactly right!!

Whole, or blended -- two great versions of one soup). And the story sounds very interesting; I'll have to look to see if there's an English translation. What a great book cover! Thanks so much for taking part in our event again. Seeing what other people come up with is so interesting and fun. Hi Paz,
