Recipe Review

I feel a little sheepish reviewing this recipe and giving it such a low score, as I did make a few omissions. However I also think the recipe is a bit problematic.

My first concern was that the ingredients were simply thrown into water - no browning to develop the flavors. I forgot to buy the leek, and so used a regular onion, but I don't think the leek could have saved the recipe. I also discovered that my kale had frozen in our current cold temperatures, and so omitted that. But as my kids point out, the kale perhaps would only have made the soup worse.

We kept adding more salt, a bit of acid, more thyme, but it was insipid.

Yes, its important to write the bad ones, isn't it?

We ate it, boring as it was. There were a lot of after-dinner snacks, though! I hate wasting food. Perhaps the leftovers will be solidified by rolled oats and given to the chickens.

It's always tough to write a negative comment but, without them, cookbooker wouldn't be very useful.

Sorry your soup didn't work out. Did you have a back up plan?
