Since we just had St. Patrick's Day this week and our I Heart Cooking Clubs theme was "Eat Your Green(s), I thought I'd do a little Souper Sundays recap of some favorite green soups or soups featuring greens or green ingredients from some of the 21 chefs we have cooked along with.
Yotam Ottolenghi's Herb, Chard and Feta Soup is one of my all-time favorites, full of glorious green-herby flavor.
Mark Bittman's Creamy Spinach Soup is easy, quick and really tasty.
Nigel Slater's Easy Summer Miso Broth with Greens is that light and simple soup you want when the weather is warm. The lemongrass paste makes the soup in this one.
Nigella Lawson's Green Curry Spinach and Coconut Soup with Grilled Shrimp is pleasantly spicy and really delicious with the grilled shrimp.
Julia Child's Hot or Cold Cream of Cucumber Soup is refreshing and tasty with tarragon and dill and good no matter what temperature you eat it at.
Rick Bayless's Emerald Corn Chowder with Roasted Tomatillos and Poblano is perfect when you are in a chowdery mood.
Heidi Swanson's Thai Green Curry Zucchini and Noodle Soup is great when a Thai food craving hits.
Giada's Artichoke Soup with Fresh Mint is tangy and delicious and quick to put together.
Tessa Kiros Portuguese Purslane Soup is one I will make again when I find more purslance leaves--so good!
Jamie Oliver's Watercress and Sweet Leek Soup Horseradish & Crème Fraîche Croûtes is peppery and bright and the little toasts on the top are fun.
Nigella Lawson's Green Curry Spinach and Coconut Soup with Grilled Shrimp is pleasantly spicy and really delicious with the grilled shrimp.
I'm linking up these great green-filled soups to I Heart Cooking Clubs Eat Your Green(s) post this week.
Let's see who is here in the Souper Sundays kitchen this week:
Shaheen from Allotment2Kitchen is here with a Leek, Potato and Lavender Soup, saying "I was motivated by a recipe whilst flicking through a cookbook and remembering that i had some dried lavender in a jar. Lavender is very potent, so be careful to stick to the quantity recommended. On
eating though, I could hardly taste it, but I could smell it and it
had somewhat of a calming effect on me, unless i was imagining it. It
was also very rich, in thickness and leek flavour which i guess should
not have been surprising, as they were literally harvested less than an
hour or two before cooking."
Thank you to Shaheen for joining me this week!
