Parsley foam soup

Feb 25th, 2010 | By Tobias | Category: Recipes, Soups

I had eaten this soup many years ago at my fathers house. Now that I wanted to cook it I could not recall much but a few details of the preparation. This was for certain: Lots of parsley was involved in order to achieve this intense and unique flavour. Some cream, some butter and beef [...]

Looking through my RSS reader I discovered a Zucchini and Cheese soup at Joumanas blog. I had to modify the choice of cheese but the rest of the ingredients I had at home. A delicious soup for those who love a sip of a strong soup.

Beetroot soup with Wasabi

Nov 18th, 2009 | By Tobias | Category: Soups

This is a wonderful fall-soup. I don’t only love the colour but also the taste of this beetroot soup. It is a bit of a freestyle food version of a classical beetroot soup. The Wasabi gives it a touch of spice that warms you up on cold fall and winter days. This simple soup recipe [...]



Gazpacho – a chilled spanish soup

Aug 30th, 2009 | By Tobias | Category: Recipes, Soups

This summer I was preparing a lot of Gazpacho soup for my guests. This cold and refreshing soup is a perfect starter because it quickens the appetite in hot weather. The spice note of the Gazpacho requires a fruity white wine. I serve Gazpacho as a starter but it also can serve as a small [...]



Chickpea soup with tomato

Having seen a chickpea soup at lamiacuccina’s blog, I felt inspired. The thought of combining chickpea, rosemary and tomatoes made me hungry and I had to try to make a chickpea soup instantly. It was surprisingly tasty and easy to prepare.
