Yum! I made this to take for lunches this week and we loved every spoonful. Funny how a bowl of soup fills you up – even if it’s chock full of healthy. =) It’s mad easy to make but tastes like a million bucks. Thanks for sharing this! (And I can so relate to your misery of the bad kitchen days …)

I’m so well aware of kitchen mishaps! Glad this soup was a great solace, in all :)

We’ve had several weeks like what you describe. Looks like you rallied though—pretty soup.

Or maybe we should just make a pact to use them once a week for something and then it will be just like riding a bike…maybe. ;)

I definitely agree about the learning curve. I think there’s so much more to making bread than the starter or good yeast… it’s the whole kneading and rising process that I need to get the hang of! And my darn house has hot and cold spots… the temp drops significantly at night so I have a feeling that it’s sabotaging my bread efforts. Glad that Trevor’s bread is coming out well, even if he’s still not happy with it. Your fruit and nut bread sounds divine. Hope you have better cooking experiences for the rest of the weekend (I’m baking bread today so wish me luck!) x

This soup sounds amazing! I want to reach in and grab that spoon and take a bite out of that soup. Delicious!

The soup sounds so delicious. Even worth braving the blender for! I’m writing it down right now so I can give it a try.

Mmm this looks really good. I’m a sucker for anything with curry flavoring!

Same here. Can not for the life of me get bread making under control. I have given up after last weekends hockey pucks. :) You soup looks delicious and I love how you only used five ingredients.

I had no idea they had so many parts! I think my reaction to it will probably be along the “ugh” lines in the future too – I’ll just work on my chopping skills.

I recently threw out a mini hand chopper because I was so frustrated with it – sometimes doing things by hand is the most reliable! The bread is edible and makes good toast, but it’s a little dense and chewy. It’s got like 3 cups of dried fruit and seeds in it, so I think it would taste decent regardless of how the bread dough came out. I think bread has a steep learning curve! Trevor has been making a batch of sourdough every week for the last few months and he’s still not happy with it (although I think it’s delicious). I hope your next batch comes out well!!

Haha yes, it is the one you gave me. I had no idea they had so many parts! Oh well. And yes, as soon as I have the counter space for it, I’m for sure getting a Kitchen Aid. Either that or I’ll just end up with really strong arms. Love you!

Those types of kitchen days can certainly be frustrating! I purchased a mandolin two years ago and I’ve used it ONCE. You’re right…it took me a good hour to figure out how to put it all together and make it work properly. I even labeled all the parts so I would know what to do next time. Unfortunately, every time I look at it now I think, “ugh”..no thanks, I’ll just slice everything thinly by hand. Ha!

Your soup looks lovely and delicious! ~ April

Aw you poor thing! What a horribly frustrating night! Glad that the soup still turned out wonderful (despite the exploding blender; that’s happened to me plenty of times and it is so freaking upsetting. The last time it happened I threw the blender out!). How did the bread turn out? Bread seems to always defeat me. I’ve almost given up… working on a third batch of sourdough starter at the moment and praying that it will redeem my previous efforts! Love your photographs, words and the recipe. As per usual, you’ve created something beautiful on here in spite of it all xx
