Recipe

We ate a soup at our friend Astrid’s who is a great cook. And since she had a French mother, we have pretty much exactly the same taste. We know exactly what we think is ‘délicieux’ from each other. She made a soup with fried lemon zest in it. Not normally tasty. And so I made it a few days later in the restaurant. Almost too good to be true.

Artichoke soup, you don’t eat it so quickly I think. And that while it is so incredibly tasty and also ready in no time. It is a soup for all seasons, but even better when the weather is nice.

Oh cauliflower, it’s an amazing vegetable. Just the way it grows. I can’t get over it every time I divide them into roses. The ingenuity of such a vegetable to grow like this. Even with the eighteenth cauliflower in a day, I have immense respect. And then the versatile way in which you can prepare a cauliflower. Unbelievable. And always blissful. Also in this recipe in which we combine savory, nutty and sweet.

Tomato soup is always good anyway. But if he still manages to surprise, that’s great. And this one does. The fennel seeds and borlotti beans are responsible for this. And those borlotti beans add body and bite to the soup. And that really makes a difference.
