i've had a wee rush of german 'soup like medicine' vids in my feed. i'm a believer in soup for sure but i think i probably believe medicine should be more like soup! i likely wouldn't make this particular soup but, i believe, for the people who like this wort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. and that's the key for me. my taste is not yours and vice versa. but a bit of time out, some fresh veg and a pot of soup on the stove - that always works for me!
this yeung man bowl is like diving into memory for me. i can't say my memries of working in the kitchen are fond but they are good, and i've made endeless veggie/vegan bowls just like this and i've never liked an avocado since! lol where i live you'd be more likely to see a unicorn than a purple carrot but such things were freely available when i was a londonist and i do have very fond memories of shopping and cooking for my ex mother in low. as for carrot ribbons, i was all about making wee roses and knots with them. happy days
