Saw a weird recipe on youtube and had to try it, step forward Gherkin soup:

 

 

 

Looks lovely that, well into soup season. What else is in it?

I followed this recipe, only with no dead things in it and celeriac rather than celery, but I think half the point is to use whatever veg you have: 

 

 

I would say mine was a tad more sour than I wanted but still delicious - I used 620 grams of gherkins so would recommend a bit less, maybe 400 grams.

Gherkins are the main vegetable but carrots, potatoes and dill feature in the vast majority of recipes for this Polish dish but the Veg can be pretty interchangeable as can the meat if you want to use that as stock, as I am veggie I just used a veg stock pot thingy. I used Gherkins, Parsnips, carrots, celeriac, potato & onion. I cubed the potato and celeriac and grated the other veg. My cooking herbs were a gigantic bay leaf, sage and some ground cardamom just cause it needed using up. The video covers all this and more. If you can, use lacto-fermented Gherkins and Smetana (Eastern European sour cream) for authenticity. I topped it with Dill, cubed gherkins, basil and flat leaf parsley once in the bowl. The second bowl was actually better as the soup thickened up as it cooled and had a glossier mouthfeel.

Got a glut of super sweet carrots out the garden right now, so put together a carrot and coriander soup, and whilst not soup, though continuing on the carrot theme, a couple of carrot cakes with cheese and cream frosting. Well nice.

Pecan artistry is not my strong point.
