New kind of soup

I've never managed to caramelise carrots before! There's a lot of sugar in them and they were on the edge of being burnt. I love caramelised red onions in a tart with gruyere cheese. Delicious if I get it right.

Anno I make quite a lot of caramelised onions when starting a meal. There is a magic point between caramelised and burnt. I don't always get it right. I blame Gransnet!

Sadly, though edible (just), the remains of my caramelised soup has gone into the compost bucket.

I bought some Morrisons frozen peas last year that were tough as old boots....normally I'm a petit pois person. However, I used them to make pea and mint soup (cooked with a little decent chicken stock, blitzed and then a splash of cream), was yummy!

I'm having invented soup myself. Frozen peas, spinach, add yoghurt before eating and a basil leaf or two, if available. yum.
