Swede, Carrot & Pumpkin Soup
Swede, Carrot & Pumpkin Soup: Fridge clean-out magic in a bowl
Soup, soupidoop, soupidoop, soupidoopidoopidoop…if you didn’t just sing that like you were the missing member of Salt N’ Pepa then who even are you?
It’s not soup weather around these parts right now, but I love me a little fridge clean out, and this was the result. Chucked in a swede that was rolling around in the crisper and unlike the other Swede, he’s not obsessed with cheap furniture or fika, he’s just keen on delivering you flavoursome soup. What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man….
