Of Home Made Excuses

Last night I had a go at recipe 1 (page 1) of "1,000 Vegetarian Recipes" asparagus soup. I would like to say to it was a resounding success but this would only be partly true.

A willing, brave and game friend volunteered to come round to test it. Shortly before serving it was clear it hadn't quite worked out. The soup hadn't thickened. Said volunteer politely suggested that this was because the flour/butter ratio wasn't quite right. I insisted it was more to do with very unclear recipe instructions.

We decided to change the name of the soup from asparagus to rustic asparagus and onion and had a hit on our hands. Here's to game and creative friends....
