[Cooking] Yummy vegetable soup

[karohemd]

It's been a while since I produced food that was worth taking a photo of (or I hadn't taken a photo of before).
Here's the yummy veg soup I made this evening.
Broccoli, leeks, carrots, potatoes (for starch), seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, sweet pimenton, mixed herbs, blitzed, scraped through a sieve.
Finished with creme fraiche, garnished with chilli oil and a few slithers of red pepper and mint leaves.
I even have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. :)

That looks gorgeous. We also had soup only it was not photogenic (was yesterday's pot roasted brisket torn up and warmed through in its own degreased (Guinessy) juices and eaten with homemade bread).

Thank you!
Yours sounds yummy, though! I've often cooked something that looked like a dog's dinner but was delicious. ;o)

Interesting to put mint on top -- I would have instinctively gone for sage, as more 'savoury'. Did that work well?

To be honest, I only wanted something green on top for contrast purposes and mint was all I had. ;o)

I added plenty of seasoning. :o)

Your soup sounds great!
I briefly considered added some chorizo as I have an excellent one currently (bought at the Art of Meat but not made by them) but I had pigged out over the weekend (lamb chops on Sat, ratatouilley thing with the aforementioned chorizo on Sunday) so I wanted to keep it veggie and light.
