Our 8th fabulous ‘Tacular was full of soupy goodness. Hosted by the FerGormans in their cozy abode, we ladled our way through 10 pots of deliciousness….
Kate, her mismatched socks, and Ian brought a smooth winter vegetable soup topped with bacon, sour cream and thyme.
Karina and Christian served up a gooey, cheesy soup with beer. Christian may or may not have snuck some Tabasco and cream into the pot when the head chef wasn’t looking.
Sara, Dan and Henry sliced and diced their way to a delicious hot and sour soup topped with green onions and chili oil. So authentic, it was O-Posse approved! And our cooks had such a good time, they came back for more (or perhaps, to retrieve their keys…).
Jenn and Daniel also went the Asian route with a yummy fish soup with creamy coconut milk, lime leaves and loads of other Thai ingredients that required a special trip to St. Lawrence Market to find.
Allison and Mark brought two soups! A pureed ginger carrot; and a coconut jasmine tea-infused soup with lychee and mango (or was that papaya? I do remember that it was deelish).
Jeremy and Mei brought a savoury minestrone with double-smoked bacon and homemade stock, and two kinds of cheese for garnish – parmesan and bocconcini. Hearty, cheesy, good.
Ayako and James channelled their inner Greeks and stirred up a pot of creamy, tangy avgolemono – with lemon, egg, dill and rice. Tasty!
I, for some reason, went all Irish and brought an onion, potato and thyme soup topped with parsley pesto, and served with cheesy soda scones.
And Mark…..well, Mark took a more liberal interpretation of “soup” and brought a dessert concoction of ice cream, chocolate syrup, peanut M&Ms and cookie dough. We’ll certainly give you points for creativity, Linder!
We topped up our bellies with macarons, tarte tatin and Ayako’s infamous coffee, chocolate chip shortbread bars. As we tried to ignore the sloshing sounds from Mei’s stomach, we voted on the next ‘Tacular which will be…
Stacktacular! If it’s yummy, layered and/or stacked, bring it on! Our lovely hosts will be Allison and Mark, date to be confirmed.
