THE INFAMOUS THREE SOUPS IN A BOWL
Accidentally invented in 1985.
Ingredients
1 onion, peeled & chopped
4 sticks celery, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 medium cauliflowers cut into florets
1 pint chicken/vegetable stock
40g plain flour
75g butter
250g spinach leaves, washed & de-stalked
5 tomatoes, quartered & de-seeded but skins on
150g tomato puree
Method:
1. Melt the butter in a heavy based pan. Add the onion, celery,
garlic and cauliflower, stirring occasionally for a few minutes.
2. Stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes. Add the stock and
leave to simmer until the cauliflower is soft.
3. Divide the soup into 3 portions. Blend/liquidise one portion
and pass through a strainer.
4. To another portion, add the tomatoes and tomato puree, liquidise
and strain.
5. To the remaining portion add the spinach leaves, liquidise and
strain.
To Serve:
Take 3 separate pans and heat each soup until they are piping
hot, pour into 3 separate jugs/gravy boats.
Place a small metal ring in the centre of a soup bowl and pour 2
of the soups either side of the metal ring at the same time.
Next pour the remaining soup into the centre of the ring, give the
ring a little twizzle around and remove from the bowl.
Note: Alternatively, use 3 soups of your choice, differing in colour
and of a good consistency.
Drink Suggestion:
Bloody Good Mary! 1/5th vodka, 4/5ths tomato juice, dash of
lemon juice, 2 dashes Tabasco Sauce, celery salt & pepper to
taste. Stir well & garnish with a stick of celery. For a virgin
take away the vodka.
