Soup, the calming food

After the anxiety of the recent days, I had a lovely quiet day of knitting, listening to a Marjorie Allingham audiobook, and making the soup I'd planned.



I used the whey from the cheese making, with cashews, carrots and sweet potatoes, and milk powder to make a cream soup. Flavored with nutmeg, lemon juice turmeric and berbere.  Isn't that a beautiful golden color?  You can't stay tense around this soup.

And I found these



They look like sections of Greek architecture. The salt is particularly amazing, minute cubes.  Wonder is a good thing to invite into our lives, even in such tragic times.

  3. Those microscopic salt cubes look like the big salt blocks that farmers put out in the fields for their cattle to lick.

  4. Fascinating to see the salt and sugar! The soup looks wonderful and would be welcome here today because we're back into the cold (-7C) and it's trying to snow. Wonder if spring will EVER get here!
