Soup of Memories

Memories restaurant has a wonderful menu. Their special was curried cream of squash soup with their pumpernickel bread. It’s $5 and for the quality of food, as satisfying as a $60 meal.

Hot and Sour Soup

A sweet and sour soup mix needs some broth and some veggies. I added some peas, carrots and parsnips and stirred in a beaten egg.
On the side radish and cucumber in a vinaigrette topped with dried thyme from the garden which is also sprinkled over the feta and gnocchi.

Lentil Soup

I sliced some small potatoes and tossed them with sage, thyme and oregano. Baked and then grilled with a little sea salt sprinkled over them. Crumbled on top of the soup to serve was some feta.
Beside it is lentil soup made from red lentils, chopped potatoes, onions, celery, chopped carrots and some curry.

Minestrone Soup

White Kidney Bean Soup and Crescent Rolls

It’s still nice enough to eat outside.
The soup was white kidney beans, onions, carrots (coming into season), rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, some sage and thyme.
The rolls were the crescent rolls this time rolled thinner and the dough cut into 8 triangles instead of quarters.

Soup and Salad

Cream of [well, skim milk of] cauliflower soup, mixed green garden salad with honey-mustard dressing, and tart-sized cheese quiches (made with brie, mozzarella and green onion).
