spiCes

I know I have posted this CAULIFLOWER with CHIVES and ROASTED ALMONDS SOUP photo before [probably in my old website] but for theme this week which is CREAMY, it just fits like a glove, as they say. Another dish that brings back a lot of childhood memories. May I add too that cauliflower is the only vegetable I eat when I was a kid, of course it’s a whole new story now…This is just a sampling though…I can just imagine what you might have to offer!

This hearty soup is fresh, simple yet sophisticated, spiCed up with chives and roasted almonds. Not that it is prepared in true gourmet fashion but it is layered with a myriad of flavors, has the proper medium thick and creamy texture as I simply used the right stock, and the exact right ingredients, seasonings and thickening agent, which is milk. What plays an important role here as well is the so called “trinity” or mirepoix which is in actuality is usually carrots, onions and celery. This layering of flavors and spiCes will surely make a big difference in the success of such a dish.Just a simple reminder…this is a weekly Food Meme for everyone with a Pinoy palate, there goes my reason for posting a not so Filipino dish:)…based on my very Filipino taste! So anyone and everyone can join! Let me take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who have submitted their entries during the past 3 weeks even if I was galibunting [gallivanting] with my family. If I missed visiting your post, do drop me a line and again, my apologies…

Also, I don’t think the MisterLinky box is working as it should and so as to save you from typing in 2 links in submitting your entry, I am not including that starting this week. Simply leave your comments for the round-up…thanks!
UPDATE: I am slowly bouncing back…to blogging and cleaning up the house, making sure everything is well and ready as school starts Wednesday. Awww, back to getting up early…
