A delicious soup with just a few ingredients. Carrots, onions and coriander. The carrots give it a thick, smooth texture with a vibrant orange colour. Sprinkled with a few parsley leaves, this soup has a rich flavour that moves between carrot and coriander with each spoonful.

2009-02-17 Cream of Mushroom

The Roastery cycles their soups about once a week. A few favourites like Chicken Noodle make it in to the rotation more often. Today’s soup, Cream of Mushroom, is not featured often enough. The Roastery Cream of Mushroom is a rich and thick†creamy soup with lots of fresh mushrooms and seasoned with pepper.

A lot of canned cream of mushroom soups that I’ve tried all have that same texture to their mushrooms. The canned mushroom texture. The kind of canned mushroom college students buy to add to ramen noodles to fake having vegetables with their meal. The mushrooms in the Roastery’s soup are fresh and full of flavour, having also absorbed some of the soup’s seasoning.

Curried Butternut Squash

A rich textured soup with strong hints of curry. While a tad spicy, the curry flavours didn’t over-power or push aside the butternut squash that made up the core of this soup. As you get closer to the bottom of the bowl, the curry flavours become more pronounced, with slight hints of cinnamon as well. The taste lingers slightly, leaving a very pleasant aftertaste once the bowl is finished.
