On Boxing Day a sparrow came and sat on my branch outside my kitchen window - he was asking me to turn around and go in the direction of the East.
In the direction of the East is where I began my first business and those that followed it. That direction is the direction of the teacher - its also the direction of the creatives and art. As well as the university where the human rights lawyers are said to exist. The East the mothers and dads of children - the families.
On Christmas day we unlocked the Brussels that my son had brought - although he said that he would not eat them. This evening I asked where is the orange juice. The carton of orange juice was meant to be included in a carrot and cumin soup. He said that he had drunk it.
Ok so what does mum do now. Inventive creative time is upon the teacher so mum has to be inventive and creative again.
I was going to dedicate this soup to my son and the children born in 1983.
However - the Sparrow has been an inspiration with his love and another director that I once knew this Christmas period. So I shall call the soup 'North East' soup due to it being dedicated to two men that were special in my life. The first man was the best man at my wedding - the other man was a client and a dear friend in my heart.
The recipe includes the following:
A bowl of grated carrot
The stock from a real chicken.
1 tablespoon of soya
I tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of cumin
Rock salt and black pepper to taste
A pan full of water
Two large cloves of garlic sliced and chopped small.
Two small potatoes cut small.
Two clementines - the segments.
Hand full of spaghetti in small pieces.
8 Brussels sprouts sliced.
CLEMENTINE
You can mash the ingredients while cooking.
The spaghetti was included when the soup was tasting good. Afterwards sliced brussels sprouts were included as I found the soup to be very sweet - and I kept on including more water to it during the cooking.
Let it simmer until it suits your taste buds. Adding the sliced brussels towards the end gave the soup more balance and it really is delicious. Be creative -- be inventive with your cooking.
A wonderful soup and so easy and simple to make. So good for you and filled with nutrition.
I've had two bowlfuls with a couple of slices of bread. Its the kind of soup that you can eat and eat - again and again. It has mummies special touch!
Hope that you like it.
