Christmas Recipes, More, More!

Hello, everyone. Happy Friday! In my yesterday post, I wished you a great weekend as I wasn’t going to post anything else this week. Nope, your eyes ain’t lying. This is indeed a new recipe, and this is not Monday yet. As you can see, I’ve changed my mind.

First of all, the previously posted recipe for Cranberry Almond Relish is the condiment that goes together with this Pumpkin Cranberry Soup. That’s in case you want to try this fabulous combination this weekend. You see – I think about your convenience! :) Secondly, why wait? So many great recipes are waiting to meet with you guys. Lastly, and probably most importantly, I’ve already made and photographed recipes enough for the entire season. Yup, I’ve been very productive this year. That being said, I am hoping to squeeze a few extra recipes in my tight schedule.

And if you think I am going to stop, please think again. That was the preamble – the most fun starts now. I might not be focusing on developing recipes for the blog (At least, not for this year), but I am not just going to eat all the cookies without taking the camera. That’s a no-no! Wasted calories! Talking about cookies, out of MANY recipes I’ve already developed for the blog, desserts are only four of them. Having said that, I am going to catch up with all the cookies for the next couple of weeks!

A spoiler alert: my first sweet recipe is coming up next week. I won’t say what’s is going to be, though. Okay, I’ll hint. 10 letters, starts with “c”, ends with “e”, “cake” and “cheese” are the parts of that delicious word. That’s enough for you, otherwise you will solve this puzzle, and there won’t be any surprise! :)

Festive Soup Collection:

Talking about savoury festive recipes, I have plenty of them. Boy, I’ve got quite a collection of festive soup!

And here we go, I’ve now got this Pumpkin Cranberry Soup. Initially, I was going to simply combine the pumpkin and cranberries, but this idea transformed to this Cranberry Almond Relish. I think that was a good call as the soup turned so festive with the relish!

The flavour is delightful, too. Rosemary and nutmeg make the soup Christmassy. Also, it is not extremely heavy despite the use of butter, parmesan, and light cream. Still, you can make it even lighter substituting cream for water or vegetable stock. The texture and flavour won’t suffer, but this could make sense during the abundance of festive food choices.

I hope you like this Pumpkin Cranberry Soup (and the relish, too), and you enjoy it during these winter holidays or just winter time.

Cheers and see you next week. I promise :)
