SWEDE AND MAPLE SOUP
(Velouté de rutabaga et sirop d’érable)
It’s not easy to find a nice combination of vegetables to make a soup. We are indubitably bored with the broccoli, pumpkin and leeks we can see practically everywhere… Each week, when I decide to prepare a soup, I try to figure out which vegetables I will associate with. This time it was swede. Why ? Heuuu, why not ??? With sweetcorn, red onions and a little French-Canadian touch (I am completely hooked with a Canadian film called “Apparence”…) : maple syrup. Maple syrup is a gem in cooking : I do salads with it, cocktails, cookies, etc… I glazed my meat with maple syrup as well. It is less sweet than the honey for the reluctant of sweet and sour taste… I have told you, maple syrup is exemplary…
