It was simply inevitable that I, the #1 Soup Choster, after getting Neathpilled again and playing a shit ton of Sunless Sea and Fallen London, would eventually have to make my own version of the favorite dish of zailors, zzoup.
"The colour: old blood on snow. The taste: paprika, mushrooms, irony. The recipe: winewound chanterelles, exile's rose, paprika, pork stock, lament-onions, hanged men's tears, and some salt."
This turned out delicious, and I'm pretty sure this is what I'll put in the ol' soup patreon this month. I had a lot of fun figuring out how to interpret such a brief and fantastical recipe into something I could eat for dinner. For instance: exile's rose is a black rose that grows in Hell, which is actually hard to source even in New York, so I figured black garlic would fill in well for the purpose.
Ahhh. I feel my terror reducing even now.
This recipe is now available in my soup patreon and also, I've put it up for free! I felt a little weird directly charging for culinary fanfiction, so I hope anyone who checks this one out might check out the rest of my nearly 6 years of original soup recipes!
For $5 a month you will get a new original soup recipe every month, in addition to the back catalog of 5+ years of soup recipes. I strive to make my soup recipes vegetarian-friendly (this month's is vegan!), budget-friendly, and depression- and fatigue-friendly. I like getting a little weird with it, like with unusual soups... you want a pickle and pastrami soup? I got one of those!
If you'd like a sampler of some other recipes I have up for free, I've got that for you here. Join with me in the love..... of soup!
