Recipes: Soups

I once did a 3 year course in gastronomic cuisine and got a degree that allows me to open a restaurant or work in one as a chef. I never meant it to make my profession, and it stayed a hobby eversince.

Today I experimented in the kitchen. Amongst others I made 2 soups of whom I'll give the recipe here. I got them from a cookbook so I really don't get credit for them.

I'll be posting recipes regularly. If there's a recipe I liked, I'll publish it. I use a descipription as short as possible and metric measurements. If you have questions about ingredients or the preparation, just ask!
