I wasn't going to make anything Nigella tonight. But I found myself wanting to do more in the kitchen after I'd finished dinner. So I was trying to think what I had in my cupboard that I could knock another recipe off. These ingredients were all right there in the fridge needing to be used up so this is how I arrived at this recipe.
I have made this soup at least 5 times before so I knew what I was doing here. Nevertheless I still made subsitutions. Here I used vegetable stock in place of chicken stock and I used nutmeg in place of mace. To tell you the truth I've never once made this recipe with mace. I've always used nutmeg and I probably always will.
This soup is ridiculously easy to make. While making this soup I washed my dishes and changed in to my work out clothes. Does it get any better??? Why yes it does. Because not only is this soup a dream to make - but it's also a dream to eat. I freakin love this soup. It's joggers that look like tuxedo pants. You think it's all fancy - but then you find out nothing could be easier.
I guess I should also mention that other than the first time I made this soup, I've taken to dropping the buttermilk garnish. The soup is just as good without it -but if you're looking to impress your mother-in-law or something like that then by all means use the buttermilk. For everyday though, you really don't need to go to the trouble....unless you're uppity ;-)
