Hello, everyone!
As the autumn still lets summer to hang around we can adjust our menu accordingly. When it gets hot in the middle of the day lets have some refreshing and light watermelon salad inspired by Jamie Oliver and when we get together for a dinner we are going to enjoy a bowl of warm tasty soup. And you know what? This soup can work as antidepressant even for lunchtime in case you had a stressful morning at work.
When you feel like you are going to have a stressful morning (sometimes we definitely know it’s coming as we know we did not meet the deadline and a meeting to discuss that situation is already scheduled at 10 am) make it in the evening and take it with you to work in a thermos! It will soothe all the negative feelings acquired after a meeting and it works much better than the sandwich, I promise!
This mushroom soup is our family favorite weekend lunch option, it never gets old, disappears quickly, and is simplicity itself to make. We love love love this soup! It tastes as good 1-2 days later so it’s a good investment of your 30 min time to make lunch or dinner for a couple of days.
Sometimes you need to invest lots of time and labor to get an incredible taste and you know it’s worth it. Sometimes you can spend a couple of minutes and reach the simple but yet elegant and absolutely satisfying taste of your dish. So let’s be simple today!
After eating this incredible meal, you will become a pinch happier, I promise!
Bon Appétit!
