Had a craving for something soupy, my favourite kind of dish! Hehe. Roped in helped from MamaFiza on googling for a good soup recipe online and found this. Looked through the recipe just to check through the ingredients - a variety of spice but easily attainable (at least that was what I thought).
Who would have known that marjoram is so NOT easy to find??!! Went to at least 4 supermarts/hypermarts - Carrefour, Jusco, Giant & Cold Storage but none to be found. Aarrghhh, so much for wanting to follow the recipe to the T. So I have to BAU improvise. Can't really remember what I replaced them with, just smelling and adding it to the pot as I go along :p
Loved the reddish colour of the soup and the many many carrots I thrown in. Toasted 3 slices of bread and dipped it into the thick, sourish, beefy soup and I was in heaven. Just my choice of dinner on a cold rainy night. :) While J had his with white rice.
And what did J had to say about it when prodded on what he thought about the soup? Well, he generally does not like food with sourish base, so suffice to say this won't make it to the dinner table if it's just gona be him and me for dinner :p
hehe... stew look alike :p
yaya, memang. just different ingredients :)
