Finn's Noms is a weekly feature where Finn picks recipes out of the (many) cookbooks we have, and then cooks them for us!
What book: Minecraft cookbook
What recipe: Beetroot Soup
Did we change anything: Yes! We added chickpeas for some extra protein
Why we chose that recipe: We wanted a healthier alternative to tomato soup.
Thoughts:
I liked it. It was better with the grilled cheese dipped inside. I used a cookbook that was pretty cool. First time using the Minecraft cookbook I got for Christmas. This recipe has a lot of tomatoes. It was my first time eating beets and I couldn't really taste them over the taste of the tomatoes. Next time I want to add more beets and more seasonings. Before we added the seasonings it didn't smell good, it smelled like dirt. Once we added the seasonings it smelled okay. The first half of the recipe was pretty fun to cook, I liked pouring the ingredients in the blender and blending it, the second half was mostly just stirring, so I got real bored real fast.
Would we change anything
Maybe less tomato, add more seasonings. My papi added red chili flakes and said it was really good.
Would we cook it again.
Yes
4/5 Yums
This was Finn's first time cooking. He chose the recipe book, the recipe, and he cooked it, mostly, by himself. We helped him open the cans and pour the blended ingredients in the pot. We love tomato soup and thought this would be a healthier alternative to what you get in a can. We also love grilled cheese with our tomato soup.
I didn't care much for the soup, it was decent when I ate it with my grilled cheese. But honestly it tasted very earthy by itself. I think if we add more spices, maybe something spicy like red pepper flakes, and even maybe some coconut milk it'll taste better. I've never had beets before and I don't think I'm much of a fan.
I'm really proud of Finn for picking the recipe and cooking it for everyone, though he did have help making the grilled cheeses.
