Tim Hortons Soups
Seinfeld's the Soup Nazi understood the deliciousness of soup, and how hard it is to get it right.
Well, the fast food Tim Hortons (which is more a Wendy's than a Macdonalds) has added a new selection to their soup roster: Sweet potato and spices bisque.
I'm trying to find the recipe, although I'm pretty sure the spices are a combination of paprika and cardamom, which adds to the sweetness of the sweet potato. Anything stronger, like chili peppers or curry, would drown the delicate sweet potato. Someone knows how to make soup here. Perhaps Tim's does have a soup Nazi, who will NOT divulge, at any cost, the exact (secret) ingredients of his creation.
The menu describes the soup as: "A savoury, velvety bisque with pureed sweet potatoes, spices and a touch of cream."
For a "cup of soup" which is just perfect for a very quick snack in this cold weather, it costs $3.15, with a roll. A combo is a larger "bowl" and includes coffee and chips or a donut.
Well, the Timmie's crowd is much nicer than Seinfeld's soup chef, and probably couldn't tell me what's in the bisque, with their "chef" most likely a committee somewhere at head office.
Laura Wood at the Thinking Housewife has posted what sounds like a delicious soup, which she made especially for her son and his guest.
Here is her post, An Autumn Soup, and the recipe for the soup, Curried Parsnip and Apple Soup.
