Seasonal Vegetable Cream Soup


Lately I decided to start eating healthy... Again. I thought of making myself something filling, yet healthy, and what can be better than a vegetable soup. I looked in my fridge and found only some potatoes, carrots and cauliflower. But then again in Finland at this time of the year these are seasonal vegetables. Isn't that what all nutritionists recommend, eating seasonal vegetables? So, here's the recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Mousse au Chocolat

Desserts play an important role in our daily diets. But what about French desserts? You will not be left unimpressed after trying some, even if you’re not a sweet tooth like me. Since my daughter lives in France, Lyon, I happen to go there a lot. Lyon has the reputation of being the gastronomic capital of France. A well-known food critic, Curnonsky, described Lyon even as the world capital of gastronomy! Here prevails the cult of gourmet cuisine and the best restaurants in Lyon are highly worshipped. The medieval streets of Old Town (Vieux Lyon) are full of restaurants and cafes, where you can try out all sorts of different foods. 

Anyways, back to desserts. Let’s make an authentic traditional French dessert, chocolate mousse (mousse au chocolat). The word mousse in French means foam and, thus the literal translation is chocolate foam. The recipe was taken from a book called 'Cuisine et Vins de France: desserts de tradition' (éditions marie claire).
