The soup ended up tasting fairly bland, unfortunately. Not sure if I did something wrong.
It was nicely filling! But the flavors ended up pretty boring. It tasted fairly allium-ey which I guess is a great if that's what you're going for. Maybe it's just not my flavor preference. I felt like it needed some more savory-ness. I also added some lemon for acid.
The parsley didn't impart it's flavor into the olive oil. Maybe it could have infused if I heated the oil up? Not sure if parsley essence is fat soluble.
I appreciate how creative the recipe is. Also, it plates beautifully yet isn't too hard to make.
