Mark's thoughts: great winter meal that could be whipped together with stuff you probably already have in your house/fridge. We will eat this again for sure.
Jamie's thoughts: tasty but needs more sauce as it was more like a stew than a soup
Ali's thoughts: she want to have it over some rice or something again because it was thicker than a normal soup
The second soup I planned on making was a Tuscan Farro and Bean soup. This is a classic cold weather Tuscan dish which Jamie and I had been wanted to try. So I did a little search and found a good looking recipe again on Epicurious (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Tuscan-Farro-and-Bean-Soup-235425). We drove all over town getting the ingredients and I was stoked to make a bean and barley soup. It all started well, I got the dried beans sorted. I got all the ingredients ready and started cooking. I got to the final major step I had blended the soup added the barley and was ready to go. The problem was a then sat down and started looking at vacation options for Jamie, Luca and I completely forgetting that the recipe clearly said "stirring frequently" then next thing I knew I could smell this awful burning smell and that was it. Even though it was only slightly burnt to the bottom of the pot "the funk" had permeated the entire soup and it was a lost cause. It was a sad moment for 52 weeks, 52 eats but fortunately I had already made something new so I was still in the clear.
On to next week I guess...
