Roasted Eggplant Soup - A link

I haven't been as diligent as I should be the past couple of weeks; extended work schedules and out of town trips have sabotaged a lot of my cooking and produce-buying plans. But I hope to update with a couple of recipes soon.

Meanwhile, some links instead.

Roasted Eggplant Soup, from Smitten Kitchen, adapted from Bon Appetit. I further adapted this by omitting the cream (which is totally uncharacteristic of me, but once I smelled the soup and saw its texture I felt cream was entirely unnecessary), serving with feta rather than goat cheese, and adding a handful of Israeli couscous to make it a little more like a main dish soup. The couscous got mixed reviews: my husband felt it made the dish, but I was never quite convinced and would like to try the soup without. Still, a really flavorful dinner soup. My only complaint is that the eggplant seeds caused some texture issues, but I think that's more about the age of my eggplant than the quality of the recipe.

Also, if you've never been to Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, head over and search her recipes. I can't single out one to highlight right now because there are so many I've tried over the last several years. I don't think I've disliked any of them.

Ta-ta for now. I'll try to post my Cold Taco Salad recipe in a few days!
