I read the recipe about 10 times. Maybe if I just memorized it, I wouldn't make any mistakes. I noticed I had the wrong kind of onion, no cilantro, black pepper instead of white pepper, and chicken broth instead of chicken stock (there is a difference). Not the greatest start.
I was pretty clumsy chopping the onions and the carrots, but it made me laugh. I. Love. Cooking. I love browning butter and sifting flour and stirring in ingredients. I love chopping and dicing and baking and boiling and almost everything cooking related. It gives me a peaceful energy. The only things that stop me are not having enough time, only having so much stomach to fill, and fear of messing up.
The soup turned out great. No cilantro, but I'm not very fond of cilantro, so it wasn't missed. I added extra pepper to my own bowl. I also didn't puree all of the carrots. I wanted a little substance in the soup, and if I make this soup again, I think I will try adding other vegetables at the end. Maybe cauliflower and peas? I think it would be delicious.
