NOVEMBER 2015: Roasted Vegetable Soup

photoed by D. Liongson

It isn't everyday I eat eggplants, tomatoes, and chickpeas cooked together in one dish.

After eating one helping of this Roasted Vegetable Soup, it became an experience I look forward to when I return to The Cafe Mediterranean.

It is not the usual chopped fresh eggplants-tomatoes-chickpeas-tossed-in-hot-water combo. These veggies are grilled, blended, and served piping hot. It may take a discriminating tongue to identify the herbs and spices.  

Would I recognize every flavor added to the soup? Beats me.  All I know is... IT'S DELISH!

Lightly spiced, roasted flavor, pleasant texture in the mouth, a hint of salt, and shifts from hot-to-warm on time.

This is available in cup order or bowl order. I haven't tried the bowl version. It would help to ask the waiter what the size differences are.

If you order this soup and you have dietary restrictions, ask the waiter if this soup contains what you are forbidden to eat. On my end, the resto staff are friendly. If I received any rude dramas from them, it is certain I won't come back.  

Fortunately, I look forward to return.

The menu items they have are worth exploring. Preferences ranging from meat to veggies (or in between) can be found. If you try out all the items (agreeable to you) in the menu, you will discover what your favorite is.
