  32. I am not a big fan of swede and only usually like it when it's mixed with carrots. Maybe I could make swede and carrot soup. :) x

  33. I have never made swede soup but I do love its taste as a side veggie so I may give it a go, especially if there is a pinch of cumin added to the bargain.xx

  34. Ive never used swede as the main ingredient for soup, but I do like a touch of cumin in root vegetable soups so I'm sure this is really good, Nayna, It certainly looks comforting and "creamy."
