Tips for garnishing your soup

While a simple bowl of soup is warm and tasty, Devin showed us some tricks to make your soup beautiful and eye-catching:

• Have you ever tried frying thyme sprigs before? Crispy thyme leaves add fragrance and texture, and are visually striking by creating sharp right angles on the soup’s surface.

• Soup garnishes often reflect the soup’s flavor, so why not try some crunchy, caramelized sprout leaves? Devin adds, once you roast the Brussels sprouts, they ‘add a very good dimension to the soup’ through their charred smokey flavor.

• A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil full of freshness to off-set the rich cheese.

• A sprinkling of micro herbs – if you’re feeling fancy!
