Pickle Soup

Apparently when I get hungry I have to talk about it...
There I was chattering on about food at work when my current roommate told me about Pickle Soup.  After I finished throwing up in my mouth a little at the very thought I tuned back in to hear him say that he had tried the soup at Continental Treat on Whyte Ave in Edmonton.

You can see the original recipe here:

I knew that I had finally gotten past my sordid Kraft Dinner past when a few moments later I had the urge to make this soup.

It came together really quickly.  Mr Picky came in as I was shredding the pickles and decided right then and there that whatever I was making would be gross.

Miss Almost Vegetarian pranced in after her brother and begged a pickle off me.  She bounced up and down in excitement with the thought that our soup would have pickles in it.

Upon his first bite Mr Picky declared the soup to be "really good" but with each successive bite he got a bigger grimace on his face until he finally begged to be let loose from this torture.

Miss Almost Vegetarian suspiciously eyeballed the green floating things in the soup and had to be convinced to take a bite.  Once she tried it though she finished her bowl quite happily.

Husband of Cheerios and I both enjoyed this soup.  It was not as pickle-y as we thought it might be.  We WILL make this soup again but will add more vegetables for a heartier soup.

I brought some soup to my roommate Seth and he thought it was good too.  He couldn't remember if it tasted the same as the soup from the restaurant.  Now I'm going to have to make it again and plan for a lunch out to compare.
