    ok, i really need some help here

    i spent all my money (yes, i am a student) on veg to make soup to last me for the week...

    but i tried a new recipe...

    ended up with something akin to rosemary soup with a vegetable texture!

    help help help!

    i just realised i dont like rosemary, but cant afford to start over

    is there anything i can add that will mask the taste?

    :(:confused: :dunno:

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Yum, rosemary is great!

    Am not an expert but why not blast it with pepper spicyness?

    Sorry, no help at all.

    potatos soak up flavor cook a few in the soup and then take em out. the potatos will also ad thickness so now you can afford to dilute the soup with wated which will futher remove the rosemary taste.

    thanks for the suggestion, and a mighty fine one it sounds too...

    only one problem...i've no spuds...and no money to buy spuds... :(

    keep it coming with the suggestions please, sooner or later someone will say something that i have in my cupboard.

    i was thinking, and tell me (soon, before i try it) if im wrong, but how about i add a load of red wine (got some of that in the cupboard!!!) to it? will that deaden the flavour of the rosemary. and then maybe add a couple of extra chicken stock cubes...so it wont just be wine and veg and rosemary, it'll be chickeny too??

    Eat the soup with a clothespeg on you nose. You won't taste anything. Remove clothespeg and drink a glass of wine immediately to remove any aftertaste.
