Min chili / My chili

Til min fødselsdag fik jeg en chili-plante. Med spiselige chilier! På et tidspunkt skulle jeg jo begynde at spise af dem, og i går gik starten så.....

For my birthday I had a chili-plant. With eatable chilies! At some point I had to start eating them, and yesterday I started harvesting......

Der var købt ind til suppe med butternutsquash, søde kartofler, diverse samt kokosmælk og chili. Ingredienserne var meget dekorative!

The ingredients were ready for soup made on butternut-squash, sweet potatoes, different vegetables/spices with coconut milk and chili. The ingredients looked very pretty!

Det gjorde det sådan set også i gryden. Men ikke, da jeg kom til at stikke min chili-saft-indsmurte finger i øjet. Fy da føj, hvor var det ubehageligt! Endda selv om den var vasket et par gange.

It looked the same way in the pot. But it wasn't very pretty when I put my chili-juice-filled finger in my eye. Yikes! It was really unpleasant! Even though the finger had been washed a few times.

Den færdige suppe var både meget flot i farven og smagte tæske-godt. Og ved I, hvad det bedste er? Der er rester til i aften!

The finished soup had a very nice color and tasted incredibly good. And do you know the best? I have enough for tonight as well!

Opskriften var herfra. Købt i Føtex engang i foråret. Nu har jeg prøvet 2 opskrifter, der begge var en succes, og jeg tror nok lige, jeg skal have bladret i den igen, for den chili har mange frugter! (Og selv om der kun kom 2 bette chilier i suppen smagte den skam som den skulle....)

The recipe was from this book. Bought in a supermarket this spring. I've tried 2 different recipes, and both were very nice, so I guess I need to look through it again. That chili thing sure has a lot of fruits! (And even though I only used 2 tiny chilies for the soup, it did taste very authentic.....)
