 Coffee Soup

 

Probably a very stupid idea and a waste of a good coffee, but some things just have to be tried once. Unless of course you live in Corbridge.

Ingredients

To produce take 25g of quality instant coffee, 500ml of still mineral water, 50ml of double cream, a dash of kahula, a vanilla pod and a sprinkling each of grated dark chocolate and brown sugar.

 Method

Heat the water in a pan. When just simmering add the coffee. Stir until dissolved. Split the vanilla pod and add to the pan. Simmer for 15 minuets, allowing the flavours to infuse and the liquid to reduce. Remove from the heat. Strain. Pour into a large soup mug. Mix the cream and kahula together. Whisk until thickened. Spoon over the coffee. Garnish with the grated chocolate and brown sugar. Serve with shortbread. Yummy. Oh, and yes Elizabeth it is true, a soup made from coffee.
