Triple mushroom chicken soup with spices and herbs

Mains

Mixed greens salad, steamed cauliflower, thyme roasted potatoes*, roasted turkey with chestnut stuffing and cranberry sauce, champagne ham* with pineapple puree

Drinks

White wine (2010)

Roast turkey on the dinner table is as festive as the Lim residence gets this time of year. If I were to turn the festivities a notch lower, it only looks like a more elaborate version of our weekly Sunday dinners because Mum likes doing western on weekends.

We started preparations right after lunch. Soup was impromtu, it was only after we had the double mushroom chicken soup from Cedele that we decided to create our own interpretation of it. Turned out pretty damn good, had seconds and thirds and leftovers the next morning. We pureed the pineapple and did the cranberry sauce, mashed the chestnuts for stuffing and roasted the potatoes and garlic, popped the turkey into the oven, washed the salad greens, mixed in other things and finally steamed the cauliflower. The table was set at 6:30PM and we dug right in.

I hope everyone had a jolly good time this Christmas with their loved ones and a good feast! Happy holidays guys!
