DH thinks this soup looks disgusting

[Lentilsoupdrama]

I made this soup yesterday for lunch, and DH thought it looked 'disgusting' . It's just lentils, onion, mixed frozen veg. I having it for lunch again, the kids liked dipping bread in it. It tasted really nice

Soup - especially homemade - rarely looks appealing. I think when it has chunks of veg in, it's a bit too close to vomit (sorry)

That looks hideous, sorry OP

He's right. It does look disgusting and while it might taste lovely the look would put me off. I don't think he's childish to say so.

Don't do "lumpy" soup, so agree with your DH. Soft mushy vegetables are even worse!

I get around this by adding tumeric, red paprika, or tomato puree, just to improve the colour.

DH is still a tit though.

It's not what it looks like...it's what it tastes like! That's what I tell the kids

Well, he's right - it doesn't look very appealing. It's an unpleasant colour and that's a huge piece of broccoli!

But that has nothing to do with how it tastes., though.

Soup generally doesn't look that appetising (to me) unless it's blended. After all, it's just bits of veg floating around in an often oddly coloured and slightly lumpy liquid - there's a reason they use vegetable soup on films to replicate vomit! It doesn't mean it's not bloody delicious.

Mushy veg though? That's a travesty!

I have to say it doesn't exactly look mouth watering.

And he’d be right. 🤣🤣🤣

It looks fine i dont understand the random brocolli I would drop that or burn my mouth trying to eat it

Sorry it looks awful to me but the taste is what's important!

I'm with your DH, it looks like left over veg that you've poured some stock on top of, which admittedly soup often is but I would have blitzed it up.

Sorry but that does not look appetising to me personally. I've seen a lot of bad food photos recently though and people saying they look nice/yummy, so obviously everyone's tastes vary wildly and also it could just be a badly lit pic etc.

Lordy, that looks like something out of Horrible Histories.

I'd have blended it.

I am sure it tastes good though regardless.

It's just the colour, like a muddy puddle! 😜

It looks a bit like vomit

It doesn't look appealing at all, but I find most soups don't.
Mushy broccoli sounds unpleasant too though.

Sorry, OP, with your dh on this one it looks like a muddy puddle with vegetation in it.

This reminds me of when SIL posted that she had made a delicious homemade vegetable soup and DS who was visiting at the time came home and told me about the horrible looking soup his aunt had made

Soup always looks disgusting. Doesn't affect the taste one iota.

Soup should not have chunks of broccoli that big.

Why wouldn't you blend it at least so its uniform?

Soup always looks disgusting

No it doesn't.
