Soup Diary 100701

I got very excited when I started to read the daily menu at Fables this morning. The first two words I saw were "Sweet Potato" and I started to quiver with anticipation of seeing them followed by "Poblano." Longtime readers of this feature will recall that that particular concoction stands at the top of my list of great soups I've experienced at my favorite Cafe. Alas, it was not to be, as the next words were "with Chorizo." Longtime readers may also recall that I'm not a big fan of the sausage based soups (though I have had some decent ones from time to time). This combination was in the good category, though the essence of the sweet potato seemed rather subdued by the heat of the chorizo, so the balance was the opposite of what I hoped for. Still, not a bad cup of soup, and it makes me think that maybe they'll get on a sweet potato kick over the next week or so, and my favorite will finally make another appearance.
