I absolutely love soup all year round. It’s delicious comfort food.
I also absolutely am horrible at photographing soup. It’s so hard!! Argh.
I love cooking, baking, writing, eating, and blogging. I dislike photography. There, I admitted it.
I do love my iPhone and Instagram though. I got my iPhone 4 last month and am really digging the camera apps. So maybe I’m sloooooowly getting into photography.
I couldn’t invest in a DSLR camera at this point though. I’m too afraid that I’d shell out all that dough and not use the dang thing.
Also, how do you let this delicious soup get cold while you style it?!?! I’m more interesting in EATING the food than taking pictures of it. I should probably eat, then style/photograph after I’m full. But that just makes too much sense for me to do, ha!
What was my point? My point is….this soup rocks!! Don’t let the pitiful pictures throw you.
P.S. If you want to know how to rock out soup/stew photography, check out Nancy at Spice Foodie’s awesome tutorial! I wish she could take all my pictures!
Pumpkin Curry Soup

1 1/2 cups evaporated milk

In a large pot, add the butter, onion and garlic. Cook until onions are soft.
Stir in the curry, salt, and pepper and cook for one minute.
Add in the chicken broth and pumpkin. Bring soup to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes.
Stir in evaporated milk just before serving.
Since I feel photos are so important to accompany recipes, I can’t exactly HATE that I have to take them for my own recipes, but I would much rather not. It sucks major butt cheeks. I agree that soups are hard to photograph. I do NOT want to sit there styling a photo to make it look attractive while the soup is getting cold. You might notice that every single food pic I take is pictured by itself with a plain background. That’s all I have patience for-lol. Anyway, I love the sound of this soup and to me, it looks really good. Pinned!
I attempted to do real “photo shoots” during the holidays but that was b/c I had just gotten a mini photo studio (which I haven’t used since then). That being said, I rarely have the time to take to get a nicely styled, imaginative, good food shot. (That is obvious at my blog!) I love the color of this soup and your recipe sounds delicious. As always, I am thinking, “Can I make that with sweet potatoes?”
