The Lord of the Rings: Eowyn’s Soup for Aragon
Eowyn: I made some stew, it isn’t mush but it’s hot.
Aragon: Thank you… it’s good…
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
I’m sure those who are familar with The Lord of the Rings movies cringed at the scene between Eowyn and Aragon when she handed him soup with what seemed to consist of a few bits of greens and pieces of fat. There wasn’t much for her to work so you can’t blame the girl for trying! For this recipe, I have a considerably better version of Eowyn’s soup. I’m not usually a fan of fish soup but I really enjoyed it with the potatoes and leeks. Enjoy!
