Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price… but I see the word ‘coconut’ and I can’t resist.

    I agree that people need to know, but you can be allergic to so many foods. I’m allergic to pomegranate, but I would rarely expect to encounter pomegranate where it wouldn’t normally be.

    I guess the ‘no celery’ thing makes sense, but why would you put mustard in coconut carrot soup in the first place? I kind of feel like they might as well have put ‘no peanuts’ on there too. I’m betting a peanut allergy is far, far, far more common than a mustard allergy.

      Mustard is an amazing spice to use (along with others) when roasting carrots. I’m sure mustard (as long as you’re not allergic) would be a valuable addition to a carrot soup. OP commented the soup was meh. It probably was lacking in spices.

        I am the OP and it was, indeed, lacking in spices. But I would also not want to add the flavor of mustard to the flavor of coconut.

        Although I will say that my biggest complaint was that it could have had more coconut flavor.

      So I don’t know coconut carrot soup, but I put mustard seed in my tomato soup (I know it sounds weird, but I have a recipe I’ve been developing for years)

        I would give that a try, but I just could not imagine coconut and mustard being a good flavor combo.

        I’ve heard weirder though. A friend of mine announced on social media that he decided to put chicken stock in his coffee and said he really liked it. I have odd friends.

          If I remember, i’ll try to take pictures because it is one of those recipes I invented myself without measuring spoons. One step is: pour out a 3cm diameter circle of mustard seed into your mortar, then half-heartedly pestle the shit out of it because it’s delightful to get a mustard pop in the middle of your soup. The rest is just “add spices and wait for the damn can to heat up” because it’s a lazy recipe.

      Mustard belongs nowhere. It should not exist. It is an affront to God. I want this label placed on all food.

        Hard disagree. Like I can understand not liking the incredibly strong vinegar and mustard condiment combination but mustard itself is a seasoning that is used in lots of different dishes and can be very delicious without any of the zest of yellow mustard sauce.
