I came across it as a throwaway piece of stage setting in a science fiction novel, of all places, and have been trying to create it ever since. I originally wanted to have a thin soup mixed into a thick one, but that unquestionably didn't work. It just made the thick soup watery, and the thin one disappeared. So now, when I remember, I think about combining two thick soups. I have actually tried combining zucchini and pumpkin soups, but that was too bitter. The zucchini and pear soup might be sweet enough, though. Claudia, it’s not my idea.

Eggplant and portabella mushroms might go well together - if you don't clean the 'shrooms well, they'd both provide a dismal gray color to the soup. :) The pear and zucchini one sounds great and so does the butternut one.

Do you think the butternut soup and the zucchini soup would taste right if swirled into each other a bit? I ask because I'm always looking for two soups that could be sort of marbleized into each other to look lovely without tasting wierd. And I've never found them.... They all look and sound gorgeous.

They all look so good. Question about the eggplant.....are the skins noticable if you don't peel them? I've never had eggplant before and wonder if they're like pepper skins, a real pain in the arse if they're not removed before being pureed. Great job! What a great triple whammy! They all look so good.
