That looks gorgeous! I just bought myself some saffron threads for the first time, maybe I should make this!
What a great dish! Looks so comforting!
Another very interesting dish beautifully photographed! Sounds delicious.
As soon as I read saffron, it clicked with me:) We use it a lot in our cuisine and I love it. This looks like a great meal. Although, forgive my ignorance – is this a sort of soup or an appetizer, or? Please educate me. I love the picture!!! Oh, how funny you say smetana too, we say smetana too in Russian. Although it is different in Azeri, we are still used to saying some words in Russian, like in case with smetana:)
Thank you all for your comments!Farida, when S&P sent me the recipe I too was suprised and at first didn’t know what potage is. I Googled it and discovered it’s a mushy medieval dish that is in a category of soups and stews.And about smetana :). I learned Russian at school. Our word is mileram and it’s similar to sour cream, but still, slightly different.
Thank you, Marija, for enlightening me:) This is a great recipe!
Hi Marija,Thanks for the submission! I love the bright colors of this dish. I had no idea what a potage was either! :P
What a glorious coloured soup and beautiful presentation!
As fall approaches in New England, this Saffron Potage looks like the perfect dish for the coming months. Your photo is beautiful as well!
