And now for something completely different...

We interrupt this long overdue retelling of summer events to bring you the latest in autumn/winter soup technology.

Not exactly sure what kind of pork it was - slightly sweetened, kind of sausage-like. But delicious. For those of you who don't eat pork (or meat) you'll have to find a suitable substitute. I was given the pork and I had some good apples, and read somewhere that pork and apples go well together. Thought sweet potatoes would be good as well, and it turned out that way. Anyway, to the recipe.

In a pot, melt some butter/margarine, and fry an onion and a bunch of garlic with salt and pepper. I'd recommend chopping the onion and garlic, but whatever works for you. Add in the pork and some honey. Cook for a few minutes while chopping the sweet potatoes. Add the sweet potatoes, and cover with water and a couple of bouillon cubes. Add in some cheese. Toss in a couple of bay leaves.  A dash of cinnamon is optional, and may depend on exactly what kind of pork you got. Chop the carrots, add them in. Chop the apples and add them. Chop the mikan (I'd also recommend peeling them first, but again, your choice.) and add them. Cook until the chunks of apple are dissolved. Burn your tongue. Wait a minute or two. Burn your tongue again. Enjoy.

For those of you who are fussy about proportions, here are the quantities of ingredients in the order in which they are mentioned: some, 1, 5, some, some, some, some, 3, enough, a couple, some, 2, a dash, 2, 3 and 3.
