I received an exclusive complimentary hamper from Lazy Gourmet right after my trip from Japan. Timing has never been better, as I was as lazy as ever.
I've always been a great fan of the Les Amis Group & I enjoy dining at Au Jardin, Le Amis & La Strada but Lazy Gourmet is my first. I normally prefer cooking from scratch & don't usually use ready-made soup, sauces etc. But Lazy Gourmet, created by the Head Chefs of the restaurants in the Les Amis group, seemed to good to be true & I just have to try it.
I was excited opening up the hamper. I found soups, pasta sauces & main courses, 3 of each nicely packed in boxes. I was feeling really lazy this morning, probably still suffering from "jet-lag". LOL! I took out the Country-style Mushroom Soup & read the instructions indicated at the back of the box.
The steps seemed simple. There were 3 methods to enjoy the sumptuous meal. I opted for the easiest: defrost the package in the microwave, transfer into bowl & heat. I found some Okra or ladyfingers in my fridge so I cut them up & added into the soup & heat together. Within minutes, I've got my yummy Country-style Mushroom Soup with Okra! The soup was flavourful & packed a punch. The okra went well with the soup & gave it an additional crunch. Mmmm...... love it!
