I'm a big fan of soup. The heartier the better. And frankly, I also love broth. This is not a wonderful subject to start my blog out with, but oh well. I just made some ham and green bean soup yesterday. I like to add potatoes and I like to make it with a creamier broth. My wonderful father-law taught me a wonderful trick to thickening soups. Just add instant mashed potato mix. Plain or flavored. I personally like garlic and herb. I love to cook, but hate baking. Baking is a science--with exact timing and precise measuring involved. I hated science in school. My mind meanders too much. I was mostly a loner, always wandering. I suppose that's why I like soup. You can have a general idea of what you want to put in a soup and end up with something completely different in the end. And hopefully it all turns out delicious. Next venture: some Thai or Korean soup. I'm hankering for something spicy. It's getting cold in PA. Lots of rain lately. It's definitely soup time.
I agree, it is definitely soup season! I vote for Thai soup next! I am looking forward to your blog and looking even more forward to taste testing! YUMS!
ReplyDeleteI love soup! I would like a nice recipe for thai soup, too. I recently made a delicious roasted squash soup. I roasted an acorn squash and a butternut squash, added vegetable stock, super skim milk, salt, pepper, a little fresh nutmeg. Then I cooked a little quinoa and served the soup over the grain, delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat soup sounds wonderful Barb. I will have to try it sometime. And thanks for following my blog ladies. I definitely agree on the Thai soup! I will post when I find and make the perfect recipe.
