hey, i`m so bored man : guess what i`m having clam chowder

...no money in my account, so I ate a couple of bites of Lance's Red Baron pizza and a couple slurps of his slush. When I got home from school I had a handful of nuts as a snack. Then I ran into a soup dilemma; the only soup we had was made with chicken broth, and I slurped a couple of spoonfuls but I really didn't want it. So I ended up eating more nuts and drinking some V8 Splash (Strawberry-Kiwi...

...is a delicious creation made from an October 2000 Southern Living magazine recipe posted on  myrecipes.com that was sent to me by my sister last week.  That"green goop" is called  Cream of Cilantro Soup .     My sister remembered that I had raved about a bowl of Cream of Cilantro Soup that I had over 14 years ago at a restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico.  When she saw the recipe on the website, she thought...

Yay for soup season! So I got some fresh shrimp. I'll refrain from telling you about how the ice chest leaked in my car, so then I was driving around in a cloud of rotting seafood smell, and now my backseat is airing out on my back porch, after being drenched in baking soda and vinegar water and hosed like there's no tomorrow. Yeah, I won't bore you with that story. Now back to the positive...

... plus a buttered breadcrumb topping. It was pretty popular at Pumpkin Fest. I'm going to mix the last of my butter-sauteed chanterelles into this for tonight's dinner. White Bean and (Winter Squash) Soup, also from Greens. This is a lovely hearty winter soup, and the Delicata and acorn squashes I used are slightly sweet and very nice. You make a stock from the pumpkin seeds and some other detritus...

You will need: 1 skillet 1 large soup pot 1 can chicken stock 1 can fire-roasted tomatoes As much chicken as you want in your soup 1 large onion 2 cloves garlic 1 red bell pepper 1 can Rotel peppers (if you aren't lazy like me, seed and slice up some anaheim, poblano, serrano, or jalapeno peppers) 1 tbs sour cream 2/3 c milk Shredded corn tortillas Grated monterrey jack Combine the chicken stock...

Ranuel's recipe for potato soup is most excellent. I put ham in it. I felt kind of jerky because Natalie has bronchitis, and I should have made her chicken noodle instead, but I rubbed her feet a lot, so--not too much. For weather today, we had thunderheads, lightning, rain and a little hail, followed by cloudy and warmer. I'm talking about the weather inside, brought to you by poor communication...

As always, I made too much food. I will be eating soup all week for lunch, but I think the soups turned out really well. My old standbys, beef stew and carrot soup, were delicious, as usual, but I thought the Italian wedding soup was a sleeper hit for me. This was the first time I cooked with escarole and I loved it. The escarole was tender, but kept its shape and did not turn to mush like spinach...

I first got the idea to make this soup because I’d had it at Olive Garden and really liked it a lot. So I went into the scary world of the Intarwebz!! *spooky fingers and ominous tones implied* I found a recipe that claimed to be just like Olive Gardens and seemed simple enough. It was ok. Not great, kinda mediocre, but it showed promise. I knew what I needed to do to make...

...Vartha, are having great fun with the boxes--They were obviously delivered to the apartment exclusively for their potential utility as cat toys. 4. I am finishing up some homemade vegetable turkey soup. Briefly, in the making, it was vegetable-mystery meat soup. When I started to make the soup, I rummaged around in the freezer for some cooked chicken I thought I had frozen. I guess maybe I froze...
