Spicy seafood stew...

quinoa, salmon, crab, talapia, red pepper flakes, tomato, lemon juice, lime juice, habenero, anger, love, and onions?

whatever....my buds are bouncin'

It ain't soup but tonight I made fettucini with shaved asparagus and Parmesan. Garlic, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper make up the rest. Quite good eatin', might consider stirring in some Spike for a variation. Pee smells duly asparagussy afterwards.

Next time, a freer hand with the lemon zest and perhaps even more asparagus shavings -- they blend with the fettucini and reduce the quantity of carbs you take in, if this is a thing you have to keep a lid on. This is mostly a side dish unless reinforced with something like pancetti or chicken breast.

Do you use Barbasol or Gillette to shave your Asparagus?

Cutco, ektuelleh... that peeler'll plane off your knuckles or your fingernails if you don't watch out. I also zested the lemon with the peeler for big zests rather than little grated powdery ones. The recipe likes lots of garlic and plenty of lemon juice and zest. Keeps it peppy. Be generous with the cheese, too. One day I will throw in pancetti, like I said. The asparagus tops, lightly steamed, make an excellent garnish to top each serving with, and what else are you going to do with the very points of asparagus spears anyway? Really weird ice cream?

Seems to balance best with fetticine. Linguine, those noodles are too narrow.

My friend made a yummy soup for lunch today. When she gets the recipe to me, I'll share. very different fromt he soups I normally make. It had bacon in, though, so clearly a winner.

I just made Chicken Pot Pie Soup last week. It's all gone though

Pie · 03-15-2010, 05:36 PM

Green Spring Soup:

Chicken broth
Assorted spinach, asparagus, leeks, green onions, peas.
Saute veggies till just tender, add to broth. Puree half the soup. Recombine.

Use of bacon drippings in the saute is at the discretion of the cook.

Nice soup pie. It's the perfect spring soup!

Today I made Wild Rice Mushroom soup.

1 tablespoon olive oil
Half a white onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh white mushrooms
1/2 cup white wine, or 1/2 cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
2 1/2 cups low-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1 cup fat-free half-and-half
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Black pepper
1 cup cooked wild rice
( I substituted a small packaged rice mix without the spices)

Put olive oil in stockpot and bring to medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery and carrots. Cook until tender. Add mushrooms, white wine and chicken broth. Cover and heat through. In a bowl, blend half-and-half, flour, thyme and pepper. Then stir in cooked wild rice. Pour rice mixture into hot stockpot with vegetables. Cook over medium heat. Stir continually until thickened and bubbly.

( I cooked the flour in with the vegetables instead of mixing it with the milk. I used huge sliced baby bella mushrooms instead of the white and a full cup of carrots and celery each. I garnished with extra fresh thyme and black pepper)

It was awesome !
