Soup Weather
Jim & Jinx sent me 4 soup mixes for christmas. Holiday, harvest, hearty and cream of tater. The holiday is great, tomorrow I'll try the harvest.
The ingredients for mix are here. I also fixed the sweet tater dish, posted by zippy here. I know it's colder in lots of places, but this ain't the midwest. If it stays this cold for a few days, may not have city water. Lines are not buried deep enough.

My wife's other job is as a cook at a coffeehouse/vegetarian restaurant. She brought home some delicious tomato bisque that I'll eat tomorrow. Temps are supposed to fall here tomorrow...below zero tomorrow night.

Damn, buster! It ain't supposed to be that cold where you are. Where's Al Gore when you need him?

I follow a basic recipe, but somehow it always turns out different than the last time. Maybe I shouldn't drink when I cook. |

The bisque was delicious...I put a little Crystal hot sauce in and threw some tortilla strips on top. Unfortunately, we had no croutons.

Currently a chicken/mushroom/potato/onion is in the final stages. I'll let you know how it was...smells OK right now, but it's amazing how I can ruin stuff in the final moments without even trying....

Anyone ever hear of 'gruel'? Growing up my great granny called it the poor man's soup. It was made with corn meal, lots of butter, salt and pepper, and if we were lucky would have some type of chicken or other meat in it.

Gruel was what the thin porridge/broth was called in 18th/19th century England. Made famous by Oliver Twist it was a staple of the workhouse diet. It had a few other names, that i can't recall now, that were more commonly used in workhouse dietaries.

Oh, but nowadays they call it "polenta" and it's a fancy delicacy.
