Soup, Soup.....

Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.

I can't make soup at all - that's why I eat the stuff that comes out of the can. I don't know what Ludwig would make of that.

Hello, Magi.....soup is easy to make...throw away the can opener....

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Oct 30, 2009, 4:48am EDT

I can't do that, Sonia. The can opener is my security blanket!

Magi....you didn't fess up and tell Sonia how you bought 36 cans of soup weeks before I came to Oz so that we could eat when I got there.

I'm actually going to try making some of these so that when Mag comes to the States, he will see the benefits to throwing away his can opener.

Sonia M. Oct 30, 2009, 12:24pm EDT

That would be cool, Bob....but it would be better if I could go to Oz so that I could guide Magi around his kitchen and show him how easy it is to put a few things together, add water and cook....;-) Don't I wish!

It would be better if you came and explained the mysteries of the kitchen, Sonia. However, I have can opener and will travel. LOL

Magi my dear.....if you travel to Hawaii, at least anywhere near my neighborhood I assure you, you will NOT need a can opener....

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Oct 31, 2009, 4:56am EDT

Hawaii is almost a world away from me, living as I do on the west coast of Australia. However, should I visit there I will leave me trusty opener at home. LOL

I appreciate your confidence in my abilities to feed you without having to open cans......unless it is an ingredient that absolutely has to be in a can....but I'm confident I can feed you well w/o a can in sight....
;-)

I think you could even do wonders with loaves and fishes, Sonia. LOL

Sonia M. Oct 31, 2009, 5:54pm EDT

LOL....maybe so.....but I can't walk on water.....

LOL Sonia - soup and I have a - let us say - uneven relationship... But yours sound good!

Sonia M. Oct 30, 2009, 12:27pm EDT

Cristina.....I love soups and could eat them (and bread and milk) every day....

In fact, in our home in Cuba, when my grandmother Mama Benita lived with us, soup was served always as a first course....you would think I would have rebelled at some point but I guess I didn't...

My favorites are cream soups, but I like cold summer soups and hearty winter soups also.....

I love soup, especially in the winter!
I make big batches and freeze it in smallish containers.

Sonia M. Oct 31, 2009, 1:27pm EDT

I love soups any time of year, Cena......I too make enough most of the time to freeze in 2 serving batches

This afternoon/evening I used the link and made the cream of mushroom soup.
Sorry that I had to use canned broth. Still it is the best recipie, and made the best cream of mushroom soup I have ever made.
Next time I buy mushrooms I will pick up some beef with bone to make a good beef broth first!

Sonia M. Nov 1, 2009, 12:02pm EST

Glad you liked it. Cena. I love that soup and it is so easy to make.
I sometimes resort to canned or boxed broth when I run out of my homemade in my freezer,....we always keep a few cans for our Emergency or Storm Closet....but I buy the one with less sodium and no MSG.
