Is anyone making soup today?

I want some soup.

do you use onions and garlic?

have to restrain ourselves from putting them in milkshakes.

sourdough rolls, and salad.

split green peas, or split yellow peas?

I made some not long ago, w/ yellow peas. It was very yummy. I don't imagine the color of the peas makes any difference, I just remember my Canadian memere using yellow.

I have made it with yellow split peas though, it might just be a psychological thing, but it seemed wrong :-).

I love soup. I make it once a week so there will be one day when we have it as leftovers. Most soups taste better the next time (except for mushroom soup, imo).

Portugese Minestrone

1/2 lb chorizo, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 or more garlic cloves, diced
1 med. onion, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 can cannellin beans (white kidney), drained
1 can whole kernel sweet corn, drained
1 small pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 celery rib, sliced
2 or 3 chicken boullion cubes
3 1/2 cups of water
1 tsp herbs d'Provence
shredded Romano cheese

Saute the first three ingedients in olive oil (enoug to cot the bottom
of the pan) until onions are transparent. Add the vegetables, water,
boullion and herbs. Simmer for 20 minutes or so or until vegetables
are tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a topping of the
cheese. Tastes good with any crusty bread.

I can't eat the crusty bread, but the rest of it should set well with me.

at the cafeteria. It's not bad.

in the crockpot thingy.

I can't wait to have a bowl and watch the debate tonight.

I made arroz con pollo. It was juicy so it is kind of like a soup.

It's starting to get colder outside and that's when I start making big pots of soup and stews that last for days. Love it!

Also time for chicken pot pies.

Ok, I'm hungry now.
