lol we are slow to adapt us irish, so all this kale and spices and terragon or whatever is lost. cabbage, bacon, eggs, potatoes, chicken, bit of beef, carrot, maybe a turnip. Gets a bit fancy if you add some shrimp or stroganoff juice lol
Im a soup goddess though - i can make a soup out of nothing. My best i think is my cabbage and bacon, or my potato and leek. My pea and ham is pretty good too...the secret is always spuds! no soup is good without a spud...
AAAAAAAHHHHHH....Do Tell!! (as they say in North Carolina) I'm needing to do more soups now, as our recently arrived refugee niece is a teenager...and favorite words are "I'm hungry." Fortunately, she's not picky like my husband. She does, however, have a VERY sensitive stomach. (Inherited disorder??) Any stress, and she complains of stomach pains. Guess what happens during school days? Ill in the morning...poor little thing. Between new country, new customs, new language and living with people she doesn't really know I can't blame her.
It's been 12 years since she last saw her uncle, so the amount of trust she's willing to gives us is humbling.
That's why I'd like to acquire your soup goddess recipes! Simple, stretches a $, tasty. And Ingrid has never met a spud she didn't like.
Yesterday is the first time in 5 years I didn't make a Thanksgiving spread. We went to a cousins' home and enjoyed turkey and traditional Salvadorean side dishes. My favorite was
remolacha. It is a potato salad dish made with:
Potatoes, canned and drained beets, mayonnaise, mustard, finely minced onion, chopped boiled egg and sliced olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I hope I'm remembering it correctly.
Slice the potatoes and beets (after boiling the potatoes to done without being too soft) then add all other ingredients. My lupus causes me to suffer from pernicious anemia and I know that beets are an excellent source of iron and other vitamins. They taste like eating dirt! (Foodies say "an EARTHY flavor", I've learned that's foodie code for D-I-R-T.
) So this excellent recipe gives me a great way to eat healthy and not taste dirt. YAHOO BUCKEROO. LOL
