Chowdah.
A riff on Mexican posole. Chicken, hominy, stock, garlic, ancho chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, with romano beans, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms.
Looks so good. Love a chicken soup that’s heavy on the carrots. I like lots of of spinach too.
Rainy days “Dashi and ramen noodles” with dried mushrooms. I made more dashi, finally used some dried mushrooms. Not bad, but now I’m wondering about soba noodles.
beef and rice Kharcho soup. I added water, bay leaf, celery, carrot, mushroom, rice to some leftover stew. Added chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
I attempted to make crab soup with some frozen crabmeat and it was a bust. It wasn’t the crab. I used a jar of this
As the base, as an (expensive) experiment. I tasted the soup first, it was tomatoey and almost vinaigrey tart, but I figured I could fix it. I couldn’t. Before additions:
After additions (I tried everything: a dash of sugar, some sherry, a little fat ,some heavy cream, Worcester sauce…crab seasoning of course, celery salt, a pinch of nutmeg- it looked like my regular crab soup, but dang it certainly didn’t taste like it.
I’ll stick to my old cheat next time. I downed a big bowl, but I suspect I won’t go near the rest
Ugh! Hate it when that happens, wasting perfectly good food.
Lesson learned, I guess. Thanks for sharing & warning any of us who might consider buying this product.
Hope your next meal is extra yummy!
The soup is boutique expensive. I know nothing of the man behind it. It just didn’t work for my purposes. Wrong flavor profile. Which is as much on me as on the soup.
Chicken noodle soup with mushrooms and Serbian paprika. I used about half a dozen small containers of frozen home-made chicken broth, and 3 leftover chicken thighs to make this soup for dinner tonight.
