Five Foodie Finds – soup basics.

October 16, 2020 Leave a Comment
Five Foodie Finds for Friday – soup basics.
  1. Cherry wood cooking spoon. Protect that enamel soup pot surface
  2. Pho birthday card. Extra-credit if you include a Pho gift certificate with the card.
  3. Rustic soup mug. I mean, doesn’t this mug just beg you to sit by the fire?
  4. Classic bone china soup bowl with lid. Ditch the ceramic and go with bone china.
  5. Class soup spoon.  Once you’ve splurged with a soup spoon, you can’t go back.

Raise your hand if you’ve been eating more soup lately. Go on, raise them! I can honestly say that we have not been eating more soup lately because; well… we have soup every single day. Fall, winter, spring, and summer. Every day is soup basics around here. Besides the comfort-food-factor, soup can be healthy, delicious, and easy on the budget. 

Keeping a soup pot full of tasty soup at all times gets easier to accomplish the more it becomes a habit. Every Sunday I make a chicken broth in my Instant Pot and bottle six quarts. Once the broth is ready, the Instant Pot goes back into action immediately afterward and in goes frozen and fresh veggies, barley, potatoes, and meat. Usually, ground turkey or chicken meatballs. Less than twenty minutes later, soup for Dennis’ lunches is ready for the week as well as extra shared with my mother in law.  

Since soup is my life, I thought I would share five soup basics for my foodie friends.  These links are not affiliate links and are only shared to encourage inspiration.  Cooking – and eating – is all about the little touch points of joy. A pretty stirring spoon here. A classic soup bowl there. A fun little soup-inspired birthday card for a friend.

These soup basics stir up joy with a side of fun.

Let’s get our soup on!

Warmly,

Lyndi

I’m on a veggie-kick lately, just can’t get en I’m on a veggie-kick lately, just can’t get enough! Who’s with me? I recommend foraging the crisper and start cooking! What is your favorite combo? What’s in your crisper? Let’s get you cooking!
Stuck in a breakfast rut? I've been rethinking can Stuck in a breakfast rut? I've been rethinking canned beans lately - reimagining them, so to speak. This morning I opened up a can of white northern beans and cooked it on the stove with broth, garlic, salt and pepper. Added a fresh touch of chopped parsley. ⁠
⁠
Next, I toasted sourdough bread and covered it with the bean broth and topped with two froached eggs (fried + poached) and yep, you guessed it! Added a fresh touch of chopped parsley and some parmesan.⁠
⁠
Dennis just texted me from his office and said it was "Feed Phil fist-pumping worthy!" Now, THAT's a compliment!

I also made a quick cornbread and sprinkled the chili right on top with cheese and baked it. Super yum!⁠

I know there are so many camps when it comes to chili: beans/no beans, ground beef/cubed steak, canned tomatoes/no tomatoes, onions/no onions… let me be the first to say that this chili is perfection.⁠
⁠
It seriously needs nothing else.⁠
⁠
Except for toppings and a spoon.⁠

They ship everything via Priority Mail within 24 hours so, if the USPS is working smoothly, February 1 should be a very safe ‘order by’ date. ⁠

Great news, the recipe for making their Championship Chili is right on the Pure Texan Chili Mix bag and it is sooooooo easy to make.⁠
⁠
We’re talking simple no-fuss steps: ⁠
⁠
Brown two-pounds ground beef, drain and add mix, add 8 ounces tomato sauce and 10 ounces of water. Summer very slow for 45 minutes and voila! Done!⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
