I should just rename this damn thing the soup blog. (Slog? Plog?)
Last night, corn chile turkey chowder. This was a total salvage operation, and yet still turned out quite good. How to make it:
Take 1 bag frozen corn that you've forgotten about for 2 years from the corner of your freezer.
Dump it into a pot with a little water and boil until its unfrozen.
Add some salt and pepper, and a little chopped green chile.
Put half of it in a blender with 1/4c heavy cream. Blend, and dump back into pot, adding water to thin.
Add 1 container frozen turkey meat from thanksgiving. Stir until it warmed through.
Eat immediately, or package up for work lunches.
The corn was awful looking when it went into the pot - shriveled and not smelling very good (but note, it did not REEK of freezer burn, just smelled a little off. Even I know *that* difference....). The turkey even looked a little dry and near the end of its freezer life. But add some top quality (Strauss family creamery) cream to the mix, don't over complicate the ingredients list, and things really come around.

Just in case you needed to get some extra protein into your rice pudding....
DO NOT add whey protein (especially vanilla flavored) to your rice pudding. Ick. Blech. Yeah, sure, you get extra protein, but ..... GACK!
Never again,

I've made several new soups over the past few weeks, thanks to a glut of veggies.
Los Poblanos organics is a farm and CSA in Albuquerque, and they offer a very laid back arrangement: you can purchase a weekly basket of produce for $25, which they say is enough for meals for a family of 4 for a week. Many CSAs force you to buy shares a season or an entire year at a time, but not Los Poblanos - week by week is fine with them, or you can buy 10 weeks in advance and get the 11th free. You can even get your basket every other week, and they don't complain one little bit. AND, you can see on the website 2 days in advance what will be in the basket that week. Love them!
