8. split pea.....

no ham this time, unfortunately, but lots of spices and carrots. I kind of just throw things in!! :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Sounds yummy!

I like a smoked ham hock, but if one doesn't have that or ham or anything, one goes with what one has. :-)

BTW, your image isn't loading, I had to grab it manually - very cute!

5. I Just Finished Making Soup with My Daughter (13 yo)

She volunteered me to make Vietnamese beef soup (pho) for her entire class. I was touched, even though it was some trouble. We got to knock around the local Korean supermarket, which she usually doesn't want to go to. And she did most of the preperation herself, so she can say "I made this" to her teacher tomorrow.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. I love Pho!!

How'd you make the broth?

What kine noodles?

And did you slice up beef really thin to serve with it? Or tripe? What?!

YUMMY!!!

Great little authentic Pho place near Chinatown in Honolulu I used to go to a lot for lunch. To die for, it was so delicious. And that's all the restaurant served.

11. Because of the Limited Time,

we just used 3 quarts of canned beef broth. Usually boil the bones and add some of that powdered stock "Sogogi Dashida."

For the noodles, we got some thin little bean threads.

For the meat, we actually got a couple of steaks, since they cheap at the Korean store. I would have made thin slices after cooking it, but she wanted to cut them into chunks.

Put about three inches of raw ginger in, six garlic cloves, some five spice, fish sauce, black pepper, bit of sugar. Toppings were cilantro, fresh basil, and chopped green onions. No mint, lime, or hot sauce.

On Edit: and BTW, if you live near an Asian grocery, it's definitely worth visiting. Some of them are small and smelly, but the ones that are full-sized grocery stores can be great sources of fresh produce, meat, and fish. Plus lot of stuff you've never seen before.

14. Great Minds Think Alike-I Made Chicken Soup Tonight

I had Leftover Roast Chicken and put it to good use.

My recipe:

Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Onions
Garlic
Celery
Chopped/shredded chicken
1/2 c. Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed
14.5 Oz Can Muir Glen Tomatoes with Italian Herbs (or Basil)
2 cups chicken stock
dried herbs like herbes de Provence
2 T. Pesto

Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Season them with salt and pepper. Do not let them brown. Pour 1 cup of stock in pan, turn heat to high and bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes (this really brings the flavor out). Add celery, can of tomatoes, remaining chicken stock and chicken. Bring to boil. Lower to simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes. Add spinach and stir in pesto at the end. Serve.

I swear it's DELICIOUS!

16. I made seafood chowder this weekend...

2 lb. chowder mix (salmon, haddock, cod, etc.)
2 qt. milk
1 can whole baby clams
1 bottle clam juice (about 12 oz.)
2 large carrots, diced
1 large onion, chopped
1 stick butter
1 pint chicken stock

Saute the onion and carrot in the butter until the onions are soft. Dump in the baby clams with their water, add the clam juice, milk, and stock, bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, add the chowder mix, and simmer on low heat for 30-45 min.

Mm-MMM GOOD.
