Secret Cooking Tips Files: Soup | bakingnotwriting

It?s that time of year again ? when a not-so-young girl?s fancy turns to making soups and stews. I briefly flirted with millet last year ? good for you, high in protein, etc. ? so I have some left over I need to use up.

Go here to find my millet soup recipe.

Here?s the secret tip you were promised, however:

?When making soup, if the end product is shva (Yiddish for ?meh?), try putting the whole thing into the blender (or food processor, if you have a much bigger kitchen than me). I find that a boring vegetable soup will have added body and a sudden interesting creaminess, post pur?eing, that just can?t be beat.

I like to chop and add whatever is in the fridge. Remember to use the leaves too if you are including celery, for a more vivid flavor. But soup is so fool proof. Don?t be afraid to go for it. If you have a leftover bottle of wine or beer you aren?t planning to drink, you have to make soup ? or stew! It?s illegal not to in some states.

Don?t forget to vote, by the way. Apparently, if Florida in ?08 is any measure, every single vote does actually count.
