Last Night’s Soup

 

 

soup

 

Late last night I took a bad photo of this delicious soup that I made. Those of who know French Husband know that he eats anything, always cleans his plate, never complains, inhales his food at a nerve-wracking rate and if you ask him what he ate or what it taste like he usually says, "Delicious and banana." In fact, he says everything tastes like banana, of course, he says that in jest, but it simply means he inhaled it and did not taste it.

I am happy he never complains, loves to eat and is easy to cook for.

 Last night's soup was no exception to his usual behavior. An error of mine is that I cook without a plan or a recipe. French Husband sweetly chides, "Oh please tell me you know how to make this again?" In which case I then try to make it three or four times in a row just to remember it.

Last night's soup started with…

A fresh head of broccoli

Several green onions, green and all

Three carrots

I had a baby size zucchini and a hand full of lamb's lettuce (Annie would say, "When you are making soup at some lettuce.") so they joined their friends

Celery salt

A clove of garlic

A bunch of parsley

No broth, though water barely covering, bring to a boil and then simmered until tender.

Before emulsifying

 add a spoonful of almond butter, cardamon

and cardamon,

Followed by a fourth of a cup of coconut milk.

Serve hot.

Oh so yum.

  1. It sounds Thai inspired, with the coconut milk.
    Oh Annie, dear Annie. It’s been a while since I thought of her.

  2. I’m still hoping that Corey will compile a “Book of Annie.”

    Using almond butter, cardemom and cococut milk…that’s genius. And yes, a book of Annie…please

  4. Yes…a book of Annie please…
    Soup sounds Delish!

  5. Another wonderful Corey recipe to use and save in my Corey file – and yes, yes, please a book of Annie…and not forgetting how much a book of Corey recipes would be a delight.

  6. Yes please a book about Annie. Miss hearing about her.

    You could almost turn me into a vegan…but I need to start stocking some of these “strange” ingredients such as almond butter and coconut milk. Think I might actually have some cardamom…and, yes, Annie. I just got a warm feeling when I saw her name. What a wonderful legacy she left us through you!

  8. Re almond butter: Even decades ago, my father bought it at Trader Joe’s, back when the chain had just a few stores in California (he loved AB and my homemade black-raspberry jelly for sandwiches). Now TJ’s all over the country.
