Well hello to all my foodie friends out there in Web land. I hope all is well and that all your cooking turns out, out, out. Have you tried any new recipes as yet? I try new recipes all the time. Its like a chemistry test every time because you are thinking how would this taste or pear or how would this look? In today's world am finding that anything just about goes in cooking these days, just throw out the old and come in with the new. I hope that doesn't mean that is what we do when we get old. Throw us out and start a new! Any who today just about any and everything is being tried or used which is a great thing! With the cost of food these days I like to see everyone use the leftovers they have to make other recipes. I know when I cook a roast we can get two more meals out of it. Sometimes I think its better to get a larger piece of meat and use it over and over again, kind of like an old shoe but hopefully it doesn't taste like leather. Am going to be busy this month with cooking at The Taste of Home Show in Aiken and catering. Its better to stay busy. You know the other day I bought a plant for the outside holder of my house and would you believe that that is the only plant that we have outside because my hubby has taken two and a half years to start any yard! But back to the plant, I paid like 27.00 for this plant and guess what I did it almost passed on
because I forgot to water it. I say my daughter come in with this ______ grin on her face and I said what's so funny and she says , Mom you have to water plants you know. Well I looked and it had almost left this world. However I saved it and hopefully my hubby will get busy with our yard and I'll be planting almost all the plants, I can't wait! Any who let's get back to our Cream of Broccoli soup, I do have a story with this one. I made the recipe for the show last Monday and I had two guests from French. Nice ladies. I learned alot from them about how they do their vegetables. They stream alot of foods. They also like their vegetables really, really soft and they like to taste the flavor of the vegetables. Recipe Follows:
Cream Of Broccoli Soup
2 Heads Broccoli Cut Up
1 Onion, Chopped
4 Cloves, Garlic Minced
3 T. Corn Starch
1 Stick Butter
1 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Mrs Dash
3 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
2 Cups Water
2 Cups Chicken Broth
2 Cups whole Milk or Cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 Bay Leafs
1 Cup of American Cheese ( or whatever you like)
Take the cut up Broccoli, onion, garlic, butter and place in a pan to cook. Once it starts cooking start adding the spices, bay leafs, cubes, corn starch, salt and pepper. When the broccoli is tender start adding the water and broth. When it has cooked another 20 minutes then turn down the heat and add the milk. Cook on low for about 15 more minutes. Add cheese till melted. Stir often.
Any who I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and try this soup recipe and let me know how you like it. I've enjoyed visiting with you. Happy Trails to you and yours until we meet again.
