Asparagus soup recipe

Sounds delish already. I'll sub organic broth for the chicken stock. Stock has about 27# of salt in it.

Now put the soup

Howzbout a paint strainer funnel? works for me.

OH, yeah!

I'll try that and cumin to see which works better.

I'm single. I do all my own cooking, too.

Unless you can puree the soup exceedingly fine I don't think the paint strainer funnel will work. But try it anyway. Organic chicken stock may contain as much salt as non-organic. If you make your own then you can control the salt. If I need chicken flavoring in a hurry I figured out a way to make some. Cut up very fine or grind some chicken. About an ounce. Cook until really brown in a little olive oil. Then grind the cooked, crisp chicken in a mortar and pestle until basically oily chicken dust. This will strongly flavor about 1 cup of water or milk for gravy or some bechamel for a chicken pie. Eric

I don't use the entire stalk, so I usually avoid the majority of fibers as a standard practice. I also try to buy thin, tender stalks so they are less fibrous to begin with.

I'll likely retain some unfiltered soup as I prefer lumpy soup.

I'm working on some chicken chili soup now. It's 1.5 gallons of your everyday vegetable and barley soup with a can of chili and several spiced/baked chicken breasts diced and tossed in. I made it Thursday and froze most of it. I use fresh broccoli, bok choy, cauliflower, carrots, celery, a diced onion, some Fred Meyer soup mix (alphabet pasta, red and green lentils, barley, and several types of beans.) I add enough Bragg's amino acids for the salt content (1/3 that of soy sauce), garlic powder, cumin, a bit of curry powder, some sesame seeds, and pepper. The finish is a can of coconut milk, added after the heat is removed. I make it thick, then thin during the warmup. In all, it's on the stove about 4 hours so flavors blend nicely. The pasta and lentils soak in broth overnight so they cook completely without too high a temp.

I buy organic BROTH, not stock, and get the low-sodium version for $2 a quart. I use maybe 3 or 4 of those a year.

And only takes an hour to make!

More like 15 minutes. Less time for me than going to the store. And you can choose to leave fibers in the soup but they get stuck in your teeth. Lumpy doesn't describe this soup when poorly filtered. Eric

Where'd the rest of the chick'n go?

Is that with the bones, too? Powdered bones might taste alright. Bone meal?

The important question, does your pee still stink if you filter the asparagus well?

I keep both Beef & Chicken broth in the pantry and buy them a dozen cans at a time. I can't remember the last time I ran to the store for a single item.

Do you offer classes? Id be happy to send my wife and DIL

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

No, but I can reccomend the 'School of Hard Knocks'.

I buy most non perishables by the tray, or carton. I asked the manager of Save-A-Lot to order extras for me, so I can get unopened bulk items like an eight pack of soda in two liter bottles. I shop at Sam's Club about once a month, and generally only go shopping two or three times a month. I save a lot of miles on the old truck that way. My rule of thumb is, 'If something is down to half the bulk package, get another.' A few are allowed to go down to a quarter, but they are large or not used as often.

Yes.

That's absolutely the best question I forgot to ask him, too, Karl. I await the answer with baited breath. (salmon patties for lunch)

I hve over 100 spare light bulbs. I bought them before they went from 4/$1 to $2 each. I buy most hardware by the box/bag/bundle. When I had the electronics shop, I bought most components the same way. 5, 25,

Pete, you're gonna be in a world of shit when (not if) the SHTF. Get a bit more stock now, before it's too late. Cycle through it so the older stock is used first.

When the SHTF, we might not _have_ lights. Stock up.
