Soup(s)

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

It's getting cold, at least in some places, and it's time to make soup!


Soup has to be one of the easiest things to make, and possibly eat, on this entire planet (With the exception of the PB&J). One of the best things about soup is you can put just about ANYTHING into it. Go digging! Let's see what is hiding in our fridge and, with the exception of desert type stuff, throw it in! You take a really big pot, fill it with a ton of water then start dropping whatever it is your found, into it.

I've seen some rather interesting things come from this event, not all of them good, but watch out for problems. A common being that fruit must be paired correctly with its veggies and meat. Most veggies and meat can just randomly get thrown together with other things to have no harm but fruit, don't work that way. (Yes, you can put fruit in soup.)

Simple Warning: Bake or broil your fruit stuffs before throwing them into a soup, or stew, to prevent from problems of the health nature. Anyway, this post had a main point but it seems lost.

EAT YOUR SOUP!

Something Interesting

Tomato soup, elbow noodles and hot dogs with some cheese.

Really, cook the noodles but stop right before "how you like them" then strain them noodles, turn down the stove top and start to warm up the soup. The hot dogs, well I nuke them cause I'm lazy but generally cook them however you like. Chop up the dogs and toss everything together then let the soup get warm. I'd assume it not to take to long if you used the same pot you used for the noodles.

It wasn't the prettiest meal and for fun I threw in some Parmesan cheese we had chilling in the fridge. It was just that cheap powdered stuff you throw on spaghetti but it added something excellent to the whole meal. Generally, it was a quick and pleasantly tasting magic concoction of math and science. Okay no math and science but it was tasty and very much a concoction.

Honestly, my favorite type of foods are those that people "made up", provided it still tastes good. Its got a nice personal flavor to it (not literal) and makes the meal, even if simple, special. Make things up as you go and if it don't turn out "right" then no biggy. It was just left overs, right? So, honestly, who cares?
