Soupy suggestions?
Jan. 5th, 2012 09:26 pmSo the routine I've more or less gotten into is that when I run out of chili, I make corn chowder, and when I run out of corn chowder, I make chili.
However! I offered to bring chili for the Speyers' New Year's Eve party, and thus it befell that it was necessary for me to make a batch of chili before I used up the previous batch of corn chowder. Moreover, I saved a couple servings of chili at home, aside from what I brought to the Speyers' party. The upshot of which is that not only do I now have both chili and corn chowder in the house, in defiance of the ordinary principles as described in the previous paragraph, but in fact I'm likely to run out of both of them at approximately the same time!
This is clearly unsupportable. I can't make corn chowder because I've run out of chili and at the very same time make chili because I've run out of corn chowder; that would be madness. The only possibility is for me to introduce some alternative third recipe to my rotation, thus giving both corn chowder and chili a well-deserved break. But what?
So what I'm looking for is recommendations for a new recipe to add to this rotation—something along the lines of a hearty vegetarian soup or souplike dish that can constitute most of a meal and doesn't take too much time or equipment to produce. (I made butternut squash soup for my birthday party but I can't make it regularly because I don't have a blender—I borrowed one for the party. And I didn't think it could have really carried a meal anyway.) Any suggestions?
