    CM, HM 2 Popoki, FH, SMM, if I had control of the thermostat I’d turn that bad boy up to 70 in the winter — PH keeps it @ 54 degrees (NOT Celsius — Fahrenheit!) in the winter. I’ve gained at least 50 pounds since I’ve been with him because if my body didn’t put on an extra layer of fat I’d die of hypothermia. On top of it, he opens windows in the dead of winter, claiming that the oxygen level is too low and he can’t breathe. If he can speak, he can breathe; he just acts like such a spoiled brat, but I can’t leave him because I don’t have the resources to do so.

    I know this is a soup thread; I just had to clear out my head before I focused on soup. Is there a soup recipe out there that a man cannot ruin by adding all sorts of weird stuff to the pot (like, for example, onion skins or ABC [already been consumed] meat bones)?

    I weakened, I made a last pot of soup for the year. My rationale was that the fridge was full of soup veg and I had to use them up as well as the barley and lentils or the weevils would have got to them. That’s my excuse and i’m sticking to it. Yummmmmmmmmmmm, oh and the last of the minced bacon had to go from the fridge.

    My tummy is happiness filled. 🙂

    Ok KK, I made one last cauldron of vege soup just so you and Airy can have some when you are both here next month. I swear this really is the last pot of soup for the year. Really!

    I cooked up a boiling bacon too so I can mince it up and add to each cup of soup if I feel like bacon & vege soup.

    Just printed off Anncetera’s buttetnut squash soup recipe from page two. Discovered a pumpkin I grew in the summer and had stored was starting to rot so now I’m up to my elbows in pumpkin making soups.

    Also found a recipe on this thread. http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/24259

    I have just made this soup and it tastes simply divine and the house smells wonderful. I didn’t change anything but I did use a can of Nestle Carnation coconut flavoured milk as it is low fat.

    Highly recommended.

    Serve it cold WWM!

    I think it would be very satisfying as a cold soup too.

    Tried the soup cold last night as I was ladling it into containers for freezing. It’s delicious cold and I also decided it would make a great sauce for a chicken, vegetable and rice dish if it was thickened a little. Have one container that only has a little bit in it so will try it as a sauce sometime.

    Just got done making some curried butternut squash soup. Yum! Have modified the recipe to use coconut cream instead of sour cream (due to Glenn’s allergy), but otherwise it’s the same.

    I think tonight it’ll serve as a sauce over grilled chicken chunks on dilled basmati rice; broccoli will be the veggie on the side. Yum!

    I made this the other day and it is fantastic! Easy, too! Other than cooking the chicken (or buy a rotisserie) and chopping the onion, everything else is just open the can and throw it in! I cooked this for 2 hours on the stovetop and it’s just as good:

    Crockpot Tortilla Soup With Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce Serves 8

    Prep time: 30 minutes (including cooking chicken)

    1 1/2 pounds cooked shredded chicken

    1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes

    1 14-ounce can Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

    2 4-ounce cans Hatch Diced Green Chiles

    1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained

    1 medium onion, chopped

    2 tablespoons minced garlic

    2 cups water

    1 15-ounce can chicken broth

    2 teaspoons each: cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper (or to taste)

    1 15-ounce can corn, drained

    2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

    Garnish: Cheddar and/or Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and avocado

    In crockpot, combine all ingredients except cilantro and garnish. Cover and cook 6-8 hours.

    To serve: Spoon into deep bowls and garnish with cheese, sour cream and avocado as desired. Tortillas or chips may be served on the side or as garnish.
