Man, I had the most awesome soup on my way out of the Natural food store picking up my holiday spices for baking. It was called Sweet n'spicy Peruvian soup. I leaned over that pot at the soup bar and loved the smell. It smelled fragrant. I noticed the coriander smell in it. So I tried a small one. Then I wrote down the ingredient list, went back and got two more spices coriander and dried mustard. It didn't state the amounts for each.
I went right home and made it but have company so didn't take a pic. Just get a load of these ingredients especially the spices:
Fresh ginger, garlic, sugar, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, dry mustard, cayenne, bay leaf salt and pepper
Chicken broth, onion, cabbage, sweet potatoes, carrots and can of diced tomatoes.
I just threw it together to taste and matched it perfectly. It was delicious and different. Kid even liked it. I know it has similar spices to Indian food, which I haven't had a lot but I never had any Peruvian food at all before.
This diet crap is not going to work. Tilapia the size of a deck of cards and a cup of veggies? Hell, I didn't eat all day, freaking snack after a six pack, not going to happen. Good thing I made a drum full of stew. [Reply]
So I made the best "soup" ive ever had. Not sure if a bisque is a soup or not, but it is in my book. So, I made a shrimp bisque. Buttery, smooth, very shrimpy. I made a shrimp stock with the shells after I cleaned the shrimp, and added it to the party right before the cream. Pureed it all with an immersion blender, then added some cut up shrimp to add some bites of shrimp in with all the smooth creaminess. I used corn off the cob to help sweeten it, and some creole seasoning, which is what I sprinkled on the top at the finish as well. It was freaking amazing.
Saute onions, celery, corn (fresh), garlic, salt, white pepper, creole seasoning, and chopped basil in butter/olive oil mixture
Add diced tomatoes and shrimp stock (made from boiling shells).
pour in cream and simmer
Add cut up shrimp and simmer 10 minutes
Use immersion blender to bring it all to a creamy consistency
Add the cut up shrimp and simmer 10 more minutes.
Sprinkle some creole seasoning on top to taste.
Chicken Piccata and some garlicky-butter angel hair pasta! No time to make salad tonight. Too much baking. Besides, it was filling enough. Drank the rest of Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc that I had cooked it with.

Well, I baked chicken thighs and cooked veggies last night so she had that to eat. When I made dough yesterday, I knew it would come back to haunt me. Today I was told never to call her fat (which I never have) because of what I cook. Gotta change my way's I guess. [Reply]
