I know. We're in a mini heat wave here in the Bay Area, and all I can eat is soup.It slides down inoffensively.
It nourishes.
It tastes pretty good, even the stuff from cans.
I have two sickbed soups. When I'm arfy-barfy sneezy sick, I go for canned Campbell's chicken and noodle.
When I'm mentally crippled, I go for Snow's Clam Chowder.
I'm in a Snow's phase right now.
Pardon me for not blogging.
Your comments are always welcome, though. I love to gab, as long as I don't have to think.

welcome back feel better!
Thinking is overrated.
As a Brit, I have always looked on chowders as something ever-so-slightly exotic and suspicious.
I therefore have to declare the much more down-to-earth, yet patriotically uplifting Baxters Royal Game soup as my comfort soup of choice!
Greg: I'm fine. It's the usual... All these years, and I'm still not over it. Grow up, Cookiecrumb.
Kailyn: Merci. I will withhold thinking for a few more weeks.
Judith: Ha! As a modern American, I suspect chowders are old-time pirate food. Still, can't complain.
I would love to explore a Baxters Royal Game soup, and so I will! Thank you.
Welcome home. Glad you have the right comfort food to -- comfort you. As Salinger's Esme said, write "when you have the time and inclination."
Sorry you're not feeling up to snuff, CC. And here we are, in "shoulder season" for chowders: late for the rich winter ones, and early for my very favorite - corn chowder. Somehow I don't think "ramps" chowder or "fiddlehead fern" chowder will cut it. Otherwise I'd leave a seasonal specialty on your doorstep.
But then, that's why we have Snow's. Hope that comes with a side of toast.

Consider the units virtually poked in the eye by me! Keep up with the soup, 'tis magical stuff.xxxx
Oh dear, I was afraid you had picked up a bug. Sad for you. Sending energy and souplove.
The heat has sapped my blogging desires as of late. And eating/cooking desires. It's getting cooler so things will get better. Feel better too!
I am sure that you are now well, having eaten your chowda, and rested from thinking too much.
Kudzu: Thank you. Best of all, I have a comforting soup warmer, Mr. Cranky.
Limoncello: You are brilliant. I have eaten so many cans of Snow's with buttered toast! This time, however, we found a box of very good, inexpensive oyster crackers at Big Lots. That's all I'm saying.
Mouse: Soup is magical stuff. I think that's why it's my favorite thing to cook. And I've got a monster leek in the garden that needs to be picked!
Zoomie: Thanks, sweetie. I owe you a note. xo
Anna: Now the heat is gone; it's gray, cool and... soup weather!!
Moonbear: Hi! The chowda helps heaps, yes.
Campbell's bean and bacon sets me straight, too. That reminds me, my mother in law uses straight Campbell's tomato to sauce everything. She uses it as gravy for chicken fried steak, and you can just imagine her stuffed peppers. Minute Rice, hamburger and undiluted tomato soup, bake for an hour. I recently taught her that putting cheese on top makes it "fancy."
Heather: Bean with Bacon soup! I grew up on that stuff. Loved it. I find it too assertive for the infirmary, though.
Now you kinda got me wanting your mother in law's stuffed peppers...
no joke... major soup moments around here these days. It was what 90* f'ing degrees? And I was making udon. Feel *right* soon!
I adored this stuff when I was a child. I think I may have to indulge once again.
Feel better!
EB: Well, it IS the Bay Area, and we can do anything we want. I just stepped outside, and it's too COLD to plant the tomatoes we just bought. So I say it's still soup season.
Sweet Bird: The Snow's brand scored poorly in a Chronicle taste test many years ago. Pooh on them!
I shouldn't admit this, but I used to crave that chowder and would eat it straight up, from the can.
You have the Cleanest Hair in Marin. We Love Your Hair and You!
We are on on way to the Asparagus Festival.
8.9 pounds/10minutes of deep fried asparagus is the goal challenge.
I can eat more Aaparagus than You. Maybee?
I think it's going around. I haven't been able to think much lately, either.
