And then he'd be wanting to add chorizo.<BR/><BR/>Anita: Soup IS green, sez I. (Pureed beans plus oil = creaminess. Almost dairy in your mouth. Magic.)<BR/><BR/>Maia: Oh, peaches in your gazpacho? Oh, that is da bomb. I'm currently exploring the idea of pears in gazpacho. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>SFMike: Yes.<BR/><BR/>KathyF: I'm a knee-jerk puree-er. As are you, I gather. Come on over.<BR/><BR/>Dagny: I figure I could work up a chunky soup for you both... :-)<BR/><BR/>El: White flowers. Coming in daily; I'm so guilty of going out there and thwarting its reproductive urges with a clipper... :( <BR/>Anyway, yes, big, oaky leaves. But they do get some oomph here because of the constant sun. Peppery, walnutty flavor.<BR/><BR/>Sam: I don't think I've ever cooked at 10 p.m. Brava! Your soup (khaki in color, I'm assuming) sounds so nice. I have sorrel in a pot; we're almost due to harvest. Soup! Glorious soup.<BR/><BR/>Ilva: It was... "assertive." Thank you for your encouragement, and for the suggestion in the first place. You might even have liked this. :D<BR/><BR/>Katie: I'm howling! Pureed Scotch broth!

A friend made 'Scoth Broth' for us one night, chock full of lamb, potatoes, carrots, etc. It looked wonderful...then she got out the stick blender and pureed the whole lot!

We agreed to have toast and charcuterie but when I opened the fridge I found a bunch of sorrel I knew would go to waste if i didn't use it now.<BR/><BR/>So I made 5 minute soup and it was brilliant and delicious for no effort. Sorrel is such an easy vegetable to work with because it has so much goodness and deep lemony flavour - it withers in a little knob of butter to a mush in seconds, add a cup of stock and salt bring to boil, take off heat, add dash of half and half or whatever dairy you have in fridge , liquidise and eat. Soup from start to finish in 5 minutes - I know you would love that one. All it needs is a dash of pepper.<BR/><BR/>5 minute soup, eat your heart out Mark Bittman.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081680210434938456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-70151311008030422262007-07-26T08:43:00.000-07:002007-07-26T08:43:00.000-07:00Can I ask, is your arugula a big oak-leafy type or...Can I ask, is your arugula a big oak-leafy type or a skinny leafy type?
