Souper salad | Pad Patter 25 June

Favorite soup: thick tomato basil
Favorite salad: romaine, cashews, cheese, poppyseed dressing

 

I meant to comment on your purchase of the dressing too. I had no idea we could buy the dressing. I'll look for it at my next shopping trip.

 

Any salad with fresh fruits and all the soups!!!!!!!!!!

 

I’m not a big salad person, even though I need to eat them a lot to get my veggie quota in for the day.

I recently participated in the (virtual this year) Jane Austen Summer Program, and the banquet dinner they had us all make was called Salamongundy. Basically, a mix of things thrown together! It was amazingly yummy. The best part is you can substitute all you want (for example, I used shrimp instead of chicken). I’ll have to make it again!

Here’s a blog post about it from the Jane Austen Center in Bath: https://janeausten.co.uk/blogs/snacks-and-sides/to-make-salamongundy

 

I forgot to add my favorite of all time soup which I still need to find a recipe for: cream of asparagus champagne. Oh, it was amazing! I had it at the Good Earth restaurant in Santa Barbara, CA back in the 1970s, and I’ve never forgotten it!

I do make a lot of soup in the winter, everything from Swedish split pea, butternut squash, potato, or whatever recipe I happen to find on Pinterest that day. Soups are great for me to cook because I can make it the way I can eat it, then others can add in the things they want, like meat or cheese. And they’re easy to freeze in individual serving sizes, too!
