SOUP!


Here's a photo of my recent soup attempt: Creamy carrot soup with fresh ground pepper

It's always a shame to find that a blog hasn't been updated on a consistent basis.  I, for one, am deeply disappointed in my sad attempt to post weekly, instead it appears that I'm on a month to month relationship with my blog.  "I promise I'll try harder".  

Soup is, hands down, my all time favorite food.  It never fails to lift my spirit and satisfy my appetite.  The thought of that warm liquid that awakens the back of my parched throat into my lonely stomach tends to immediately produce an uncontrollable drool effect.  No matter how warm or spicy the soup may be, like a moth to a flame, I keep going back for more. 

Noodle soups are a staple in many Southeast Asian countries.  In Vietnam it is common to find that noodles soups are served as a breakfast dish.  Pho (pronounced "fuh") is the Vietnamese noodle soup that I am happy to say would eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  A memorable reminiscence of my high school days would surely justify my previous comment.  

Also, on  my list of favorite soups:

- tomato bisque
- crab and corn soup
- Maryland Blue Crab Soup (my fiance makes THE best)
- lobster bisque
- creamy vegetable soup
- carrot dill soup
