an undocumented soup

dateline: santa fe, nm


(because sometimes the camera is all the way on the other side of the room)


a nice ginger / carrot soup from cooks.com 


ingredients:
  3/4 stick unsalted butter
  1/4 cup finely chopped ginger root (i used a little less)
  7 c. chicken stock
  1 1/2 c. carrots, peeled, in 1/2 inch pieces
  Pinch curry powder
  1 lg. chopped onion
  3 cloves garlic
  1 c. dry white wine
  2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  snipped fresh chives or parsley (if you got it)


melt butter in a large stock pot over medium heat.  add onion, ginger
and garlic.  saute for 15 - 20 minutes.  add stock, wine and carrots.  heat
to boiling.  reduce heat and simmer uncovered over medium heat until 
carrots are tender, about 45 minutes.  Puree the soup in batches, in a blender 
or food processor.  (or your trusty immersion blender...i'm tellin' ya)
season with lemon juice, curry powder and salt & pepper.  sprinkle a little chive or parsley. serve hot or chilled.
with a big ol' salad. 


i don't think this kid would have liked the soup.  or the salad for that matter...


kindergarten, i think...
