Guess what we had for dinner last night? That's right, more soup! This one was an asian-kind of thing. I made it up as I went along. The base is chicken stock, mirin, and soy, and it also has shitake mushrooms, udon noodles, edamame, tons of garlic and ginger, a great big spoonful of sambal oleok, sriacha for spicy sweetness, chopped scallions and cilantro, and a poached egg on top. It was just what I was in the mood for. The things on the side are shitake mushroom-tofu rolls. I did not make them from scratch, they are from the Asian market. Photo:

that's pretty looking!

I agree with Mary Beth!

Lately I have been in the mood for more clear soups than creamy soups. Let's have some of those types like the one liamsaunt just posted...

Becky - can you post the recipe for that one?

Thanks!

Here you go Nothingtolose:

Todays lunch - turkey soup with onions, celery, parsnips, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and spinach.

And Lexington Spoonbread from our Heritage of Southern Cooking cookbook. Inspired by Ksea talking about spoonbread.

Oh my my my, Coden...the soup looks fabulous and the SPOON BREAD! Looks great! How did everyone like it?

Ksea - they loved it and it is a keeper.

Does it look the way it is supposed to?

Posted: **Sat Jan 19, 2008 2:26 pm**

WOW, Coden, that looks a lot better than the lunch that I had. Are you sure you can't come to SOTB II trip with us?

Posted: **Sat Jan 19, 2008 2:27 pm**

Coden, yes it looks perfect. That 3/4 missing dish looks familiar...it would have been on my plate!
I always have to make an extra dish too. You done good KY!

Thnx Sea-nile - I'd give my eye teeth!!

Thnx Ksea - it was your inspiration because you told me about spoonbread. I had never heard of it. Well, I had heard of spoonbread but never investigated it enough to know what it is. It is very addicting. I keep snitching a bit out of the dish that is left.

Yum, the soup and spoonbread both look great! I love spoonbread, but I haven't made it in a while. We have dinner plans tonight, but maybe I will make some tomorrow. Yum!

Coden,
Did I miss something? I thought you were going.

You know how it is, stuff happens when you are making other plans.

I'm trying Becky's corn chowder tonight... more to follow

Corn Chowder Report:

Well, husband took the first spoonful and said " Oh my God! this is incredible"!!! Served it with a salad of baby romaine and a lemon vinegrette to cut the richness of the soup. Yum. sorry no pics, the Olympus busted at Xmas and hubby's Pentax is just too complicated for me.

Thanks Becky I'm sure it will become a staple in our house as well.

Happy warm tummy
