I call it Miracle Soup because I didn't follow a recipe and did not really know if it would work since I had never made soup from scratch before. I just did what I imagined one would do to make soup. I had some meaty chicken bones left from another meal, I boiled them with salt and pepper added some potatoes and this awesome pumpkin-like squash that they have here. After about an hour boiling I smushed up the squash which provided texture and suddenly it became like a real, delicious soup. Miraculous.

Miracle Soup
Since moving out of my host family's house, cooking has become a major part of my life. Not so much because it is a huge passion for me, but because there just aren't restaurants or take out in my town. Furthermore, the stores don't sell much of any prepared or ready to eat food. As I mentioned in a previous post, there are plenty of fresh vegetables and meat, but preparing them is entirely up to you. I've never been afraid of cooking and when I've dabbled in it I've usually been pretty successful. However, since I had a meal plan all through college I just never had much experience. All that is changing by the day. Here I present my latest creation: Reid's Miracle Soup!

It'll be a miracle if you survive that bachelor method of 'Martha Stewart Living"
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome! Be bold and fearless--and have fun! You'll probably be a straight up chef by the time you leave! :) Do you have any cookbooks? Do you want some?
