Well, today is Blue Friday in Seattle, in support of my beloved Seattle Seahawks. I made my soup last weekend after the win over the New Orleans Saints, therefore, I will not post anything red today (SF 49ers colors), so I don't jinx THE HAWKS!
The recipe this week was so simple, I didn't need to go to the store for the ingredients. My soup is really 1 of three that are to be served together, but now that my son has gone back to school, and my husband is not a big soup fan, I picked one.
It got a little messy.
YUM! This made for a lovely lunch...French-style, with wine!!!
This was so easy to make and a great way to use up veggies. I made the broccoli and enjoyed it best when it was chilled.
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks very delicious and I'm sure it went well with your wine selection. Have a wonderful weekend.
Great call with that wine!
ReplyDeleteEven though I thought these somewhat not very "special" they were still good. A hot cup of the broccoli with that wine sure would be good.
ReplyDeleteI made the asparagus one too - so good.
ReplyDeleteI made the Broccoli soup and it was very good. Cute dog:)
ReplyDeleteAha! So your soups jinxed my crawfish pasta last Saturday! No hard feelings - there was no way to beat the Seahawks at their LOUD home stadium.
ReplyDeleteI miss Washington wines.
So simple and so tasty! I really liked this one, to my surprise. Yours looks delicious. Best of luck to the SeaHawks this weekend. Maybe our teams will meet at the Super Bowl. Though I'm not really a football fan, I do live in Patriots country.
ReplyDeleteI'm, unfortunately, a Washington Redskins fan, but I'll be rooting for the Seahawks tomorrow. I'm definitely not a fan of the 49ers!
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just love when you have to drink wine for lunch for research purposes??!
ReplyDeleteIt's really important to research the wine. Mine got a little messy too - not sure how it happened, but it was on the sliding door behind the blender when I was done. Good luck to the Seahawks.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good one! And wine is always a plus!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll give these soups another try with a glass of wine on the side. Good luck to your team!
ReplyDeleteI love the asparagus soup!! Good choice of wine :) :)
ReplyDeleteOh Gracie- it is SO fabulous to see you posting. After meeting you in Seattle (a true highlight of the trip - you took such FABULOUS care of Nana and I during the dinner out to Mamnoon) you have inspired me on several levels. First, I am not a football fan but honest to goodness- your enthusiasm on Facebook is getting contagious. I have decided, not that they need me, that I am now a Seahawks fan. Another 12th woman. Heck, their colors ARE fabulous :) Also love that you prioritize health and working out alongside eating and drinking amazing food and beverages, and perhaps most importantly....you make me try harder to post each week. I can not possibly bear the shame of you wondering my Nana got a recipe tested and I didn't, and I am not sure how much longer your hubby will have my anonymous back if I become a real slacker :). Great job on the soup. And for figuring out to just make one :) AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY EARLY !!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to your team today! Nice wine choice.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I think I might try the asparagus version this spring when they are at their peak. As a former Seattleite I will be rooting for the Seahawks this weekend!
