Bought a coconut, some lime leaves, some lemongrass, some galangal,
enoki mushrooms, and a jar of shrimp/chili paste. Have chicken and
fish sauce already. Made coconut cream out of the coconut with my
stick blender (lots more fun than it sounds). Guess who's making tom
kha gai tomorrow? :-)

So it was Thai shrimp soup last week, knaedlach soup on Thursday,
bean soup with ham yesterday, and tomorrow's tom kha. I think maybe
I'm in kind of a soup mood. And now the weather has decided to
cooperate.

Ah, so this cooler weather is YOUR fault! :-)

I've actually been on a salad kick lately, but have plants for split pea
soup the first real cold snap.

Well , my soup switch has been turned on , and do not know why, hot
and going to be for awhile, as you know.

Made a really tasty but easy, potato , fresh corn, and bacon soup. Was
a hit. Also tried a green gazpacho, it was not as good, had cukes,
cilantro, onions, avocado in it. Sounded like it would be better than
it was.

Bought a butternut squash, and will make soup with that.

My inner Fall cook is surfacing... even tho the weather is not
cooperating.

OH forgot, made a soup with eggplant--- total failure.

Mine isn't on yet, but I have been thinking a nice soupe au pistou
would be nice, once the weather gets a little more nippy. It always
seems the perfect harvest soup, to me.

Have you tried making Tortilla soup?

Hm. Well, I'm not a cilantro fan.
Made French Onion soup yet? That one is a personal favorite.

I tried it once and failed. Probably did not do it right.
Nobody would eat it and I finally ended up serving it to the dogs.

Oops! Mom used to make a very good eggplant soup, and I'm no fan of
eggplant. IIRC, she used a beef stock base instead of chicken. Eggplant
is so strongly flavored, it needed a stronger base.

<lol> Imho, beef stock is also a "must" for french onion soup. :-) I can
get a wonderful stock from pressure cooking Barbacoa with the usual
aromatics and the meat gets used to make tacos or chili. I get double
duty when I do that stuff. :-)

PC for one hour is sufficient to make that meat shredable and melt all
the collagen.

Update : SWMBO brought chanterelles again.
So I've just finished cooking "Eierschwammerl in Rahmsauce" (chanterelles
in cream sauce) with "Serviettenknoedeln" (dunno how to translate that).

The Laiberln are prepared and in the fridge.

No direct translation, so an explanation of what it is: bread dumplings
cooked in a napkin.

Mmmmmm, salad. Tonight, I can't decide what to have with our tuna
casserole -- cooked spinach or spinach salad. Either way, I have a
bunch of spinach I need to use up.

I've never had it, but there's a section on it in Slow and Difficult
Soups that made me want to try it. Mmmm, soup!

Now we can use a bit of rain please? <g>
