last night was good. I found the recipe HERE. As usual, I didn't really measure anything. I used one thing (head? crown?) of broccoli, two carrots, and part of an onion. I eyeballed all of the seasonings. I almost had two cups of broth in my carton so instead of opening a new one for 1/8 c, I just added water to top it off. I didn't have half and half so I used 1 c milk and 1 c cream. I didn't use the full amount of cheese. I kept it at about two handfuls of sharp cheddar and then sprinkled 1/8 to 1/4 c of parmesan. I also cooked the broccoli and carrots in the microwave for about five minutes before adding them to the pot. Anyway, here it is.
I'd make it again. I am glad I made it last night though. I don't know if it was because of it being a new recipe or me just being unprepared (or both), but I was definitely all over the place. There's no way I could've done it with the baby here. Oh, another reason I'm glad I made it last night? It's cold and we had hot soup ready to go today.
I should have a helper with cooking before too long if everything goes according to plan. I gave the baby a pot this morning with a spoon and she was on the floor stirring. I added some Cheerios so she could stir those and snack. So basically, she ate breakfast on the kitchen floor out of a pot. We're prim and proper like that.
Let's get back to that cup of soup. It was really good five hours ago. Now, where's the rest of my dinner?
