FF Appendix #3 -- Portuguese Soup

Sunday Soup

I think this is my favorite soup ever! 

Today anyway.

Making my way thru my Friday Friend Cookbook--

one recipe at a time.

But then I pull out an old notebook and remember years ago, when I made the Friday Friend Soup cookbook.

It's a whole different thing. (sigh)

I'm such a dork--I used the word 'blustery'.

Like I said, this was years ago about  30 years ago, the kids were little and they loved Winnie the Pooh and Pooh used the word 'blustery'.

Besides, I never thought I'd be this brave and put myself out there like this. At the time who knew about blogs, social networking, etc?

I could be as weird as I wanted, and no one would know.

I typed this up (many years ago) and sent it to the Friday Friends.

I am adding this as an appendix to the "official Friday Friend  Cookbook"

(much to the chagrin of the publisher/typer upper Barbara Brown)

(she's afraid I'm going to make her type up a whole new cookbook.  Volume #2! )

Cover page of the very old Soup Notebook:

I do love soup, as some of you may know.

Soup is the ultimate comfort food.

I love it.

I love it so much that I sometimes give it a party!

I've had to bring the Handyman along slowly into the soup love affair.

Soup and I had to seduce him.

He has come a long way baby.

See here---what I wrote?

Rich Stone  aka The Handyman,  likes this soup.

I had not made it in YEARS.  Probably not since the last time I used blustery in a sentence. 

I challenge you to use blustery in conversation today!

So, he likes this soup.  I made it and

I loved it so much.

To be honest---I didn't remember ever making it. But I must have at least once.  I won't wait so long to do so again.

It was warm and filled with such good things, beans and corn and peas and kielbasa!

You should try it.

Or all day.

I am linking up with 

Weekend Cooking at Beth Fish  Reads.

I love Weekend Cooking.  I love reading Beth Fish's cook book reviews, opinions and I really love when she just talks about her own cookbook and kitchen notebook collection.

Souper Suppers  at Kahakai Kitchen

I don't need to explain why I love Souper Sundays, do I? 

I mean--I threw soup a party.

Enough said.

Pluse Kahakai Kitchen keeps up with  her food blogging challenges, commitments and goals.

I am so envious.
