What do you do when your fridge freezes everything in your crisper drawers?  You use those frozen cukes to make a nice, chilled cucumber soup!  It’s simple as can be…everything goes in the blender, whirl away and into the fridge for a couple of hours and you have lunch.  Or dinner.  Life is good!

We’ve done Eggplant Parmesan Soup, lo those many years ago, when we began this little adventure.  I loved that version, but as you must be sick to death of hearing, The Goddess is a Being who enjoys change…and it just so happens she had some really nice fennel, ergo this version was born!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_0474.jpgBrussels Sprout and Fennel Chowder.  Hmmmm.  Intriguing, no?  There’s cabbage soup, so why not Brussels sprouts, in liquid form.  Well, folks, it works and it works well.  This soup is vegetarian, even vegan, if you omit the cheese (but why would you?).  It’s filling, without being heavy. And most importantly, it just tastes really, really delicious.  Continue reading →

Okay.  Right off I want you to know that The Goddess is misleading you.  Yup.  She’s leading you down the culinary garden path.  She broiled the corn; she has no grill.  And creamy?  There is no cream, either.  But, I’m here to tell you.  This is truly delicious! Continue reading →
