Soup Exchange II
Published by Becky S December 19th, 2004 in food
Now with more injuries!
Soup Exchange I was such a success that Animated A–who lives in an unthinkably beautiful and spacious apartment–hosted a second round. The soup gang now has fridges full of roasted corn, mushroom barley, chocolate chili, farro (grain of legions), and black bean soup.
You know how some vegetarian soups are bland and boring? Not ours. So what’s next? More soup swaps and a cookbook of our exchange recipes. However, I believe I will get the big-ass knife sharpened prior to Soup Exchange III.

I like vegetarian soups, which I have never found boring. But what if I HAVE been eating the boring kinds?! o_O
I simply MUST get my hands on some unboring vegetable soup! If only for comparison!
Will we all be able to purchase said cookbook? Those soups sound yummy!
did the top of your finger actually fly off into the soup as shown in the picture???
Becky, is the reason your soups are so delicious because your secret ingredient is hemoglobin? That means they aren’t really vegetarian!!! I’m going to have to inform the soup posse. In the meantime, your right hand looks blue in this picture–not a good sign. I think you are paying too high a price for us–although I do enjoy your festive bandages.
While my entire being believes in encouraging the consumption of soup, you cannot know how unreasonably jealous I am over this whole soup swap thing.
you and your perfect, vegitarian, martha friends. where o where is my soup swap?
How will it all turn out? Has Jay V been eating boring vegetarian soup all along?
Will Theresa and the Soup Lady start their own soup swaps, or will they band together and sabotage the Philly exchange in a jealous fit of rage?
Will Sassy J sic the soup posse on Becky for putting hemoglobin in the stock?
Can the soup crew really take recipes from other sources, compile them into a book, and sell them for profit?
Will Becky–who requires an entire afternoon (and some alcohol) to make soup–ever confess that she is secretly intimidated by her Martha friends?
Stay tuned for the next exciting episode.
Is it still vegetarian soup if it has human blood in it, does it need to contain a certain parts per million before it is non-veggie soup?
These are the questions I ponder.
Also, where can I get some soup?
I’m not sure I want that Martha label sticking to me. I have always had a love/hate relationship with her–and use her excellent cookbooks–but really don’t like her. I’m not even vegetarian–but it’s nice to eat like one every now and then. Becky, perhaps the combination of drinking and using large knives has something to do with your injuries. Just a thought. In the meantime, you always make the best stuff–what are you worried about? In my experience, most people just enjoy being fed and are happy with the most basic stuff if you serve it up for them.
For the love of vegetarian soup eaters and the sake of your hands, keep your hemoglobin to yourself and get that knife sharpened! Don’t do it yourself, either– get it professionally done. Your veggies will thank you.
Soup is good food– and so nice and warming around this time of year. Kudos to the soupmakers!
Where’s the parsnip and apple?
Tintil, I still have your parsnip and apple recipe. Because this exchange fell smack into the busy holiday schedule, I went with a standby soup. For the next gathering, I’m sure I’ll be more experimental (in my kitchen, anyway, parsnips are highly experimental).
I’m sick, and I need some vegetarian soup. Immediate delivery required. Please call for my address.
I think it is wise not to mix alcohol and sharp instruments (although using sharp instruments to mix your drinks is OK in an emergency). Perhaps warning labels can be placed on all of Becky’s knives, “Do not use when intoxicated.” Wacky? We might win a prize:
