What did everyone cook today?

GWG8541 That’s the way to start a day, with a breakfast for champions!

HerbcoFood Looks like you have got yours coming right along. I had about seven freezer bags of ham & pork bones for the pot first that I emptied out yesterday late afternoon. That will take about three days of simmering before I strain the bone broth out & then add the carrots, celeries, sweet & bermuda onions, peppers, ham meat, beans (Great Northern & Mayacoba), etc. Margaret added a few of my pretty poblanos & ripe jalopolenos to the simmering pot today while Andrew & I were out on an inspection. Normally I only use cayenne peppers for the initial broth, but it should have some good flavor now.

Cold weather has finally set in so I whipped up a couple quick batches of soup in my Vitamix.

Cream of Asparagus Soup

Tex_77 They both look delicious. You’re right it is getting to be soup weather.

Bob Stehlik My a/c is still running all too often, Thursday we are supposed to get a good cool down.

[Bob Stehlik]

HerbcoFood I’m sure it will feel good. Plus then you can open the windows at night. We covered our a/c a couple of weeks ago. Had snow flurries today. Good sleeping weather.

Tex_77 Potato Soup is one of my favorites, especially when it is dreary out. Yours looks great & really tasty, but no one including myself will ever beat Mom’s

[GWG8541]

Tex_77 looks good

Tex_77 wow that looks great

Tex_77 I love my Vitamix. Bought one for the daughter first, then, mine was not far behind about 6 yrs ago. They are beasts (both dry and wet).

[HerbcoFood]

Tex_77 zbigjeff Aren’t this vitamix’s the one you can put a hockey puck in it and it chew it to pieces?

[calldoctoday]

HerbcoFood I don’t know. We are still satisfied with our old Oster with the glass bowl. Have had it what, going on now 40 years plus if I am not mistaken. Except someone chipped the glass last year & I had to find a replacement as I have not had a chance to try sanding the chip down & the seals were pretty dried up too. It does the job. If I had to replace it, I would just want a glass bowl rather than plastic like most of them are now & a simple, high quality, durable machine.

Tex_77 I really like baked potato soup when it gets cold.

[Dr_Pain]

Tex_77 that creamy asparagus soup is awesome

[zbigjeff]

HerbcoFood I say whatever works for you. Don’t know about hockey pucks. But, there’s a reason that every high end restaurant I know uses a Vitamix. We tested the Ninja against the Vitamix with carrots and water in the same amounts and ran for 45 seconds. The Vitamix solution was smooth/creamy and the Ninja still had particles of carrots in the solution.

Tex_77 Good job and they both look like “Hail YEAH!”. Note: still waiting on 3rd treatment of mineral oil on the board to start using it. It looks good on your counter.
