Autumn Soup……Oct. 20, 2006

Today has been a busy day…..lots of work in my real life job to be done in order for me to take the weekend off to get away.  Whew…..finally I am finished.  As I get ready to leave, I thought that I would leave one of my favorite Autumn Recipes :-).  We had this soup last nite and every time I have it, all I can say is YUM!

Carrot Soup

1lb carrots
1 potato
1 small onion
1 can Chicken Broth (homemade is even better)
4 c water
Lots of cumin
T Lime Juice
1tsp Salt
Sprinkle of White Pepper
dash Cayenne Red Pepper
1-1/2 c lowfat milk
1 1/2 c cooked chicken shredded

Peel and slice carrots, onion and potato, put in a pan.  Cover with the water and chicken broth.  Add seasoning and lime juice and cook until vegetables are soft.  Place the vegetables and broth in a blender and puree.  Place back in the pan and bring to boiling.  Add milk, chicken and a bit more seasoning until it tastes just right 🙂  Serve with bread and wine…….YUM!

As I sit here writing I am listening to a new to me artist, Rosie Thomas.  Go take a listen at some of her music.  I don’t think you will be disappointed 🙂

I am off for the weekend.  I hope to meet a lot of you in Rhinebeck and for those of you who will be home this weekend…..give this soup a try.  It’s not a very pretty looking recipe like those you see in cookbooks, but it is easy and the soup is delicious…(and low calorie!)

Ciao~
