So we tried the porcini soup again, meticulously cleaning the mushrooms (and let me just say, ICK, those things ARE dirty...I'm very glad I did not finish my soup the night before!) In the end, we did love the taste the soup had, but there is something still not right about the texture - then again, I could be just a little scarred from my gritty soup the night before! I think the next step is to take a step back from this soup and maybe re-fashion it altogether. There was a fantastic write up on another blog about making soups, and this approach really seemed interesting, so maybe my next mushroom soup I'll try it this way. Although after the last two nights tragedies, I'm a little concerned with me throwing "whatever is handy" into a pot and hoping for a good outcome!! But I guess you won't know until you try!!
In addition to my oddly textured/still slightly odd mushroom soup Steve and I made a salad from the Traveler's Lunchbox site and it was so good! I will never pour salad dressing over my salads again - we added some garlic to the leaves as well as rubbing it on the bowl - (thank god we both did!!), was very tasty and quick to throw together! Here is a link to her blog about the salad, she really is quite hilarious!
Ode to a Salad
While I may really stink at making Porcini Cream Soup with Parmesan, I rock at making a simple salad!!
