[Somehow this post got erased but I just recovered it (tech skills?) – so it’s from nearly a month ago] Good on their own, simple soups like the above are also excellent recipe starting points. Remember this cheater soup? Or this one? Or this one? It’s kinda the same process. Imagine’s soups are great for this blank canvas kind of cooking. Trader Joe’s makes similar products. And Amy’s has some good ones too. I made this meal my own by adding fried tempeh. Tomato for him, butternut for me. I added peas and a dash… Read more >
