Cream of Chicken and Orgasm Soup

[strange_aeons]

A while back wiredferret gave lilairen a recipie for some soup, and Darkhawk spent a while making happy noises about the soup in question. Then a couple of days ago she gave me aforesaid recipie and I thought, what the hell, with that much chicken stock flying around it's unlikely I'll manage to set anything on fire.

Holy Jesus.

Wired, you're still my favorite pregnant woman.

Now that I have converted you to the Soup of God (aka 'Creamy Orgasm in a Bowl'), I must ask: do you think having this stuff around will keep you remembering to eat? ;)

Given that I got the email notification of this comment just minutes after I mused to you about whether I was too full for another bowl of soup ... I think things are looking up, at least.

It goes a little something like:

---

Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Boil:
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup wild rice, washed and drained
Simmer for one hour.

Saute, more or less in this order:
2 tablespoons of butter
2 medium carrots, sliced thin or shredded
1 medium onion, chopped (the finer the better)
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced

Stir 1/4 cup flour into the vegetables. Add 3 cups chicken broth to the vegetables and cook until it all thickens up. Add this to the
cooked rice.

Stir in:
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or whatever, but this looks nicer)
1 teaspoon savory
1 cup chicken, cooked and chopped (not too fine, people want to be able to find their meat)

At the last minute, add 3 tablespoons lemon juice and chopped dill for garnish.

I put the celery in before the onion because I'd forgotten what order they went in, and I used something closer to a cup and a half of both chicken and mushrooms, because I like chicken and mushrooms. And Darkhawk doesn't use carrots, because she's allergic to them. I also used 1/4 cup wild rice, 1/4 cup basmati, and rather more than two cups of broth on them because I kept turning the heat up too far and I'm paranoid about burning things.

Oh, and I sopped up the very small amount of broth left in my bowl (it's not a brothy sort of soup -- think stew) with Really Good Bread, which was enjoyable but not an integral part of the experience. But it was that or lick the bowl, and I like to give the appearance of being civilized.

Eeeeexcellent. Thank you! I know what I'm gonna buy when my tiny little check comes in... :9

I gave up and decided to have another bowl. My roommate, while I was looking away, had put serving-sized amounts of it in a series of those disposable tupperwarish things, which is convenient. The one I picked was on top, so it was probably the last, the one with the soup from the bottom of the pot, which explains what happened to me while I was eating it.

Putting a lemon seed on to simmer for a couple of hours, letting it cool off most of the way, nuking it, then unexpectedly biting into it makes for a fairly startling sensory experience. Doing it again, on the other hand, is just inadvisable.

I could have sworn I hadn't gotten any lemon seeds in the soup. Luckily I had soup there to cleanse my palate. Now I'm rewarding myself with a malta -- my second today, but we have an insane surplus, so I am less wracked with guilt than I might be otherwise.

Woo! So glad I could make your dinner experience good.
