dirt soup (edible)

aight beasties here's my personal homemade soup recipe. it is vegetarian because I'm not allowed around meat anymore :(

inspired by the childhood experience of collecting sticks and leaves in a bucket of rainwater & stirring it with a big ol stick, like a soup or maybe a witches brew. I call it "Dirt Soup :)"

probably about 3 pints of water

1 vegetable stock cube

1 leek (probably optional. I like leeks)

4 carrots, including the skin and leaves (skin is optional. leaves are very important)

4 small potatoes, skin included (they're small for the extra skin. you could use two medium potatoes if you want) edit: have caution with potato skin I guess, don't eat any green bits or sprouts

a lil bit of salt, a lil bit more pepper, a decent amount of cumin (& anything else you wanna add. it's a little bit bland but I like that)

fry the leek first so it doesn't go mushy & put it in a big pot. you don't have to add things in any particular order I just toss things in as I chop em. make sure wash the ingredients A LOT because skin.

I chop the carrots horizontally so they're all little circles, or maybe wheels. I chop the potatoes into very small cubes because I tried big cubes once and didn't like it.

the carrot leaves lose their flavour in the soup, which is good because I don't think they taste very nice raw.

this recipe makes about... 6 servings? I put it in a big tupperware box in the fridge & have it for lunch & dinner for like three days. it's yummy :)

sometimes I leave a single carrot top in so I can look for it when I eat the soup. it's fun!

So, the last summer, I decided to try out the method of drying green-beans, to see if it would be a good alternative to freezing them. I love frozen green beans, but I want a method of preserving that doesn't take any energy to keep them frozen, dry stuff is shelf stable!

The way to do this is to grab a needle and a thread, stack the green beans on the thread vertically, and then hanging them up to dry. It takes them several weeks to dry, and I do have to say, they all dried properly, none went bad or started getting mold, the drying part went well! Then I put them in my big giant jar and promptly forgot about them for the whole winter.

And now, I'm going to test if they're good to eat!

Some of these are long noodle beans, and some are just normal green beans. In the container next to them are some young garlic plants I found in the field. I've decided to go and make a garlic+green bean soup, to make sure the green beans get a proper time to cook in there.

So, the method of rehydrating these is to put them in a pot, pour boiling hot water over them, and leave them to soak for an hour. This is how they looked when I took them out of the jar:

They seemed light and like there's not much substance to them, they're also pretty thin. I covered the pot and left it for an hour. In the meantime, let's look at the garlic plants. Firstly, what are they.

I sometimes forget to harvest a bulb of garlic, and then in the spring, I get 5-6 young garlic plants growing on top of each other. I tried to pry them apart and plant separately, but none of them would really go on to produce a big head of garlic. So I decided it's much more satisfying to just yank them all out and eat them in the spring as fresh garlic. The entire plant is filled with fresh garlic flavour!

I cleaned them up and separated the white parts from the green, because the white parts can be sauteed on oil, while the green parts will do better to just be cooked. I cut them in little soup-appropriate pieces.

Then I thought, well, this soup would just be so much better if there was a potato in it. Green beans and potatoes just go extremely well together. And I didn't have a young potato, all of mine have already sprouted, so I picked two that looked somewhat decent:

I know these look rough at first, but when you cut them, inside they're just fine! I didn't even peel them, just cut them in little cubes. Now let's look at how are the green beans doing:

They grew bigger! And they now feel very squishy and chewy, and there's much more weight to them, which I like. The smell coming out of them was not like a green-bean scent, it didn't smell much like anything really. I was very curious to how the water would taste where the green beans were soaking, so I tried it. And it tasted like tea. Usually when you cook some vegetable in hot water, it tastes like broth, right? Well this tasted like tea. Tea from leaves and bark. It was extremely interesting.

Anyway, I cut the green beans to little bits as well, and now we have all of the ingredients for cooking! It's going to be a very simple meal, but cool because we're just using garden stuff one can get in early spring.

I put the potatoes and salt on some oil first, because they can handle it for the longest time, and it draws out a more intense flavour in them. When they started smelling real nice, I added the garlic whites, and after a bit, garlic greens and green beans, or at this point they would be called 'leather britches', because people compare the texture of dry green beans to leather. And that's it! Extremely simple soup making. Here it is done:

I was excited to see what the flavour of green beans would be, because I was promised they have this very intense flavour, but I have to admit, this soup tasted overwhelmingly of potatoes and garlic! Which is a heavenly combination, so I loved it a lot. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't taste the green beans, I think the flavour possibly faded because I just left them sitting in a transparent jar for some 9+ months, and they should have been protected from the light better.

I could feel the texture, however, and it was okay, it was slightly leathery but by no means difficult to eat. I ended up eating the entire soup very quickly, and I have to say it was extremely sating. I felt very well fed afterwards and satisfied for hours. Food that is no trouble to store, easy to eat and sating, that sounds like a perfect thing for me.

I'll try it again this summer, but I'll see if I can eat the green beans before they lose the flavour completely, or if I could preserve it for longer by keeping them out of light, in a paper bag or a very dark spot. Possibly I should have tried putting them on oil to draw out the flavour, but I haven't thought of that at the time. I actually have a bit of them left over, because I wanted to see if they cook any different if I don't soak them first, so when I try that out, I'll put that information out as well!

Green Curry Coconut Soup with Shrimp & Vegetables

“There is nothing like soup. It is by nature eccentric: no two are ever alike, unless of course you get your soup in a can.” — Laurie Colwin Today it is the middle of June and I just got home from the Skandia Farmers Market. My booth was brimming with purple Lupine flower bouquets and garden plant starts. It was cold tonight and I could see my breath. The weather has been typical for the UP this…

IT'S SOUP TIME!

I'm making soup today, just really craving it and haven't made any for awhile. If anyone also feels like making some soup, here you go! I put 'murican measurements and everyone else in the world's so you don't have to figure it out.

I put comments on so that if anyone makes changes when they make their soup or adds things they can mark what they did for other people to see and get ideas on!

Summer, cooking at home

Zucchini soup; sometimes I put cheese in but not today. I use a vegetable stock. Chicken stock can make it taste funny.

The temperature was less than 80 degrees this morning, so I made chicken noodle soup from scratch for the first time, bone broth and all. It took all morning, but oh my god it's the most delicious soup I have ever tasted.

Potential trigger warnings: Talk of mental health. No thoughts of dying, just venting some frustrations. If you’re not in a good headspace, I understand. Take care of yourselves. ❤️

~~~~~~~~~~

The thing about mental illness is that the negative words that people repeatedly tell you about yourself start to warp into fact. It’s all you hear on the daily. That becomes part of you. It shapes you. I am so frustrated when people say to just simply ignore it when that is physically impossible.

It’s like your standing in an empty room but the voices of the people who verbally hurt you are screaming at the top of their lungs.

“You’re not Autistic.”

“You don’t have ADHD.”

“Your dEpReSsIoN is just you being lazy.”

“You’re not a real adult. You act like a child, so I’ll call you a child.”

“You’re selfish and only care about yourself.”

“When I was your age…”

“Why are you faking that?”

“Stop being a negative Nancy.”

“Don’t be a Debbie Downer all the time.”

“You’re so opinionated that you’re toxic because you’re set in your ways.”

“All you do is procrastinate.”

“You’re a spoiled brat.”

I’m reminded of soup when it comes to mental health, lately. It was the soup. The soup I was so proud of. The soup that I excitedly bought ingredients for and made from scratch, putting time and care into that soup. That soup can be improved next time, but it was my pride and joy.

A simple thing such as soup! Oh, the way I tear up just thinking about that soup and how proud of myself I was that it came out delicious. I made this soup as a copycat to a soup that Panera Bread carried in 2015. This soup had been a comfort to me, a warm hug during moments where I heard nothing but those voices. The soup was discontinued but not forgotten. My comfort soup. My brothy hug of kale, lentils, quinoa, and tasty tomatoey broth with a quarter slice of a French Baguette for dipping.

The soup.

I managed to make this soup…but better and actually homemade, unlike Panera’s. I woke up earlier than usual to make my soup. I put effort into my soup. My soup came out wonderful, but with a few needed modifications next time. I felt good about this soup. Proud of this soup. Proud that I made something healthy and delicious for my family to eat while I was at work.

But I was told, per usual about things that excite me, that the soup was nasty. I was told that no one asked for it. I was told that “once again you made something no one will eat”.

“Why do you always do this?”; “You’re so selfish.”

Caught in the winds of my excitement, my sails were stilled in the wake of being shamed, once again, for something that I thought would be appreciated. That my effort and love language through food would be accepted. As always, it was the soup. That damn soup.

That soup no one asked for.

That soup that I was to feel ashamed for and feel that I shouldn’t be so selfish and self centered; it was the soup all along.

Do you understand where I’m going with this? What my soup means? Do you see that it’s always been the soup? The soup is the problem. I am the soup. I am the problem.

Why does it have to be like that? And why can’t it be better?

That damn delicious soup.

Never be ashamed of your soup.
