Soups 1, 2 and 3

 Well I have somewhat successfuly made my first 3 soups! 

I say somewhat as I have learned a couple of things, most importantly follow the recipe as is. I love to cook, and love to bake even more. My mom was an excellent cook and even better baker and she taught me everything I know. Including a pinch of this and a dab of that. I’ve learned to cook and bake by taste and texture while also somewhat following a recipe, and been very successful with it. There has been some flops, but for the most part success. I’ve found you cannot do the same with soup, at least I can’t yet. 

First soup was Loaded Baked Potatoe - takeaway is don’t go by the ‘rules’ I’ve learned along the way. The soup was good, but not as flavorful as I think it would have been if I’d followed the recipe exactly and used all the spices needed. I also found it to be a bit thick. 

Soup 2 - Chicken Corn Chowder - didn’t learn my lesson from soup 1 and same takeaway. 

Soup 3 - Beef Barley, and in my opinion the best one of the three. And guess what, lesson learned, recipe followed exactly. Flavorful, and perfect consistency. 

While I choose my personal requirements for myself, and choose what I think will be beneficial to me; I did think others would find this one silly when I shared it. But, there was actually some interest, so that was pleasantly surprising, and even a couple of requests to share my recipes. I’ve tried to load the links for the recipes, but it is not working. If you are interested I can copy the recipes I used. 

Haven’t decided on soup 4 yet, but I’ll keep you posted!
