Soups Galore

I have been loving making soups. I have always loved soups. But never really had the kitchen or the know how to make them good. But, just recently, a local Fairbanks chef, who has volunteered his time to cook for our Benefit Dinners, came over to the Pratt's to help us with cooking...and in the process, taught this amateur some culinary basics, such as:

How to cut an onion

Mise on plays, all at once!

Don't leave out the fond!

Spicy is not hot

Making a soup stock

These simple tips were just the tools I needed to create some healthy and tasty soups...

Kale and cabbage chicken soup

Kale and cabbage mongolian soup

Kale and cabbage moose sausage soup

Kale and cabbage veggie soup

Kale and cabbage ground moose soup

And a few more. :)

Thanks to Chef J and the encouragement of my friend Alicia, I am on my way to a lifetime of soup eating.

This has been the ULTIMATE tastiness for me...Kale, cabbage, onion, little bit of potato, carrot, garbanzo beans, little bit of cauliflower, little bit of tomato, little bit of Ortega chili with the chicken, noodles, and spice.
