Soup
Day Beef Noodles Soup
This
soup is just what it says it is basically a beef soup with added
noodles. What makes it interesting is the added veggies and spices.
It has ginger ,garlic and cloves with a dash of soy sauce and of
course the noodles are cooked in the broth and so get the flavor of
the soup.The veggies are varied but the colors of the spinach and
carrots add to the interesting look.
Mike
had added egg noodles rather than the plain noodles and they were
tasty.
It
is a somewhat delicate light soup with a thin broth but I felt the
flavors had not sufficiently matured. This might be a better soup
either cooked for longer or eaten on the second day. Mike gave it
an 8 and I gave it a 7; Our friends Ros and Agnes who came to visit
with us seemed to enjoy it although Agnes says she does prefer
thicker type soups. My only preference is to have a smooth soup
either thick or thin.
We
started out with wheat bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar always a pleasure Then we had our soup, with much discussion
on the various ingredients.
Then to finish we tried my experimental
cookies which I had baked this morning, sweet potato and pecan
cookies. You can see the recipe here.http://southernfood.about.com/od/sweetpotatodess/r/bl91112a.htm
They
were, shall we say ,“interesting' neither sweet or spicy but
edible and finished off the meal just fine.
Another
very pleasant soup day enjoyed with friends.
