I did a little grocery shopping today and decided to have a hummus wrap for
dinner. But... Our warm and slightly muggy weather has now changed to cold
and super muggy weather. My body is wanting soup! What to do, what to do?

Perhaps I will just have the hummus wrap along with some vegetable broth?

No. Just annoyed with this weather. Seems that it has gotten a touch
warmer now.

Sorry, I don't know what cans of soup you bought.

There is no need to make a huge production out of it. If you have the
ingredients on hand it's pretty easy to make soup. Except when you hate
everything.

I didn't follow this to the T.
Mexican Fiesta Soup with Roasted Tomatillo and Cilantro Pesto
http://www.marthastewart.com/356048/...cilantro-pesto

Made half the recipe. Added half a pound of reconstituted dried
(small white) beans. Used half a can of diced tomato and salsa + an
entire jalapeno and 1/2 a lime, juiced.... didn't measure, but
probably 2 cups + of fresh corn that had been "fire roasted" and cut
off the cob (I reject what the recipe suggests). I would have also
added chicken meat, but didn't have any and didn't want to go
shopping. It was good anyway - I used a *very* rich homemade chicken
stock, but I would have liked some chicken meat in there too.

You'd substitute vegetable stock.

I don't have the ingredients to make soup and... I think I am getting sick.
Chilling. Which would explain why it seems colder to me than it likely is.
I have opted for the flat bread with a little hummus as I have a feeling it
won't be with me for long.

That looks good except for the avocado and sadly I have found that for most
things, subbing in vegetable broth leaves it lacking in flavor. The soup is
also pretty carby so wouldn't be doable for me. I can do bean soups because
they contain protein. When I eat soup, the soup is almost always the meal
for me. But thanks!

YW. The soup was the meal for us, no extras such as bread or
tortillas. Like I said, I didn't follow the recipe to a T. I have
avocado but it was suggested as a garnish - so I didn't bother. I'd
rather have it as guacamole or in a BLAT.

I like making chowders with their potato soup as a base, easy peasy!
Unfortunately, hubby over dosed on it years ago and has had an

I rarely use a recipe for soup. Most of the time when I make it, I am doing
it to use up veggies. But right now my fridge is pretty empty.

I know people who like that. I've never tried it. Pretty sure it contains
stuff that I can't have.

I don't do that. I rarely need to use up any vegetables, let me
rephrase - I never need to use up vegetables. If I had to use up
vegetables, I'd make chicken pot pie.

You said you don't like soup made with vegetable broth because it lacks
flavour. Yet you were going to have vegetable broth and a hummus wrap.
Make up your mind. Do you like vegetable stock or not?

Hope you feel better.

What, you've got no canned beans and tomatoes, no onions, garlic,
herbs, no carrots, lentils, peanut butter, fresh green or frozen
vegetables? None of those things in the house?

Thai and Chinese soups sometimes call for peanuts or peanut butter.

Yes, it's a great way to thicken and add some protein, and very
tasty.

Try cauiliflower and peanut spicy soup, lots of recipes online.

Well, I am the only one here that likes that and I can't eat it. There are
many times that I have small amounts of vegetables that are not really
enough to do much with except to put in a soup. Sometimes I also have a bit
of leftover meat. Or even some leftover pasta or rice. Now if I plan ahead
of time to make soup, I will buy specific things. Otherwise it is "clean
out the refrigerator" soup. Never the same twice.

My pot pies have very specific vegetables in them. Always onions, celery
and carrots. Sometimes peas.

That's not what I said. I said when I use a recipe that calls for chicken
broth but I sub in vegetable, the flavor profile isn't right. I certainly
do use vegetable broth in vegetable soup.

As it turns out, I am sick. Might be a migraine. Am feeling some better.
Still not much appetite but I didn't throw up as I feared that I would
yesterday. I wound up eating flat bread with a small amount of hummus.
Then later I had a can of beef and barley soup.

Thanks!

I can't eat lentils. They spike my blood sugar. Only fresh vegetables I
have are onions, potatoes, lettuce, two bell peppers, baby carrots and
celery. Of course I have beans of all kinds and lots of canned veg. I
wanted soup but didn't want to make a big pot of it because it is summer and
we are set to have hot weather again. When I make soup, I either use up
small amounts of veggies from the fridge or I buy them specifically. Yes, I
could use all canned stuff and sometimes have but that would make a big pot.

As it turned out, it wasn't all that cold. Temp. was 65 but perhaps it felt
cold because we had a rapid drop in temp. from almost 100. And I am sick.
I think I was chilling but didn't realize it until the stomach pains began.

Last month? Certainly not. I don't need canned goods. I got soda pop but
that was last month. Surely you don't think that I still have that! I have
to buy soda pop every week. I did stock up enough to have some for two
weeks. I did say that I was finding really good prices on canned goods. I
didn't buy them because I already have plenty. I am trying to use those up
now and get fresh for the winter. But as I said... I have no need for a
big pot of soup. It's summer and I am here alone. If I were going to make
it just for me, I'd pay through the nose and get stuff from the salad bar to
make a small pot.

I certainly wouldn't do it but there is a peanut butter soup. Here is one:

http://www.adamspeanutbutter.com/recipes/lunch/3244

I couldn't tell you if it is good or not. Does not appeal to me. There are
also African and Thai recipes. But I know that peanut butter soup has been
around for yonks. I have read recipes for it in the Good Old Days.

I don't know why but if I eat warm peanut butter, it comes right back up. I
used to try to eat peanut butter on toast. Just does not work for me unless
I am certain that the toast is very cold and then there's really no reason
to put it there, IMO. Just eat it on bread. For that reason, I would never
use it in a cooked dish. Exception being some sweets that are served cold
or at room temp.

That's a good reason to have a thermometer. I mean an outdoor
thermometer. Maybe tune into the local weather on TV. (I can't wait to
tell me why you can't do that.)

Uh, okay. Take whatever the psychic tells you and report back in the
morning. Or, here's a novel idea. Stop eating pretty much nothing but
*beans*.

Believe me I have had them and not always the same kind. This seems to be a
mild one. Not the full blown aural stuff. And when it struck, we were
having lightning. What I saw, didn't quite seem like lightning nor was it
as pronounced as the aura that I sometimes get. But because I was able to
lie down right away, I think it kept it from progressing.

I have thermometers all over and I know how to go to weather.com. How do you
think I got the temp.? But at the time when I began chilling, I was at the
grocery store. I commented to the checker how cold it was and she agreed.
But it was also very muggy and we don't usually get muggy. Humidity was
around 80%.

I only ate a small amount of hummus. I have to eat protein. I didn't buy
any meat that I can eat except for turkey and bacon. Wasn't in the mood for
turkey and did eat a BLT the day before.

So you did have the ingredients to make soup.

Thanks, I saved it. I'd have to cut the corn off the cob. My husband
won't fuss with something like that in his soup.

That's what I did too, Janet! I used corn that I had "fire roasted"
already.

OMG! I didn't have ingredients for the kind of soup that *I* would want to
eat. Particularly yesterday when I wasn't feeling well. Or in the
quantities that I would have needed. As it turned out, I had no broth
whatever, that I can eat. There is one can of chicken broth out there. My
cans of vegetables are all around the 14-16 oz size. Not really sure what
size they are now and not going to check but I do know that one can split
between two of us is what we eat for dinner. Yeah, it's a little more than
one serving each but we love our veggies. When I do canned veggies for the
three of us, that's where I have that little bit left over. And when I get
enough of those, that's when I make soup.

Sure, I could open several cans of things and make a big pot of soup but a
big pot of soup is not something I want in the summer. I was very low on
fresh foods and I wanted it to be that way. I did stock up on a few things
at Costco today and I also stopped at the grocery store for some canned soup
because I mostly only have bean with bacon. I do have some others but they
are not things that I particularly like such as Campbell's tomato. I do
like tomato. Just not theirs. Also have chicken and noodle which I can not
eat. Was rather appalled at the price of canned soup at Albertsons. $1.99
each! Will remember to get more next time I go to Winco as it is far
cheaper there.

Do you always have to get up on the wrong side of the bed?

Jesu Christe. If you're having a migraine you would not be parked in
front of a computer typing out a bunch of crap.

Of course not. It's much easier just to bitch about it here.

Is there *anything* you can eat?! You said you had vegetable broth.
Then you said it is too weak, so I guess you've never made an actual
vegetable broth.

But you can't eat chicken.

Uh huh. It's no wonder they don't want to eat what you cook. Soup made
from already cooked leftover canned vegetables. Yikes!

But you said it's COLD outside and you want soup. So make up your
friggin mind, Julie. Do you want soup or not? If so, make some soup.
I don't care if it's winter spring summer or fall. Open a can of
whatever soup and heat it up. Or make a pot of vegetable soup. I have
no idea what you're bitching about.

You can't imagine what? Someone cutting corn off a cob? You really are
unbelievable. I wonder how you think those cans of corn (you love
canned vegetables, right?) come from. They were cut off the cob. HELLO.

So make soup, eat some, and put the rest in the fridge. Just like the
rest of us do.

Take the soup you didn't eat and put it in the freezer. Then the next
time you have a problem like this you can take a single-serve
container out of the freezer and eat it. Like the rest of us do.
