Sunday Soup Night at Susie’s

I apologize for the corny alliteration of these posts so far. I swear it’s just a coincidence. But if Susie’s Diner was to open, I would need some catchy menu items, right? And, of course, a soup du jour.

Susie's Stone Soup

Thus, most Sunday nights of this cold Alaskan winter, have been spent experimenting with various soups, stews and chowders. Mainly, the recipe revolves around what veggies are rotting in the fridge. I tried a Portugeuse Stone Soup recipe from Williams-Sonoma’s Soups & Salads, substituting in moose chorizo sausage for pork, garbanzos for kidney beans, kale for savoy cabbage, sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes and turnips. It certainly came out colorful, and tasted pretty good, but it may need some more tweaking to become one of Susie’s Soup of the day….

Mmmm. That sounds good. I’ll have that.
