Soup Diary 090921

I wrote earlier in this space about my experiment to make some 16 Bean Soup from scratch, and how it didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped. Well, yesterday, I decided to experiment a bit with the remaining leftover soup to see if I couldn't improve it. First, I broke in my new blender and ground the stuff down to the consistency of a rather loose oatmeal. Before switching on the blender, I dropped a half slice of Swiss cheese into the mix. After heating up the result, I dropped a dollop of sour cream into the bowl, swirling it into the creamy soup. Success! The result was much better than the original, and it only goes to show that almost can be improved by the addition of cheese (thanks to Mom for the suggestion!).
