I did another version of black bean-wild rice-smoked turkey soup. This time I did the 4-S thing--sweet, spicy, sour, salty. I took the turkey stock from Monday, added wild rice, chick peas, black beans, a bit of liquid smoke, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, bok choy, mushrooms, chopped turkey, and now for the sour--some chopped gherkins, black olives, green olives, red wine vinegar, splash of hot sauce, a bit of maple syrup, and some fish sauce. Must say, it was different--somewhat addictive. Reminded me of Hot-Sour soup without the bean sprouts.
I did add some capers, more hot sauce, and dill pickle juice after the first bowl. I could see making this with tofu and bean sprouts...definitely not my grandma's turkey soup! Oh--I forgot, I also put in about 1-1/2 tsp anchovy paste when the soup was simmering.Yummy! Oh, I love bean sprouts, bet it would be good with your soup!
The inclusion of the olives, gherkins, and capers was inspired by the thread about the German (Russian) soup with sour cream. I would never have thought of adding those to soup! They worked. That's what I like about DC, it makes me stretch my palate.That sounds like a wonderfully comforting soup on a cold day like today. Yumm!
We went to subway for lunch & had a 6" sweet tereyaki chicken sub. with 1/2 small bag of harvest cheddar sun chips.
It is so hard to resist all those Christmas goodies It's taking all my willpower to hold out until Christmas eve to finally eat one of those russian teacakes.1/2 cup of spiral pasta and clam marinara sauce and a glass of skim milk. I avoided all the goodies in the lounge, but finally secumbed to a one inch diamond of baklava. Dang, it was good!

Dark chocolate is good for you & so are oranges. So, it only stands to reason to put that chocolate orange out of it's misery.A cup of lentil soup with 1.5 ounces of ham. Water, water, water. Then I messed up the whole day by eating a serving of Dark Chocolate Orange and a hot chocolate. Had to do it, somebody bought the chocolate orange...
