Pepper flakes improve almost anything!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting!<br /><br />@Duchesse--I once had a nightmare soup served in a pumpkin shell. The cook didn't clean out the inside, so strings and seeds were in every bite.<br /><br />@Funny--If I ever have a truffle, it is going in a pasta dish! How lucky that you got to eat that dish.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-32306613900913206902009-11-04T18:32:13.258-06:002009-11-04T18:32:13.258-06:00Interesting combination.

I've never been nuts about pumpkin soup, but the addition of the beans and cabbage...hmmmm....<br /><br />A friend of mine made, off the top of his head, an interesting pumpkin sauce that he served with lamb. He added (yes!) truffles and also made it slightly spicy with a small amount of fresh hot pepper. Don't recall if it had garlic but probably did. It was pretty good.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-44566634022735120552009-11-04T16:45:57.305-06:002009-11-04T16:45:57.305-06:00My mother used to say, "Anyone can be a good ...My mother used to say, "Anyone can be a good cook if they use enough butter and cream". I had a similar thought reading this: butter and stock will make a half decent soup out of about anything. Judicious seasoning helps too.<br /><br />Someone once served me a pumpkin stew in its tureen, the hollowed-out pumpkin. Very charming. Not a fabulous soup but the presentation was a knockout.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-75148761133518310722009-11-04T14:33:34.477-06:002009-11-04T14:33:34.477-06:00We do a similar soup but use hominy instead of bea...We do a similar soup but use hominy instead of beans and jazz it up with a little cumin and red pepper flakes. Nothing really has to "cook" if you used canned pumpkin/hominy and finely shred the cabbage, just heat and the cabbage stays crunchy.<br /><br />We like it.<br /><br />Darla<br /><br />PS - I've been following along here for a bit.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729017606957829830noreply@blogger.com
