I read them all about 10 years ago when the site first went up and I just about spit out my soup reading caro's copypaste of Polynesian Snack, because I still remember it, word for word, after all these years! Oh, Internet, filling up valuable brain space with so much nonsense. rae on "*" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-ripple-effect-of-ylf#post-785927 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 08:07:22 +0000 rae 785927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, just saw this.

My Mom decided to try it...and found that the *three tablespoons* of chili powder was a little much for her palate. Me? I don't even find it spicy at all. Meanwhile, stepdad loved the soup, as he likes really spicy stuff. Just a warning - my idea of "smoky taste" is other people's idea of ridiculously spicy and overly hot. So, if anyone actually tries the soup recipe - my advice is to use 1/2 a tablespoon of chili powder and adjust upward to your own taste in terms of level of spiciness. Over and out... :) Gaylene on "*" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-ripple-effect-of-ylf#post-784117 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:33:44 +0000 Gaylene 784117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, MaryK, I actually wore a pantsuit just like that one in my early twenties, only in RED GINGHAM polyester. <<cringing in a corner>> Can you imagine when my date took me out to an Italian restaurant?

Your weight watchers link too... :P Your pumpkin terrine was at least gifted with the right spirit, my grandma loves to buy her daughter (my mum) similar items ordered from a catalogue roughly translated as "The good housewife" and she's completely serious. This is even more absurd if you consider that my mum works full time and my dad did the whole housekeeping for a long time.

I sent it to my husband and he got a good laugh out of it too. We're both "foodies" in a way, and this was just hilarious... In any case, now that you have an...(ugly?) green pumpkin-shaped soup tureen, you *need* to make my pumpkin sausage soup! PUMPKIN SAUSAGE SOUP ----------------------------------------- 4 carrots 4 celery stalks 1 onion 2 lbs bulk sausage (I like Jimmy Dean All Natural) 6 cups chicken broth 1 large (29 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree (Libby is best, and two ordinary-sized smaller cans will work too) 3 tablespoons chili powder salt and pepper olive oil Chop up the carrot, celery and onion (you're making your own 'mirepoix'). Sautee in a giant soup pot with some olive oil, until the onions have softened. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, brown up (and cook thoroughly) the sausage meat. Once the onions/veggies have softened up in the soup pot, and the sausage is browned up - transfer the sausage to the large soup pot, using a slotted spoon. Add six cups chicken broth (ie. 1.5 tetra paks of chicken broth - I like the Pacific brand), and add one giant can of pure pumpkin puree, and the chili powder. Whisk around with a whisk to blend the pumpkin into the broth. Simmer on medium heat for about an hour, until the veggies have cooked through (carrots etc.). This sounds weird, but it's really quite delicious, and no - the three tbsp. of chili powder does not make it too spicy or anything...it imparts a smoky flavour to the pumpkin. An extremely hearty meal on a cold winter's night. Leftovers are great (for lunch - especially if its cold out). If anything, its even better the next day - the flavours meld very nicely. You can also freeze the leftovers for another night's dinner when you don't feel like cooking. When I have a batch of this in the freezer, I just plunk the frozen soup into a soup pot on the stove and heat it up until thawed and cooked through - voila! No cooking that night. The pumpkin sausage soup is low-carb, non-dairy, gluten-free and fairly healthy depending on what kind of sausage you choose. Super filling (a big bowl of this at dinner is definitely a meal) and just wonderful at this time of year. Enjoy your new soup tureen...lol!!! Not sure I'd bother to transfer it into the tureen, but hey - it's pumpkin soup. It'll work. :) eta: just about any kind of sausage will work, breakfast sausage, turkey sausage, what have you. That said, I don't recommend "Italian" sausage for this recipe as the flavours might not go so well with the chili powder and pumpkin. Just a last-minute thought - I've never used Italian sausage with this particular recipe. Usually some form of breakfast sausage or other mild variety. eta (again!): um...I am not sure I'd ever use a soup tureen for anything....I love to cook and entertain, and cannot imagine using a soup tureen. If I were serving soup - I'd be ladeling it into the bowls from the soup pot on the stove before serving at the table. What in the world are you going to *do* with this thing???? Use it as a jewelry box? Put office supplies into it and keep it on your desk (ie. rubber bands, paper clips) ????? Still laughing over here....

For a friend of yours to send you that pumpkin tureen.....just too. much. holiday. goodness. For my wedding gift, my kooky girlfriend gave us this ceramic hat, for serving chips (in the brim) and dip (in the hat's crown). It is extremely tacky and very funny. When we put it out I feel the need to explain it to people. Maybe you can just be the proud, unapologetic owner of the pumpkin tureen!!
