Souptember Day 19

Yesterday’s cereal soup can be viewed here

We’re almost in the last 10 soups

I’m sure I’m going to make the Alphabet soup this week, and my birthday is next week so that’ll be a fun soup I’m sure

And I will use the instant pot again, but I need to get all the ingredients for it

So big things are coming for soups, but I need to make sure I have everything, and that I have the energy to make it

Souptember Day 16

Well we’re past the halfway point in the month now, and you can see yesterday’s Oatmeal recipe here

Guess what:

I FINALLY FOUND ALPHABET SOUP

It’s tomato though (yuck)

I hope I mentioned before, but my firm belief is that tomato soup is not a soup

At most it’s a broth

It’s gross

I’ll have to get ingredients to actually make it taste good, so it won’t be immediately when I make and post the soup, but keep an eye out

Now let’s get into today’s soup and see what there is for the second half of the month

Zuppa Toscana

This one’s a pretty easy one to make, because there’s not too many ingredients

Plus: you technically don’t even have to make it yourself!

You do need to make sure your vehicle is drivable so you can get everything you need for the soup

Like I mentioned previously, my car is slightly damaged now, but it thankfully still runs

What you will need

  • A working vehicle
  • Money

The first thing you’ll need to do is drive to your nearest Olive Garden

For some people, this may be either the hardest or longest step depending on where you live

Luckily, there was an Olive Garden just 15 minutes away from my place

Once you get a seat, order the unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks, and choose the Zuppa Toscana

The first thing you will receive is the breadsticks

This is pretty good bread, and it’s completely okay to eat some of it, but don’t fill up on bread because it’s not legally soup

You will next receive Olive Garden’s unlimited salad

I do really like their salad. It tastes really good

I do want to emphasize though that their salad IS NOT SOUP

It’s like the antithesis of soup, so do not eat too much of it during Souptember, or I think you might get arrested or something

Finally! Your soup

The waiter or waitress will offer to shred some cheese on it, and be sure to tell them when to stop or I think they’ll have to keep shredding until their arms fall off

It’s a really good soup, and I almost always choose it when I come to the restaurant

If you liked it as much as me, you can ask for a to-go bowl and take some home

I personally did, and leftover soup always is good, and I have another soup container!

Hope you enjoyed your soup today, and see you tomorrow!

Souptember Day 15

Well here we are

Day Fifteen

Halfway through the month

Overall, I think it’s been a pretty good month so far, you can read yesterday’s chili post here

You know, except for the fact that my car got damaged recently, but I’m working on getting it repaired

I don’t know, this intro part it probably the hardest part to write for these posts, because I can never think about what to say

I don’t want to reveal the soup this early in the recipe, because most recipes have long walls of text before they get into the actual recipe, and I want to use that as inspiration for my writing

Speak for long periods before getting to the point

We could only be so lucky we have recipes to do that for us

Souptember Day 12

We’re getting up there

Getting close to the halfway point for Souptember

Yesterday I showed you all how to make soup with Spaghetti-O’s, but I guess today we could briefly talk about another soup in a movie, Ratatouille

It was one of the first things Ratatouille did in the movie, and showed a passion for cooking

Also I think when it came out, it made me want to cook and experiment with food

Soup is pretty easy to cook. You need spices, ingredients, and a liquid

With all that said, let’s get into today’s soup

Souptember Day 12

Okay so I’m going to tell you what the soup for today is in the intro this time

Why? Because I am a bit frustrated right now because of some personal issues, and I can’t think of anything clever to say in this post

It’s Spaghetti-O’s

It might not be “soup” like you’d traditionally think, but Campbell’s makes it

The soup company

And right now it’s a replacement for the alphabet soup they used to make and apparently don’t make anymore

The only letter in this alphabet is the letter O though, so hopefully you like that letter

Souptember Day 11

Yesterday I made some Ramen, and it’s the start of the short trend of budget soups

Running out of ingredients, and the goal for this week now is to make soups with the lowest expense possible, and still taste good

I might make some soups with more ingredients than previous ones, but that’s only to use up the ingredients I originally bought for previous soups

Hopefully these are soups everyone can make, with limited ingredients

So without further ado, let’s get to souping!

Souptember Day 10

So yesterday we made a really good Pumpkin soup, but I want to take this day’s intro to talk about something that’s been bothering me recently during this soup month

It’s regarding a soup that I really wanted to make

Alphabet soup

I looked everywhere in stores nearby, and even online, and I could not find it anywhere

It’s like the soup doesn’t even exist!

And I know it does. I’ve had it when I was younger, and there even was a movie in the middle 90’s that had an entire scene about it

I mean look at this!

I was going to make some great alphabet soup, and I could do something fun with the letters because I’m doing writing about the soup. It could’ve been really meta and cool

But now I cannot make the soup

I found alphabet noodles for sale, but they’re located in Virginia, and that’s too far do drive to get them, so if I decide to order online delivery, it will be a while before I make that soup

Well keep an eye out I guess to see if I make it or not

Let’s just go on to today’s soup
