Vegetable Soup

               

Vegetable soup:

One onion, two turnips, a bunch of carrots, two leeks, a few collard leaves, one potato, the heart of the celery, two cups of white wine (one to drink and one for the pot,) a few sage leaves...

Several different hunks of cheese.

Loaves of crusty bread.

Cold, cold, cold day outside.

A good book and a hand made blanket to wrap around your knees.

A roaring fire, music (not opera) and the twinkling of the Christmas tree's lights.

Lovely weekend.

Note:  As we do not have a TV (by choice) I have never watched Seinfield. Today while looking up "soup" on YOU TUBE I found this clip...Man, did I miss out of some good soup or what?

Seinfield's Soup!

MN sent me this clip: A French Seinfield: La Soupe aux Choux.

Sounds heavenly. And such a beautiful photo - makes me want to paint rather than cook. Those yummy-looking creamy turnips...

Corey, I hope you don't mind but I had to comment on my blog about your Seinfeld Soup.

OMG Corey,
That is a classic Seinfeld episode.
You did miss out on that one.
I love making homemade soup for dinner.
Sounds good on a cold day.

the soup nazi "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" too funny...

[Alice]

Soup, soup, soup! I love soup! Nothing better than a big bowl of wonderful soup on a cold night! And, Corey...congratulations on your article in 'Victoria'! Wonderful, just wonderful! Wishing you and your family a most wonderfully happy holiday!

I'm all for the soup. But why not opera? I think it goes pretty well with soup myself...

[jzr]

It's a soup day here today! Time to put the pot on!!

[martina]

Perfect day to make soup here. It is very cold and rainy outside, all of the Christmas shopping and wrapping is done. The French clip was hysterical, even though I am not fluent in French it was easily understandable.

Hi Corey,

It's always nice to hear about fellow non-TV-watchers. Though Seinfeld was definitely my favorite show growing up. "No soup for you!" is still a catchphrase in my family :)

[Frieda]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND WISH YOU THE BEST 2008!

XOXOX

[Di Overton]

Merry Christmas Corey. Have a wonderful time. Never mind the TV it's all c*!p anyway :)

[beachy]

Smart move not having a TV!!! They can become a bad influence for mind-numbing entertainment (YES, I have a TV)! LOL My husband's mother never allowed a TV in the house when he and my BIL grew up, and hubby is now a VERY avid reader. =)

[deirdre]

Hmm. Sounds like something I need to plan for tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening.

[Marva Plummer-Bruno]

Corey - this sounds wonderfully relaxing, as I prepare to go to the mall with my daughters, the weekend before Christmas. :O Marva

[cruststation]

A hearty soup by the fire on a cold day...that's heaven!

[My Melange]

Corey,

It just so happens that Seinfeld is one of our favorite shows :) Those soup episodes were hysterical!!! Your recipe looks delicious...both for the soup and how to enjoy it ;)

[the farmer's wife]

Soup - yes! I'm going to make Artichoke & Blue Cheese Bisque for Christmas dinner. Have a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for including the Seinfeld soup clip.

[Miss Sandy]

My favorite of your soup ingredients are the roaring fire, warm blanket, and a good book. I could never convince my family to give up TV, I however, rarely watch it. I have never seen Seinfeld either. Have a lovely weekend!

Sounds perfect to me. I'm a soup fan and thought the Seinfield soup episodes were hilarous.

A vegetable soup before christmas that is the BEST THING AND MEAL I've never thought !!!
With the weather outside with blanket , a very nice sup of tea , and may be some macarons

[Marie-Noëlle]

A home-made soup - for 1 or 2 or more !- is always so delicious and appreciated !!!

[Britt-Arnhild]

I never watch TV either, books, music, silence are always better :-)

No soup for me yet, my husband and youngest daughter are out to buy the Christmas tree. I am cleaning the house and decorating with old and new memories. Plan to make pizza tonight and sit in front of the fire. Then it is my time to wrap in a handsewn quilt and read an old Christmas book.

Have a great day.

No soup for you!

I love you
