Yep, soup girl (girl is used loosely) is at it again. I am cleaning our the fridge and chopping and washing and simmering and sauteeing all in my nightdress. Once the cooking bug hits me, I have to get at it. I have a lovely base going for this unusual soup and although it won't be as good as the last batch of cauliflower soup that I raved about, it will be different and tasty. Andy and I like a certain kind of brats, Johnsonville original recipe. Andy discovered brats in miniature... like breakfast brats and brought home a package. I decided today to put them into the base of this soup that is simmering away on the stove at the moment. I still have some blanched brussel sprouts, so they are going in as I figure out what to add. I am trying out a new pot that I got at Marshals yesterday while Beth and I were running around. It holds a lot of goodies and seems to be working well enough.
I am treating Beth and me to roasted fennel tonight. I adore it in any form, but roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper; it's the best way to serve it.
Let's see where this day takes us. Stir in some miniature pasta carried home from Italy...
