Adventures of a Twig: Salmon cream soup - 14,... →
sparrowed7: Sometime last week I had told Tinus’s mom about a soup I like to make that I thought she would enjoy. It is creamy, kind of reminiscent of a “chowder”, and has salmon in it. She said it sounded good and that I should make it if I wanted to. I was all for this, but it is definitely a cold weather…

The First French Onion Soup
When I was still a starving undergrad, I used to hangout and sometimes spend lunch breaks at the library. There I’d have a full course meal, starting with books on different appetizers, through the main course, then the desserts. If I was extra ravenous, I’d have 2 courses or cakes. By my fourth year, I was such an epicure, that I’d carefully select the books and have a themed...

Ginger Chicken Soup
Ginger Chicken Soup (Recipe #3) Rate: Easy Serves: 6 This is loosely based on a traditional Filipino dish called “tinola”. This soup or stew (depends on how you small you cut the chicken) has a characteristic ginger flavor. The addition of green papaya makes it a bit sweetish. This dish is perfect for dinner with or without a side of steamed rice. I love this plain. Ingredients: ...

Hearty Egg Noodle Soup
Hearty Egg Noodle Soup (Recipe #2) Rating: Easy Serves: 4 people, snack This is a simple and hearty chicken noodle soup popular in Chinese restaurants. Instead of using traditional spices, I just rely on the flavors from the onion leaves and egg. If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you may want to add 3 T pureed onion leaves to the broth before boiling the noodles. Ingredients: ...

Creamy Mushroom Soup (Recipe #1) Rating: Easy Serves: 6 hungry people This is my version of the infamous Jollibee creamy mushroom soup.I have no idea how they make it, but having eaten bowls of it and experimenting just as many times I guess I have the cred to claim this recipe tastes close to the real thing. Just like any other home cooks, I am not into careful measurement. Please adjust as...

A soup blog
I love soups. The above three-letter-word is an understatement of my affection for this kind of dish. Soup to me connotes healing; it is that warm wool blanket on a rainy afternoon. I have always enjoyed cooking soup and sharing it with my friends, family and office mates. There are few constant things in my life and soup is one of them. My aim is to chronicle the different soups I’ve...
