Sunchokes Soup

Submitted by admin on Thursday, 13 November 20082 Comments

sunchokesYou are probably wondering by now as to why we are only having soup this week, after all, I did mention last week that we were having company.  Yes, Lenny’s cousin David, is here from Montreal;  but, the boys have been in Vegas all week ……. not having fun, I am sure, but rather working.  Now, I am bummed not only because it means I have not seen my other half for almost a week, but, I like having company stay with us.  It gives me a great excuse to show off my cooking talents and to make some things I normally don’t make for two of us.  Unfortunately, I am not sure how much cooking we are going to get in for David’s holiday with us. They get back late Friday night and then we have a huge job until the following Thursday at which time David is going to have to fly back to Montreal.  So, that is why we or I have been dining on soup all week.

I normally don’t post about leftovers, because we don’t have them around and we really don’t like them.  But,  I wanted to post tonight and Ijust had to tell you that the soup was even better the second day.  The flavor of the sunchokes was really more intense tonight, a deeper earthy taste and it actually had a hint of artichoke hearts.  I really enjoyed it even more the second time around.

    There are so many soups and stews that simply taste better the next day. I am glad you had the extra and gave it another shot in order to discover how the flavors intensify. Maybe this is one soup it would be best to make a day ahead of time and then reheat.

    And hey – congrats on the T’giving Sides Recipe Challenge win! I hope your guests at the table that day are appropriately impressed with their award winning dish.. : )

  • I just love soup, all day long! Now that it’s getting colder, I can eat tons of it !

    I’m really interested in the sun chokes, have seen them alot, but never tried. But will do for sure!

    Sorry to hear that your lovie is away. If you were close, you know you could be over at our place anytime!
