Vichyssoise

   Let me say first and for most, I never had even heard of vichyssoise before I came across this recipe. Now, that I know what it is, I'm not a fan, but someone out there has to be since it has made its way into cookbooks.
   I have loved everything from the Audrey Hepburn book, have even repeated some of the recipes I made already, so if you love vichyssoise, you should give this a shot.


 Ingredients
    1 onion, finely sliced
    2 leek hearts
    3 1/2 tbs of unsalted butter
    1 quart of chicken broth
    2 potatoes, diced
    1 tbs of chopped chives
    Nutmeg
    Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 cup of cream


Directions
    Cook onions and leeks in butter on low heat for 15 minutes.
    Add the broth, potatoes, chives, nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 30 minutes.
    Pour in cream and blend together.
    Cool for at least 4 hours.








Changes I made!
     You do have to free hand the nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce, so know what you like.


Recipe from Audrey at Home.

Beef & Veggie Soup

     I love a good soup. They're usually super easy to make, and they make a lot.      This recipe from Taste of Home threw me for a curve ball though since you make it in a skillet, but overall it was injured and amazing. Ingredients       1 lb beef       1/2 cup of onions       1 15 ounce can tomato sauce       1 1/2 cup of frozen mixed veggies thawed       1 1/4 cup of frozen corn thawed       1 1/4 cup of beef broth       1 tbs of soy sauce       1 tbs molasses Directions      In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat, until no more pink.      Drain      Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.      Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Changes I made!       My only big complaint with this is that I wasn't...
