SUMMER VEGETABLE CHOWDER FOR A FRIEND

I made this soup recipe for my friend Mamaloo, and it was so simple and so good that I had to share.

I followed the recipe pretty much to a T.  I think next time I might use stock instead of water, but other than that, it was really flavorful and tasty.  At first the soup seems more appropriate for fall, but the sweetness of the fresh corn really makes it more of a summer soup (for a not-too-hot day).

I served it with plenty of habañero hot sauce and topped it with shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese.  I thought it was wonderful that way.

The recipe made so much that I was able to freeze half of it for another time.  Can't get more family friendly that that.

Recipe courtesy of the July/August 2005 issue of Everyday Food.

Can you freeze your cucumber soup or vichyssoise?

I don't know, but I have a big batch and would love to know if vichyssoise COULD or COULD NOT be frozen, thawed and enjoyed???

Cooking Gear To Spice Things Up

  • All-Clad cookware
    I use the stainless line. I love it because you can put it in the dishwasher. If you like to cook it is sooo worth it to have quality pots and pans. I recommend buying a set on sale and then filling in extras as you need them. (Watch for sales and specials.)
  • Cast Iron Skillet
    Please get rid of all your teflon-coated non-stick plans and get a cast iron skillet. I use mine for searing meat, poultry, and fish and then finishing off in the oven. In fact, get two cast iron skillets—one large enough to hold two ribeyes and a smaller, fried-egg-sized one for making...well...eggs.
  • Food Processor
    Quickly slice/shred veggies and cheese, make hummus or other spreads in a snap, and make pie crust without making a mess.
  • Global Knives
    I am partial to the 18 incher. Yep, I like big knives and I cannot lie. If you like to cook (or even if you don't) you deserve to have good knives. At least one.
  • Instant Hot Water Dispenser
    If you can't afford to have one built-in, this is a great alternative. It's nice to have boiling water at the push of a button to make tea, instant miso soup, or morning oatmeal for the kidlets.
  • Microplane Grater/Zester
    Use this to grate citrus zest, nutmeg, and cheese. You could get a coarser one, but you don't need to. I have one and I use it for everything.
  • Penzey's Spices
    A great resource for all your herb and spice needs.
  • Rice Cooker
    Every family should have one.
  • Silpat
    Silpat is a silicone mat used for baking. They come in various sizes. Items will not stick to it. It is a must for any home baker.
  • Stick or Immersion Blender
    It doesn't have to be fancy, but try and get the highest HP you can afford. I use my stick blender (+ attachments) for making salad dressing (weekly), pureeing soups, making babyfood, and whipping cream.
