Hi Dave,
RH> Ageed, this is not the time of year for hot soups.
DD> That sort of depends on the soup. Like chilli, a good soup ia good
DD> no matter the outside temperature.
RH> When we were in Ohio last month, we were given a can of Cincinnati
RH> chili. Had it last night, on spaghetti and topped with Mexican blend
RH> cheese. Interesting to try, glad we didn't have to buy the can tho.
DD> What brand was it? I find that the Empress brand is a good
DD> representative of the Cincinnati-style of chilli. Did it have beans or
DD> was it just meat. If there were beans what you made was "Chilli 4
DD> ways" Otherwise it was
DD> "Chilli 3 ways" (Chilli, pasta, cheese).
It was a blue can, just said "Cincinnati Chili, Original Recipe". We had
it on whole wheat spaghetti, topped with Mexican cheese blend.
DD> My "As Seen on TV" onion chopper comes in very handy when making this
DD> soup. I use the 1/4" (coarse) plate for the peppers and the 1/8"
DD> (fine) plate for the onion.
RH> That would work. We recently replaced our garlic chopper, one we'd
RH> bought years ago at William's Sonoma, a smaller version of your "ASOTV"
RH> chopper. Found a little round one at Cracker Barrel so got one for
RH> home, one for the camper.
DD> I've got a couple of full-size onion choppers and I finally broke down
DD> and bought a mandoline. Promptly tried to cut the tip off f a finger
DD> when slicing potatoes for a pot roast in the casserole crockpot. That
DD> was a true learning experience. Bv)=
Ouch! I have a mandoline but most often end up slicing with a knife.
