southwestern soup

Last night, we were invited to a party and our hostess asked us to bring a dish. Mr. P made his famous guacamole. It's swoon-worthy stuff. I reprised my roasted chick pea dish. People kept nibbling them and telling me they were great. There were about two spoonfuls left when I went to take the dish home. I was so proud.

Tonight, I made soup. I sauteed onions, stirred in some mushrooms and poodle (savoy) cabbage, then added broth that I made and froze last summer (it had tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, and likely some other random veggies). I also added some water, a can of black beans, and a small corner of that hot sauce I made and froze last week. Oh, and some frozen corn and some soy sauce. Then I let it cook and simmer for a while. It definitely had a kick, but it was just about perfectly seasoned. We served it with a little light sour cream on top. Just perfect for winter.
