That chowdah recipe looks delicious, Anna. Just the thing for a cold winter's day. Wish I could run right over to 'borrow a cup'. I could use the variety today.
I am trying to eat up a sort of chicken soup concoction I made 3 days ago in the IP ... which now looks more like a stew - and getting more than a bit bored with it. The only good thing about this 'soup' of mine is that it doesn't contain a bit of salt (other than what might have been in the meat or otherwise naturally occurring in the vegetables I guess) but I can't tell at all. It started out as a sort of thai dish - but the store was out of ground pork so I tried to use ground (dark meat) turkey - and the taste was awful. So I loaded part of that back in the IP and tried to drown it in chicken broth (along with adding a bit of chicken breast meat) and kept adding more and more ingredients (baby bok choy, carrots, garlic, red and thai peppers, ginger, stalks of lemongrass, black vinegar, green onions, fish sauce, mushrooms, sriracha, even a bit of turmeric - for the health giving qualities - and black pepper - because of the turmeric mostly) and a bit of rice. Hit the soup button and voila, soup I found palatable - and it still is, 3 days later - but it is time for a change, even though I do feel virtuous.
