Thick and savory, wonderful for chilly days. I can eat this soup for weeks. The quintessential squash soup. Serve with a side of crusty bread and a dollop of sour cream on top for extra tastiness.
This soup costs about $3 a pot to make. It serves about six people. It contains a complete protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamin C. It only gets one pot dirty. It only takes about an hour. And it tastes great, especially on rainy winter days.
My friend Joe re-introduced me to this dish by making a “peanut butter soup” for us one night at his place. When I tasted it, I knew right away I’d had it before…it’s the same stuff my Senegalese dorm-mate Badou Seck used to make and call “mafé”. It’s easy, it’s cheap, and it tastes fabulous.
This is a tasty and seemingly healthy dish which actually contains a great deal of butter. Mmmmm, butter. It relies for its taste on a specific brand of hot sauce, which can be found in larger gourmet grocery stores. Even though it is easy to make, it’s nice enough to serve to guests - my kind of dish! Enjoy….
Yeah, I know what you’re saying…a recipe for a baked potato? This recipe isn’t so much as a set of cooking instructions as it is a form of baked potato advocacy. People mess up baked potatoes all the time—I know, I was one of them. DO NOT microwave your baked potato. You are, in effect, steaming it. A real baked potato has to be done in a fire or in an oven, and it has to have crispy skin and creamy insides (you’ll never achieve either of these in a microwave). There are numerous variations on the baked potato recipe; I’m hoping some of you offer your renditions in the comments.
