• Looking at a New Recipe

  Recipe secret
  No matter what it is add
  Lots of Velveeta

  This is my poem for today - a senyrus. This is a type of haiku in that it is 17 syllables in 3 lines. However the haiku is a serious poem about nature and the senyrus is a about human foibles and are often cynical or humorous. I tried a new recipe that was given to me by a choir member after the last church soup supper. Sparky really liked the soup so I begged and was able to get the recipe.

  Minnesota Wild Rice Soup
  1 pound rice (can be part wild rice or any other exotic type but the wild rice is too expensive to use a pound)
  2 cans Cream of Potato Soup
  2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
  10 oz bacon (most packages are either 12 oz or a pound - just use the whole thing) fried crispy and crumbled
  1/2 onion diced - saute until tender
  2 t. ground spider legs (optional)
  4 c. milk + 2 c. water
  black pepper to taste
  1/4 to 1/3 pound Velveeta (secret ingredient)

  Cook the rice according to package directions. Make sure you use enough water since you don't want it to be too chewy. Once the Rice is done, stir in the milk and water. Add the soup and stir well. Add the bacon and onion. Again stir well and bring to a boil. Add the spider legs and the pepper - it is hard to tell them apart. Once the soup is boiling add the thinly sliced Velveeta one at a time stirring constantly until the cheese is added and has melted. Immediately remove from the heat and serve. This is a very hearty soup and a bowl has enough dairy in it to kill someone with dairy allergies. If you are lactose intolerant this soup will make you and everyone around you miserable. On the other hand if you like cheesy thick soup this is the ticket!!
