T...So I have been on a soup kick the last 2 weeks. This is the fifth soup I have made and it may just me my family’s favorite. Chef John is right, is comes together very fast is very satisfying. I served it with a green salad and chicken breast. Toward the end of my soup I dumped the rest of my grilled chicken breast into my soup, and that just put it over the top. Then my husband and son did the same. My husband (who is not a soup person) says with the added chicken this soup would be a complete meal. He really loved it and claimed the leftovers to be his – not that there was much leftover. The ½ teaspoon of the chipotle pepper was just the right amount for me and my son. Neither of us likes food to be very spicy and this added just enough heat without being too spicy. Even my husband who does like spicy food was happy with this amount of chipotle pepper.

Here's how I tweaked it:<br /><br />- 3 cups chopped smoked chicken<br />- 1/2 tsp. each cumin and coriander<br />- Only 1 can of black beans in the pantry. Crap! But I also had a can of refried black beans, so I chucked that in there too.<br />- some extra water to thin out the refried beans<br /><br />Garnished with some fresh cilantro and lime for acidity. Turned out really well, nice easy weeknight meal. Would've loved to add some chipotles in adobo, but not everybody loves the spicy in my house.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12297446657314042486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1158251320260278542013-01-07T23:09:15.279-05:002013-01-07T23:09:15.279-05:00Chef, I have been using your site for almost a yea...Chef, I have been using your site for almost a year now and it just gets better and better.

I understand that to tenderize meat it needs to cook for longer, but with non-meat soups, does it really make a difference? <br /><br />In advance, thank you for taking the time to answer this question...I love the internet sometimes.Paul Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424344419210460615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-558778957210011772010-06-14T22:51:18.086-04:002010-06-14T22:51:18.086-04:00We've been having a week or so of unusually ch...We've been having a week or so of unusually chilly weather here in Minneapolis again. Or, as I like to call it - free air-conditioning! It's was the perfect opportunity to try a new soup recipe before it gets too hot to want to.<br /><br />How can you NOT make a recipe called Bumblebee Soup? I loved it. The gang at worked loved it. I didn't have any frozen or canned corn but I did have fresh corn on the cob so I used that. I also used six strips of thick-cut hardwood smoked bacon because, well, bacon makes everything better! More bacon = more better!<br /><br />Seriously, this was delicious and a definite keeper. Will it be in the new cookbook? And, when does it finally come out? Of course I'm impatient... I'm hungry!Jack Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-26133705768388148662010-05-28T23:39:07.213-04:002010-05-28T23:39:07.213-04:00Chef John,

When I came back to my kitchen to deal with the leftovers, I found that the soup had thickened up significantly in the meantime, almost to the point of becoming the thickness of a dip.<br />So I decided to take the thick leftovers, stuff them in a pepper with some boneless pork ribs, and then -- kinda, sorta -- follow the technique for your stuffed peppers. <br />These peppers were definitely delicious, and a nice change of pace from using ground beef. I would say that the ground beef peppers were a little bit heartier, but that's a small complaint.<br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618534776690245562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-7800366753932354262010-05-14T12:07:32.491-04:002010-05-14T12:07:32.491-04:00This soup was great!

It was delicious. I ate two big bowls.<br /><br />Yesterday, the very next morning in fact, I was stung by a bee without provocation. He got me on the top of my foot whilst I sat in the park.<br /><br />Could this possibly have been some sort of retribution?<br /><br />My ankle is swollen, and the pain in my ankle joint is only now subsiding.<br /><br />Why, Chef John? Why?<br /><br />By the way, I will continue to make and enjoy your soup.<br /><br />-KyleKyle Youngnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-87874992247366290092009-08-30T21:18:04.521-04:002009-08-30T21:18:04.521-04:00this looks greaaaaaaat!this looks greaaaaaaat!christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-30805053265881830812009-02-11T12:53:00.000-05:002009-02-11T12:53:00.000-05:00does too!does too!Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-8065768102671148972009-02-11T12:49:00.000-05:002009-02-11T12:49:00.000-05:00The video no longer exists.The video no longer exists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-54022674715571413302009-01-12T20:00:00.001-05:002009-01-12T20:00:00.001-05:00Thank you!!!
