I have been having a
food craving. It centers on soup. Not just any soup but Stuffed Pepper Soup.
Earlier in the day, my daughter who is a chef and owns her own Deli, displayed a
picture on Facebook of a bowl of Stuffed Pepper Soup with the advice to stop in
for lunch and have a bowl at the Deli. That soup looked utterly delicious.
Later that day, I was
eating lunch out at a diner with a friend. While looking over the menu, I
stopped when I saw Stuffed Pepper Soup. I ordered a cup to go along with my
sandwich.
When my order arrived,
I couldn’t wait to sink my spoon into the soup and taste it. But, unfortunately
whatever they used to make the soup – it didn’t look very appealing at all. I
saw something red, and something green, but the liquid looked grayish in color.
My friend and I realized that the cook must have used finely ground turkey. It
looked unappealing and I didn’t even want to taste it, so I left it feeling a
bit disappointed.
I went home with
Stuffed Pepper Soup on my brain, and started to try to find a recipe for it but
came up short. That night, my daughter, the chef, contacted me and asked me if
I could come into her kitchen and help out. My job was to make, of all things,
Stuffed Pepper Soup for her Deli! Of course I would have her recipe. For a
while, I wondered if my house was bugged or was there a hidden camera embedded
in my brain. I shrugged that off and thought…Wow, now I can make my soup and
eat it too!
