I didn't have any on hand so I used about a teaspoon of liquid smoke. Then I pureed it in a blender. Looks almost like a pea soup. Fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-6130971076341235062010-08-04T18:11:01.572-05:002010-08-04T18:11:01.572-05:00I made this soup just now for dinner.

The first bowl I garnished with fresh Italian parsley, crushed croutons, and grated Parmesano reggiano. The second bowl (for the sake of research, of course) I used fresh cut chives and sharp white cheddar. It was fabulous.

I added a few cups of chopped cabbage to the mix, after the garlic, before the rest. <br /><br />Been enjoying your blog for a while, but this was the first foray into actually trying one of your recipes. Looking forward to trying many more! And yes, I spent a moment grateful for this fabulous soup that is keeping me warm and satisfied while I'm home with a cold. <br /><br />I too have done the garbage picking and "you can't burn that!", trying to keep the plastic etc out of the burn pile. So thanks for promoting locally grown/organic food and environmentally friendly practices!

I am definitely going to try this - MIL loves soup and DH loves broccoli (have you tried it with cauliflower 'cause he loves cauliflower even more). <BR/>About the burning - I desperately MISS being able to burn - vile nasty heavy polluting people (sorry - might have been uncalled for venom) have loaded the air in DFW so much that now even us country dwellers are no longer allowed to burn anything but grasses, twigs and tree limbs - no trash at all. Right now - we can't burn anything at all due to fire dangers (I cannot get my head around this completely - the ground is so soaked I can't till my garden - something to do with fuel from last years grasses). I understand Joe's desire to burn it all - DH loves to throw a bit of accelerant on a fire himself. But those days are gone - <BR/>Thanks for the heads up about your camera batteries - I'm having fits keeping my camera going lately - really sucks the juice out of batteries quickly.<BR/>Love this post - as usual - how is Cary?
