I admit it. I love soup. I've always loved soup.
When I was little, it was a treat to go to Harold's Delicatessen in Knoxville for a bialy and a bowl of vegetable soup. They even found some for me when it wasn't on the menu.
Matzah ball soup was has been on the menu at every family holiday meal. Campbell's was a staple growing up, supplanted over time by Progresso...until the day I found a bug in a can and couldn't open one again.
As I gained culinary skills, I started making my own soups. They weren't hard. Chop some things, put them in a pot with water, throw in some herbs and spices. Doneso.
Tomato basil. Chili with cashews. Chickpea and pumpkin. Coconut curried red lentil.
Most of my soups are spicy and hearty. If there's a noodle included, it's even better. But lately, I've found the one thing that really makes it sing. Potato chips.
I know, I know. Potato chips are not healthy. They're not conducive to a well-rounded diet. They're not good for you. I get it. That said, they taste exceptional floating atop my jalapeno butternut squash soup. That is no joke.
Potato chips are the new crackers. You heard it here first, folks!
