It’s like a breath of fresh air for your taste buds.
Phyllis Diller: The Soup Maestro
Phyllis Diller, the queen of comedy, knew a thing or two about good food. She even made her famous Garbage Soup on the Mike Douglas show! That’s right, this soup has made its way into the limelight, becoming a truly legendary recipe. I stumbled upon a vintage magazine advert featuring Phyllis and just had to share it with you. It’s clear that this soup has stood the test of time.
The Garbage Soup Experience
Now, let me share with you my own version of this marvelous soup. Last Wednesday, I gathered two onions, two turnips, two tomatoes, a medley of french beans, some cauliflower, a couple of spring onions, a handful of spinach, a few butter beans, and a pinch of coriander, tarragon, and thyme. To make it extra special, I added a splash of red wine that had been waiting patiently in my cupboard. The result? A bowl of pure deliciousness. I couldn’t resist, and now I have plenty of freezer-friendly portions for my future work lunches. It’s a win-win situation!
Phyllis’ Recipe: A Soup Bone Delight
To recreate Phyllis Diller’s Garbage Soup, start by cozying up to your butcher (preferably one who resembles Cary Grant, but that may be wishful thinking) and ask for a soup bone. Trust me, this request will thrill them. Next, fill a large pot halfway with water and add salt, cracked pepper, salad lift, grated parmesan cheese, chili powder, and a pinch of poultry seasoning if desired. Drop in the bone and let the magic begin.
A Symphony of Leftovers
Now comes the fun part. Chop up fresh onions, parsley, carrots, celery, potato, and green pepper, and add them to the pot. Let the flavors simmer endlessly, allowing the aromas to fill your kitchen. To enhance the taste, throw in one large can of tomatoes and two cans of kidney beans. But here’s the real secret: from this point on, any leftover you have can find a new home in your soup. Chop them up finely and add them in—leftover meat, cooked vegetables, even salad leftovers with dressing. Waste not, want not!
Remember, anything that’s been boiled is sterile and flavor-packed, making your soup a delicious and germ-free delight. It’s like magic in a bowl!
