THIS IS a receipe for a great SOUP!
Impressive, lusty red
homecooked, easy to make and youthening as beets make our blood thicker,
are great for anemia, prevent aging. Give a nice color to the face and
palms of the hand. First grow or buy a bunch of beets. This will make TWO
nights' worth of soup. Luckily beets keep so you can make one pot now,
another a week from now.Take your protein which can be a porkchop w. all
visible fat cut off or a hunk of pork shoulder, or beef, or chicken or
fish or if you insist on being vegan, leave that part out. Simmer
that chunk of protein with 1 large beet, cut in pieces, carrots,
chunks of potato, an onion, a clove or two or three of garlic, a milder
Anaheim or Puebla chile. Simmer with the right amt of your home made seasoning
salt. (You put everything in cupboard into the salt, thyme, sage, tumeric,
garlic powder and store in saltshakers or in a tea tin.) Simmer until all
are soft. Add fresh green spinach, cilantro and the corn from one ear,
cut off with a sharp knife. If vegan, add tofu chunks now. Simmer a minute
more. Add a little dash or two of sesame oil (the toasted sesame oil that
orientals use) and some soy sauce to bring it up to the level of richness
and saltiness that you enjoy. And if you love that really opulent touch
of SOUR CREAM on top, drop a big glob front and center!
