Mr. B's Silver Ladle

Song - Gonna Fly Now - Rocky Theme Song

Every year about at this time of winter our friends, Bob & Chris hold an Annual Soup Tasting Party.  About 12 couples each bring a pot of soup which is anonymously placed on a table with a tag which includes the name of the soup and a number.  Each person gets a bowl and a voting sheet where they can take notes and rate each soup as it's tasted.

Most years I make the soup but this year Mr. B wanted to be involved...and it came down to the last minute of deciding on a recipe, shopping and cooking....'cause that's how he hangs.

I'm thinking that you kinda know what I am going to tell you.....




Yes...Mr. B's Tomato Soup won!

And the photo above is of Mr. B with his award winning recipe and trophy - a silver ladle.


Here is the recipe - as best as his memory recollects......
The base recipe was from a Ree Drummond recipe and he added a pinch of this and a taste of that until it was just what he was looking for.




Next year Mr. B has decided to use his ladle for tasting wine just like a sommelier! 

It's great to have a chef in the house!!!



"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food."

  1. Love it! and just before opening your soup post I was trying to decide whether to make Hank's hamburger soup or garden lentil and cabbage soup for tonight. The lentils won out. How can you sample 12 soups?? And who won?

    1. Taya - It's just a "tasting" of each soup so a very little amount of each but it's kind of like fruit salad....it always turns out bigger than you think! And for who won....Mr. B - of course!
