It's Sunday afternoon and there are are few things that I have to do ...

[hoveringsombrero]

At grocery this weekend I thought that I'd make myself a big batch of cabbage soup for the week, so I looked at a few recipes on my fon while there, and got stuff.

Since my appetite doesn't seem to be returning after sick I figured I needed to make something that was fairly healthy and easy to fetch from kitchen. Soups from a can are terribly expensive for the amount you get and like 5000% sodium, I just can't stomach 'em any more.

This is the recipe I'll be using as a guide, and I only just noticed, when I started this entry, that in the description it says "This wonderful soup is perfect for Sunday afternoons!"

So I wasn't sure if I was going to do it now or tomorrow but I guess it's telling me that I have to do it now.

The modifications that I'm currently intending on making to this recipe are as follows:
Doubling the recipe (as I'm going to freeze some)
Got Mexican-style instead of Italian-style of stewed maters.
Will be using Bill's Best Chick'nish Seasoning instead of chicken bouillon in order to make it a vegetarian soup.
Got a red onion instead of a white, cause I like 'em.

The addons I'm intending so far are as follows:
A whole bunch of cilantro, chopped fine. Will decide if I'm adding the entire bunch or not as I go.
Some mushrooms. I wanted to get portabello but was too pricy. So just regular, chopped small.
And any addn'l spices that seem appropriate as I go.

I've been using the hell outta my crock pot.
the thing i hate most about soup recipes is that many of them that i find on the web are like... add a can of soup.
why the fuck, if you're bothering to cook in the first place, would you add a can of soup to some soup?
