food porn

Since [livejournal.com profile] desperance is supplying food porn this evening by live-blogging the preparations for a dinner party involving many delicious dishes, I will merely note that I am having a simple chicken soup tonight. It was a roast chicken dinner last night, of course. The carcase has been in the stockpot for some hours, along with a pod or five of cardamom and an onion and carrot. Now the broth has been strained off, and the remains of last night's roasted vegetables diced and added. Plus a couple of onions diced and slowly sauteed in the chicken fat, and a couple of additional potatoes and carrots to top it off. Chop in the remaining chicken meat, add a splash of soy sauce and a sprinkling of salt, and it will go very nicely with a nice fresh loaf in ten minutes or so...

I lack a proper range of spices after the move. There should be coriander seed as well. Alas, it is a tiny kitchen with little storage and thus I have been reluctant to go out and replace the collection of herbs and spices that an unsupervised Other Half gave away to friends during the Great Clear-out.
