Peanut Butter Soup

Date: Mon, 13 Sep 93 15:47:24 -0700
 
 
This is an adaptation from several different recipes that I have
tried over the years.  You will notice that there are a few
options to select from.  The options are dependant on whether you
like a red tomato base or whiter flour base to your soup.  Kind
of like choosing your clam chowder.
 
 
1/2       cup diced onions
1/2       cup diced celery
1/2       cup diced gren pepper (less if you are not a Vitamin A  
          or pepper lover).
2         cloves minced garlic
3T        butter
3 to 4T   all purpose flour (You can judge the consistency you    
          like)  I like mine rather thick.
2 1/2     cup chicken broth  (Optionally use water)
5         cups milk
1         cup half and half cream.  (You can vary this mixture    
          depending on how rich you like your soup.  Sometimes I  
          make it even more decadent than 1 cup of cream.
1         cup creamy peanut butter.  I really prefer the old      
          fashioned natural best.
2T        Tomato Paste.  You decide whether you like this         
          ingredient.  I do not, but then I like New England clam 
          chowder.
3T        Soy sauce
          Chopped peanuts for garnish
 
Saute onions, celery, green pepper and garlic in the butter until
onions are translucent.  Add flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes,
until you have a light roux.  Stir in water, Add milk slowly. 
Bring to a boil.  Add peanut butter,tomato paste (optional), and
soy sauce.  Reduce heat and simmer approximately 15 minutes.
 
Serve hot with chopped peanuts for garnish.
 
Enjoy!

Most soups and stews can be prepared in a crock pot.  Just decrease
the liquid ingredients (not as much liquid will evaporate from a
closed slow-cooker) and let it rip for 6 or more hours.
 
HEARTY BEAN AND VEGETABLE STEW
==============================
(Servings:  12)
 
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb     beans, assorted, dry
2 cup    vegetable juice
1/2 cup  dry white wine
1/3 cup  soy sauce
1/3 cup  apple or pineapple juice
vegetable stock or water
1/2 cup  celery -- diced
1/2 cup  parsnips -- diced
1/2 cup  carrots -- diced
1/2 cup  mushrooms -- diced
1        onion -- diced
 
 
 
1 tsp    basil, dried
1 tsp    parsley, dried
1        bay leaf
3 clove  garlic -- minced
1 tsp    black pepper -- ground
1 cup    rice or pasta -- cooked
 
Instructions:
-------------
Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water. 
 
Drain beans and place in crockpot.  Add vegetable juice, wine, soy
sauce, and apple or pineapple juice.  Cover with vegetable stock or
water; the amount added depends on whether you prefer a soup (more
liquid) or a stew (less).  The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and
the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt. 
 
Cook at high for 2 hours.  Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook
for 5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender.  When
tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour. 
 
Notes: 
------
For beans use 3 or 4 kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, baby
lima, lentil, and green and/or yellow split peas.

PASTA E FAGIOLI SOUP
====================
(8 servings)
 
Ingredients:
------------
1/2 lb   dried cannellini or navy beans
1/2 lb   dried kidney beans
1/4 cup  olive oil
1/4 lb   salt pork, diced fine
1        large onion, chopped fine
5        garlic cloves, peeled and mashed
4        celery stalks, including leaves, sliced thin
3 tsp    salt
2 tsp    crushed red pepper
1 tsp    freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp    oregano
1 tsp    basil 
1        16 oz. can Italian tomatoes, drained, tomatoes chopped coarsely
1/4 cup  snipped fresh parsley, preferably Italian
1/2 cup  julliened carrot
1/2 lb   ground sirlioin
1        egg
4 tblsp  seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 lb   ditalini (tiny, tube shaped pasta)
Freshly grated Romano, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
 
Instructions:
-------------
Rinse and pick over the dried beans.  Soak overnight in cold water. 
Drain, then place in stockpot with 10 cups cold water.  Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat to simmer while preparing vegetables.  Heat the olive
oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the salt pork and
cook, stirring frequently, until the fat melts and the meat begins to
brown, about 15 minutes.  Do not allow to burn. 
 
Add the onion and garlic and saute gently until the onion is golden. 
Add this mixture to the beans, along with the celery, salt, red and
black pepper, oregano and basil.  Cover and simmer until beans are
tender, about 2 1/2 hours, checking frequently to make sure the liquid
has no evaporated too much.  There has to be enough liquid to cook the
meatballs and pasta in the final cooking stage.  Add more water if
necessary. 
 
About 30 minutes before the soup is finished simmering, add the
tomatoes and their juices and the parsley.  Combine the ground meat
with the egg and bread crumbs and roll into miniature balls.  Add to
the simmering soup.  Add the carrot.
 
About 20 minutes later, add the ditalini and cook until tender.
Serve with the grated cheese.  

Vegetable Soup

From: lussierj@jsp.umontreal.ca (Lussier Jean-Francois)

Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1993 05:43:40 GMT

Nothing's easier then making vegetable soup: you don't even need a recipe. 
Just a few hints and tricks...
 
First of all, you need good base.  A chicken broth is a good start. To make 
one, buy yourself 30 cents worth of chicken.  Let it boil with 2 liters of 
water and a little salt for two or three hours.  You actually need around 2 
or 3 cups of the stuff, depending on how much soup you want to make, and 
strong your broth is.
 
Then buy yourself fresh vegetables: Try patatoes, tomatoes, onions, zucchinis, 
mushrooms, spinachs... etc. 5 to 8 different vegetables, not more than that.
 
Add salt, pepper, garlic and one spice of your choice, like teragoen, origano 
or rosemary. Once again, don't over do it! You want to be able to taste every 
ingredient in your soup. 
 
The broth is very important. It's what brings all the taste together.
 
Then put the broth and the vegetables in one large cauldron. Add water until 
it reaches 2/3 of the cauldron. Add the salt. Set your stove to medium heat 
and let leave it alone for a good 3 to 4 hours. You can add water if you find 
there's not enough of it. Add your main spice half an hour before the soup is 
done.
 
There it is! If you wish to add rice or pastas, i suggest you add them already 
cooked, within the last hour of cooking.
 
CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SOUP
=========================
 
Ingredients:
------------
2 cloves    garlic, crushed
4 sprigs    coriander
1.5 tsp     peppercorns, crushed
1 tblsp     vegetable oil
4.5 cups    chicken stock
5           Chinese dried black mushrooms, soaked for about 1 hr. and
            coarsely chopped
1.25 tblsp  fish sauce
4 oz        chicken (or a bit more), cut into strips
2           green onions, thinly sliced
Coriander to garnish
 
Instructions:
-------------
Using a pestle and mortar or sm.  food processor, pound or mix garlic,
coriander sprigs and peppercorns to a paste.  In wok, heat vegetable
oil, add paste and cook for 1 min., stirring.  Stir in stock, mushrooms
& fish sauce.  Simmer 10 mins. 
 
Add chicken, reduce heat & cook gently for 5 mins.  Scatter green onions
and coriander over surface to garnish.

CHICKEN SOUP
============
 
Chicken soup as made my my mother and millions of other nice Jewish
ladies:
 
Get an old chicken - they have *much* more flavor.  An old 'stewing' hen
is good.  The ones at the kosher butcher cost more but seem to be worth
it.  The young supermarket hens have no flavor. 
 
Put chicken in pot.  Cover with water.  Add an onion, a couple of
carrots, a couple of parsnips, a handful of dill weed (fresh), and a
little salt.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for an hour
or more. 
 
Carefully remove chicken and vegetables.  Skim fat from soup.  An easy
way to do this is to toss in a handful of ice cubes and skim them out
with the fat that congeals around them. 
 
Serve the soup with kreplach, matzoh balls, egg noodles or rice. 
 
If you've removed the chicken carefully and intact, place it on a baking
dish or pan and roast in the oven at 350 or so until the skin is crispy
and golden.  Voila!  Gedempte Chicken!  My maternal grandmother used to
make this, or so I am told.

CHICKEN STOCK
=============
 
Get some chicken bones from your local butcher or save and freeze them
when you de-bone chicken breasts. 
 
Prepare a mirepoix (chopped carrots, onions or shallots, celery or
celery root (preferable, also known as celeriac) and garlic) exact
quantities depend on the volume of stock you are making and your own
personal taste. 
 
Sweat the mirepoix on medium head with a little oil (let the veggies
cook alone for a while).
 
If using fresh bones , add them to the mirepoix and heat them up.  Do
not do this for frozen bones and meat as too much blood will be released
later and cloud the stock. 
 
When the bones are hot, add very cold water (as much as you want,
depends on how much bones you have). 
 
Add a few peppercorns and whatever other herb and spice you like
(oregano is nice).
 
Simmer for 3-4 hours removing scum frequently. 
 
Strain stock through a couple layers of cheesecloth

GINGERY CHICKEN AND SPINACH SOUP
================================
 
Ingredients:
------------
1           onion
1 piece     (1/2 inch long) fresh ginger or 3/4 tsp ground
1 tblsp     Oriental Sesame oil [she says you can substitute vegetable 
            oil, but I think the sesame is crucial]
6 cups      chicken broth or water
1 pkg       (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach
1 lb        boneless, skinless chicken or turkey breast
1/2 bunch   scallions or 1 small bunch coriander
2 cups      vermicelli, fine egg noodles, orzo or pastina [my SO uses (Mrs. 
            Weiss's brand) Kluski noodles--I reccomend using hearty noodles 
            like these instead of the delicate pastas recommended!!]
3-4 tblsp   lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
toasted sesame seeds
[my SO adds garlic too]
 
Instructions:
-------------
1.  Finely chop the ONION.  Peel and mince GINGER.
 
2.  Heat SESAME OIL in soup pot over medium heat.  Add ONION and GINGER
[and GARLIC], increase heat to high and saute for a few seconds to
relase aroma.  Add the BROTH and FROZEN SPINACH.  Cover the pot and
bring the liquid to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer until spinach is
thawed (~10 minutes). 
 
3.  Meanwhile, cut the CHICKEN into thin shreds or 3/4 inch chunks. 
Slice the SCALLIONS, including about four inches of the green tops (or
rinse, stem and mince CORIANDER). 
  
4.  When the spinach has thawed, stir the soup, then add the CHICKEN and
NOODLES.  Cover and simmer until the noodles and chicken are cooked (~5
minutes).  Add the SCALLIONS (or CORIANDER) and the LEMON JUICE.  Season
to taste with SALT and PEPPER. 
 
5.  Serve immediately, passing the TOASTED SESAME SEEDS for sprinkling
over each portion.

THAI CHICKEN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP
==================================
(Tom ka gai or kai tom ga)
 
Ingredients:
------------
1           12-ounce can coconut milk, such as Chaokoh
1/4 lb      chicken breast, cut into small chunks
juice and grated peel of 1 lime
1 4" piece  of lemon grass, cut into very thin (1/16") slices on the
            diagonal
3-4 slices  of galanga (fresh ginger may be substituted)
Hot chile peppers to taste -- preferably Thai birds, with serranos an
            acceptable substitute (though I've used sweet Fresno chiles
            in a variation I'll describe below), cut into thin circles
Cilantro    for garnish
 
Instructions:
-------------
Pour the lime juice on the chicken and let stand while you prepare the
rest of the soup.  In a medium saucepan, place the coconut milk, lemon
grass, grated lime peel, galanga or ginger, and (optionally) chiles.
(The optional part is that if you don't want the whole dish to taste
spicy, add the chiles later; the earlier you add them, the hotter the
resulting dish.) Bring the coconut milk to a simmer.
 
When the soup is simmering, add the lime-soaked chicken pieces and stir
to distribute them.  Reduce the heat so the soup stays just below a boil
and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or till the chicken pieces are finished
cooking.  Remove from heat and serve immediately with fresh cilantro
leaves for garnish.
 
Now, the *best* way I ever had this soup was with pieces of fresh
grouper instead of chicken.  I also added slices of kumquats instead of
the ginger, and used the sweet Fresno chiles instead of Thai birds.  We
also served it over Vietnamese rice noodles.  Was it southeast Asian or
Caribbean?  Who cares, it was wonderful.  If you can't find grouper,
it'd be good with any tender, delicate white fish -- sole, maybe, or a
very fresh sea bass, or maybe little chunks of monkfish.  I believe I've
had this with shrimp as well.  (Grouper, BTW, is a type of fish common
in the Caribbean and, if I recall, in other warm-water parts of the
world; the flesh is very white, very tender, and quite delicately
flavored.  I've seen it in one Asian grocery store in the Bay Area, as
well as in the Bahamas, so I'd guess that Gulf Coast netters should be
able to find it readily.)
 
 
Notes:
------
1.  Galanga is similar to ginger, an edible rhizome available in most
Asian groceries.  If not available fresh, you can usually find it
frozen.  (Well, this is the SF Bay Area; if you can't find it at Tin Tin
or the New Castro Market, you have to have friends smuggle it in from
Bangkok for you...  Other parts of the country may vary.)
 
2.  Chile peppers add a lot to the dish; I've had it so hot that I could
barely eat it, and I've had it completely smooth, sweet and mild.  I
like it in the middle.
 
3.  Lemon grass adds a lot to the flavor and aroma, but as near as I can
tell it isn't edible unless you puree it.  (If there's sufficient
demand, I'll print my recipe for Vietnamese turkey fajitas.) I just eat
around the slices of lemon grass and ginger.

THAI CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP
=========================
 
Ingredients:
------------
3-4 cans  coconut milk (make sure it's the unsweetened kind)
3 tblsp   chopped scallions
1-3 tsp   lemon grass
cilantro  (preferably fresh. I sometimes leave this out.  Niels says
          that's defeating the whole point, but I think it still comes
          out great)
tofu      cubed into smallish pieces.
chicken   also cubed to bite size.
mushrooms
1 carrot  grated
juice from loads of limes (8? i can never put in enough)
serrano chillies (or any other hot chili pepper, again preferably
fresh, but powdered will do)
1 tsp     galanga powder
 
Instructions:
-------------
Heat the coconut milk in a pot.  Add everything else.  As the lemon
grass is inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup
so you can retrieve it later.  Cook until the chicken is done and the
soup is hot (30 minutes?).  Taste to see if it needs more limes (it
always does) or more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up
to the desired level of spicyness).

VIETNAMESE PHO (CHICKEN/NOODLE SOUP)
====================================
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Chicken Broth: 
--------------
Slowly cook whole chicken or 2 with some ginger, scallions onion carrot
few cilantro leaves covered with h20 until its reduced by half.  Ours
takes 2 days (48 hours no shit).  Save worthwile meat from chicken,
strain broth pressing out all cooked down ing.  through strainer or
sieve,chill in fridge to facillitate fat removal the next day. 
 
Buy rice sticks from Asian grocery (1 lb is good for 4 people) and Nuoc
maum (sp) sauce.  I perfer lighter sauce to the darker pastis sauces one
can get - rule of thumb for this is to buy the most expensive bottle
(they are around 3.50 or so.)
 
 
Further Ingredients:
--------------------
1 ginger root
hot chiles
Fresh Basil
1 white onion
Fresh cilantro
Bean Sprouts (mung)
Cucumber
lemons or limes
vineger
Garlic
 
Cook noodles until done (2-2.5 min) in broth.  In big bowls serve
noodles & broth.  Garnish with sprouts, basil, cucumber(julienne),
lemmon/lime, cilantro shredded cooked chicken fom broth vinegar soaked
raw onion rounds. 
 
Each diner adds as much or as little of following sauce (start out
slowly and add as you see fit):
 
1/4 cup nuoc maum sauce
1 cup h20
2 tbs lemon/lime juice or vinegar
1/4 tsp sugar ( i usually don't add)
2 tbs minced ginger
1-10 ground hot chiles
2-4 cloves minced garlic (i use 4)
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro leaf>
 
This is a great meal!  Some use thinly sliced beef added right after hot
broth & noodles, soup cools beef cooks - a nice change from chicken
 
Notes:
------
Get best possible chicken (free range is worth extra $ for this meal)
Can eat for a day or two. Stuff keeps in fridge.

The Story of Blogger


Blogger was started by a tiny company in San Francisco called Pyra Labs in August of 1999. This was in the midst of the dot-com boom. But we weren't exactly a VC-funded, party-throwing, foosball-in-the-lobby-playing, free-beer-drinking outfit. (Unless it was other people's free beer.)

We were three friends, funded by doing annoying contract web projects for big companies, trying to make our own grand entrance onto the Internet landscape. What we were originally trying to do doesn't matter so much now. But while doing it, we created Blogger, more or less on a whim, and thought — Hmmm... that's kinda interesting.

Blogger took off, in a small way, and eventually a bigger way, over a couple years. We raised a little money (but stayed small). And then the bust happened, and we ran out of money, and our fun little journey got less fun. We narrowly survived, not all in one piece, but kept the service going the whole time (most days) and started building it back up.

Things were going well again in 2002. We had hundreds of thousands of users, though still just a few people. And then something no one expected happened: Google wanted to buy us. Yes, that Google

We liked Google a lot. And they liked blogs. So we were amenable to the idea. And it worked out nicely.

Now we're a small (but slightly bigger than before) team in Google focusing on helping people have their own voice on the web and organizing the world's information from the personal perspective. Which has pretty much always been our whole deal.

The Story of Blogger

Blogger was started by a tiny company in San Francisco called Pyra Labs in August of 1999. This was in the midst of the dot-com boom. But we weren't exactly a VC-funded, party-throwing, foosball-in-the-lobby-playing, free-beer-drinking outfit. (Unless it was other people's free beer.)

We were three friends, funded by doing annoying contract web projects for big companies, trying to make our own grand entrance onto the Internet landscape. What we were originally trying to do doesn't matter so much now. But while doing it, we created Blogger, more or less on a whim, and thought — Hmmm... that's kinda interesting.

Blogger took off, in a small way, and eventually a bigger way, over a couple years. We raised a little money (but stayed small). And then the bust happened, and we ran out of money, and our fun little journey got less fun. We narrowly survived, not all in one piece, but kept the service going the whole time (most days) and started building it back up.
