Andalusian Christmas Soup

I received this in Seattle in the early 80's. I was recently telling someone about this recipe and then came across my original recipe while in WV. I hope you like it as much as I do! This works well for vegetarians as well as meat eaters.

Andalusian Christmas Soup

The south of Spain is the home of this inexpensive make-ahead soup. When served with condiments that include meats like miniature meatballs and sausage,fresh vegetables, and substantial garnishes, it makes a full meal especially well suited to informal entertaining.

The soup base is a blend of tomato puree, chicken broth, herbs and lots of sweet, slow cooked onions. Serve it hot in a soup tureen or casserole, surrounded by choice of condiments.

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 Tablespoon olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced onions
3 Tablespoons flour
1 can (1 lb.) tomato puree
2 quarts chicken broth
1 clove garlic, minced or mashed
1 Tablespoon each red wine vinegar, Worchestershire
1/4 teaspoon each pepper, oregano, tarragon leaves and liquid hot pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed crushed

Condiments (suggestions below)

In a 4 or 5 quart pan, over medium low heat, melt the butter; add the olive oil and onions. Slowly cook the onions stirring occasionally, until they are limp and slightly golden; it takes about 45 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over onions and blend; gradually stir in tomato puree and broth. Add the garlic and vinegar, Worcestershire,pepper,oregano,tarragon,hot pepper seasoninng,and cumin; stir until well blended. Bring to boiling over high heat, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Condiments:

Meats (choose 2 or 3)

About 30 meatballs: combine 1/2 lb. lean ground beef; 1 Tablespoon chopped green onions; 1/4 teaspoon salt; and 1/8 teaspoon each ground cumin, crushed oregano leaves, and pepper; form into bite sized balls and bake in a shallow pan in a 500 degree oven for 5 minutes.

About 10 ounces linguica, chorizo, or kielbasa sausages: slice about 1/4 inch thick and in a dry frying pan over medium heat, turn until browned.

1/4 to 1/3 pound tiny cooked shelled shrimp

About 3/4 pound cooked ham: cut into 1/2 inch cubes and saute in 2 Tablespoons butter until slightly browned.

Fresh Vegetables: (choose 3 or 4)
About 1 cup cubed red or green bell pepper or a mixture of the two
About 1 cup diced peeled cucumber
About 1 cup diced fresh tomato
About 1 cup diced sweet onion
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms: sliced and sauted in 2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 pound fresh carrots: slice and cook in a small amount of water until fork tender, drain.

Garnishes (choose 3 or 4)
3 or 4 hard cooked boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/4 pound grated cheddar cheese, shredded
2 or 3 small limes cut into wedges
1 small can garbanzos drained
1 small can sliced ripe olives, drained
About 1/2 cup chopped parsley

If you are at all like us, it can be nerve-wracking when you need accurate details concerning a specific subject, and it seems nearly out of the question to find.

Most do not consider the time to look deeper in the search results, and they often lose out on what they need.

Avoid feeling like it is anything that only happens to you because it is not. The subsequent information concerning [url=http://www.hotdeal.vn/ho-chi-minh/]Thoi trang nam[/url] is a result of all those frustrations people have.

You can take this information and expand on it in your own researching efforts.

The relative complexities of women's and men's style

Both men and women can feel the pressures of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in time, yet men's fashion frequently seems a lot simpler. Of program, for both sexes, clothes and style choices can be equally as elaborate, and there are lots of'fashionable'items which can quickly become fashion faux pas - who will say they frequently see people running around in 70s flames? On the other hand, men's fashion features a few choice goods that can exist eternally - which man is planning to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Select classic cuts, colors and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why traditional men's style is amazing

The traditional man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many kinds for various functions, but they are all popular in their pursuit of a clever, sharp look for the person. The neat thing about classic fashion for men is that it is simply stylish efficiently cool. A well-groomed man will almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such clothing. A suit will undoubtedly be worn to work in several careers because of the professional search it offers to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and trust. Equally a match will undoubtedly be used to many social occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This amazing flexibility that allows suits to be worn in nearly all situations is what gives it its classic edge and a lasting devote men's fashion.

Contemporary movements in traditional men's fashion

Whilst common men's styles will never be replaced, it's interesting to observe that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced particular traditional garments back to fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, specifically, has had back a wide-variety of basic styles into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to make reference to men who clothe themselves in a classic yet luxurious way, acting in a polished method and placing importance on appearance. This tendency for almost'over-the-top'common fashion for men is apparent from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in particularly Victorian-style attire and decide to try the roads on vintage cycles - with lots of the men wearing remarkable mustaches! This really is just one single of several samples of research exhibiting the resurrection of such types. There are also numerous blogs on line which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst specific issues with basic men's style can be brought back as new movements, the essential clothes which they are derived from will never fall out of fashion.
