(Souper) Freaks and Geeks...

Sam Weir special.

Billie has been trying to perfect a version of mulligatawny, a Indian curry soup. Last week she made a pot so delicious that soup gangster Brent Nutting, of Austin, cried, "This soup was so good, it made my knees buckle!!" Not only was the soup amazing, but it was such a special occasion that Billie busted out her Sam Weir (hailing from the old school Freaks and Geeks t.v. show) special edition ladle.

The Austin Soup Gang welcomes the new Elmira chapter, and will look forward to seeing more posts in the future.

Soup with Kermit...


No Other Gangsters around to cook soup, so I called up some freinds from growing up to help...
the soup was dialed, along with some roasted Garlic Batard...
Fried potatoes, with garlic, tofu and jalepenos, dumped in some veggie broth with baby carrots, green onions, sweet corn, black beans, fresh spices and baby spinach.
There were some freinds around to eat it luckily, and another dinner was enjoyed.

New Gangsters and A new Chapter!






jim Young and Jamie Czech have opened up a new Soup Gang chapter in ELmira Ny. The names might sound familiar to anyone has seen older FBM Vids, as they both skated in them. Jim Is now in the special forces, and cuts goats heads off and mails them to people, and Jamie is a dad. THe night was set off by Gilly making the trip up from Pa, and antagonizing a baby.
THe soup had its own gang too, a lil Miso soup buddy, and a fresh Veggie Pizza. The Green Vegetable soup had all kinds of shit in it, including pesto, and the like. Super Dialed. Zues was stoked, good times.....


Natty Chili...

I am SO not a football person. But I DO love any excuse to make food and eat it and start drinking (ahem, bloody marys) early in the day.

SO...for superbowl sunday, i made an amazing "Natty Vegan Chili" and took it to the Side Bar (where i work).
Here's the recipe...then I'll tell you the secret ingredient.

i used this recipe...

I subbed half of the chili powder for chipotle powder, added an extra small can of tomatoes AND added one Natural Light Beer. NO, i'm not joking. It was all that was around. But I swear it made the chili delicious. What up, Natty Light???

vegan super bowl chili

I also made a really great vegan jalapeno cornbread. Everyone at the bar was stoked on it, even the meatiest of meat eaters. My friend even put some on his hamburger, apparently.

foot ball and souping? who knew?
