tomato soup and vegan grilled cheeze.

Some of my best friends, Sam and Erinmichelle were visiting from nyc. SO....we didn't so much have a gang meeting as we had an impromptu tomato soup and grilled cheeze party. but it was delicious and fun, nevertheless. Erinmichelle is going to start a chapter in the city. Cant wait for some postings from that side of the world!



here's a pic of the (sorta) creamy (sorta) chunky tomato soup i made, and one of the happy gangstas.

Uninspired...maybe. Going home hungry...never.

The weather in Austin has been amazing the last few days. Nic just got back from a brief stint living in Chicago, so Billie and i decided to have a meeting. Neither of us were very inspired to go on a shopping excursion or to cook...but we did it anyway. FOR THE LOVE OF SOUP, and the gang!!

This was a couple days ago, but again...it's been too nice to sit in front of the computer.

Here's Adam and Ryan having a few pre-meeting beers.

Billie made a really great Butternut Bisque and I (less motivated) ended up making a tomato-dill (and everything that was left in billie's veggie drawer and a few pantry additions) soup. Surprisingly, it was great. Hallman even called me a "Soup Goddess". I LOVE THAT!


anyway, looking forward to some chilled soups this summer, and some updates from other soup g's!

Chicago's coming home...

Nic Alarcon, who we are happy to say lives in Chicago for only a couple more days, sends this post today:

"So it snowed about a foot or more today. I had a real shitty day, so I decided to make some soup. This Red Pepper Lentil Soup was inspired by a non-vegan version that they make at Panera. It still sucks outside, but it's nice and warm in here now."



Thanks Nic!
Austin can't wait to see you.

HOMESTYLE...sucka'.

Yesterday I didn't feel like leaving the house. In fact, I barely felt like leaving my bed. SO...i made the most delicious vegan "chicken" noodle soup ever.
you have no idea! only wish i had made a vat of it...

fake chicken, wagonwheel noodles, broccoli, celery, carrots, a little serrano and veggie stock mixed with faux chicken stock...topped with a little nutritional yeast. what more do you need?

(Souper) Freaks and Geeks...

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.

Doing soup before soup was cool...

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.
Cold Weather remedy-Hot soup....

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.....
