Range report

I made Bitter’s Potato, Cheddar and Chive soup tonight.  It turned out well.  I made a few minor variations:

  • The recepie doesn’t specify what kind of potatos to use.  I think this is a major problem.  Different kinds of potatos have different starch to sugar ratios.  The choice of potato will change the ending texture and to a certain extent flavor of the soup.  I went with a 50/50 mix of Russet (very starchy) and Yukon Gold (Less starchy).
  • I changed from chicken stock to beef stock.  I thought that the beef stock would add an earthy….no, I’m lying.  I was out of chicken stock.  But I was right, the beef stock did add a nice rich, earthy flavor.
  • The blender got angry with the soup.  It was just too thick.  Switch to a stick blender, and leave everything right in the crock.

Delicious, quick and easy.  Thanks Bitchin’ in the Kitchen!

P.S.  Get it…range report?  *Snicker*
