It's Soupy's 100th post!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

And to celebrate, I will name my favorite soup:

Ubernoodel

The stock is part beef and part chicken. A couple of large leftover bones with some meat are perfect.
The veggies are parsnip, rutabaga, capsicum peppers, and radishes. Leek if you like it. (Don’t chop. Put into a wire mesh bag with the bones at the bottom of the kettle. They will be removed to eat as side vegetables.)

Add nutmeg when the noodles start to crowd out the liquid.

The noodles must be superfine and fresh egg noodles, preferably homemade, but many “premium” dried brands will do. (The “fresh dairy case noodles” are too thick, even the Angel hair, so stick to dried.)

THE KEY IS DOUBLE-AND-A-HALF NOODLES.
Take a normal amount and just put in 2½ times that.

When the noodles are cooked, it’s not soupy at all, but packed like drained spaghetti, so it piles high in the bowl. (But if you have to drain it, you used too much liquid.)

Ahh… Just like Gramma used to make!

Sounds like you’ve got the food covered, so can I bring the beer?

Here’s to Soupy’s 100th! And here’s to plenty of leftovers!

So, are you going to ask the children out there to send you little green pieces of paper with pictures of presidents on them from their parents’ wallets?

Happy 100th! It took you long enough, but at my rate, I might never get there.

I brought the wine box. Hope you like Reissling. Sounds good with “noodels”

Well, I’m not much for “birthday parties”, but a soup recipe is a good twist.

I notice you didn’t mention amounts by the ingredients.
Is that because you’re a good cook and can wing it,
Or does it mean you think we are?

Either way, I never have time for soup.

But here’s MY party recipe:
1 bag chips.
1 tub dip.
1 bottle of wine.
1 chromatic harmonica.
2 women from the next floor.

Say, that’s a great idea! (Hope your 100th is happy)

Then again, there’s Oscar Madison’s dinner recipe (I’m doing this by memory, so there might be errors)

Heat one Italian TV dinner and one Mexican TV Dinner. Dump contents in bowl. Shake well.

OK, I’m not much of a cook, so I have to ask – why bones? You can’t eat the bones, do they just add flavor or something?

Congrats, BTW

NOW you tell me! spits out half-chewed bone

Your beer was great. Love dark.

SterlingNorth-
You heard him kiddies- all donations gleefully accepted:D

Alpha- Riesling would be perfect! German beer with German Nudelsuppe, what could be better?
(If the label really says Reissling, though it’s the Mexican kind. Good enough for friends, but don’t try to impress your boss with it.)

Show_Biz -
If there’s two women you’re bringing, is one here to meet me or do we have to get her to call a friend?

DRY - Oscar Madison would be proud!

BratMan007- If the bones are open (beef), the marrow adds flavor, and you eat it. Chicken bones can be split to release marrow, but there’s not much. The main reason for soupbones is you don’t lose meat you can’t easily remove before cooking.

Kat- You CAN eat the bones for the calcium, but you will scratch up your teeth. That’s why dogs have no teeth. Actually, I meant eat them like a plate of ribs, spitting out the bones and digging out the marrow.(Want a TUMS before or after dessert? It’s Sachertorte!)

Fanny May- Thanks! I had a lot of fun on that one. Glad you got it (some didn’t).
I see you’re coming up to 100.
Email me when you’re ready for a party, and I’ll have a free cat for you! (Hope you don’t mind the expensive catfood, it’s all that a female Blue Point Siamese can digest, or so she “tells” me.)

Hey, at least you’re not The Soup Nazi.

Congatulations, stick around. These weirdos will grow on you. Now pass me a beer and a lawn chair!

(Aggh! Typo! This is what happens when you retry to rearrange write in a huuury, also, usw…und so weiter
. Yes I know Riesling is a wine, not a beer. No more cards an letters about that, please. You’re giving my postman a hernia.)

Mr. Cynical The Soup Nazi was a actully a misnomer.
He was not in the party, but a conscript, and therefore unable to rise out of the mess wagon.
I like his Zwei-bohnenensuppe (two Bean Soup) , though.
