I swiped a soup recipe from a friend’s blog a day or thought I would give it a try today. The recipe called for “chipotle powder”. Hmm, I couldn’t find that at the market, but I had some dried chipotle pepper, so I figured I’d just re-hydrate a few of those, chop them up and toss them in.
Dear sweet baby jeebus, make it stop burning! Maybe one pepper would have been better, you think?
The soup really is yummy, once the nerve cells in your mouth have died off. Almost has a chocolatey base-note to it, despite the utter lack of chocolate or cocoa in it. If I like it as a left-over, I’ll have to convert the recipe to the “browse house style” ™ recipe format.
You have inspired me again. I just made whatever soup, and it smells delicious. I put a judicious amount of chipotle in. Or I hope it’s judicious. Soup makes it okay that it’s winter. Kinda.
Try chipotle in adobo. Fantastic!
