It's been unusually cold in Houston lately, or is it that we get so clustered with HUMIDITY during the summer that our body goes into temperature shock when our lovely city hits the 30's? Needless to say, it's been unbearably cold and I can tell by the way my blokes/blokettes on twitterverse have been raving about the weather, and not necessarily in the positive light . There is nothing greater then a nice bowl of warm bliss after freezing your mittens off while out there grinding for your family. I tweeted yesterday "Dont Cheat yourself, Treat yourself, hard work doesn't always mean instant gratification,but through consistency, it always pays off." Case in point, I am very family oriented, I love to see my son smile, and love making my wife happy by being her loving husband, his loving father. I was literally taken to the gates of Heaven with each sip, it's love gone right, coming home to a bowl of homemade Spicy Tomato Soup. Now if you don't have someone to come home to, then perhaps you could only imagine what it feels like, but in the absence of such priceless commodities, there is no doubt that this soup will warm your gastronomic insides. For my blokes who feels like they can't toast bread without burning it, or my blokettes who were raised a princess and have never cooked a meal in your life, here's a simple solution, relatively easy, EXTREMELY DELICIOUS. Lets Get it!!!
Ingredients:
4-5 Cups of water
1/4 cup of Tomato Sauce(More or less depending on texture,if u want it thicker,add more)
Green Peas
Corn
Diced carrots
Diced onions
Diced jalapeno peppers(Use your discretion as to how much,if you don't like it spicy, omit the peppers)
1 teaspoon of MSG
1 tablespoon of sugar
1/2tablespoon of salt
Black pepper(Use as needed)
Method
1.Bring water to a boil
2.Add the green peas/carrots and corn
3.Add the seasonings
4.Taste and adjust to your likings by adding a pinch more or less of seasonings
You could get fancy and add more vegetables, rice, and cilantro, the choice is yours. But you want to make sure your carrots are soft, this is how you will know if your soup is done. This isn't Progresso America, this is Home Made, it just wouldn't be same if I opened a can of soup and heated it up on the stove, now would it.
