I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock!

Turkey, Mushroom and Brown Rice Soup(2014)


Creamy Turkey, Mushroom and Rice Soup.
---It's actually dairy-free. I have people with various degrees of lactose intolerance, so this excites me!
---Plus, I love being able to say things like "You don't see them but there are actually cashews in your soup."
---No nut allergies here. I wouldn't have thought of using sunflower seeds! I wonder what my thoughts will be upon actually noticing sunflower seeds are in a pureed state ... hmmm.
---Three soaking times for the cashews are given. Allot at least an hour ... up to overnight.
---"... use additional turkey stock or water when reheating it for the best consistency!"
---If you don't have leftover turkey, there are helpful instructions for poaching a turkey breast. :-)
