Spaulding Soup


Celia’s Sweet Potato and Corn soup...Early December Soup...Spaulding Soup
first made: 12/2/08

The ingredients are flexible. Tonight, I had fresh corn, baked sweet potato, and a fresh can of chipotle in adobo, so it was obviously go time. 

I was experimenting with these ingredients when Spaulding Gray went into the river. I recently tried to read his journals, but could not continue. 

Givens:

1 large baked sweet potato
1 cup corn
3 cups stock (I make a veg stock with parmesan rinds)
Adobo or green chile or jalapeno (to taste)

Optional/Variations: 

Roasted red pepper strips
Parmesan rind
Miso
oregano
Add shrimp at the end
Stir in yogurt. (or milk or cream or sour cream)

Ideas:
Start with onions.  Caramelized
Something green? Scallions?
Add lentils, butter beans, penne?

A sweet, hot, slow burn;  very delicious.
