Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for June 14, 2016

More like Moses and his son if you ask me.

Tony and Soupy BevI’m partial to the Tomato Soup at Panera. Or a nice big bowl of Pho.

I’m always making soup… hard to pick a favorite, especially when some have no names or recipes, but result from a happy coincidence of ingredients on hand.

In winter I often make a thick chicken borscht, all from scratch….with cabbage, beets (fresh if I can get them), carrots, potatoes and tomatoes (OK, in winter those are canned), usually with other fresh vegetables too…it has lots of chicken in it, so it’s dinner in a bowl.

But I also love clear Asian style soups, with strong broth. You add soaked rice noodles to it, and fresh cilantro and basil and such.Usually I make it myself, from chicken; occasionally, I go out for a big bowl of pho, cos several pho places have opened here in recent years, and I don’t want to make a big pot of beef bone broth for one person.

Oh, Rose… funny, I was typing about pho when you said that.And yeah, I forgot about tomato soup.I love it…and tomato bisque too.

In spite of disliking most canned soup, I used to love Campbell’s Tomato soup….made with half milk and half water…till one day I discovered that the reason it was so addictive was that it had been turned into candy…the main ingredient is high fructose corn syrup…so I gave it up….sigh….

Hot & Sour Soup.

@Tony

Once – the piglet a friend of ours got as a wedding-present was too cute.It had a happy life of one year, then we got a piece of it.Other than that – we never had livestock.

I would answer, but what pho?

Moses didn’t have a daddy. He was an orphan.

Ramen. We have several great places here and one outstanding on within walking distance.Who hasn’t made a mashed potato volcano with gravy?

Did you play with your food?

No, but sometimes it plays with me…

Hate peas, love split-pea soup with ham. Makes a great winter meal.

This is day 2 of a rerun week of 2011 Father’s Day related Daddy’s Home strips.

Bought either broccoli and cheese or clam chowder.Make myself: vegetable beef with tomatoes from my garden..

@Tony Not sure anyone will see my answer but my favorites are homemade chicken (mine and my son’s) and dumplings and creamy potato (mine)

@JPW Of course, didn’t everyone? :-)

Favorite soup? Gee, I can’t pick just one! Everything everyone mentioned, and then there is Chicken Corn Soup, Senate Bean Soup, Italian Wedding Soup, etc. etc.

He must be having Tomato Soup.
