Food for Two

Salima and David:

The way I see it, sitting around a table over well prepared food is what makes strangers into friends and friends into family. So, many wishes for plentiful encounters with strangers, long drawn out dinners, a warm house, and endless adventures in the kitchen and elsewhere.

Spicy Turkey Chorizo Soup

*This is a hearty and amazing soup. It's spicy, it's sour, it's the best soup you'll ever try. Promise.


Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 large chopped white onion
3 crushed garlic cloves
2 chopped red Thai chillies (essential!)
3 large turkey sausages, cut into 2cm pieces
1 large can of diced (not crushed) tomatoes
10 white mushrooms, thickly sliced
1.5 cans of water (use the same can that the tomatoes came from)
2 tbsp of fresh cut cilantro
1 cube beef bouillion
1 cup of orzo pasta
0.5 lemon


Line a large pot with the olive oil and add the sliced up onion bits. Add in the chopped sausage and allow the onions to cook until soft. Add in garlic and chillies.

Wilde Oscar says: The chillies are key here. Don't be timid, the frying will kill of some of the heat. But make sure you've got Thai chillies!

Add in the diced tomatoes, water, mushrooms cilantro and bouillon cube. On max heat, allow the mixture to come to a boil.

Add in the orzo and allow the mixture to come to a boil again. Reduce the heat slightly and allow soup to cook until orzo is soft.

Squeeze lemon juice into soup and serve.

Wilde Oscar says: By the second day the orzo will have absorbed so much of the liquid it'll pretty much be a stew. Still awesome though.
