During this intervention I have put some weird stuff together. Tonight I put two things together that had I tasted them first I probably wouldn’t have served together, but it still worked.

As with many things in my cupboards I have no idea where I purchased the items. The Firenza Beer Bread mix definitely falls in that category. I made it with a stout that one of my home brewing friends made. The bread was good though I was expecting savory and it was sweeter, more like a zucchini bread.

The soup was delicious! The Country Potatoes with haricots verts & wild mushrooms is hands down one of my favorite Trader Joe’s frozen products. I decided to mix it with the Pacific Mushroom Broth to make a soup out of it.

We have a house guest that is a twenty-one year old male with quite an appetite so I opted to use two boxes of soup. With one box it would have been more stew like but just as delicious.

Directions for soup:

Cook 1 bag of potatoes according to directions on package in a large soup pot. Add soup (1 or 2 boxes.) Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve.
