“If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be messed up!” – Mitch Hedberg. Okay, couldn’t resist from beginning this post with a classic Mitch Hedberg quote, one of my favorite comedians. Since we’re focusing on carrots, well… I cannot deny fresh seasonal produce, and carrots are popping up at markets all over these days. I…

…and not even my Grandma’s for that matter! This chicken soup derivation is one I have refined over the years. Classic chicken noodle is okay, but this one cranks-it-up a notch. I’m drawn to the flavors of herb roasted chicken, and this soup incorporates some of that savory, richness with fresh lemon, fresh thyme, white wine & garlic. A perfect soup when you…

I was so excited to try this soup, and followed the recipe to a T. I felt like adding 1 tsp cayenne seemed like a bit much, and so I added 3/4 tsp. It was still too spicy to eat by the end, even though I like spicy foods. Could I just add more cream to cool it down?
More awesome photos of killer looking food…..and you don’t even do this for a living…..good job!
Hi Erica, I know I already emailed you with my apologies and some tips that may help to calm the spice down! (For anyone else who runs into a similar issue with red pepper, if possible, add more cooked potato or carrot, which you can quick chop & steam in microwave if you have to. Also, more cream wand stock will help dilute, then you can reduce liquid on a slow heat till desired thickness). I have amended the recipe to call for less red pepper! Though mine wasn’t overly hot, I may have mis-judged what I put into the soup pot. Thank you for leaving a comment and letting me know. Respectfully, Lyndsy
Thanks Shawn! It’s a work in progress that’s for sure. This soup was really good, (minus the red pepper detail, yikes). I’m thinking a pesto post soon, so may need to compare recipes with you!
