Yes! That's just how it feels.<BR/><BR/>Cookie - I did have fun, so at least only the camera was lost. I found when I reheated the soup for later use, it was thicker than expected, but it still wasn't super-thick.<BR/><BR/>Adam - Glad you liked the photos I was able to take. The open bar definitely induced a lot of craziness!<BR/><BR/>CEF- I am very flattered you found my blog groovy. Glad you dropped you.<BR/><BR/>Sue - The almonds were just an experiment because I like almonds with apples and I still have a lot of almond meal to use up. They didn't add as much to the soup as I had hoped, so if I made this again, I will probably leave them out. <BR/><BR/>The rice suggestion is a good idea. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>NP - You should trade places with my husband. Sir Pickypants HATES parsnips. I'm the only one eating this soup this week. He needs people like you to tell him they're not that scary.<BR/><BR/>Em - Yes, it does sound good. I like your suggestions.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-2514474774054624312008-10-14T05:01:00.000-04:002008-10-14T05:01:00.000-04:00Oh no!

I would have started crying.<BR/><BR/>I like to keep a parsnip in my purse for a weapon. <BR/><BR/>The soup sounds delicious. Wonderful fall flavors. I've been eating a lot of soup lately.<BR/>What if you made a creamy parnsip soup, and then topped it with a spoonful of apple chutney? Or you could top it with some toasted pumpkin seeds? Doesn't that sound good? I think so.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204776831565649927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-54856442113914482832008-10-14T01:29:00.000-04:002008-10-14T01:29:00.000-04:00Parsnips are my favorite root veggie..of all time....Parsnips are my favorite root veggie..of all time.

If you can add them to butternut squash soup (which I do all the time) why not your clubby (lol) parsnips? The almond meal is interesting. Was that supposed to be a thickener? <BR/><BR/>You could also have thrown in a potato to make it thicker OR Julia's trick, I think I mentioned this sometime or other, of adding 2 tablespoons of long grained rice to the soup. Cook it and then when you puree it, it thickens without cream or flour or even potatoes. It's magic.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284023935180677683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-62416405828826627902008-10-13T20:33:00.000-04:002008-10-13T20:33:00.000-04:00see? this sucks. you found me on TNS and in turn i...see? this sucks. you found me on TNS and in turn i just found you via your comment and now i have to add your blog to my reader and well, i am already reading too many...<BR/><BR/>all this to say your blog is groovy. and yes, i used that word.<BR/><BR/>i just read down about 6 posts. very cool indeed.michael, claudia and sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466840130053606273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542361835947520230.post-83001808930103410532008-10-13T15:05:00.000-04:002008-10-13T15:05:00.000-04:00Too bad about your camera Rach...
