This is with just the beef broth.

Niobe...when you think about how big the batch is and how many portions it is...it's not THAT much.

I like to finish the bowls with some shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

OMG, QUIRKY THAT IS BUTTER???:shock:

[quirky]

It looks like two sticks, but it's one stick. Which is 1/2 cup I think.

[Eskarpin]

It is much to butter!!!!! There no is possibility in America of cooking with oil?

[mav]

She's the dairy queen

[quirky]

Is oil really any better than butter? You need butter for this soup.

[Niobe]

So, it that Flat Jim endorsing the butter rule?

I rarely use butter. Perhaps just on a nice slice of toast! Yum.

Butter is good. I like butter.

You know what we put in a good pie crust? Lard.

[Niobe]

Lard? LARD?? I think I remember my Grandma using that once.

[quirky]

Yes. My grandma taught me how to make it. One day in the ER, we decided to have an apple pie cookoff.

The nursing supervisor, Dr. Bay and myself were the only ones to bring pies.

Everybody won.

[Niobe]

Everybody won.

Great! The type of competition I can win!!

Don't you find cooking techniques change over time? I can't imagine using some of the ingredients that my older relatives used. Or perhaps that's just me.
