Soup of the Week

Kakavia or Greek Fisherman's Soup
A classic Greek dish often compared to the French bouillabaisse, any Greek will tell you that it's tastier and easier to make! Traditionally made with the catch of the day, the selection of fish and seafood can be changed with the seasons, as long as the fish are fairly small and suitable for boiling.

Doing some planting in the next few weeks and before I know it, these lovely Z's will be coming out my ears!  Unfotunately, I'm the only one in my house who likes this versatile vegetable.  If you live in a similar situation, just remember that it's really easy to hide zucchini in soups and casseroles, especially if you peel it:)

I know this picture has nothing to do with soup, lambs or cucumbers...but I'm in a hurry and this was the best I could come up with.  Actually, it's a photo of the Silent Treatment band just before a Holiday Gig for the Finnish Club in Singapore.  Oh, I think maybe they served lamb that night.  Well, there you have it ~ dicey, but a connection none the less.  Oh, this is actually a really nice soup.....

OK, just one more for Mike Piretra...he even has funny names for his soup; not only that, I just had to post the amazing note he sent me after the write-up I did for him last week.  And I quote, "Wow!  Heidi, holy shit! That was really a great write up..... Damm girl you put a smile on my face. Really put me in a fantastic mood. Thank you so much  really made me happy and that's awesome !!! YOU ARE AWSOME! Thank you Heidi God bless you and your family,, and Merry Christmas Happy New Year,, your friend from Jersey,,, Michael : )" Sounds kind of like HE'S on steroids....

If you're one of those people who loves Thanksgiving leftovers and wants a creative way to use them, this recipe is for you. If you love Thanksgiving dinner but currently have the 'been there, done that' feeling, keep this recipe on the back burner (banish extra stuffing and turkey to the freezer). If you're a Thanksgiving dinner hater, we recommend rewinding to another ITS recipe (maybe Roasted Balsamic Tomato Soup with a killer grilled cheese sandwich??). Everyone covered? Go forth and eat soup   : )
