Easy Pea-sy Warming Soup
I made this soup one afternoon when I was so exhausted, I didn't even want to cook. At home, we call soups like this 'Runny Nose' soups, because they make your nose run from the hot spices (not to mention the temperature itself!), but I thought a combination of that name and the soup colour would be too much for some - needless to say, this soup perked me up right away and left my tongue tingling pleasantly. Many soup puritans would have me hung, drawn and quartered for adding cornstarch to a soup - but, at the time, i wanted a light (both flavour and calorie wise) and extremely flavourful soup, and so didn't want to add my usual thickeners (potato, lentils, ect). If you are object to the cornstarch approach, the white potato trick is a great sub. I had some strong mushroom stock lying around from a previous mushroom dish, but veggie stock or mushroom stock cubes (if you can find them, a great investment) would do the trick just fine too.
