    Here's one I "invented" as celery soup some time ago. A fellow echo
    member (Ian Hoare) informed me that the correct term for the result
    as a "potage" rather than a soup. One could use vegetable broth if
    following a vegan diet.

    Title: Celery Potage
    Categories: Five, Soups, Vegetables, Poultry, Udd
    Yield: 8 Servings

    2 qt Chicken Broth
    1/2 Stalk (not rib) celery;
    - chopped small *
    1 lg Onion; chopped
    6 cl Garlic; peeled, squished
    Salt & Pepper

    Put two quarts of chicken broth (1 48 oz can and 1 16
    oz can) and add chopped celery, onion and garlic in the
    crock pot. Add salt and pepper.

    Turn unit on to low and go to work.

    When you come home get out the immersion blender (Cajun
    motorboat) and puree potage until as smooth as you like.
    Soup will be thick and creamy.

    Taste for seasoning and add S&P as needed.

    You can add a couple diced potatoes to this to stretch
    it out a bit, if you like. If you use tatties - add
    more salt.

    * I first built this dish when I had a half stalk
    (bunch) of celery in the ice box that was past using
    in salads or anything requiring crunch - but, was too
    good to bin.

    Thanks, i was unaware of the term "potage." I guess some of it may be
    dialect, such as "oatmeal" vs "porridge."

    My wikidictionary says potage = a thick creamy soup.

    A long time ago, Ian visited us in Columbia, MD and Gail made some of
    her version of split pea soup. The end result was a thick soup that you
    could almost stand a spoon upright. Ian was quite surprised at that,
    expecting a soup to be much thinner.

    Title: Tamari Almonds
    Categories: Tested, Bryan's, Vac seal
    Yield: 2 7 oz bags

    3 tb Tamari soy sauce
    1 1/2 tb Vegetable oil
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    3/4 ts Salt
    4 c About 1 1/4 lb whole
    Unblanced almonds

    In large bowl, combine the tamari, oil, cayenne and salt. Mix well.
    Stir in the almonds and stir to coat well. Let sit 1 hour, stirring
    every 15 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. With slotted spoon, remove the almonds
    from the bowl and spread on a foil lined baking sheet in a single
    layer. Discard any remaining marinade.

    Bake 30 minutes, removing baking sheet from oven every 5 minutes or
    so and tossing the almonds with a spatula. Shake pan to help
    distribute almonds evenly.

    When done the almonds will be somewhat dry and crusty looking and
    have a dark coating, BUT they should not be burnt.

    Spoon almonds into another baking sheet or onto a few plates to let
    them cool completely.

    Store in airtight container (or vac. seal)

    Original directions baked almonds for 20 minutes, but I felt I had to
    extend that time since my almonds were still wet looking. The
    additional time worked to make almonds crus ty looking.

    Tested 3/9/11.

    Nice crunch - slight soy taste with a tad of kick.

    It's a Froggish term meaning "thick soup". In my kitchen the difference between "soup" and "stew" is the size of the pieces. Bv)=
