When I typed the title for the post this evening, it came up as “turkey-soup-9.” It seems I’ve posted about turkey soup a few times. I went back and started reading the posts, and they all were pretty much the same. “Best part of Thanksgiving.” “Boil the carcass.” Talk about originality. It seems I pretty much make the same soup over-and-over again.

I switch out ingredients, change the pasta, add beans or barley, and, generally just clean out the refrigerator, but the basic soup really is always the same.I’m either in a rut or I’ve achieved perfection. Personally, I’ll call it perfection, because lord knows I’m never in a rut. And, it tasted pretty darned good.

Thing is, it’s pretty hard to screw up a soup. All ya need to do is throw things in a pot and let Mother Nature take over. Provided you’re not trying to replicate a specific flavor, taste, time, or place, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a reasonably good result.

And in not trying to replicate anything, it sorta looks like I’ve just replicated the past 9 years or so…

So much for not being in a rut…
