Blog Post & Recipe: Chorizo & White Bean Soup with Queso Fresco

The chorizo flavored the broth with its spicy smoky flavor and made me really happy. I made a big pot and froze it in serving-size containers, so each time I made it I experimented with toppings. I tried grated mozzarella with a sprinkle of minced Italian parsley, which was good. But the dollops of salty, crumbly Queso Fresco cheese with minced cilantro and basil sprinkled over the top was the best.

Article/Recipe: Homage to crap food.
The comments section of this blog post is full of suggestions for "crap food", the kind that means white bread, baked beans, and cheese.

You know, when in times of dire need/upset in college my best friend and I used to make a nutella and mild cheddar cheese sandwich, on white bread, and then fry it.

Round oatcakes topped with sliced cheese (I use red leicester) and sliced jalapenos, microwaved until the cheese is all melty and the oatcakes a bit bendy (about a minute)served with Rowatts Mixed Pickles - difficult to track down. Fantastic.

Also, cooked pasta (any kind) heated up with beans, mushrooms chilli flakes and veggie mince, covered with grated cheese and stuck under a hot grill until it's bubbly is genius.

I also pull out the stalks of closed cup mushrooms and fill the hole left with a mixture of english mustard and salad cream and eat them raw while waiting for things to cook.

For Hangover comfort food you can't beat tomato juice, lucozade, fried egg rolls with tomato & chilli ketchup and salt and vinegar macoys.
