Well, May has come and gone, I have been out of my mind busy the last three weeks, and it appears that our only serious competitor, Dr. Biggles, has been about the same, so we have no soup recipes. I have the cookbook prize in my possession, so the contest will happen someday, but perhaps the thing to do is table it until soup season resumes in the autumn. Perhaps by then we may have a little time to ourselves to tinker with creamy chickeny concoctions for the general betterment of mankind. Tune in next October.

what about summer cream of chicken soup? chilled, with cucumbers and stuff? is that totally disgusting? i'm going to experiment.
ps - i made a sweet potato/chicken chili from the whole foods cookbook recently that wasn't half bad. but no cream was involved.
