Tyler is our chef, at least it seems to be working out that way! He is always wanting to try to cook new things or wants to be given the opportunity to attempt to bake something on his own. When Tyler was pre-school age he would help me make bread except he wasn't interested in just helping me put cups of flour in my bowl, he wanted his own bowl! So we would put little bits of yeast, sugar, flour, water, etc. in his bowl and amazingly he always made a wonderful small loaf of bread. Now Tyler has moved on to bigger and better works of art in the kitchen...he can mix up two loaves of bread for our family and do most of it on his own without any help...he loves to mix up cookies or a cake...and of course pancakes for breakfast or helping out at any meal is great fun.
Well, the other day Tyler got this idea that he wanted to make up his own recipe for soup. He wanted to make it just one serving so that he could cook it up in his small camping dishes that he had gotten for his birthday last year. His plan was to be able to cook it over the fire outside. For the trial run of his recipe we decided to try it over the stove inside...
Here is Tyler's recipe:
Simple Soup (serves 1 person)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. salt
half tomato chopped (or about 1/3 can tomatoes)
1/4lb hamburger or cubed meat, cooked
chopped chives
1 beef bouillon cube
1/4 tsp. pepper
a small handful frozen corn
pinch garlic
1/8 tsp. basil
Simmer until done.
After Tyler made his soup, he ate it for dinner and we all tried a spoonful, he then decided he could add more ingredients to his soup. He did a great job and enjoyed the results!
