Side Trip:
Doctor’s orders for one week of soft
food are what got us started on our
kitchen marathon last Saturday.
Our daughter has known for several
months that she needed to have her wisdom
teeth extracted,
but she didn’t want
the procedure to mess
up a summer weekend,
so she put it off.
Last Friday was the
day.
Rather than find
a surgeon closer to
Ames where she lives,
she opted for one in
Sioux Falls, SD, that
was recommended by
our local dentist. She
took a day off work,

drove home Thursday night and let me be
her designated driver for Friday.
All went well for the surgery, we were
home by early afternoon, and I worked on
a grocery list of things she could eat.
Mashed potatoes. Smoothies. Yogurt. Ice
cream. Soup.
Knowing we wouldn’t likely be doing
much on Saturday as she recovered, a
simple recipe of potato soup with just five
ingredients mushroomed into a list of ingredients
for four other soup recipes, the
most ambitious of which requires 29 ingredients.
We took a divide-and-conquer approach
on Saturday afternoon: vegetable prepping,
meat browning, can organizing and opening,
measuring out spices and seasonings.
The 29-ingredient stew recipe requires
the largest stock pot I was able to find many
years ago.
The chili, chicken and wild rice, creamy
potato and pumpkin soups all yield more
manageable batches.
There are now neat stacks of each soup in
our freezer, and Katie returned to Ames with
enough soup to get her through the week.
