Mad about Apple Pie Soup

What I love about crock pot cooking is its versatility. You can cook ahead on busy days or on slow ones (for instance, say your friend, Anne, has a Mad Men party where you drink like a 50s housewife, which means you spend all day Sunday parenting like one: Kids, go climb on that snow pile until my Advil kicks in. Hypothetically, of course.).

It’s sad what two glasses of wine does to my body these days. I actually went to see my doctor about it after a single glass of chardonnay brought on the bed spins (of course, I assumed I had a brain tumor. And then I called my friends to ask if they thought I had a brain tumor.). But my doctor said that’s the effect alcohol has on women my age, which I don’t understand, considering I only hit the legal drinking age a decade few years ago.

Back to the crock pot. Nothing takes the chill out of our boys’ bones like Apple Pie Soup. I love its richness, its autumnal smells, that you can serve it as a side dish or, with a little cream, your main entree.

But apparently I cook like a 50s housewife, too, because something went seriously wrong with my soup. One too many substitutions, I guess, so no picture today.

  1. Great picture – sounds like a fun party! I have yet to see an episode of Mad Men, but I plan to catch up when the next marathon is aired. Yes, I too, get tired after only a glass (or two) of wine, and I also am only a few months past legal drinking age. (By months, I mean about 140 months.)

  2. Cute picture! The soup sounds great, just the ticket to keep us warm during the current snow storm. Thanks!

  3. You and your girl friends are always doing the wackiest stuff! GREG

  4. You can’t possibly be older than 25 :)

    Apple pie soup sounds more like dessert than dinner, but I like that!

  5. Love the outfits. You both look so elegant — like you’re ready for an afternoon tea complete with white gloves and pearls. What a great idea for a get-together. ;)

  6. Sounds like a fabulous party! Apple pie soup? I have to check that out!

  7. What a cute picture. And what a great idea for a party. We should do that here at the ad agency where I work. That would be fun!

  8. I think you need to switch to hard liquor.

  9. Wow! I’m gong to have to try this, but I might substitute my homemade canned apple pie filling–I have jars and jars of it to use up!
