Bleu Harvest Soup Food

HARVEST SOUP

Steps:

• Place water and Harvest Soup Mix in a heavy pot and simmer 1 hour.
• Add all other ingredients and simmer another hour.
• Options: Make with smoked sausage and add 1 cup of each fresh diced apples and sweet potatoes, instead of tomatoes.
• Other spices that can be added: savory, garlic and tarragon.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and evenly space the chicken cutlets in the center. Brush the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, rotating the baking sheet as needed so the chicken cooks evenly, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to broil until cooked through, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top each piece of chicken with 1 slice ham and 2 slices mozzarella. Broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
• Meanwhile, cut the baguette crosswise into 4 equal pieces, then split open. Spread the bottom halves with butter and the top halves with mustard. Toss the watercress with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sandwich the chicken and watercress between the baguette halves.

BRIDGET JONES' BLUE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine everything but the blue food colouring into a saucepan.
• Cook for about 30 minutes until potatoes become mush.
• Mash up potatoes and veggie mixture.
• (If you are impatient, you can put this into a blender or food processor to puree- just like Bridget did. But be careful, WARNING: make sure the soup is not boiling hot when you pour it into the blender or food processor- or else the same thing will happen to you that happened to Bridget where the contents comes spewing out all over the room. And let me tell you, you will NOT be yelling "Oh Bugger! Oh Bugger Bugger!" you will be screaming bloody murder and in the hospital with 3rd degree burns. Make sure you cool the mixture first please - remember, Bridget Jones's Diary was a movie, in real life what she did was quite dangerous).
• After the soup is pureed, add a couple of drops of blue food colouring- how much is up to you and how blue you want your soup to be.
• Mix soup well to blend in the food colouring.
• Just before serving, add a little sour cream on top of blue soup if you desire and garnish with chopped chives.
• If you are seriously a die hard Bridget fan, you can add a few strands of string- but I don't recommend it- this is meant to be a delicious, edible version of this novelty soup.
