It's a chilly rainy day, but I planned ahead last night and drunkenly mixed up some dough for whole wheat bread. Another hour or so, and it'll be time to bake it.
I want to make soup of some kind to go with it — I have basic veggies (carrots, onions, garlic, bell pepper, tomatoes), every kind of grain and canned beans imaginable, and vegan "meat" crumbles. The obvious thing would be to make chili, but that sounds kind of boring.
Does anyone have a better idea?
Luke Flores
minestrone?
Easton Green
That's not a bad idea, although I don't have zucchini or green beans. I have frozen peas, maybe I could substitute those for green beans?
Noah Stewart
no green beans does suck I guess but I don't see why peas wouldn't be an okay substitute
David Anderson
My concern is that peas tend to be much sweeter than green beans, which might throw off the balance of the soup.
Daniel Lewis
quinoa bowl w onions and peppers and tomatoes. great with bread
Logan Anderson
Chili only boring when you come at it with that attitude Make that chili baybuh MAKE that chilly chili
Grayson Ortiz
YOU RIGHT, YOU RIGHT, FUCK IT, I'M MAKING CHILI. Gonna do a fake meat chili with black beans and corn. I might add some brown rice towards the end, we'll see.

Eewww! I know some 1840's cattle drovers whose skeletons are collectively turning over in their grave.

skip the corn, add sliced carrots. absolutely no rice goes in chili
Wyatt Hernandez
I know rice isn't ~traditional~ but it adds some good texture. Debating using farro instead, or just skipping it altogether.
So far I've got onions, green bell peppers, a jalapeño, carrots, garlic all sautéd until soft. Added cumin and ancho chipotle powder, chopped tomatoes, corn, and veggie "meat" crumbles. Cooked that for a few minutes, then added veggie broth. Gonna let it cook while the oven preheats and my bread does its second rise (pic related)

Update, I tried scoring the dough for the first time and might have ruined it. FML. Putting it in the oven now.
Matthew Powell
i believe in u and ur bread
Xavier Phillips
Thank you, user. 4 minutes until I pull it out of the oven to take the lid off and see how badly I've fucked it up.
Lucas Barnes
Oh shit, I didn't fuck it up (from what I can tell.) I was worried I had deflated it too much by scoring too deeply, but here's what it looks like now. Removed the parchment paper, putting it back in without a lid for 10-15 min!
Jayden Hill
Put barley or something in it instead.
Jackson Jenkins
Might should have taken it out 2 minutes earlier, but I'm really pleased with how the loaf turned out. Gotta let it cool before I cut it, though.
Chili is cooking nicely, gonna skip the rice/farro because I'm hungry and I want to eat after the bread cools.
Thomas Foster
Turns out traditional long-rise bread tastes way better than quick-rise bread.
Luis Taylor
Unff. Dis shit look good right here. How's the chili coming??
Samuel Wilson
Chili's delicious — added black beans towards the end. It's nice and spicy, and perfect with a spoonful of sour cream mixed in. It and the bread are perfect together.
