Welcome back JT! Glad your patient is doing much better. That soup reminds me of when my mother & I would go to Charleston for Spoleto & one of the big churches would serve lunches & their crab soup was so delicious. I would also order
a pimento cheese sandwich to go w/ it. I loved the old guys who would walk around with bottles of sherry & ask if you wanted a splash in your soup. Great memories.
That soup looks mighty fine!
LOL!
I lived for a while with a family from Mississippi; and the Pimento Sandwich was one of the staples at every party. I wasn’t crazy about them, but I gulped them down and said they were fine, because that’s what a lady is supposed to do ;-)
Lately I’ve learned that cheddar and jalapeno is much more to my liking!
Mmmm, that reminds me of one of the old chain restaurants in L.A., forgetting the name but they made a delicious split pea soup served with a tiny carafe the size of a shot glass with sherry in it. Even when I was quite underage they would serve it that way, making me feel very grown up. Split pea soup simply has to have sherry in it.
