  2. We loved this one! Great soup - has you coming back for seconds. Finding we really like the corn/curry combination! Other then using just a bit of the cilantro and subbing the rest with parsley I made as posted. How good - been added to my soup collection.
     
  3. Oh man is this soup ever delicious, not to mention easy to make, I think it must be all the combos of different flavors going on in this soup that makes it so good! I increaed the curry waaaaay up, added in lots of fresh garlic and increased the shrimp, I can't wait to make this again, the next time I will double or triple the recipe, it is THAT good! thanks for sharing this one Paula, wonderful recipe!...Kitten:)
     
  4. Delicous soup. Easy to make and a light dish. I replaced the chicken broth by a homemade vegetable broth and used a slightly more sweet apple. I would recommend to sear the shrimps insted of cooking. I've read the recipe several times and was surprised to find, that the bell pepper was not cooked. But this worked so well. An interesting recipe at first sight, but after the first mouthful I knew this is a winner. All the different flavors found a counterpart. The lime juice is in contrast to the sweet taste of corn. The more pepperines notes of the soup is surrounded by the mild note of buttermilk and the fruity touch of the apples. Cilantro combined freshness and harmonized well with bell pepper. And the shrimps? Yes, they are the single highlights in this sea of different well blended flavors.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
