So i've been sick with a sinus infection/cold/sore throat lately and been constantly needing hot drinks and spicy soups to help clear out my system.
So today I decide to try fixing my own soup for lunch, starting out with this:
Afterwards, I added a few things in the hopes of making it better:
- 3 chopped up whole tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground chipotle
- 1/8th cup of hot sauce
- A bunch of shredded deli-style mozzarella cheese
- Some salted turkey lunchmeat from my fridge
I mixed it all together, hoping the things I'd added would be tasty. Unfortunately I couldn't be more wrong. I made a huge mistake by adding 1 1/2 cups of water to the mix, which diluted down the soup way too much and ruined the taste. The tomatoes were way too numerous and they became soggy. The cheese didn't melt completely and turned to the consistency of sticky used chewing gum and sank to the bottom of the pot. The turkey tastes way out of place and conflicts with the taste of the corn chowder.
The only ingredients that really worked well was the ground chipotle and hot sauce, though IMO I added way too much hot sauce.
The end concoction has looked like this, and i'll tell you, it's disgusting. It tastes and feels disgusting when I try to eat it. A lot of the cheese and other stuff in the soup sank down in the pot and pretty much stuck to the bottom and burned.
