WELL THIS WAS A VERY HEALTHY  SOUP RECIPE .MY ONLY MISTAKE I MADE WAS WHEN THE RECIPE SAID TO ADD A  PINCH OF NUTMEG , I WENT TO SPRINKLE SOME INTO THE SOUP AND THE WHOLE TOP FELL OFF!!!!!!!OH NO !!!!!!!!!HAS THIS EVER HAPPEN TO ANY OF YOU ?  SO I GRAB A SOUP LADLE AND TRY TO GET SOME OF THE BROWN CLUPS OF SPILLED NUTMEG OUT OF MY SOUP ,TO MAKE MATTERS WORST THE SOUP HAD  ALREADY STARTING BOILING, !!!!!  

  WELL , I SERVED IT TONIGHT AND ASKED MY HUSBAND WHAT HE THOUGHT OF IT .HE SAID IT WAS GOOD BUT HAD A LITTLE FUNNY TASTE.I HAD TO TELL HIM IT WAS THE NUTMEG OVERDOSE HE TASTED .SO I SAY THIS SOUP  WOULD HAVE BEEN TASTY IF NOT FOR THE NUTMEG MISTAKE.I LIKED THE CHUNKY PART OF IT WITH THE CELERY, CARROTS ,POTATOES

AND CORN. I RATE THIS SOUP AN 8.FOR TEXTURE AND PRESENTATION.

THIS WAS ANOTHER EASY RECIPE .I AM NOT A FAN OF OLIVES, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHALLENGE I WENT RIGHT BY THE RECIPE.
       I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE LIKE A LOAF BREAD ,THAT YOU COULD MAKE SANDWICHES OUT OF , BUT IT DIDN'T TURN OUT LIKE THAT. IT WAS MORE DENSE LIKE A PUMPKIN BREAD. I WAS A LITTLE   DISAPPOINTED  ON THAT ACCOUNT ,BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO HAVE SANDWICHES FOR DINNER WITH IT.SO WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHATS FOR  DINNER ? MMMM.............................I TOLD HIM I GUESS YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT    .HAHAHA

I HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH IT STICKING TO THE PAN, BUT I DID OIL AND FLOUR THE PAN LIKE SHE SAID IN THE RECIPE.
      THIS IS A VERY FANCY WAY OF DOING A PEACH PIE .IT WOULD BE NICE TO CARRY TO A POTLUCK ,TO IMPRESS FRIENDS .I GIVE THIS RECIPE AN 8[BECAUSE IT STUCK TO THE PAN AND IT WAS A LITTLE TOO SWEET.
