Ms. Dominique, with her blog post: Dim Sum on a Friday, on her blog: Dominique's Desk

| My family and I love eating dim sum whenever we get the chance! I just love the different varieties that are available! I think I should try making them...though it is a bit daunting for me. lol Let's see. In the meantime, do click on the picture above and see the other goodies that Ms. Dominique and her family had that day! |

The previous days (and nights) have been colder than usual (and we're loving it!), so I knew I just had to make this: Cheesy Macaroni Soup (with Squash Blossoms).
Ingredients:
- macaroni (around three handfuls)
- squash blossoms (around 7 blossoms, sliced thinly, with the stalks removed)
- cheese (i used what was available: pizza plus pack {mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan} and additional cheddar (block) and some more parmesan)
- salt, pepper, ground nutmeg (just a dash)
- diced bell pepper
- milk (one cup evaporated milk) - you can use cream if that's what you have
- tofu (prepared with tofu, salt and pepper, then fried), and spring onion - both optional
Procedure:
- Place water on pot, then once it's boiling dump in the macaroni. After about 5-8 minutes add in the sliced squash blossoms and diced bell pepper. Stir.
- Wait for around three minutes then add the milk, and cheese (as much as you want! lol). Let simmer for 4 minutes, then add salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg.
- Keep stirring every now and then, until you're satisfied with the taste and consistency.
- Once satisfied, remove from heat.
- Best served hot, with the sliced fried tofu, spring onion, and additional parmesan cheese on top.
I actually made this late one night, at home, while the family and I were watching a movie: Brave (2012 film picture by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures...or so that's what I read.). The hot soup and the awesome animation was a perfect combination! :P

That's a great looking healthy soup. I love the blossoms and tofu fries.
Thanks for the feature. Love the cheese macaroni that you made.
Squash blossom would be my attraction in your soup. But the whole thing is delicious I'm sure.
i really like how you've incorporated vegetables in this soup. i should try this sometimes para makakain ng gulay na di ko mahalata ang texture.:p
I love how you come up with interesting recipes! I know mozzarella and parmesan can be expensive, so if I try this, I might just go with cheddar. :)
@Ms. Oggi: us, too!
@Dominique: you're welcome, and thanks! your food post had me drooling!
@Hazel: oh yes, we loved it! first time i tried those blossoms cooked that way and am glad it turned out great. :)
@LM: you can also put them in the blender. that way, you won't be able to feel the veggies at all. :)
@Jenn: awww, thanks so much! loved your Aunt's labong recipe...must try it soon!

Oh this macaroni soup recipe with cheese and squash blossoms is new to me! Looks so delicious! I'd definitely love to try this one. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :)
@Kriska Marie: thanks, sis! try it :)
Haven't had squash blossoms before, can't even buy them because they're not available in the supermarket nearest our place, but I would surely love to try them in our macaroni soup using your recipe.
