Potato Soup with Fun Chipotle Soy Sauce

Written by Published on Updated on November 18, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hello everyone,

I am back and I hope I find you all well. Our vacation back home was very nice and relaxing. The weather had its on and off days but most of the time we had sun, and  the beaches were wonderful with beautiful colors and warm waters.  I will of course be uploading photos later on this month of our road trip to Greece via the different countries we passed on our way down.

I have only been back a few days, so from the hot climate and wearing shorts, a bathing suit all day, to wearing boots and a warm jacket, fighting the strong winds and trying to walk Charlie is a challenge. While the wind was literally pushing us in all directions, I decided that this was definitely a soup day, Potato soup actually with this wonderful product I found before I left, and absolutely wanted to share with you.  

If you love Soy Sauce,  you will  love this product… Fun Soy Sauce is a Asian style soy sauce made in the UK.  (love the brand name!!!!) I am a soy sauce fan, and I was intrigued by the name and wanted to try this out.  

Fun Soy has 3 different types of sauces Truffle, Lemongrass, and Chipotle,  I was only able to find Chipotle in my store even though I really wanted to try the Truffle soy sauce, but Chipotle surely made up for it. 🙂  It has a Smokey, Chili, and yet spicy delicious taste that can be used as a marinade, in soups, meat, and any type of  food you enjoy adding Soy sauce.  I made the Potato soup and sprinkled the Soy sauce on top, Chipotle made the taste even more delicious…the Potato soup with the velvety texture was a huge success.  🙂

I am sure you guys in the UK are able to find the other two Fun Soy sauces.  Let me know if you do, and if you loved it as much as I did.

Hope you enjoy this Fall recipe….:)

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    HI Sophie! So glad you had a great time and are back! I am now in AZ and it is too hot for any soup right now, but when I get back to Seattle I am sure it will be the best thing to have with a football game 🙂 I also love that pot! Adorable!

    I think you need your own app, and I know that I need to buy it. Once again this looks so good. My mouth is absolutely salivating and this looks ideal. Instead I am about to make frozen waffles. (Eyeroll at myself). I actually do cook, but I wish I cooked like you. I wonder if I could crock pot this soup and let it get all smooshy during the day. Thoughts on crock pot versus a general stove top approach?
