There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Rutabaga Paprika Soup - Testing

https://www.chowhound.com/recipes/smoked-paprika-and-rutabaga-bisque-11551

1 - This is pretty much the same as the Rutabaga Chipotle Soup, except for the spices. I may just change the other soup to a Spiced Rutabaga Soup and give the option of chipotle or paprika?

3 Tbsps. (42g) butter
1 onion (6oz/170g) coarsely chopped
2 medium celery stalks, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 lbs. rutabaga, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 4 1/4 cups)
4 cups (1 quart) vegetable broth
2 cups light cream
2 1/2 tsps. smoked paprika
1 tsp. ground white pepper
  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Once butter foams, add onion, and season generously with salt.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add celery, rutabaga and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until rutabaga is tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
  5. Add half-and-half, paprika, and pepper and stir to combine.
  6. Allow soup to cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. (You will have to do this in batches.)
