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

Quick Carrot Soup - Published

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ginger-carrot-soup-recipe.html?oc=linkback

1 -  No alterations needed for this one. I can't claim it as my own, but I sure can keep making it, if it keeps coming out delicious.
2 - Quote "Sunshiny buttery goodness".

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, peeled and chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1.5 lbs carrots, sliced
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 cup heavy cream
2 tsps salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Sour cream
  1. In a soup pot, add butter and onions and cook, stirring often, until onions start to soften. 
  2. Add the broth, carrots, and ginger. Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer until the carrots are well on to tender.
  3. In a blender or with an immersion blender, puree until smooth. 
  4. Return to the pot and stir in the cream. Add the salt and pepper and reheat until quite hot. The heat will counterbalance the dollop of sour cream added as the finishing touch.
