Well, that backfired!!

I try cooking all sorts of things.  Not all of it ends up being "my favorite" but I generally like most things I make.  I would say 90 - 95% of recipes fall into the "I'll make that again" category.

Rarely is it that I make something that I can can barely eat or absolutely hate.

So this must be one of those rare times...

Last night, after making dinner (from a Cooking Light recipe, where I get most of my recipes) I whipped up a quick soup, also out of CL.  I knew tonight would be busy, the hubby at practice and then I leave to swim and run before he gets home.  And I won't be home until 9 or so.  I figured I'd make this soup, take some for lunch today and then eat it for dinner too.  The hubby surely can heat up soup for his dinner, right??

I was interested and excited about this soup.

1. It was easy to make
2. It only made 4 servings so I wouldn't be left eating soup lunch and dinner for the next week
3. It had parsnips - which I feel is a very under-utilized veggie in my house
4. It also used a gourmet mushroom blend - and I love me some fungi!!
5. It had chickpeas and I'm trying to incorporate more beans into my diet (flatulence aside...)
6. It used a prepared rotisserie chicken - can't get easier than that

I whipped all of it together while doing other things like cleaning up the kitchen, watching TV, etc...

Today I just heated up the soup for lunch and...

Ugh!  It was awful!!  Not often will I say that about a recipe.  I practically held my nose to get it all down.  (It was all I had for lunch, after all....) 

Shame on you Cooking Light for publishing that recipe!!!

Hopefully I can get the hubby to suck down a serving before I bring to his attention that I didn't care for it and throw out the remaining 2 servings... (or for my luck he'll actually like it...  who am I kidding?  He doesn't like mushrooms and I don't think he really cares for parsnips....)
