Besides being the world headquarters for good food and wonderful music, New Orleans is a city of surpassing oddness.\u00c2\u00a0 Eccentricity is welcome here and treated tenderly.\u00c2\u00a0 In part that’s why I love New Orleans.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, I know, the city has a hierarchy and code of conduct impenetrable to outsiders.\u00c2\u00a0 But alongside that– you have the Duck Lady, “A Confederacy of Dunces,” the effigy of\u00c2\u00a0 Ernie K. Doe, some very peculiar masquerade balls, voodoo, and on and on.<\/p>\n
Dill Pickle Soup is big, easy and odd and should have been invented in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
But it seems to have been invented in my kitchen.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is the recipe.<\/p>\n
For every two servings, take a can of condensed Cream of Celery soup and dilute it somewhat, but not to the extent suggested on the can. \u00c2\u00a0 Keep the soup thick.\u00c2\u00a0 Now finely chop some drained dill pickle.\u00c2\u00a0 (The fineness of the chop is important).\u00c2\u00a0 Add the chopped pickle, to taste, to the soup (Experiment with the amount of pickle.)\u00c2\u00a0 Heat and eat. Ummmmmmm.\u00c2\u00a0 This recipe works for a crowd– just use a can of the creamed soup for every two servings.<\/p>\n
