Last night, I cooked up some Turkey soup: turkey parts with carrots, onion, celery, garlic and my favorite (Bell’s) poultry seasoning and something possessed me to throw in a single, whole dried Habanero pepper (into approximately 3 quarts of soup). It cooked about 3 hours or so and Wow, that pepper so hot, the resulting soup warmed me up from the first sip!

I was careful to fish it out the pepper and discard it… I flirted with the idea of mincing it, but the soup was so good, I didn’t want to overdo it. I finished late in the evening, so I covered the pot and stood it outside a few minutes and it was quickly cool enough to put in the refrigerator! I added some pasta and it was a masterpiece for lunch!
