Subject: Vegetable Soup/Applewood Restaurant
Uncle Phaedrus,
You were awesome finding and sending me the recipes and the seasoning used
in the buttered noodles from Zehnders in Frankenmuth, MI. I truly didn't
think I would hear back from you but when I opened my email one morning there
was both the list of ingredients of the seasoning mix and the recipe for the
Zehnders buttered noodles. I loved it.
Since you were actually able to get the recipes and list of ingredients I now
have another request that I try to figure out every time my husband and I go
to Gatlinburg, TN twice a year. It is from the original Applewood Restaurant
and the dish is actually their vegetable soup. It is tradition that we start
our long weekend at the original Applewood Restaurant in the old farmhouse
where the huge red barn where anything and everything are sold apples.
But what I would love is the recipe to their soup they serve as a first course.
Even my husband really likes it and he is a picky eater. There is no meat in
the soup and I can figure out a lot of the vegetables but I'm unable to figure
the base they use. It is a little spicy and gets the sinuses running everytime.
Every time I talk to people about Gatlinburg, TN I have found the restaurant
to be a favorite of every one that goes and they also talk about how good the
vegetable soup is.
I hope you are able to get the recipe and I will be watching for your reply and
can't wait to see if you are able to get the recipe.
Thank you
Kathy
Hi Kathy,
Since I'm not familiar with this restaurant, I'm assuming that you mean their
vegetable soup. You don't say, and their online menu just says "homemade soup"
served with each meal, although they have several different kinds of soup.
I must disappoint you. I had no success. One comment I found was that "their
vegetable soup recipe is not available to the public". People have written to
their website, hoping they might post the recipe there, apparently with no success.
Apparently, no one has been able to create a copycat recipe for it, as I had no
success finding one. Sorry.

Would like to know if you would have the recipe for the spicy red jambayala
that is serve at the Cypress Knee Cafe in the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.
Appreciate any help you can give in locating the recipe. Thanks, Robin.
Hi Robin,
Sorry, that recipe does not appear to be available.

I'm from New Orleans, and while I've never had the Jambalaya at the Zoo, this
looks like a good "Red" or "Creole" Jambalaya, probably very similar to the
Zoo's version that Craig seeks. And the recipes from the Gumbo Pages are authentic
and tasty.

Subject: Chicken Thigh Recipe
I am looking for a recipe that my mother-in-law used to make when my husband was a teenager.
Below, I am listing the ingredients that I remember. I am not sure if I have all of them,
nor am I sure of the quantities or method.
Ingredients:
Chicken Thighs
Can of Chicken Gumbo Soup
Dry Onion Soup Mix
Dry Rice
Water
If you could locate this recipe, I would greatly appreciate it.
Lynne
Hi Lynne,
Sorry, I had no success. I'll post it on my site, hoping that a reader can help.
It would be helpful to know the exact name of the recipe and/or the original source.

James sent this recipe:
I have the the chicken thighs and rice recipe that was requested, except the recipe
uses any pieces of chicken you like...;.leven a whole cutup chicken. I think the
recipe came originally from either Campbell's soup or maybe even Lipton. It must
have come from a can or box since I handwrote the recipe onto paper. Otherwise,
I would have simply filed it. At any rate it is just a variation of dozens of chicken
and rice recipes that are posted and in cookbooks such as Bell's Best, published by
the Telephone Pioneers.
Chicken and Rice Casserole
1/2 stick butter
1 cup uncooked rice
1 medium fryer, cut up (or any chicken pieces you refer)
1 envelope Lipton's dry onion soup mix
1 can Campbell's Chicken Gumbo Soup
1 1/2 soup cans water
Melt butter in baking dish, put rice over butter and arrange chicken pieces over rice.
Sprinkle with onion soup mix. Mix soup with water and pour over casserole. Cover tightly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Serves six. Note: Do not peek. This will release
steam and you will end up with not enough liquids. This will give you two cups cooked rice.
If you need more rice, add one cup and another can of soup and 1 cup water. You now have
four cups rice.

Hi Katherine,
I cannot find anything at all like that using pastina. Pastina are tiny
pieces of pasta, the smallest produced, and are used in soups. It seems out
of place to use them in a roll such as you describe.
Perhaps you would be interested in a pasta roll recipe. See these sites:
