I have one and a half recipes to report on... you know how the lamb meatball soup turned out at our house. I made the herb drop biscuits to go with spaghetti and turkey meatballs and they were so good! I made the recipe just like it says but I also added a couple cloves of fresh garlic as well. The biscuits were a real hit! Four thumbs up!
Now for the broccoli soup and sourdough. We LOVED the soup! I added more veggies than the recipe calls for, this is because I don't use measuring cups and because I always add more veggies anyway. For the soup, I had made the starter ahead of time. The first batch of bread wasn't that good. It didn't SEEM like sourdough. The second batch I left the sponge out even longer and it was a bit more sour but still nothing special. I don't feel as committed to it as Staci, wow that was impressive (five batches in a row). I did make the soup and put it in bowls on the second batch. I divided the dough this time and made four small bowls. Andy & I had our soup in two of the bowls and then served crab dip in one of the other small loaves for a Christmas party. When we had the soup leftovers I blended a little more than half of it to make it more smooth. I liked that best. All-in-all, I liked the bread but next time I want sourdough I will go buy it at a bakery from someone who has the recipe down. We loved the soup and will certainly be making that again! Four thumbs up!
Now I am caught up, YEAH!!! Bring it on Tisha!

Rachel,
I agree, the original first bread didn"t SEEM sourdough to me either. So, I researched it and found that sourdough bread actually means a bread that is made with a starter and the "sour" taste has little to do with sourdough. I found that funny. And as a side note I have kept my starter going and it is finally getting that sourdough flavor I was hoping for. Call me crazy but I am really enjoying having the starter onhand because it makes such a quick and easy hearty loaf of bread. Just thought I'd share!
