Notes
This recipe came largely unaltered from Heroes' Feast (Dungeons & Dragons): The Official D&D Cookbook. In keeping aligned with our Quest, we chose not to list the exact instructions here in order to promote purchasing from the original creators. Here we give a list of ingredients and a diary of what we experienced, learned, and did differently from the recipe. Get the ingredients and follow the video to experiment and make your own version of the recipe, or buy the book from our above affiliate link to support the authors and us at the same time!
Firstly, our Nutribullet blender is definitely a rather dangerous tool for a hot recipe like this. The expanding gases of the hot food being blended made the lid nearly explode off when unscrewing. We definitely advise using a full sized, loosely capped blender, or an immersion blender.
The recipe calls for just a handful of bacon strips but we at the Everhearth Inn believe the only good strip of bacon is one you're chewing, so each adventurer got 2 strips with their serving.
Lastly, this soup is very similar to really good mashed potatoes, and thus pairs well with any typical mashed potato topping. Sour cream, cheese, more bacon, chives, and even a dash of some barbecue sauce or ketchup. It's a really versatile recipe that can stand on its own or compliment something greater.
Thanks for stopping by the Everhearth Inn Kitchen! Happy adventuring and remember you will always be welcome here!
