Duplicated I am obviously having trouble learning how to make posts.

Jyotishvarii,
 
Please, just John, not Mr stuff.
 
About names, do you know what yours means. Beautiful title and responsibility in any language.
 
You are probably wanting something not nuked with a microwave or a furnace if I read you right. Got several fresh approaches I can share with the collective.
 
Seems you tolerated the yogurt addition so you are probably not one of them vegan heathens.
 
Think I might have posted a bullet proof recipe for live yogurt culture. More cool than cool even if nobody noticed or responded. Will look back through my rampages here and will offer again if missing.

Found the link to the Essene documents...

And there was me thinking it was just soup.......

Paulo, you are correct.  Until the young lady dived into the frolic and opened up a can of lettuce, it was just about soup...

Opened up a can of lettuce  Very cute John
Young lady  My remarks misled  My kids are in their 30's and husband hard working out of retirement doing what he does best fixing one of their cars  Both in our later 60s
I am quite old quite gray quite retired quite at peace
Aware of the meaning of half my name  Jyoti that eternal internal illumination I have to live with daily as a strict discipline   Ishvara the controlling point witnessing Light  This part I comprehend in theory only
 
It is a good thing that the Essene writings are available for download and that you provided a link 
I am still searching for your yogurt making process

Beer and yogurt and peanut butter and tortilla chip crumb soup.
 
Delicious full bodied and hearty soup just like grandma used to make!!
 
Cheap thrills right out of the Walmart food section.
 
Best made in a traditional gallon size crock pot.
 
Combine 2 or 3 bags of assorted frozen vegetables, 2 or 3 cans cooked beans if you don’t go the higher road and sprout your own first.
 
Add the following:
 
One can tomato paste
1/3 cup chunky peanut butter (real stuff like Adam’s, not the Jiff or Skippy crap)
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
1/2 can beer (use the American pale variety. Pabst the beer of choice)
4 tablespoons applesauce
1 cup tortilla chip crumbs
2 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar
Heaping teaspoon curry powder
Heaping teaspoon mild chili pepper
Heaping teaspoon oregano
Heaping teaspoon Basil
1 to 2 heaping teaspoons grated fresh ginger
Level teaspoon turmeric powder
¼ cup salted sunflower seeds, or mixed nuts.
 
Grate or chop and fresh vegetables needed to fill the crock pot to 1 inch below the top.
 
Add water to then just barely cover the mix.
 
Salt to taste. Stir in the salt and test taste again for adjustment.
 
Let the crock pot fire away on hi for several hours until you can smell the soup. Stir occasionally to keep the cooking heat circulating. Crock pots have hot spots. By the time the scent of the soup pervades the house, it can be eaten, but more cooking time is usually needed.
 
Now to reveal the greatest cooking secret for soups…
 
When about cooked, remove 3 cups or more of the solid parts and blend them in a food blender. Pour the blended contents back into the crock pot. This thickens the consistency in a nice way.
 
After putting the blended part back in, let the soup cook again for awhile, stirring now and then.
 
Transfer the soup to half quart mason jars, letting them cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. Will last for months until needed. The gallon crock pot makes for 5 mason jars and then enough for a meal or two left.

sounds like a giant fart in the making.

Bat, better there than here.
 
Jyotishvarii, diet, name, discipline, avatar. Makes sense now where you are coming from.
 
Don't know if you got a proper welcome to the forums. As I remember you were looking for help with video and audio sync for some tutorial projects. Did you ever got that resolved?
 
Gentlemen, we have inherited one classy lady. I hope you will hang out with us barbarians for awhile longer.
 
John

I'll join in welcoming Jyotishvarii to this forum, and Coffee House.
I have no recipes to share though
All the best.

Gentlemen the welcome is more nourishing than any physical recipe could ever be  I thank you for your warmth
Audio and video managing is nicely resolved with a little help from my friends here
