Before I go to bed

The Good Luck Soup turned out to be all kinds of awesome. Yum. I made the following changes to the recipe:

• I sauteed the vegetables in olive oil until soft and beginning to brown, before adding the stock and the beans.
• I didn't have dried chilies so I used cayenne instead, about a teaspoon's worth.
• I certainly didn't add any extra salt - it was salty enough from the ham hock.

Note to self: your money is in stitches.
