That soup looks great Case! Sorry I'm late.

Would you make it SV again? Seems like a lot of effort, is it worth the pay off?

I would eat a bowl of that any day.

Soup was tasty.

Probably not. I don't really see any benefit to using the sous vide for this.  Or for much really, especially when time is an issue.

I agree. It seems that people are formulating recipes to sous vide everything but alot of the recipes involve way too much time and to many steps to make it worthwhile. You don't need to sous vide everything just as you don't need to smoke everything.

Likewise:  curious in this day of instant gratification, some are opting to head the opposite direction, no matter the time involved....

Agreed.

I purchased the unit because I like to experiment. But so far I haven't found it to be useful for home cooking. The results I can get one off cooking have been better.
