new use for old product

i had an amazing discovery today that i just had to share. a few years ago i purchased a 50lb sack of tvp, that's textured vegetable protein for those who have not heard of it, and have been slowly using it. it comes in many forms and i selected the 'chicken' because it sounded fun. unfortunately it has a funny texture and so we do not use it much. today i was making vichyssoise and decided to add a little tvp to the potatoes while they cooked. vichyssoise is a blended soup and so into the blender went the tvp, right along with the potatoes. the result was wonderful. i now know what to do with the other 30lbs in the garage. i can make 'ground meat' now and use it in recipes. maybe i can even disguise it in such a way that joshua does not notice. all you do is heat it with what ever flavor broth you want it to taste like: chicken, veggie, beef and then put it in a food processor or blender. i will not make the same mistake on this size next time but at least i can use up what i have.
