That's a bastardized Simpson's quote about television, but I thought it was appropriate in describing the loveliness of this soup on a chilly night. We had it last Tuesday when we were still in the middle of a nasty cold snap (it's in the high 70's now. . .weird weather this year). Anyway, the soup warmed us up thoroughly with it's spice and heat. I wish it was a bit more filling though, I was trying to save enough for lunches the next day, but Dan and I were both hungry after one serving. I'm sure some of it is the missing 4 ounces of squash - there were only 10 oz, instead of 12 oz, containers at the store. I would have though the tofu would fill us up. . .but no. I added a bit more chili paste in the beginning as well and thought the resulting heat was just right. I put a couple splashes of fish sauce in there too b/c I couldn't resist. The flavors were even better the next day at lunch. I'll definitely be making this again b/c it is quick and tasty. I think I'll try it with shrimp next time, I think that would be delicious.
