A Recipe from Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977).

American Pie - It’s an apple pie made with shortcuts. It was fine.  A nice way to make a pie if you don’t have the energy to go from scratch, but you have more energy than to just throw a frozen one in the oven.

Tuna Muffin Pies - These were absolutely nasty and a pain in the ass to make.  Don’t do it to yourself.

Blueberry Sundae - I was so sceptical of this.  I didn’t know what the effect of rapid cooling would be on jelly crystals (I used agar agar, not gelatin).  The end result was really good. This was a fun and easy dessert.  I think kids would particularly like this, and you could use whatever flavor you like.

Veal and Noodles - A very beige meal today from Stan Lee.  I did make a couple of changes.  I don’t eat meat, and if I did, I wouldn’t eat Veal, so we used a vegetarian schnitzel that I cut up.  And I used canned whole mushrooms, not sliced.  I wasn’t very optimistic with this one, but it actually tasted pretty good.  I specifically thought I wouldn’t like the tinned mushrooms, but I did.  I would change things more if I made it again; it is very beige and could use some more complex flavors, but it was decent as is.

Beef Pie - This wasn’t great.  I think the soup you choose matters, and the onion helps in a way, but it’s a really weird way to serve canned soup, and I don’t think making the soup from scratch would even save this.

Iron Man’s Splendid Split Pea Soup

This is one of the recipes that is almost literally heat up a can of soup and serve it.  Yeah okay, there’s another can of something else in it, but it’s not really a ‘recipe’.  I had this idea I’d make it exactly as described, and then also from scratch.

As described was fine.  The lima beans detracted from what was actually an okay canned soup, so really, just eat the can of soup if that’s what you want.

The from scratch version was amazing, the lima beans really added something nice to the recipe.  It really wasn’t that much work either.  Yeah, a lot more than just heating up a can, but if you want the lima beans, go to the effort.

Recipe for from scratch under the cut.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

2 large onions, chopped

1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

2 cups dried split green peas, picked over and rinsed

5 cups chicken or vegetable stock (more may be needed at end)

1 can of Lima Beans

juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons of smoked paprika

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 teaspoon of Thyme

More salt to taste

Directions

Add olive oil to a big pot over med-high heat. Stir in onions and salt and cook until the onions soften, just a minute or two. Add the split peas and water. Bring to a boil, dial down the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the peas are cooked through (but still a touch al dente).

Using a hand blender (or regular blender) puree the soup that is still remaining in the pot. If you need to thin the soup out with more water (or stock) do so a bit at a time there are times I need to add up to 3 1/2 cups extra.

Stir in the lemon juice, lima beans, paprika, thyme, and pepper, and taste. If the soup needs more salt (likely), add more a bit at a time until the flavor of the soup really pops.

Two recipes from Stan Lee Presents: The Mighty Marvel Superheroes’ Cookbook (1977).

Steak Kabobs - Given that part of the recipe here was ‘your favorite marinade’, they were really good.  I did a peri-peri marinade and it was really good.  Particularly the potatoes. Vegetable Rice - This was bad.  Not inedible, but not enjoyable either.
