Something I make a lot of over the winter. Mostly the usual kind like lentil, scotch broth or just veg. Now I am having a go at adding chillie, garlic, beans, peppers and tomato. Sometimes pasta too. What other kinds of soup do people make ?
-
I made my first Borscht last weekend; tasty enough, and astonishing colour! Golden stilton is a firm favorite here. And spicy parsnip.
-
Chicken with tarragon and lemon is my very favourite. Tuscan Bean as well.
-
I love soup and there are always leftovers which get frozen and the next time I make soup my husband asks why i'm making more when the freezer is full of the stuff!
My absolute favourite is homemade mushroom soup, broccoli and cheddar and cauliflower and bacon, yum!
-
If we've had a tasty stew, any kind, whatever is left over has something like a tin of chopped tomatoes, or fresh or frozen ones, added, then reheated, whizzed with the mixy stick and hey presto, tasty, meaty soup. Otherwise I might make vegetable soup with whatever is available, or squash soup with bacon, or potato and leek, or carrot and cooking apple. The leftovers from my oh so tasty bean and hogget stew from a few days ago are now frozen so I can convert them into soup when it's too late in the day to make some from scratch. I find that if I don't use the frozen leftovers within a couple of weeks then they end up unused.
I agree that soup is a wonderful dish :yum: and so easy to make.

Just finished a panful of pea and ham which I make a lot of. Also like lentil and tomato, carrot and coriander, borscht, vegetable and chicken and vegetable. I also love Oxtail except it's nearly impossible to buy oxtails now.
-
I bought an oxtail from the butcher who chops our hogget. A lot of work to make the soup, picking little bits of meat from the bones, then I wasn't impressed with the flavour (probably the cook's fault :eyelashes: ).
There was a whodunnit I read where the murder weapon was a frozen oxtail, which was promptly cooked and eaten to remove the evidence. The tail bones in the dustbin were the clue to solving the crime ;D

Soups are ourbspeciality! In our (Polish) culture dinner means soup (as starter), main and dessert. Therefore we have a lot of soups.
-rosó? - clear chicken soup
-barszcz - betroot soup with its many forms, I.e. Christmas version is clear with little dumplings. Easter version is with roast meat (cut in small poeces), boiled egg, white curd cheese and sour cream. The "ukrainian" version is with broad beans and some other stuff
-krupnik - pearl barley soup
-mushroom soup
-tomato soup - eaten either with pasta or rice
There's plenty more :thinking:
-
Ah, now I’m all nostalgic for soups with a name and a recipe.
With 30 of us, soups here are all-the-leftovers-and-veg-that-need-eating whizzed up :). Always different and pretty much always tasty. But all unrepeatable! :D.
-
When i was a youngster my mum always had a muslin bag of dried ceps hanging over the central heating boiler. Staple winter soup was potato and cep with addition from the stock-pot and any leftover meat bits or veggie chucked in.
-
Just remember when my children were children years ago and we were very hard up, we always had a chicken on Sunday and again on Monday, then I would take the little bits of meat off the bones to make poultryman's pie for Tuesday and boil up the carcass. After that I would add any left over veg and boil it all up every day. On Saturday, our dinner (as in main meal) was a big bowl of soup, which was pretty thick by then, grated cheese over the top and crusty bread. It was the meal that no one ever complained about other than my daughter who is vegetarian and has been since she was five.
-
We grow borlotti which I like using to make pasta de fagioli
Lots of leek and potato, too
-
Does anyone have good recipe for a pumpkin soup (or pie or whatever)?
I still have three large winter squashes (probably around 5 kg each) on top of my fridge. Don't really know what do do with them any more!
-
I would roast the pumpkin with garlic and rosemary then stick it in a pan with some stock for a bit then whizz. Maybe add a bit of cream depending on personal preference.
-
As above :). Add a bit of ginger or cardomum or chilli if you want a bit of a bite.
-
To pumpkin soup, try adding a cooking apple and a well cooked carrot, for a fresh taste and a deeper colour :hungry:
Curry spices go well.
-
I love soups,easy to make and doesn't result in a lot of dirty dishes.
Yesterday I ate sausage and cabbage soup, and a few days ago I ate potato and leek soup (food from the gods). But I often make Pappa al pomodoro, Tuscan bread soup, a perfect way to use stale bread.

Oooh, interested in the recipe for that, if you have time?

I use this recipe: https://www.in-italia.se/newst_390.asp (https://www.in-italia.se/newst_390.asp) Google translate will be funny as pappa in swedish means daddy. ;)

I tried curried carrot recently, and found as tasty as spicy parsnip. An apple or two was in it too, rather like Fleecewife's pumpkin soup above. The flavours really work together.
