Unless you count Ramen, I don't think I've ever had soup. At all. Canned or homemade.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Is that possible?!
Posted by foundling (Member # 6348) on :
Good god! How old are you!!??? And do you live in East Angolia? There are spiritual prohibitions against soup there. Or so I've heard.

Mercy!

Here you go, Uheeuh -
Mack? Like a bowl? It's really delightful -
Posted by Uhleeuh (Member # 6803) on :
Thank you, Shan.
But I don't want to steal this thread so I'll start a new thread about foods I haven't had. Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
My favorite two soups would be Tom Yum Seafood and Mutton Pepper Soup. Yum yum yum.
Unfortunatley, I don't know how to make either one. Only ever had them at restaurants. Will have to hunt down recipes and experiment.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
Dunno, shan. Whenever I have homemade soup, I get the bone.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
You'll never get over that, will ya, mack? I SWEAR there are no bones in this concoction . . . trust me!
Posted by Papa Moose (Member # 1992) on :
Mmmm... good soup.
Of course, it would be better with scallops.

And how does Mama Squirrel feel about scallops?
(ew scallops. ew ew ew)

What's beef soup?

Does someone want some of my delicious vegetables and feta tart ?
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Uhleeuh, if I ever meet you in person, I'm making you genuine Jewish chicken soup!
I'd like some, Shan.
(edit: Mmm Anna... yes please! )

The Best Soup: Soup Paysanne (c'est francais!)
I just had it yesterday. Potatoes, Spinach, vegetable stock base, bacon, all whizzed up together in a blender.
It was DELICIOUS.
Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :
Italian wedding soup is my fav. There's just something about those little meatballs. Yeah, I'm still five at heart.
But beef stew. Mmmm. My dad moved to Washington State to do contract work at the plant up there. It'll be a few years before I have his takes-a-week-to-make unspeakably good beef stew again. (I'm certainly not going to that much trouble for something Chet won't even eat. Dinty Moore it is.)
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
My favorite soup is sopa de albondigas. Especially with homemade tortillas.
I cook it all the time in winter, even though it's time-consuming.

For me, it's sopa conde, which I learned of in Oaxaca. It's a thick brown bean soup that you eat with fried tortilla strips, fresh tomatoes and avacados, and stringy Oaxaca cheese....
..mmmm....
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
That sounds really yummy.

Ick! Alt, there about 2,000 mg of sodium in one can. That's enough salt for two days.
I've stopped cooking with it. Now I get organic Portabello or Potato Leek soups. They only have around 350 mg of salt.
Save your heart. Go low sodium.
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
Wow! one source of sodium in my diet. i don't take much of it in. Its still the best thing in the world though(the soup).
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I thought that sodium hadn't been linked conclusively to heart disease.
Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :
It seems to raise blood pressure. It puts extra stress on the heart. Not a big deal once in a while, but certainly not something you want to do very often.
Glad to hear it's an occasional vice, Alt. You should try the portabello soup, though. I like it better.
Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :
Mmmm, I love potato leek soup. It is even pretty good in the crock pot, where I have to do more of my cooking these days.
But today I am making a pizza ina covered baking pan, sticking it in the fridge and whover gets home first puts it in the oven.
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
I'd like to ask something: how often do you people have soup? Because in Romania it's normal to have soup as a first course at every lunch. It's one of the things I missed when going to France and eating at the university's restaurants. I started buying instant soup, but of course it's nothing like the soup my mother makes at home... This reminds me that I'm going home soon and for about two weeks I'll have whatever food I want! Yay me!
Edit: Now I'm hungry... Have to go home and eat something...

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
Well, dudette, I do cook, but not soup. I'd love to learn how to make some soups, though. It's just that it takes quite a while to prepare one and I don't usually have that much time on my hands... You know, with Hatrack going on and all... Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
well, dude. there are things called books. read em. Besides, soups aren't that hard to make. it takes me less than fifteen minutes to have mine.

Exercise raises blood pressure. Definitely something you want to do often. Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
*giggles again*
Soup is a winter speciality around here - generally consisting of throwing everything I can find into the crockpot, adding some water and a few seasonings, and then enjoying for the next week.
Prep time: 15 minutes tops.
Crock pot cook time: on high, 4 hours
Stovetop cooktime: 1 hour
Things to serve with soup include delightful items like:
sharp Tillamook cheese slices biscuits green salad fruit slices
etc.
Nummy. Nummy. Nummy.
Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
Corwin, when you'll have your own appartment, use my technique : cook in big quantities, froze, and then, defroze whenever you want. It doesn't take more time to cook big than little quantities, and that way, even when you don't have any time to cook, you eat good things and you know what you eat (how much salt etc).

Did you know crockpots can blow up? Well, I guess the lid imploded really. I was making a pot of chili. It had only been cooking maybe 30 or 45 minutes when the lid went 'pop'. I got up to look and the glass lid (that came with the crockpot) was in pieces in my chili. Only a couple of small pieces landed on the floor, although Chet managed to find one with his foot. *sigh*

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I make home-made stock and use my 2 crockpots (yes, I have 2, I'm a crockpot freak; sometimes I borrow another one, and make a meat/veggie dish in one, potatoes in the other, and dessert in the third) to reduce. Then it goes in the freezer (I want a pressure canner!!!) and I use it to make soup until the freezer bags with stock ingredients are full again, which is usually right around the time I run out of frozen stock.

Oh ketchupqueen that sounds so wonderfully organised! I keep trying to save scraps for stock but always end up throwing them out because there's not enough to bother freezing.
Do you have any kind of special bag for your stock ingredients, or just keep untying and retying the same bag in the freezer?
I am determined to adopt your method.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
No no no no no no no no no. . . .
If you're going to share recipes, can't'cha do it here? So the rest of us can benefit? I mean, seriously. . . Puh-leeze?????? Posted by Anna (Member # 2582) on :
Then let's start a thread with our favourite recipes ! After that we'll make a book of it by reorganizing it by type. We'll call that " The Best of Hatrack Food" and we'll be rich. Or not.

That Nathan is one lucky kid.
Speaking of exploding pots, wasn't there a thread recently about a guy getting killed by something that exploded in his microwave?
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Tell him that . . .
I like the idea of a recipe thread - nummy . . .
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
There is a recipe thread. quidscribis started one...
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
vwiggin - it was an exploding lava lamp. And I thought it was on his stove top? I could be mistaken, though.
Yep, I started a recipe thread. I thought it was a good idea, so I took it upon myself to. . . er, I hope that was okay?
I'm also in the process of updating/desiging/redesigning my own recipe pages, and once I have that done, I'll post the url to that here, too. With some - although most definitely not all! - of my favorite recipes on it.
