The Soup Topic (2013–)

[suzilightning]

wow....6 months or so later and onion soup is on the stove for dinner later.  garlic bread to toast.

[kayb]

First meal in four days -- I've been in the grips of a nasty stomach virus. Home-canned tomato soup (actually left over from last summer), with a grilled cheese sandwich and pickles. So far, the stomach is accepting it moderately well. I may venture further into solid food tonight.

 

 

We had butternut squash and apple soup the other evening, first cool night of the fall. Very good.

[FrogPrincesse]

Roasted butternut squash soup with ras el hanout and baratte/churned butter. There is also a bit of heavy cream in there.

Awesome but unrepeatable soup. In  an effort to avoid food waste I took the produce that I might have consigned to the garbage bin and produced this.  Although the carrots, parsnips and an apple had definitely seen better days they were still quite edible.  I roasted the carrots and parsnips until they took on a bit of color then threw them into the Instant Pot along with the peeled, cored and quartered apple, a thumb size piece of ginger peeled and cut into coins, a couple of smashed garlic cloves and some highly seasoned chicken broth that was taking up room in my freezer.   My inspiration came from a similar recipe on Food 52.

Some time ago, jacques Pepin did a show with is daughter Claudine.

 

more o\r less this one :
 

Cooking With Claudine (Jacques Pepin's Kitchen)

 

there may have been two seasons

 

on one show, JP took the theoretical contents of a College Persons refrigerator, bound for the Dumpster

 

and showed how to trim the Mass up and indeed make a delicious soup.

 

when you first saw the stuff you thought  Yuk

 

then  JP showed you what to do

Along the same line, my mother (a child of the Depression, who abhorred food waste) used to keep a gallon ice cream bucket in the freezer. Dibs and dabs of leftover veggies from dinner always got scraped into the bucket. When it got full, it was time to make vegetable soup.

 

If I had any freezer room, I'd do that. One of my resolutions, if I made New Year's resolutions any more, should be to clean out the damn freezer. There's stuff in there old enough to vote.

Minestrone soup

Beans, tomatoes, cauliflower, carrot, parsley root, leeks, onion, mushrooms and a little cabbage. Spiced with rosemary, basil, a bit of oregano and enough black pepper to make it chili-hot

The one thing that truly "makes" this soup is a large amount of cheese rinds, collected all summer long and kept frozen just for this soup. I simmer the rinds and add the flavorful water to the soup, it gives so much savoriness and a sharp edge. Also some grated Parmesan on top just to glide the lily.

 

I also toast the pasta in the oven, which gives it a nutty flavor and prevents it from soaking too much water, so it can be left in the soup overnight.

 

 

This weekend I'm going to make French tourin soup, with garlic and eggs.

Tourin blanchi - Soup made with sauteed onions, baked garlic, thyme, a little roux, black pepper, white wine vinegar and eggs. The soup base is an all purpose vegan stock, but chicken stock will probably work just as good, if not better. It has a wonderfully smooth and creamy, yet light texture and a mild garlicky custard flavor. Served with chives and mutli-grain bread croutons (not pictured - didn't wan't them to turn soggy while I take photos).

I posted in the dinner thread about an attempted Pho Bo where the stock was gelatinous but tasteless. 
Yesterday I defrosted the gbt stock, added a raw chicken carcass and some wing tips from the freezer, the cooked turkey carcass from Christmas lunch, a carrot, an onion, some celery stalks, slices of ginger and galangal. Simmered two hours, and voilà, tasty stock.

 

It became a simple Asian style chicken, egg and corn soup. 
Snipped garlic chives and sliced spring onions to garnish.

 

[ninagluck]

the pic is not very appealing, but the soup is: spicy red onion soup

[heidih]

It is freezing here so crock pot soup in process. A very very loose Ash reshteh. The onion and garlic, and a box of button mushrooms were oiled (olive) and pre-browned in the oven and the tumeric and hint of cumin added at the end to not leave them raw in the liquid. I tucked in an ancho chile (dried pasilla) and a single star anise wing. For the legume I am using plain old brown lentils. Some pre-softened carrots for sweetness. I prefer it with just spinach adding fresh herbs when ready to eat in each bowl. My cooking tradition always cooks the noodles separately and with this quantity I definitely did not want wheat based pasta. I actually enjoy/crave the texture of shirataki so I added a packet of the tofu ones in a tubular shape. Smells great now, but I have several hours before it is ready and it is always better after sitting overnight. Oops and some tamarind water just cuz the huge bag of pods fell out of  the cupboard

Kinda hard to make this look good, but the soup was superb !

 

French onion soup. It was just red and brown onions sweated in butter, a good beef stock, splash of brandy, splash of port and a bouquet garni. Sourdough bread with Swiss cheese on top.

Made this chicken soup in my Instant Pot at work yesterday - https://forums.egullet.org/topic/152484-instant-pot-at-work-a-little-help-please/?do=findComment&comment=2040844

I have 16 oz of baby Bella mushrooms that need to be used ASAP or tossed (which makes me nuts to think about throwing out food). Anyone have a soup recipe they would recommend? I don't have heavy cream on hand although I suppose I could go out and get it. I have shallots, onions, a myriad of spices, 1% milk! sour cream, wine, etc. I'm just looking for something easy even if it means going to the supermarket. 

 

Thanks in advance! I might make mushroom Swiss burgers tomorrow if I can't find a way to make the mushrooms into a soup, but with this startlingly cold weather here, I'd love a soup. 

[Katie Meadow]

My next door neighbor gives me bones! After Thanksgiving they dropped off a turkey carcass (with a lot of meat still on) and last week they offered me a large ham bone from xmas (also with a lot of extra meat). From the first I made turkey stock, and froze it. From the second I made ham stock. Yesterday with the ham stock I cooked up a pot of Yellow Eye beans. Then today I used the turkey stock to make a soup that was kind of a mash up of farro soup and Ribolita w/out the bread. I cooked the farro separately in diluted turkey stock, then made a soup with leeks, carrots, fennel, Italian tomatoes, turkey stock and Lacinato kale. Finally I added in the beans. The soup was served with the farro added as well and a dusting of pecorino. I gave my neighbors a couple of quarts of soup w/farro and a hunk of cheese to go with. My husband and I had soup for dinner and I still have plenty left for tomorrow. Very nice soup, and my first time cooking farro, of which I am now a fan. My neighbor was thrilled to hear that the beans were cooked with stock from his ham bone (true) and stock from his turkey (maybe true, since I had a second batch of frozen turkey stock from my own carcass and can't tell them apart) but no reason to ruin the story. S'all good, man.

Thanks, that is easy and sounds delicious. I did use the shrooms for mushroom Swiss burgers tonight but will definitely try that ASAP. I could probably use a stick blender instead right?

[Okanagancook]

A stick blender would work but if you wanted it super smooth you may consider straining also.  Enjoy, the sherry really makes it and it is very easy to make.

[suzilightning]

Snow is falling....hard to believe less than a week ago I was in the Caribbean...well actually going through the edge of that "rare January hurricane" in the Atlantic.

Assembling a mix of vegetables - onion, leek, carrots, garlic, butternut squash, vege stock, I also have red lentils , black, white or garbanzo beans, ditilini..........

some sort of minestrone in the future.
