Title: Soup Secrets Post by Sprintcyclist on Sep 11th, 2015 at 4:10pm
A few years ago I got into making soups.
Heard some interesting stuff on the wireless about making soup. My guidelines are:- 1/ Read the instructions a few times. 2/ Cut up everything required, make the vege/chicken/beef stock. 3/ Turn the big soup pot with glass lid onto about 1/2, 3/4 heat. 4/ Do the first cooking to make the base on a highish heat. Normally onions, garlic, spices, maybe root veges. 5/ When you add the stock and bulk of the soup reduce heat to very low. 6/ We want it lower than simmering. We want it to sweat. No boiling at all. Not even one bubble. Steam wafting off at the most. I turn the pot off for some time, then back onto very low for a wee while, then off again. It's pretty good. A good soup takes over an hour. |

You can buy this stuff that has salt, msg and dehydrated vegetables in it in powder form.
Considering vegetables are like 90% water or something, you can imagine the flavours you get out of 3 table spoons in 750mL of water. Then you can add what you want for chewing. Such as undehydrated vegetables. Or meat. On a cold day it's good with a teaspoon in a coffee mug and boiling water. |

What was that you were saying about sarcasm? Well, anyway I think good soup is what is left the next day.

we never eat our soups or stews etc on the same day that we cook them... at least give it a day... I use either our soup maker or pressure cooker to do soups... they are cooked within 30 minutes.. I don't make stock, as such.. I put in the ingredients.. sprinkle the stock and spices on top before adding the water to flush the stocks and spices into the mix... :) |
Title: Re: Soup Secrets Post by Sprintcyclist on Sep 12th, 2015 at 10:53am A soup maker ? What's that, never heard of one of those. We have a pressure cooker here. Pretty good aren't they. I find it a bit 'touchy' on the timing. But then I have not used it very much. Guess I am an old fashioned cook |
