I would back this vote, though not right now; I think of this as being a spring soup, and not the thick, hearty stuff we need while in the grip of February.
I should clarify. All those are the ingredients going into the soup. After one or two servings, I have no room for anything else - except for another glass of Malbec or Xinomavro.
Shred some carrots for color, add some caraway seeds and substitute some whipping cream instead of milk. Great for cold winter days. Don’t forget the crusty bread for sopping. Yum!❤️🏄♀️
Oyster crackers, of course; also a chopped up sweet pickle, or two if they're small, per my dad's addition years ago. Sounds weird, I know but cuts the richness.
Yes, that's right and they are lower in carbs.. Sweet potatoes are 24 carbs. for one whole potato and a regular potato is 25 carbs..
Hi Leah
A great poll. I've chosen hearty vegetableand lentil with tomato. I also love cream of carrot and parsnip soup and cream of tomato. All my soups are homemade.😋😋
It's not easy and the only shop I've found it in is Waitrose. I started to make it as I have IBS and it was a game changer for me. Thank you, it's easy to make.
Well the cream of carrot and parsnip soup I'd have every day as I love it but I have it around once a week. The cream of tomato soup again about once a week and I need to make the veggie one. I've printed off a recipe for a broccoli soup and can't wait to try it.😋😋
Vegetables diced softened in olive oil. Tinned tomatoes and beans,pesto tomato paste stock cubes and herbs.Normally garlic too but my wife has an allergy to that.
Slice of whole grain bread with butter on it, sometimes we have it toasted. The broth is full of dried grains and pulses, with all the veg and stock from the meat so it is very filling you need very little else. We make and freeze the soup on Boxing Day or Day after. It lasts through the winter. Carrot, Potato, Parsnips, Sweet Potato, Swede, and whatever we have left after Christmas, including the Turkey Stock. We stew the bones to get more stock.
Sometimes we make just a thick veg soup, with stock all made at home. We freeze that and store it as well. Both soups thicken when stored. Sometimes we use a Scots broth dried mix or we mix them out. We cook up a Ham or Bacon Joint to get the stock and some meat, the same applies, most of it ends in the Freezer
No worries! It isn’t the first time that the pictures didn’t show up. Hidden and springcross had the same issue when posting pictures for a poll. Would you like to try posting it as a posting?😀👍🌈
I tend to make 'My Own' soups and have a Fair Range. Chicken & Vegetable, Watercress & Leak (or onion, if no leaks available), Leak & Potato, Mushroom (sometimes with 'other' things to) or Tomato. I have also 'Experimented' with Chowder, and had some success. Golden vegetable, which has more 'Root' vegetables than 'Hearty', is also a Good one.
Then there are the 'Whatever I Had In The Fridge' soups, some 'interesting' combinations there...... most, quite good😀, a few erm 😖- or even 😬....🤢 (in the extreme!)
One 'Tip'.... be careful 'how much, Chilli you put in 🥵- a Good way, to tell, If you can Actually Hear the bowl dissolving......!
I had moved house, my sisters had put them in the back of one of my cupboards, you know the sort, boiling water, powder from a bag, quick but insipid, [but very easy to lose in a cupboard which I did not use for at least ten years?] I have been in the house for eighteen years, a bits and pieces cupboard? Did not check for use by date? Health and Safety! Health and Safety!🙄🙄👍
It's okay! Health and safety is something to be careful about always. It's not easy when others put things away for you since you don't know when/where they came from and if they are okay to be used.
Its like a certain sister, whom you have not seen for years, washes and dries your dishes, especially your cutlery, then you find some weeks later, "What are they doing there??" That sort of thing?🙃🙄🙄👍
I like cream of tomato and cream of chicken, any with veg in I have to puree before I can eat, I do tend to stick a handful of fine egg noodles in the cream of chicken. My favourite ever I had in Fiji, it was a dahl soup, completely pureed and slightly spicy. Heaven with freshly baked white rolls.
Yummy! I had mushroom soup recently, but it was pureed even though I didn't think it was supposed to be that way. It was in a big carton and it never said anything about being pureed.
That sounds really good! I was hoping to get some celery, but my mom isn't a big fan of celery. Will have to try and get a soup sometime after the virus gets better under control and get some at a restaurant in the next few months. Thanks!
We make most of own soups, usually from leftovers. We have bottom of the fridge soup, using up whatever is left before veg delivery day. If we have roast chicken, we turn the frame and leftovers into a warm spicy chicken and noodle soup.
I tend to use whatever vegetables I have around. Vegetable and lentil or pearl barley, leek and potato, carrot and coriander, parsnip and ginger, tomato, broccoli and cheddar.
I love soups, and make soups out off just about anything. But my favourite is chicken soup. Cures everything. At least that is what my mother used to say.
My favourite soup is Italian tomato with basil soup. It’s so tasty. I also love a Thai vegetable soup as it has sweet potato, coriander and noodles in it.
I only have tomato soup and I have to be unwell for this or freezing cold, I then grate some cheese into it and although I am 55 years of age I make toast soldiers so I can dip them into it. this cheers me up
I like the idea of toast soldiers for soup. I will suggest it to my mom for when we have my Nephew and Niece here for the day next week when we have soup. That's a great idea for a Thursday cooking class.
Seeing the Lentil & Tomato soup on the list, reminded me I haven’t made it for some years. I have the tinned tomatoes, red onions, and red lentils in stock so might be making that in the next few weeks. The soups I make most often in the winter, are fresh mushroom soup with a touch of single cream. 2nd winter soup = sweet potato/ butternut & red pepper, (the butternut/ sweet potato comes in a packet all ready peeled & chopped into small cubes ) this soup also contains soft light cheese added towards the end before serving.
Sounds fantastic to me! I love chicken for a soup or even on the side with another type of soup. Really good!
I'm not the biggest soup lover, but occasionally I enjoy curried pumpkin soup, cheese and cauliflower/broccoli, French onion and what Rachel Ray (the TV chef) used to call a stewp which is almost a stew. If it's a thinner soup with no 'bits' of its own, then I must have some croutons in it too!
Wow! This sounds fantastic and gives me some ideas, too! We haven't had a soup in a while that was like a stew, so I will have to see when that can be done. Great idea!
I do that sometimes when we can get chicken. I use rice and other items for soups if I don't feel well-- or want a change/substitute for certain items.
I like all those things, but because of the potassium, I can't have bananas. Everything else I can have for peanut butter and gluten free bread sandwiches.
I cook everything from scratch I have to as I’m gluten and lactose intolerant but I prefer home cooked old fashioned meals but then I have the bad stuff after lol
The soup I only do once a week because over lockdown I have started making a better variety of food. I now love Stir Frye and I try to do a new dish a couple of times a month. Also, now we are in winter I like to try warming old fashioned standbys like Casseroles and pies. Not many potatoes nowadays.
