Soup again

  • pointsevenout 15 years ago
    Went searching for a tomato soup that had ingredients I had on hand. Landed on Roasted Tomato Soup Recipe by clumsycook: Roasted Tomato Soup
    I even hacked up the recipe a little and it came out good.

    Singed the garlic a little too long; used dried basil instead of fresh. But ate it all down and my tummy is smiling from kidney to kidney.

    Made some acorn squash soup by Jake: Acorn Squash Soup

    Very tasty soup with a sweet touch.

    The ingredient list calls for crumbled bacon but then the destructions do not say where to use them.

    It's a minor detail. I don't think you can hurt this soup.
    Soup will stand on its own as a creamy onion and celery soup without the addition of the acorn squash.

    Made some sweet potato soup by Jake: Sweet Potato Soup
    After the good result with the acorn squash soup I thought I would give Jake's sweet potato soup a try.

    Recipe calls for one turnip. The recipe didn't set well with me. The turnip left an aftertaste for a long time. Maybe I just don't like turnips.

    Mother liked it so I granted her the honor of ownership of the rest of the pot. This evening after warming up a bowl, she decided that it wasn't the greatest soup and flushed the rest.

    Recipe by Blueeyes68ky: Hearty Potato Soup

    A potato soup with leanings toward vegetable soup. Destructions are to boil for 20 minutes. I opted to simmer for 45. Soup turns out just like the picture. Don't add the milk too slowly. The roux thickens up quite fast and you'll need all the boiling water to add back in.
    I couldn't resist using 3 large cloves of garlic.

    Doesn't deserve a photo. It is what it is. Vegetable soup. It's hot. It fills you up. Doesn't taste bad. It's a pantry cleaner.

    I always wonder when I get served vegetable soup if it's fresh vegetables or vegetables standing on one leg ready to go belly up. Use it or lose it. This has nothing to do with the soup, just my mind wandering.

    Good soup. Took a picture. Modified recipe slightly. Took recommendation to add sauteed cubed beef. Doubled the recipe.

    Added one bell pepper to the onion saute. Added one pound broken up vermacelli to the saute to brown it a little. Used beef base instead of vegetable stock since I'm using cubed beef.

    Added quite a bit of salt. Probably could have used some more liquid. It turned out more like stew than soup. The pasta sucked up a lot of the liquid.

    Recipe by Chefmeow: Tomato Orange Soup

    Tomato soup is tomato soup. This was a little spicy because of me. I was about 15oz shy of having enough home made stewed tomatoes and dropped in a can of Ro-Tel diced tomato with chilies. First time I've ever used that brand name tomato product. That gave it a little heat component that the pepper and hot sauce just added to it. So it was a spicy tomato soup.

    Couldn't taste any breath of the orange juice component. That's what drew me to this recipe in the first p;lace. Because of that I added a cup of heavy cream to try to silk it out a little.

    Soup or chowder, soup or chowder, soup or chowder. It's thin enough to be a soup. Needs more thickener to be a chowder. Flavor's there. Let salt be your friend. Plenty of potatoes in here to suck it up.
    Destructions are a little unclear and open to interpretation.
    Sauteed onions in 2 T butter and a little olive oil then added ham.
    Potatoes are pre-simmered and all liquids are pre-warmed.
    Could use 3 cups warmed milk then 1 cup heavy cream for the roux. Add more butter and flour to the roux to make the recipe thicken into a chowder. And let the roux color up to a peanut butter color to add another layer of flavor to the chowder.
    Used hot potato water as the 2 cups boiling water.

    Recipe by Bcollins: Corn Chowder
    A non-standard chowder made without milk or cream. Good nonetheless.
    There is one mistake in the list of ingredients: 2 cups milk should be 2 Tablespoons milk; to mix with the 2 Tablespoons flour used as a thickener.

    And I wonder why it is milk added to the flour. It could just as easily have been a little of the chowder water blended into the flour then dumped into the pot for a thickener.

    Could it possibly be that the author meant to add 2 cups milk at the end to get the cream look of a standard chowder? And also add the flour thickener in another little bit of milk?

    Hey, pso, I think you were supposed to add 2 cups of milk. The recipe reads like this:

    # In a separate bowl, stir the flour and a little water together to form a paste.

    Made the Meatball Soup
    Teeny meatballs is awful subjective. I used a level compressed teaspoon measure to scoop out the meat mixture, then roll.

    A high acid tomato flavor with meatballs tasting like Salisbury steak.
    I'm thinking the tomato needs to be deepened to a more savory flavor. Maybe use tomato sauce instead of diced tomatoes to give more of a roasted tomato flavor and a few drops of liquid smoke.
    I like the meatballs but it sure is a hands on process. Can't imagine doubling the recipe. It depleted me making those teeny meatballs for a single recipe.
    Don't want to sound like I'm complaining too much. Soup is good the way it is but my personal preference is for a more savory flavor.

    Rice is in there although I didn't notice the first grain. There is enough liquid to up the rice to a quarter cup and still be a soup without stepping into the stew or gumbo range.
    Stir at least once during simmer.

    Doesn't the soup get greasy from the ground beef getting cooked in the broth?

    Apparently it doesn't. I hadn't thought of that. Had two bowls of it so far and haven't noticed a greasy taste.

    Creamy Tomato Soup is a very yummy tomato soup, it was savory and not too creamy. It did NOT taste like spaghetti sauce in a bowl. If I had fresh basil added a chiffonade to the top. As it was we ate it with open face gruyere cheese toasts. I did sprinkle a bit of the cheese to the hot soup and it was good.

    Many Bean Good Luck Soup by Chefmeow: Many Bean Good Luck Soup
    It's a good soup. You have to read through the recipe for mistakes.
    Says to boil for 3 hours. I think it should be simmer.
    Never says to strip out the meat from the ham hocks. I think it should.
    Says to add salt early. I think it should be added late so the beans will tenderize.
    Definitely will need more salt to season.

    Made the many bean good luck soup again. Used a short swell method. Boil for 5 minutes then rest for 2 hours. Turned out well again.

    Recipe by Winslow1204: Black Eyed Pea Soup
    A great quick soup with plenty of peas and potato to soup ratio.
    For the water I used some soup with mushrooms I baked chicken in a couple nights ago.
    I didn't know you don't have to soak black-eyed peas overnight.
