Indulgent foods + Best Soups

Feb 17, 2010 15:14

So hi, some of you might remember I made a post in January because I had back problems and couldn't cook my own food. Well, another month of agony, 3 hours of emergency surgery and some majorly shitty hospital food later (I was given tuna salad as the 'vegan' option on THREE seperate occasions), I've had a disk removed and the back problems have ( Read more... )

-grocery lists, soups (uncategorizable), -preservation-freezing, gourmet meals

I Love Soup! lorcas_novena February 17 2010, 23:04:15 UTC

I posted the Japanese broth on here recently, that's possibly the quickest, easiest thing I've ever made. If you're recovering then perhaps add very little chilli but loads of fresh ginger. Fresh ginger is so delicious grated in broth.

I have tried and tested recipes for the following if you fancy any of them:

Carrot and Coriander (personal favourite)
Spicy Parsnip
Spiced Lentil
Moroccan Chickpea
Chunky Mushroom
Spicy tiny Pasta
Tomato (with with chilli, or with gremolata or pesto)

I also love asparagus and mange tout soup but I know they're out of season so unless you can get them frozen.

So reply if you fancy any of them. I love soups.

Thanks from me too. I've never tasted harissa, but I think it's something I need to add to my repertoire.

I wonder if I can get frozen broad beans anywhere in Washington DC. I could use limas, but I do love a good broad bean.

Love harissa, can't always get it so I love it when I can. I struggle with the frozen broad beans too but frozen stuff's great, when you've got it you've got it!

I'd love to see your take on carrot and coriander if that's okay and the spicy tiny pasta.

Thanks for all the ideas. :)

Sure :) My carrot and coriander is ridiculously simple because I think the most important component is LOADS of fresh coriander. If you didn't want to use so much then toasted coriander seeds are really potent (if I make it that way it's sort of richer, so usually add some soy yoghurt to serve). A lot of people use potato in C&C soup but I think it's so much fresher without it ( ... )
