Soup

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Damp and cold today, so a perfect time to use some homemade chicken stock.

We made butternut squash soup from leftovers and biscuits.

I told my wife yesterday we need to make a butternut squash soup soon. We eat soup almost everyday because it's still somewhat cool in the evenings. And soup is a much lighter evening offering than some of the stuff she cooks for dinner

Split pea with ham. I think I will add more stock for the leftovers.

It does look a wee bit thicker than the soups I usually eat. I'm gonna have to make this this week, but with a little more stock.

I make pea soup often and it does thicken up a lot the second day. A thick soup is OK but more reserved for the cold winter months. Not now in Wisconsin.

I thawed out a big package of chicken thighs intending to roast or grill them. The weather has suddenly turned damp and cold so I think I'll make a big pot of soup with at least half of them. (pan-fry a few first for lunch and add the bones to the soup pot) I have some jars of turkey stock I can use up; it's close enough. Green onions from the garden, celery, carrots, frozen egg noodles.

These soups look so good. Now I'm going to have to think about trying something like one or more of them.

First time making birria ramen. Won’t be the last. Similar taste profile to posole.
Soup meals are severely underrated.

Oh yeah, and easy too. I used leftover birria meat and broth and a few packs of cheap ramen (sans the flavor packet).

Soupy soup.

I cleaned out the fridge tonight and slopped together some tortilla soup. I didn’t have any soaked black beans ready to go, nor any corn, and certainly no fresh cilantro. Had limes, but forgot to use them. Oh well, fridge is cleaned up and my belly is full.

Is it soup without broth? I'm planning an udon, and don't have a stock for it. I guess I could put it in the other food forum, but it'd be cool to put it here. I don't know. I think of udon as soup. I'm going to find a stock. I just had to think it through.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Golly but I do love me some udon. I need to look into making that.

I made red lentil soup today, it’s still not as good as the Turkish restaurant I go to, but much closer than the last time. Tomato purée and red bell peppers are in there.

Thank you, Hoppy! I totally forgot about that. That is a really good one, and it's one that I need to figure out.

There are a couple recipes on line I used for guidance, the batch before this one I used lamb stock, this one is a blend of beef and pork. Lamb is better in my opinion.

Over here I use Vietnamese cilantro for fresh stuff. I've never been able to grow cilantro but the Vietnamese variety grows great.

Bouillabaisse the stock was made with fish bones and head some aromatics, shrimp shells and clam juice. Onion, fennel, garlic and diced fresh tomato sautéed in olive oil salt, pepper and saffron threads. Added stock and diced potatoes the seafood in the order and intervals so everything is properly done when the potatoes are.
