Whats your favourite soup?

[george formby]

Ok, I am having a slow day, inspirationally & customally.... Any hoo my thoughts have drifted towards the cooler months & I am going to put take away soup on the board.

What are the all time Kiwi favourite winter warmers or after a long ride what would you want to dunk your garlic bread into to restore body & soul?

[rachprice]

Ohhh I made a delicious tuscan bean soup with spicy sausage in it the other day or spicy kumara coconut and lentil soup

[Big Dave]

I like that French one they have at fancy restaurants - 'Du Jour'

That would be translated as "Puree of yesterdays vegetables boiled to buggery". Working in big hotels has not jaded me one bit....

[scissorhands]

As long as it has slow cooked bones I'm usually well pleased:drool:

...this one of my favourites...

Something with bacon bones...

[george formby]

Something with bacon bones...

Curried green pea & bacon hock.... Would that entice middle New Zealand?

[Usarka]

French Onion soup...:love:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Or pea and ham.

[TrentNz]

tom yum soup mmmm

[MisterD]

Minestrone with so much stuff in it you can barely see the soup

[Red39]

Scotch broth - but then I'm biased :)

[ducatilover]

Minestrone with so much stuff in it you can barely see the soup
I second that.


I like anything soup-esque if it hasn't got mushroom or fish ;)

[yod]

Minestrone with so much stuff in it you can barely see the soup

Yes. Minestrone for the complete and utter souptastic win.

Or a good spicy tomato.

[jim.cox]

Borscht :)

[george formby]

Yes. Minestrone for the complete and utter souptastic win.

Or a good spicy tomato.

I can see a trend forming.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Curried green pea & bacon hock.... Would that entice middle New Zealand?

I'd tend to steer away from curried green pea with bacon hock: do a decent green pea and bacon hock, it don't need curry. dress it up with some sour cream and maybe some mint or coriander leaves to serve?

I love a good spicy/curry pumpkin soup though.

French onion also good: you need good stock though.

[HenryDorsetCase]

Oh, the price of Jours these days. Only the finest eateries can afford them....

Pure unadulterated pumpkin. No curry, no coconut, just thick sweet pumpkin soup - yum!

While I like a good tomato or pumpkin soup, Mushroom is my favorite:drool:

We have spatzle & rouladen with blaukraut every week, guaranteed a fat bastard night.

Nobody has mentioned chucken & sweetcorn yet, or seafood chowder. I thought they would be shoe ins.

No, you do not want to know what saveloys are, fully grown cheerios.

i use the "beef schnitzle (WTF????) they sell here, to make rouladen. same with spaetzle......hmmmmm, but instead of making blaukraut I serve with Kraut Salad (with bacon....i really really like bacon), yummmmmm......

Sauerbraten......with knoedel, Porkleg with knoedel and blaukraut, dang it now i am hungry.


oh and there is one soup I forgot

chicken broth with thinly sliced savioury pancaces ......so good Flaedlesuppn

[scissorhands]

Soups were often associated with illness and supportive mineral therapy

258241

I add Braggs and Indian black salt, both mineral supplements. Most good health stores will have.
Dr Bronners seasoning is now no longer available, no mention on wiki even, it was the bomb! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emanuel_Bronner

I think it was too good for you!!?? It had almost hundreds of ingredients... put together by a master chemist, a sad loss

If I got cancer I'd live on super healthy mineral rich soups....

[Mom]

with a gruyere & dijon mustard floater?

Yummy!

I am a bit of a pea and ham girl myself. Mind you pumpkin and tomato can also do it for me too. I love soups, so easy and so yummy. I have a recipei for a really fast pea and ham soup using dired peas somewhere, real cheats one. Involves soaking the peas in boiling water.

[Big Dave]

Oh, the price of Jours these days. Only the finest eateries can afford them....

Because nobody wants to do Joury duty.

[Woodman]

Tom yum or duck soup.

Seafood chowder ? Is chowder soup?

[Virago]

Palmolive.

Although Knight's Castille isn't too bad...

You two have actually met :yes:

Think L's Angels Ride to the Cape. Mark - meet Sabine - Sabine - meet Mark.


Seafood chowder is :puke: usually, I would NEVER eat it unless I knew exactly what was in it (I am a bit allergic LOL)

Chicken and sweetcorn is something that used to be presented back in the '80's :bleh:

Would only consider it if I had made it and it had a beaten egg combined in it while the soup was rotating furiously :laugh:

[Big Dave]

Palmolive.

You need your glasses' prescription checked.

[Virago]

She's fine - thank you for asking.

[GingerMidget]

This thread reminded me I have soup frozen in the freezer, and the weather is arse. I sense some painting, and soup consuming happening tonight.

Current one, is the ham bone I swiped from mum at christmas, with split peas, pearl barley, and whatever veges I found at new world real cheap. Can't remember, but it was a bit too chunky so I stuck it through the blender and added a bit of chilli and its amazing. I couldn't honestly tell you whats in it anymore, but my future planning self rocks at times.

[TrentNz]

Got to love the ol'wonton soup as well

[Usarka]

Tadpole soup :blip:

[ellipsis]

....dont forget the Mother of all soups...primordial...

[Ocean1]

or seafood chowder.

Clam Chowder. I've been working on a good one since my last trip to San francisco. That, and the Cheascake Factory's gumbo.

Soup. My grandmother always had some soup festering away on the old cast iron stove. The same soup. Seriously, she'd just been adding stuff, for decades.

[JustNick]

Tomato soup with a dash of cream. mmmmmmmmm.

[blue rider]

I know how to say "knoedel" & "Flaedlesuppn":lol: It was Karnaval yesterday. Mucho beer drunkin. Do you roll your pancakes so you have little Swiss rolly things floating around?

yes.....they have a little braet in them yummmm, i need a meat wolf (meet grinding machine???) to cook more proper food. and more kitchen, that would be so cool.

[Oakie]

My home made vege soup can't be beat.

[Sable]

Tom Yum, or any canned tomato soup with salt pepper butter chilli and a lump of marge.

[MisterD]

LOL. the penny dropped after I left work. Carrying on in the same vein, Jas will be on the road in a few days with her little yellow L's:banana::headbang:

Made my garlic butter today, fresh garlic, roast garlic, fresh sage & fresh rosemary. The crock pot I ordered should be here in moments so it's going to be spicytomatopumpkintomyumclamchicken & bacon pea soup for my first batch.

Ox Tail soup was something I remember as a 70's table slurper.
I think the Ox tail bits were left in the soup so you could pick the meat off and eat it?

That brings me to my next dilemma, the soup is in a big cup so do I make slurpy soups or get some dinky Chinese spoons for lumpy soups or just sell it as a tongue exercise?

Ox tail is very trendy again & stupidly expensive, now, beef shin is still off the culinary radar, meatier, just as tasty & has a big lump of bone marrow in the middle. A carnivores delight.

I would just drink/eat it out of the cup, and to keep costs down.
But some may like to use a spoon of sorts...you do get people from Remmers there dont you?....;)

I buy up all the discarded (ladies) bike seats I can get, take the covers of them and boil them up, cool then simmer over a low flame for 48 .... "delicious"! :first:

like lamb shanks: they got trendy then fucking expensive.

soooo tasty though.

Yup, bloody TV chefs & cuisine magazine. I used to buy pigs heads for a dollar a pop & get 16 portions @ $17 each out of them. Gone the same way, goormet d'joury. Luckily not many people know what to do with a pigs head. Oh, that reminds me, Brawn!!!! yum.


Hmmm, lamb shank in a cup......

[HenryDorsetCase]

the nicest cut of beef Ive ever had was beef cheek. absolutely fantastic.

Also it was cooked by Jonny Schwass, so that helps. but you could just do it like any slow cooked beef cut and it would be good.

salmon cheeks also good.

Nico Fini down here used to have a stand at the market doing lamb shanks, and he'd serve them like lollipops. cooked overnight, then wrapped in foil and kept warm on a hotplate. Use the bone as a handle, and eat the shank part, suck the marrow out. Superb. He hasnt done it for a while presumably they got too dear to sell at $8 - $9 each.

Even mutton shanks command a kings ransom. Add pigs cheeks to your list of succulent morsels but don't tell any body. They are still relatively cheap & absolutely delicious. I could do slow braised beef ribs in a cup. They come out like lollipops too.
