OK, what's your specialty soup?
I'm not a great cook. Basically, I don't cook at all
But I do like to just put things together that I think will taste good and it usually comes out good

I've just made a simple chicken soup from potatoes, carrots, tabasco, paprika, black ground pepper, salt, olive oil, and some chicken soup flavoring thingie (need to improve my vocabulary before I move to NY).

Tastes great!!!

I make great carrot and parsnip soup ... and my cauliflower soup can't be beaten!

I've never made soup in my life!

I'm just gonna look up parsnip, because I have no clue what it is, and the 'snip' part makes me sit with my legs crossed

Reincarnate said:

recipes, please!

I've never made a great tomato and pepper soup! Smashing!

Also, I don't have a great recipe for winter vegetable soup.

Heavenly said:

It's a root vegetable with white flesh - nice roasted.

doctormcmeekle said:

i got a great, easy recipe for you then...

Instant soup is my specialty!

I never thought I'd be swapping recipes on the org ... they're my own, so I don't know whether they'll make sense, but here goes:

Carrot and Parsnip:

1 onion
2-3 parsnips
4 carrots
fresh vegetable stock (or Marigold Swiss Vegetable Bouillon powder - approx 3 teaspoons per pint of liquid; 4 if you want a stronger taste)
Sunflower oil (approx 2tbs)
(optional, for thicker soup: quick-cook lentils/pulses - in Britain, Holland and Barratt do a great pack ... you don't need to boil them first and can add them straight to the soup)

Heat oil and add chopped onion.
Add carrots then parsnips.
Stir and sweat the vegetables for around 5 minutes.
Add the stock, made up to around 2 pints
Add quick-cook lentils
Cook for around 20 mins

Either leave it chunky or whizz up in a food processor ... it will thicken considerably, so I usually do half and half (half big chunks, half whizzed up).

Cauliflower Soup
Possibly the easiest soup ever ... and it comes out creamy - people usually think it's got cream or butter in it.

1 onion
1 cauliflower
Vegetable stock as above
Sunflower oil

Heat oil and add onion.
Break up cauliflower and add
Stir and sweat together for a few minutes (around 4 or 5)
Add stock
Heat for around 20 mins
Take off heat and whizz it all up.
Done


Good luck

sounds great - i'll definitely try them both!

irresistibleb1tch said:

What are they then?

irresistibleb1tch said:

Happy to oblige

ooh, this is starting to sound good. I'm writing down recipes, so if something happens to me it's on your heads

Heavenly said:

what could happen? They're Kosher

Reincarnate said:

They are?
Great! then I could also cook them at my boss's house when I move to NY

Heavenly said:

I like a man who can cook. Otherwise he would starve.

luv4u said:

I can't cook, but I can dial 1-800-dominos

Heavenly said:

Oh well, then I cannot marry you.

luv4u said:

I can learn though I'm a quick learner too

Heavenly said:

I want to taste some dishes from your country, start cooking

luv4u said:

Oh, I can make those. they are very simple, usually. they just need the right ingredients. and not canned ones, but fresh ones. That's why hummus will never taste as good as in Israel, and tehini too.
I think you'll have to come here

Heavenly said:

Interesting...

Heavenly said:

I love hummus. I could live on that. What time is dinner? Are you sending your private jet to pick me up??

Heinz tomato, vegetable or chicken with toast or croutons. Alright, not very adventurous but lovely on a cold winter night.

Soup? Never heard of it, is it any good?

ThreadCula said:

I meant to say she can come to Israel and stay at a hotel, sweety
(damn, got cought by my girlfriend again )


How are you tonight?
Did you dump your old boyfriend yet?
Or do I have to come by and umm....get beaten by him?

luv4u said:

I don't have a private jet, but eating lots of hummus will make you have your own jet, if the ingredients are right

Heavenly said:

Yummy
