Thread: Slap's Saturday Kitchen: The Legend of the Soupsman

I have decided to become a soup specialist.

I am aspiring to be the best soup chef in the history of the universe.

From the comforting properties of a broth to the flamboyancy of a bisque, I will have the entire soup market covered.

I will be so fucking good at cooking soup that people will travel from every corner of the globe to taste my wares.

I shall go on to be referred to as 'The Soupsman'.

Years from now, excited children will ask their weary parents to once again regale the 'Legend of the Soupsman'. About how he altered the course of culinary history. About how he dared venture beyond the realms of conventional cooking. About how he had the ability to write an alarming amount of irrelevant twaddle.

The quest for this esteemed moniker starts with a basic tomato soup.

Tomatoes, tomato puree, a smidgen of rosemary, onion and garlic, frying in butter and olive oil.



A pint or so of chicken stock is added, the broth brought to the boil and then left to simmer for 30 minutes.



Tease the aromatic melange into a blender, pulsate not once, not twice, but thrice, before blitzing the living shat out of it.

Reheat if necessary.

Plate and garnish.



Souperb!

Those are some manky looking tomatoes, but end result looks good.

Most probably the pick of the crop in Thailand .

I bought a hot and cold blender about 18 months ago which is great for making soups.

My spicy Tomato and Basil soup pisses over yours, I am Souperman!

The trained eye of the Soupsman wouldn't allow for anything less.

Long way from the meat locker.

Challenge accepted but Soupsman sounds gay, IMO.

Do you wear a skirt as you cook?

Stick to writing and drunken debauchery, Slap. Your culinary technique is just a hair above piss poor. Now if you're not offended just ask and I'll let you know where you fouled up.

Could be of the "heritage" type - as they do not resemble what most have been conditioned to what a tomato might be.

Slap good try for a first timer

couple of suggestions, use more tom paste try either thyme or rosemary, a few carrots and celery, and use a Gastric, which is sugar and vinegar reduced gives the soup a bite

7/10 for a good try

He's making hot Bloody Mary's really ain't ya Slap....

^ Tomatoes here are mostly tasteless and either over or under ripe. Sometimes half each in the same fruit. Storage and handling issues I suspect.

Must get some decent roma and beefsteak seeds.

I actually bought a tin of Heinz Tomato Soup the other day, haven't eaten that in years. Still in the cupboard.

No. I wear a leopard skin leotard and a pair of stilettos, if you must know.

Right, this soup-off. I challenge you, young Kurgen. to rummage up a broth by next Saturday and I shall do the same. A thread will then be created in order to judge the victor. Everyone welcome to enter.

Indeed. An Issanic BM. LK in place of Vodka. I might try to punt it out around the provinces.

Not when a seasoned Soupsman gets hold of them.

I was delighted to note that my soup tasted much better than that, and ran rings around any Campbell's offering I've ever tried.
