Thread: Soup

^ lol you crazy!

Looks amazing PAG! yum! I like the crouton idea. I’m making a soup tomorrow, I’ll post it up.

^Oxtail soup? Ew! lol

Made Coconut Sweet Potato soup today





Peel potatoes and carrots and chop everything.



Saute onions, garlic and ginger in the instant pot




Turn saute off and add everything else.




Get my immersion blender out once cooked on high pressure for 15 mins



Blend on high



I didn't make croutons, but this could be good with bread. Added basil on top and salt and pepper. Also added in some smoked paprika and a 1/2 tsp of stevia as it wasn't that sweet to me.

Using stevia as a sugar substitute can reduce calories in foods and drinks, but it may also have some adverse effects. Possible side effects include nausea, bloating, low blood pressure, and hormone disruption. Stevia is a non-nutritive or zero-calorie sweetener made of steviol glycosides.

Why does an overweight woman of 50 something think anyone is interested in her flash of cleavage?

Because idiots like Chitty & tax encourage her delusions.

This is baby gloop, not soup. You could stand a fucking spoon in it.

Try thinning it a little with vegetable stock or milk/cream.

Blah, blah, blah!

I like the soup that's all that matters. Do you and your follower have a soup to add to this thread?
Then fvck off.

Gloop, I tried to help by offering you a solution.

I like a thick soup, though not quite as thick as MM's, which is bordering on a puree. If it's too thick, the soup won't soak into the croutons (if having them). Some vegetable stock or water would sort that out.

There's nearly always a decent stock of various soups in my freezers, and I won't be make more for a while. Current varieties include, cream of mushroom, broccolli and cauliflower, cream of celery, leek and potato, French onion, tomato and basil, pea and mint, carrot and coriander, and spiced pumpkin. The spiced pumpkin I particularly like with its Indian spicing, and have with a naan bread rather than croutons.

Splendid may I join the queue at your soup kitchen, will bring one of Mendy's "flying" spoons or a very long straw?

Looks great but surely that's a Garlic and tomato soup?

Have you noticed anyone keeping their distance after you've downed a bowl?

I'm awaiting a shipment of San Marzano and was gonna make my tomato soup when they arrive although reading your theory on roasting I'm gonna give your recipe a bash today, before I head down the boozer, so I'll go with just the one clove

I see a lot of recipes where they just use basic tomatoes that they add sugar to combat the acidity and I'm guessing that's what your roasting achieves?

Went with this simple 4 ingredient BBC recipe in the end.
It looks more like Heinz than PAG's see if mine turns out the same.



Tomato soup recipe | BBC Good Food

I did heed the advice of roasting the tomatoes though before adding 4 times the recommended sugar.


Ripened on the vine and picked by Dave Shepherd in Worcester


Lightly roasted whilst the other 3 ingredients were sweating




Mix it all in with 2 heaped spoons of sugar and sit back and relax whilst the magic happens

Turned out amazing and just like Heinz cream of tomato

You need to change the wraps, mate.

Funny ingredients for a soup though.

^^Looks great, Dill! Turned out the same color as mine for some reason. Lightly roasted well done. You'll have soup for awhile now . What kind of pot are you using? Check out an instant pot if you make a lot of soups, it really is the cats meow.

Nice! This may be my next soup. What recipe do you use? I actually had mini naan with my soup above as it has those same spices that I bet is added to the pumpkin soup.

Adverse only if you use a lot. I use half a tsp. and also use it in my coffee. Stevia is a natural herb. For those trying to cut out sugar it is a good alternative.

PAG, Dill, does leaving where the stem attached to the tomato on make the tomatoes bitter when blended up? I also do the v cut thing to remove them before roasting as I don't want that bit in my sauce, gravy, soup, etc.

^ It didn't make it bitter. I did chew on a bit of it though. The guy on BBC did say to remove because it doesn't soften.

It's a Tefal thingamebob. Mainly a pressure cooker with loads of idiot proof preset buttons. It's a bit like yours but with about half the features and no airfry or coconut selfie taker

Perhaps I overblended it. It was the first time I used an immersion blender for soup, right in my instantpot while hot. I can add more water if need be, should sort it out. It is tasty though.

That's all you really need! I don't use the airfry button on mine.

Wife made up a tasty tom yum moo style soup variation of her own. Perfect on a rainy overcast day.

^Looks really good, Stumpy! Well done Mrs.
I miss Tom Yum soup from Thailand. There is a coconut soup with potatoes and veggies that I miss... forget the name?
