Soup Tribute Thread - nectar of the gods

[Champ]

I do like to offer a personal service.

And you do it very well.

 

But how come you didn't know it was sweet potato?

 

Btw, there's a great sweet potato soup recipe in that book I recommended, Gord

[Bjornebye]

Heinz Cream of Tomato soup with some chopped up chorizo, mushroom, red onion and pepper in is the fucking king of soups. It sits upon it's throne like Ming the Merciless without Flash Gordon poking his salmon faced grid into proceedings.

Putting mushrooms in Heinz Tomato soup should see your nose pulled off by badgers & you sent to Slough or somewhere to spend the rest of your days.

 

Fucking disgusting chat.

You fucking Herbert

Because I never ate sweet potato when I was still over there. Ate plenty of kumara since I've been here though.

[General Dryness]

Why the fuck do you Kiwis call it a stupid name like Kumara

What's wrong with Sweet Potato?

Weird

 

Its the maori name for it. Multicultural society and all that.

 

You're welcome to tell the first maori you meet that his language is fucking stupid though. Better you than me.

Weird

It's a particular type of sweet potato, native to Aotearoa and 'Kumera' is it's Maori name.

 

Sorry guys, I assumed that Kumera would be flooding into Blighty (globalisation and all that jazz) but as the story goes, to assume is to make an ass of u and me.

 

Feel free to substitute sweet potato!!

Winter Pistou this weekend. Leek, celeriac, fennel, carrots, parsnips and haricot beans with a dollop of pesto in the middle.

 

Quite impressed with the fennel/basil combination, didn't really expect that to work as well as it did

[RoboRiise]

I did a proper traditional pea and ham last week, the kind that makes you fart for three days after you eat it.  Perfect for winter nights, cheap as hell too, the whole panful cost about a fiver and I have (no shit) about five pints of it left in the freezer to either take into work for lunch, or for a home-cooked tea that I can sort out in 5 minutes and has virtually no washing up.  Nice bit of bread with that, lovely stuff.

Best veggie version of onion soup that I've found

Tonight I'll put together one of my favourites, carrot and coriander. Quick, cheap, delicious and impossible to fuck up. That should get us through the weekend.

Made this on tues. very nice. I added a small dash of chilli powder too for a bit of heat.

If you don't have any veggies to feed, replace the olive oil with goose fat, cook a lad of lardons in it, remove the lardons ANC cook the soup as described, add god lardons back in at the end

My gruyere, bacon and potato soup is out of this world.

 

I'll make someone a lovely wife someday, or something.

Yeah my mother-in-law makes many delicious foods, but her approach to soup is throw ingredients in pan with boiling water. Hence, all her soups are shit

[lifetime fan]

Left over peas, left over ham, left over mint and left over goats cheese.

 

 

[PestiRed]

Finally run out of Christmas left-overs, except for the goose liver that may possibly kill me. Made a Broccoli and Stilton (blue cheese anyway) soup to ease my stomach into less food whilst still being quite rich.

Keep a little bit of the broccoli to one side and add after blending. Stir in and melt cheese after blitzing, despite what recipe says

[Mook]

I keep seeing this thread & thinking it's a Soup Dragons tribute thread.

 

And other crap stories I should keep to myself, in your local Pound shop now.

I've two on the go this morning.

 

A curried sweet potatoe and Cauliflowe, green bean and ham.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Purists won't like it but I had a knorr thick country soup powder sachet the other day. Lovely.
