You have no idea how stoked I am for soup
My neighbor’s coworkers cousin once brought me a bowl of soup while I was at the beach with my family on a really windy day. By the time he handed me the bowl of soup it was nothing but a bowl of sand. I ate it anyway out of politeness but I ended up falling asleep after and woke up in ancient Egypt. I’m still stuck here and my family is still at the beach. I’m never eating a bowl of sand again.
He’s now 4000 years old. He had to bide his time until Lemmy came into existence.
Bide?! Damn it I’ve just been on a bidet this whole time.
There are worse things than having your butt hole gently cleaned with a cool spray of water for 4 millennia.
DiplomjodlerI used to make traditional German lentil soup (Linseneintopf) from freeze dried soup mix. When they discontinued that product, I was really bummed. Since then I’ve learned to make my own and it’s so much better, it’s unbelievable.
Alright, here you go. This is not very precise so use your own discretion.
Dice two large onions. Fry in oil until lightly brown. Add 200 gr of diced bacon. Add 200 gr of diced celery root Add 300 gr. of diced carrots Add 200 gr. of chopped leek Fry for a while, stirring continuously Add half a liter of water Add 2 table spoons of vegetable broth Add a can of brown lentils Simmer for about 30 minutes Add water as needed Add a few tablespoons of chopped parsley Add salt, pepper, pimento, paprika, and whatever else takes your fancy Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial)
That should about do it. All quantities are suggestions. This is very much a make it up as you go along kind of thing.
pseudoAdd a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial).
Well… Your soup doesn’t have any kind of acid. Not even tomatoes and if one thing need acidic balance it is lentils.
Herbal GamerSuggestions?
Some people don’t like it, though.
rbosI’d clarify (heh) the broth- you want two tablespoons of broth concentrate or powder. I’d just say half a litre of broth, and leave it up to the cook to decide whether to use it from concentrate or from a carton.
I was just describing the way I make it. I’m not a recipe writer in any way shape or form.
I would argue the flavor profile of balsamic vinegar in this use. Instead I would go with a red wine vinegar. A bit sharper on the tongue.
But, that’s the cool thing about soup. There are few rules and you can do whatever pleases your palete.
Balsamic is what I have at home so in it goes.
sp3ctr4lHard choice. I don’t have a favorite but I love instant minestrone as a quick warming meal. Anything packed with chicken bouillon is perfect for winter and sickness. I really like velouté especially ones with leaks or mushrooms (or both) but one that taste like home to me is a pumpking velouté thikens with rice. I also love hrira and chorba but anytimes people start talking them people fight for the sake of their recipe so I’ll rather change subject.
What about you? Do you have a clear favorite?
Also these days I’m curious about brocoli and cheese soup. I should make one before it is too warm.
It’s good. Just be careful to not oversalt it.
CatZoomiesThe problem is that you made a special stew. It’s a stew that blinds someone, but only for a day.
🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮 I have literally been in this situation with my sister. But, what do you expect making soup for dinner in the middle of summer when it’s over 100 degrees outside? Who wants soup when the weather is hot? I mean, unless it’s gespacho.
I am one of those “psychos” that actually like hot tea in the middle of summer. Don’t ask me how, I just find it enjoyable (usually indoors, outdoors I prefer cold stuff in the summer)
The image features “Pepe” the green frog character created by racist bigoted 4chan kids who think gay people should be killed by the state.
Pepe was not created by 4channers, only popularized by them. It was an unrelated cartoonist that created the character to espouse the joy of pulling your pants all the way down to pee
oh so you’re saying it’s NOT a symbol of racism and white supremacy?
this is why reading comprehension matters folks. stay in school.
You seem uneducated about the subject matter :/
Although originally an apolitical character in Furie’s works and its original internet popularity, Pepe was appropriated from 2015 onward as a symbol of the alt-right white nationalist movement.[7][8][9] The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) included Pepe in its hate symbol database in 2016, but said most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.[10][11] Since then, Furie has expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol and has sued organizations for doing so
Oh fuck off, nobody cares
you cared enough to comment :) thus you are wrong…

You went from ‘keep your puritan bullshit to yourself’ when someone calls prostitution exploitative to calling Pepe created by Matt Furie some hateful symbol tied to harm and oppression real fast.
ComradeSharkfuckerI want soup so fucking bad rn
9WhiteTeethHe was so pissed he barfed right into his little pot :(

Tempus FugitI made soup just the other day. It was a pretty bangin loaded potato soup.
I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.
Potato soup is just mashed potatoes with too much water, fight me.
Yes that plus sour cream, ham, bacon, onion, garlic, corn, cheese, and chunks of potato.
I’m ready. Right here right now.
A proper potato soup has nice spoon sized pieces of potato, celery, (and make sure you get some of the fresh celery leaves in there), onion, garlic, and carrot. And a not inconsiderable amount of bacon. (Pro Tip: Buy the cheaper bacon ends and trimmings for things like soups. They tend to be smokier and more bacon flavored). And for added flavor, tarragon and cilantro and black pepper.
Thicken the soup by making a rue with butter and flour, dissolve in a cup of heavy cream, as that thickens a bit, add it to your soup to thicken the soup. Blend about half the soup to get that smooth creamy texture. And only takes about an hour start to finish.
Beats anything you will ever get out of a can or restaurant.
Thanks for the potato soup tips!
Hey everyone! This guy doesn’t know how to make potato soup!
gandalf_der_12tethick soup is indistinguishable from one pot and i love it :P
ReverendIrreverenceMaybe because one of the ingredients is, apparently, frog drool
