That said, Pip makes some that are better. She used to do a "perpetual" winter veg one which also had pasta in. The basic idea was once started, you boiled it up well each day and added new stuff as the contents got eaten. Her latest delight was lettuce and potato, made at least partly to use up an excess of lettuces. I still have difficulty in imagining a lettuce as a main soup ingredient but I would rank this one as one of the best I've ever had. Leek and potato is another I think is excellent. Watercress is yet another. Jon |

From: Joe_F BORSCHT In U.S. delicatessens this has degenerated to a little dish of cold shredded beets with a dollop of sour cream. There's nothing wrong with that, but a real old-country borscht is a meal in itself. The New York Times Cookbook gives a Ukrainian & a Russian recipe. The former is a major project, but I mean to try it someday for fun. The latter I have made several times with excellent results: 1 lb lean beef, cubed 1.5 qt water 1 tbsp salt 1.5 cups shredded raw beets 3/4 cup shredded carrots 3/4 cup shredded white turnips 1 medium onion, chopped 2 tbsp tomato puree 2 tbsp vinegar 1 tsp sugar 2 tbsp butter 1/2 small head cabbage, shredded Freshly ground black pepper 2 bay leaves Sour cream Simmer the beef, covered, in salted water until tender (about 1.5 h) Meanwhile, in a large saucepan simmer the beets, carrots, turnips, onion, tomato puree, vinegar, sugar, & butter, covered, 15 min. Stir frequently. Add the cabbage & cook 10 min longer. Add the veg mixture, pepper, & bay leaves to the meat & broth. Adjust seasonings, & cook until the vegs are tender. Add more vinegar if desired. Add sour cream to taste before eating. |

From: Sooz Our homemade vegetable soup is scrummy, but different every time as the ingredients are subject to availabilty. We run a "Supper Quiz" in our Village Hall where the participants get a three course meal with a quiz to follow. Last Autumn, one of the choices for the first course was "Quizmasters Ten Vegetable Soup". It was very popular, until we announced the first round of the quiz (two courses later) - identify the ten vegetables in the soup. I think the answer was:- onion, leek, garlic, broccoli, mushroom, carrot, parsnip, celery, tomato and potato. The left overs were even better the next day - why is it that soups and casseroles improve with age and I just get more wrinkles? |

07 Aug 04 - 08:32 PM (#1242110) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Guest, TIA, you should have a look at the thread I started about BS: Peanut butter & ?? sandwiches - lots of other pb afficionados here. Favourites: home made pumpkin soup - an Oz favourite. The best I ever had seemed to be butternut pumpkin cooked and pureed (no stock) with seasonings and either a dollop of sour cream or butter on top and a sprinkling of fresh herbs. But my favourite way of making it is to fry up some onions, use whatever fresh pumpkin (a half or a quarter of a big one) is available cut up in chunks, add some stock (I use pre-made bought variety), boil it up for about 10 minutes till the pumpkin is softand then blend it up. Adjust seasonings. Eat. If you want to be fancy add the extra stuff -sour cream herbs etc, but just as it is with chunks of fresh bread is heaven. Sometimes I swirl a bit of milk through it, too. Also: cauliflower, onion & bacon - has to be home made pea & ham - has to be home made tomato - from a can works for me because I have never figured out the trick to make it myself. It's always too acidic when I make it from fresh tomatoes minestrone - - has to be home made, or from an Italian cafe Once, years ago, a group of people I knew put on an evening which we called a Winter's Revel. Everyone had to bring some soup or bread and we had pots of all different types. It was cold outside and warm in the hall with lots of talking, laughing and eating, and afterwards we had some music and had a dance. It stands out in my memory as one of the best nights of my life. It's the only time I have had real borscht too. One of the women whose family included Russian heritage, made her family's recipe and it was brilliant. Hot, sour, chunky with beetroot strips, and with a big dollop of sour cream on top. John, just ignore the spelling Nazis. Real people look for the real meanings. Spelling Nazis look for something to whinge about. Helen |

07 Aug 04 - 08:52 PM (#1242128) Subject: RE: BS: What is your favourite sort of SOUP? From: The Fooles Troupe One of the tricks of cooking with tomatoes is to remove all the seeds and liquid, use only the peeled flesh. Australians treat pumpkin as a vegetable, Americans seem to treat it as a fruit - Aussie pumpkin pies are savoury, US ones seem to be too sweet for Aussie taste. Aussie pumpkin soups are savoury, not sweet, but there is a natural sweetness. Maybe it has to do with the varieties grown. |

07 Aug 04 - 11:09 PM (#1242208) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Spelling Nazis - lighten up! Talk about soup or go somewhere else and start your own thread about spelling. And maybe I'll come and invade your spelling thread with some thread-creep about soup. Soup-thread-creep! ;-> Thread-creep soup? The American pumpkin pies are sweet because they have sugar in them. Same pumpkin, I think. An American couple who were living out here a few years ago invited me to a Thanksgiving Dinner at their place. Lots of yummy food, but sweet pumpkin pie - that was weird! An my friend was very bemused as well because she said it was the first time she had ever made pumpkin pie from fresh pumpkin rather than from a can. Cultural differences! Helen |

Never seen canned pumpkins in Australia, we have so many fresh ones, that I doubt anyone would try canning it.

08 Aug 04 - 07:24 AM (#1242445) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Yes, butternut squash - same as butternut pumpkin. Butternuts are probably the nicest tasting pumpkins. I don't know what sort of pumpkins you have in America. As Foolestroupe said, Queensland Blue and Jap are pretty common, at least here on the east coast of Oz. My hubby, whose father had a fruit & veg shop, reckons that dry pumpkins are the nicest. Dry, meaning that the flesh is not moist. The darker the colour of the flesh the better the flavour too. I suspect that warm climates produce good pumpkins because they would ripen well to a deep colour and drier texture. Helen |

08 Aug 04 - 10:06 AM (#1242502) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: JennyO Butternut pumpkins seem to be naturally sweeter than the other varieties. I like them best. A few years ago I had a very successful crop of them from my garden (have never had such a good crop since). I just stood them in a cool dry place in my laundry and we had all the pumpkin we could eat for months. They kept really well. I have a friend, Warren (Arch) Bishop, a wonderful performing poet and storyteller who also takes a food van to festivals. His pumpkin soup is to die for. I like it with a blob of sour cream in the middle and freshly ground pepper, with a soft bread roll. Until 2 years ago, there was a pumpkin soup stand at the National Folk Festival in Canberra. The guy used to stay open till all hours, long after all the other food stalls had closed for the night, but didn't open again till lunch time or so the next day. It was lovely to come out of a session at 3am and be able to get a hot mug of soup and a bread roll on my way back to my tent. He always did a roaring trade, in fact it often turned into a meeting place for late night eaters. Where else but at a folk festival would you get a queue at 3am? I remember one year a bunch of us just hung around there for hours. He ended up inviting us in and giving us free seconds, and we were still sitting around on milk crates talking as the sun came up - and this was in a particularly cold year too, temperature somewhere around zero. Our feet were cold but we were warm inside. He hasn't been there the last two years, and it is a real loss. |

08 Aug 04 - 02:54 PM (#1242651) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Scoville Tomato Florentine. I don't remember exactly how I make it but I use canned pureed and chopped tomatoes, and water, for the base, add some chopped onion, some cooked pasta (shells are cute, but of course anything works), melt in some Parmesan cheese (even the cheap powder stuff works), and then add spinach and let it wilt. A friend of mine gave me a recipe for something called locro (I think it may be Peruvian; she lived in Peru for years) that's a thick yellow-squash soup that's topped with slivered red onions marinated in lemon and oil. I'll see if I can find the recipe. |

From: Helen Onion Soup From Anna Thomas "The Vegetarian Epicure" 1 & ½ pints of clear broth (this book has a recipe for making your own from potato peels, but beef broth seems to suit the flavour fo the onions) 4 large Spanish onions 5oz butter ¾ pint water 1 small piece bay leaf ¼ tspn thyme (optional) 1 to 2 tspn lemon juice 1 to 2 Tbs brandy salt & pepper (fresh ground) sliced French bread grated Gruyère cheese Cut onions into quarters and slice them. Sauté these slices in butter very gently until they are very tender and golden. Pour over them the broth & water, the herbs, lemon juice, & brandy. Season with salt & pepper and let simmer slowly another ½ to 1 hour. The liquid will reduce slightly. Just before serving, pour the hot soup into 1 large casserole or 6 individual ones. Top it with slices of French bread (one for each serving) and sprinkle over this an ample amount of grated Gruyère cheese. Bake soup in a hot oven for 15 minutes, then serve immediately. 6 servings |

13 Aug 04 - 05:41 PM (#1247101) Subject: RE: BS: Waht you favoritre sort of soop? From: Helen Pinko, you should live in Oz. Almost the same situation, except that we would have had to drive for miles in a different direction to get to the station, and the young woman sitting next to me needed to get to the next township/suburb (about 5 miles away from the station for which she would have to catch another bus). So I suggested to her to ask the bus driver if he could drop her off as we went through the place she wanted to go. He yells out to everyone on the bus "Who wants to get off at Fassifern Station?" Everyone says no, so he just bypasses the turn-off to the station and stops in the town and drops her off. Easy-peasy, no fuss, no mess for anyone. In Oz, the majority of people can't see the sense in doing something silly which wastes everyone's time, when doing something sensible will work better. (Note, I said the "majority of people" because there are still the sticklers for doing the "right" thing regardless of common sense. ) alison, In the onion soup I think the two ingredients which make the most difference are the clear broth and the brandy. If you have good broth - either home made or what I use, which is sold in a packet at supermarkets - then the flavour of the soup is dramatically improved. Also the brandy is probably the secret ingredient. It changes the flavour but adds that comforting/warming sensation which changes it from soup to an experience. The bread and melted cheese contributes to the whole experience too. I think I took onion soup to the Winter's Revels that I mentioned before. In my previous house, where I used to hold a lot of regular music sessions, I had a fuel (wood burning) stove in the dining room and on a couple of occasions in winter I got the fire going, had the kettle constantly simmering for endless pots of tea, and also had some vege & meat soup simmering ready for the mealbreak, with lots of fresh bread & butter. It was close to my idea of heaven: a house full of people playing music, laughing & talking, lots of hot tea and home made soup in a nice warm room in winter. Helen |
