Fullerene Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, approximately dave said: Wild Mushroom since its seasonal and more of a treat. I like beetroots both pickled and not. I've never tried Borsch, I would like a few tries at making it. Supposed to be a good comfort food. I use to make Borscht. Very affordable. 6 gallons for £6. 6 pounds of beetroot, 3 pounds of onions, 2 pounds of carrots, 1 pound of spinach and a jar of marmite. Blend the lot. Serve with natural yoghurt or sour cream. Use to freeze it too. Around the same time, my father was keen on making blackcurrant puree and freezing it too. We weren't very good at labelling anything that went in the freezer. Only found out when we thawed it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only found out when we thawed it out. I've never heard of it being made with including Marmite. I'm sure there's a Borsch connoisseur somewhere who will claim 'this is not Borsch'. Marmite is very strong and tastes overwhelming, so I take it 6 gallons is enough to subdue a full jar and allow you to taste the other ingredients? Depending on preference, I would would assume that Bovril would do the job just as well ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnydun Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I don't like the sound of a lump of cheddar in my soup, however my favourite soup is cheese based, broccoli and Stilton. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One lump or two? Added to chicken and broccoli. Probably goes well with some garlic buttered toast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lines are blurred on what constitutes a soup, is it down to ingredients, viscosity or simply because someone decided that dish should be called a soup. Is a soup somewhere inbetween tea and a casserole or does it depend also on whether you eat it from a dinner plate or a bowl or a mug, with a fork, chopsticks or a spoon? Marwood here has a bowl of coffee, yet to the eye of Withnail it's soup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Play Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Homemade soup is the best. Keep it simple: Red lentils, carrots, onions, swede, leeks, green pepper, 4-5 cloves of garlic, mixed herbs (optional), add a vegetable stock. Throw it all in the Pressure King Pro. Set soup mode. Once cooked, take the PKP into the back garden and release all the steam there, rather than releasing all excess moisture into your kitchen. Blend and enjoy. One very important thing to note is, always make sure you listen to the right music when you’re making the soup. That makes all the difference! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Or… 1 pack smoked bacon lardons 2l vegetable stock 250g lentils 2 leeks 4 carrots. Fry/brown the bacon, then add the hot stock, boil, add the lentils, cook for 20mins. While cooking, chop/slice the leek and carrots. Add to the pan, cook for 20mins more then blend. Universally praised round these parts. in other news, the remains of tonight’s roast chicken carcass is currently getting boiled down for stock. Open to any ideas beyond my usual chicken noodle if any PnBrs have a go-to recipe that can be shared….? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice as that sounds, the traditional Christmas Eve celebration involves the abstinence from meat in our house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
