Soup

[learnedax]

Have begun playing around with soup. Did some Roman egg & parmesan yesterday (strange stuff, clotting is apparently part of the desired effect) and right now trying out a quite nice cream of mushroom recipe. Am becoming Soup Nazi, only not so much with the Nazi. More like the Soup Libertarian. Free Soup for All!

I have an excess of poultry broth in my freezer and more carcass to cook. Any chance you could use any of this as base to play with? I seem to be able to make more broth than I can eat.

Ah, well, tpau tells me she prefers a different type of broth so I guess I won't twist your arm. However, if you find a great recipe that uses chicken or turkey broth, particularly one that is filling enough to serve for a supper, could you let me know?

I like soup.

Interesting that you just did Roman egg & Parmesan, since they served that last weekend at Games & Galliards. And yeah, clotting is apparently a feature rather than a bug with this soup. I almost screwed it up in the kitchen. I'd cracked over a gross of eggs, and mixed the Parmesan, bread crumbs and seasonings in. As this was being taken over to the stock, I started to explain how to temper the mix into the stock, since I didn't want all that work ruined by clumsy handling. Alas, the person who was more familiar with the recipe caught it in time, and the eggs were clotted into the soup. I think I might have preferred it better my way, though, and am tempted to try it, as an experiment.

I have a very good recipe for something called "Novgorod Borscht",which I can teach you how to make. It's unlike traditional borscht in that it is served hot and has meat in it. And it's good.

Stop making those faces. Your face will freeze like that.
