Say What Again Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Made this red lentil, chickpea and chilli last week. It was delicious and so easy to make, itt will definitely be a regular for me now. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/333614/red-lentil-chickpea-and-chilli-soup I didn't bother with the coriander or yoghurt to serve, and put the chickpeas in before blending.

fabienleclerq Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Has anyone got a decent recipe for Carrot and Coriander, usually buy the fresh carton of the shelf in Sainsbury (its not bad actually) but would prefer to do my own. I make ten litres at work so you can downsize to make how much you want!! One large onion diced finely 4 garlic cloves.finely chopped. Ten litre bucket of carrots! Top/tailed peeled and quartered. 2tbsp of ground cumin 500mls fresh orange juice Enough stock to cover the carrots. Bunch of coriander. Sweat of the onions in a little olive oil over a medium heat, after two minutes add the garlic stirring constantly. Once it's all soft add the cumin for a minute before adding the carrots, stir thoroughly to coat the carrots. Add the orange juice and cook for another 2/3 minutes over a high heat. Cover the veg in stock and cook till the carrots are cooked. Season to taste and add coriander(stalks and all) and finely blend. Barry!

Ray Gin Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Just made a cracker of a soup for lunch. half a red onion, finely chopped 1 red pepper, finely chopped 2x charlotte potato diced handful of green beens, trimmed and chopped 100g kidney beans Chorizo sausage (approx 100g) chopped into little pieces 200g chopped tomatoes 500ml chicken stock creme fraiche jalapenos red chilli Sweat the red onions over a medium heat in a little oil for a couple of minutes. Add the chopped red pepper and cook for another minute or so, giving it a stir as you go. Add the chicken stock, chopped tomatoes, green beans and diced potatoes and give it another good stir. Bring to boil, then leave simmering while you fry your chorizo Once the chorizo is fried, set it aside. After the soup has simmered for around 10 minutes, give it a blend. I only gave it a quick blend as I like some chunky bits to remain. After the blending, bung in your chorizo, some sliced jalapenos (from a jar), the red chilli and the kidney beans. Bring back to the boil and leave to simmer for another 10 minutes or so, giving it a stir every few minutes. Add a couple of dollops of creme fraiche, stir it in. Voli?!

DG_HMFC Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 My mother makes great chicken and rice soup, but it never works for me when I try it. Any top tips? Don't know how big a pot you use? I use what is more like a caserole pot for making soups... I fill the pot about 1/4 full(you will need more water, but better to add instead of having too much to start with), add your salt and just over half mug of rice, then bring it to the boil. Whilst the water is heating I chop up 3 leaks. I then like to rip each piece of leak in half when putting it in the pot. Add your stock (I use 2 knorr chicken stock pots). Get another pot and boil your chicken (I use 3 chicken breasts) until cooked. when it's cooked, take the chicken out and leave it to cool enough before shredding it, or you will melt your fingers tips by this point the big pot is boiling away nicely and is pretty much cooked, so you can add your shredded chicken and take it off the heat. All of this ingredients is based on a huge pot, so make sure you measure the rice accordingly or you will have more of a chowder than a soup, which isn't really a bad thing Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 that is exactly what happens to me.( i usually add soya sauce to make it look like the photos) i dunno what the french do.

It's some kind of old wifie soup ninja thing they all have. I use more veg than just leeks, maybe your mother does too ? The rest of it is pretty similar though. I start with chopping carrott and onion and softening them in the casserole pan ( don't brown them ) approx 6-7 mins, probably a bay leaf in there too, ( and you could be using celery, garlic and thyme at this bit too ), Then 2 parts chicken stock, one part water. bring to the boil. Add the chicken and rice ( long grain white rice ) season and simmer for 30 mins until the chicken is tender. I agree about the shredded chick. couple of breasts chopped up and dropped in to a pan of boiling water until there cooked through and then shred them with some forks or however you want to do it. I'm not sure there's a right and wrong way to do these kind of things. I can't make soup as good as my mother either though, so what would I know?

Carrots and onions go in with the leeks, along with a bay leaf and mixed herbs. I tend to use leftover roast chicken, but boil the chicken breasts on occasion.

jimmyjambo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 made this last week, superb and easy as well http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/thaiinspirednoodleso_92377.pdf bbc.co.uk/food Simple Thai noodle soup Ingredients 1 good knob fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped 1-2 red chillies, seeds removed (optional), roughly chopped 1-2 stalks lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, roughly chopped 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled 1 handful fresh coriander, a few sprigs reserved and chopped a glug or two vegetable oil 1 tbsp coriander seeds 1-2 pinches ground turmeric small jug vegetable stock a couple of handfuls rice noodles 1 x 400ml/14fl oz can coconut milk 1 large handful raw, peeled tiger prawns (the shells and heads can be reserved for making stock in another recipe) a few splashes Thai fish sauce, to taste Preparation method 1. Blend the ginger, chilli, lemongrass, garlic and coriander in a food processor until quite finely chopped, adding a little vegetable oil if the paste is too dry. 2. Add the paste to a large shallow pan and cook for a few minutes to release the aromas, stirring frequently. Roughly crush some coriander seeds with a pestle and mortar and add to the paste with a pinch or two of turmeric and the vegetable stock and simmer for a few minutes. 3. Meanwhile, pour some boiling water over the rice noodles in a bowl and let them sit until they have softened, about 4-5 minutes, then drain and set aside. 4. To soften the heat of the sauce, add the coconut milk to the pan and bring back to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes while you devein the prawns by cutting along the back of the prawn with a small sharp knife and removing the black 'thread' using the point of the knife. Add the prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and tender, finishing off with splashes of Thai fish sauce, to taste, and more chopped fresh coriander, to your taste. 5. To serve, divide the drained noodles between two bowls and ladle over the aromatic soup with the prawns and serve straightaway. Chicken, scallops or mushrooms are a great alternative to the prawns.

redm Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Made Green Pea & Spinach soup last night and aside from the fact it's unfortunately very green, I was pretty happy with it. The recipe is from the Soup Bible - it's very light so if you like a more hearty soup I'd add in extra peas and also up the bacon and cabbage. Mace is apparently nutmeg rather than pepper spray/teargas by the way, just in case you wondered. Green Pea Soup with Spinach This lovely green soup was invented by the wife of a seventeenth-century British member of parliament, and it has stood the test of time. INGREDIENTS Serves 6 generous 3 cups shelled fresh or frozen peas 1 leek, finely sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 bacon slices, finely diced 11/4 quarts ham or chicken stock 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup shredded fresh spinach 1/3 cup finely shredded white cabbage liz small lettuce, finely shredded 1 celery stalk, minced a large handful of parsley, minced liz carton cress 4 teaspoons chopped fresh mint a pinch of ground mace salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 Put the peas, leek, garlic, and bacon in a large saucepan. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. 2 About 5 minutes before the pea mixture is ready, heat the oil in another large saucepan. " Add the spinach, cabbage, J lettuce, celery and herbs to the skillet. Cover and sweat over low heat until soft. 4 Transfer the pea mixture to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add to the sweated vegetables and herbs and heat through. Season with mace, salt and pepper and serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
