We simply MUST discuss SOUP

I very much need an entire baguette to enjoy a soup though. I need something carby or it just feels like a sad little non-meal.
 
Minestrone is my absolute fave. The M&S one is very good but I always have a home made lentil on the go in the colder months.
 
The Katsu Curry ramen at Shoryu is PURE HEAVEN

It’s way more spicy than katsu is normally (in this country anyway) but it’s all the better for it

I like the Chicken & Veg big soups ( shout out to @Tisch ) because they have fuck all calories and fill you up marvellously - more foods should do this!

Also like Baxter’s minestrone and Med Tomato - very similar, they’re a bit watery for what I normally like but very healthy and still lots of flavour. And I love pasta in a soup.

Chicken Noodle soup is also a must

M&S do great fresh soups - the Moroccan chicken is lovely but very heavy, and the spicy lentil and red pepper is sex in a pot

YAY SOUPS!
 
Also without SOUPS we would never have been given this, and life would have been so different

 
Omg do my Iraqi sisters know كبة حامض :disco:

I don't particularly enjoy making the thick, creamy soups that most Brits seem to favour, but I'm always happy for someone to serve them to me!

I like broth-y things more. One of my winter staples here is: miso + veg stock + kombu + ginger + ALL the chilli (I think I've murdered my tastebuds to the point where I can now only taste things if there's EXTREME HEAT) + shiitake mushrooms + edamame + tofu + some kinda Asian leaves (I'm esp partial to MILK BOK CHOI) + scallions for days omnomnom. Miso ftw!
 
I mean french onion is amazing on every level.

I don't think I've made anything too exotic yet, mostly winter veg, tomato, broccoli and stilton, french onion etc. Although I expect my Polish style beetroot soup isn't to everyone's tastes.
 
I like homemade soups my parents make, which are more like a broth and sometimes spicy. 😋🍲 I had French onion soup a long time ago, but I prefer more vegetables in. :)
Out of the shop ones, blended soups like carrot and coriander are decent once in a while, tomato soup, cream of chicken, etc. but not too often.
The cup-a-soups (powdered ones) I like most are minestrone and cream of asparagus, best if they have croutons in. :grin:
 
Yeah some ingredients I hate in soups. Especially carrots and some of the aforementioned lentils. But celery I love.
 
Also I'm really interested in trying GUMBO (America's national soup) but I'd probably have to go down south for that.

Can you have soup with a FORK? :eyes:


Because we always eat salmorejo at home with a fork; It's not a soup. God knows what they serve you as salmorejo, bless you, but please stop this blasphemy. Thank you.

I usually make it rather than be served it. In fact I don't remember the last time I saw it on a menu.

How do you make it to eat it with a fork - do you just not blend it so much, if at all?

Adding more bread. For 1kg. of tomatoes I add around 180-200 grs of bread (and 150 gr. olive oil). Fine if you like it less thick, but the real one should be able to be eating with a fork. I never saw anyone having salmorejo in a glass or drinking it, like you do with gazpacho; the real one has the texture of a cream. Then you can do it however you like it, but this is like when they serve those poor tourists "paella" with prawns and mussels. Yummy, but that's not paella 🤷‍♂️
