Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Hi Everyone, I've mostly been just a lurker here since I'm really just learning to cook. I have a question about spices for soups. I've made a few soups mostly vegetable/pasta or bean soups, and they never seem to have enough flavor. Can someone advise me what spices are best and approximately how much one would use? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 We use dried hot New Mexico red chile and Mexican oregano for bean soups, curry powder from Wild Oats (try it in split pea soup), peanut butter for root soups. Think about this...pour yourself a bowl, and try a small amount of whatever sounds good and taste it. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, or a bit of vinegar can really brighten up a soup right before serving. HTH Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ground, dry roasted peanuts are often added to soups and stews throughout Africa. This adds both taste and body. As well, for heavy soups, add several dashes of your favorite hot sauce. For bean soups, lots of garlic and onion.
