Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 another one I try is to puree' mushrooms and maybe a potato or 2 add a bit of water now that is the base stock before I add all the other veggies to make soup chillies, pepper, coriander seeds (cilantro) cumin, basil, oregano,rosemary yum yum yum Craig Re: spices for soups? --- I use a lot of vegetables for soup stock. Also Basically we grow these so in the fall i make little " soup starter " packages and freeze them. Each contains: A small wedge of savoy cabbage, a leek, a piece of celery root or a stalk of celery, a parsnip and a carrot. Sometimes i add a turnip too, or put a turnip instead of the cabbage. I've also seen these in our supermarket sometimes. When i make soup, i start by cooking these along with some allspice and a bay leaf. Then i add all the other soup ingredients (depending on what the soup is)and sometimes other spices (basil, fresh parsley (the dried stuff to me has no flavor; it tastes like hay) marjoram, summer savory etc. But here it depends on the type of soup i'm making.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi and welcome I add lemon juice to soups containing beans or lentils, it really seems to give it the flavour kick it needs. It was in a recipe someone gave me for " ranch house soup " once and it was so good that now I put it in every time. Onions, garlic and tomatoes are in just about every soup I make, too. Basil is a big mainstay here because everyone likes it.. so are summer savory, thyme, and rosemary. If you use homemade broth, be sure to taste for enough salt in your soup (unless because of hypertension or other health issue someone can't have it).. insufficient salt will make the best effort taste bland. Good luck to you shazadi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
