What a bold claim. I’m always exited to hear/taste/speak about soup.
What’s your favorite soup?
Also these days I’m curious about brocoli and cheese soup. I should make one before it is too warm.
It’s good. Just be careful to not oversalt it.
I used to make traditional German lentil soup (Linseneintopf) from freeze dried soup mix. When they discontinued that product, I was really bummed. Since then I’ve learned to make my own and it’s so much better, it’s unbelievable.
it’s so much better, it’s unbelievable.
Don’t leave us hanging. What’s your recipe?
Alright, here you go. This is not very precise so use your own discretion.
Dice two large onions. Fry in oil until lightly brown. Add 200 gr of diced bacon. Add 200 gr of diced celery root
Add 300 gr. of diced carrots. Add 200 gr. of chopped leek Fry for a while, stirring continuously
Add half a liter of water
Add 2 table spoons of vegetable broth
Add a can of brown lentils
Simmer for about 30 minutes
Add water as needed
Add a few tablespoons of chopped parsley
Add salt, pepper, pimento, paprika, and whatever else. takes your fancy.
Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial).That should about do it. All quantities are suggestions. This is very much a make it up as you go along kind of thing.
Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial).
Well… Your soup doesn’t have any kind of acid. Not even tomatoes and if one thing need acidic balance it is lentils.
Suggestions?
Fresh squeezed lemon right at the end, when you’re turning off the heat
I want soup so fucking bad rn
Pepe has clearly made a potato leek soup variant and thus his emotions are objectively correct
Those salty tears, now it’s perfect.
You have no idea how stoked I am for soup
My neighbor’s coworkers cousin once brought me a bowl of soup while I was at the beach with my family on a really windy day. By the time he handed me the bowl of soup it was nothing but a bowl of sand. I ate it anyway out of politeness but I ended up falling asleep after and woke up in ancient Egypt. I’m still stuck here and my family is still at the beach. I’m never eating a bowl of sand again.

He’s now 4000 years old. He had to bide his time until Lemmy came into existence.
When I cook for my wife’s family, I get endless, sincere praise. They tell me it’s the greatest soup they’ve ever had. They ask for recipes. The next day they sheepishly ask if they can eat the rest of the leftovers.
When I cook for my side of the family: nothing. Crickets. Which is even more odd to me since my mom never met a seasoning. Period. She does not season her cooking. One time she was tipping over a jar of Italian seasoning just to let it look at the meatballs, and she accidentally spilled some in, and everyone told her it was the best meatballs she ever made.
But I provide a flavorful, well-prepared soup, and at best I get: “Well it turns out I didn’t mind black beans this one time, but I still hate them.”
Exactly the same. They are genuinely excited and my side of the family goes: soup? We’re not sick…
I dont think that is odd actually. Food just does not have a high status on your side of the family. It is something you do to avoid dying and not something you do to enjoy.
When you make them nice food it is just the same as the bad food on the “gives me nutients” scale. The taste/enjoyment scale is never used to rate your food.
I made soup just the other day. It was a pretty bangin loaded potato soup.
I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.
A little potato makes for a pretty good thickener in a soup.
