Soup
Once you’ve mastered making a basic soup, you’ll always be able to whip up a satisfying bowlful in no time at all.
Soup is so simple to make – and the variations are endless. For a basic vegetable soup, cook the veg on the hob, roast them in the oven or use leftovers. Then add stock, blitz in a blender and heat through.
Very the soup easily by adding cooked orzo pasta or rice, add cannellini beans, cooked meatballs or bacon, or a dollop of mascarpone.

Roasted tomato and pepper soup
Roasting the peppers and tomatoes concentrates the flavours.
2 red peppers
1 red onion
1 peeled baking potato, thickly sliced
1tbsp olive oil
700g vine-ripened tomatoes, halved
600ml vegetable stock
4-6 basil
100 crème fraiche
1. Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the peppers (deseeded and quartered) onion (cut into wedges) and potato into a bowl with the oil and toss to coat. Spread out in a large roasting.
2. Put the tomatoes on the baking tray, cut side up. Roast all the vegetables in the oven for 40-45 minutes until tender and tinged brown at the edges.
3. Put the roasted vegetables in a saucepan, add half of the vegetable stock and basil, then puree with a hand blender or processor. Add the rest of the stock and heat through.
4. Add a swirl of crème fraiche to each bowl before serving.
In a separate bowl cut the large scallions and half medium cabbage to small pieces. Peel and chop the potato, malanga, carrots, turnip, yam and the butter squash. Wash the vegetables and put in a separate boiling water. Cover it and cook it in high heat for an hour. After an hour reduce the heat and add scotch bonnet pepper. Once everything is fully cooked remove it from the pot. Used the cooking water to blend the squash into a puree. For the best flavor pour the vegetables, the squash and the cooking liquid into the pot that cooked the meat. After that add parsley, thyme, and broken spaghetti. If there’s no spaghetti, you can substitute with macaroni. Let them all cook for about an hour or until tender. Once done combine meat with soup and enjoy. You can eat this soup with bread has a side dish.
Once you have everything that is needed, you can begin to prepare the dish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the large mixing bowl and pour the sour cream and the can of mushroom soup into it. I use one can of Campbell's mushroom soup. You can use the off-brand mushroom soup to cut costs if you wish. The end result will be about the same. I also prefer to use fat free sour cream to make it lighter. However, any sour cream would work. You will need eight ounces of sour cream. Stir the sour cream and soup together, and they will blend into a sort of cream sauce. If it is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it. The sauce should slowly drizzle off of the spoon. You also need to prepare the beef. It is totally dependent on your preference as to how much beef you should use. I tend to use about two pounds of lean hamburger. ...
The next step is to cook the ground beef. Use a large skillet, and put it over a stove. Pour the olive oil onto the pan in high heat. Once the olive oil is sizzling, add the onions, leek, and garlic onto the skillet. Keep on stirring until the onions are transparen...
The last step of this recipe is waiting. The master pot should be left on low heat for about one hour and a half to two hours while stirring consistently to prevent sticking or burning to the edges of the pan. The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative. The end result is always a happy mouth and a taste of mexican heritage itself. Enjoy.

Women volunteered to work in the soup kitchens that served their communities, improvising cheap recipes for soups that made use of any available local products. Vegetables, boiled together in water, made up the bulk of the soups and stews that were served. As the numbers of people arriving at the kitchens increased more water had to be added to the stews and their nutrition value declined. The soups and stews were cooked in large pots (american-historama.org).
The utensils needed are a large skillet and some cooking oil of preference. The traditional oil used is vegetable oil because when the tortilla is dipped into the sauce and placed in the skillet with the oil, in the moment of frying the sauce is going to get an amazing drizzling salivating flavor of the vegetable oil, making it ten times better. Once all the utensils are gathered turn on your stove to the highest temperature so the skillet can be warm enough. By this time the sauce ingredients must be nice and blended by a blender and ready for a tortilla to be dipped in. The same goes for the filling, the potatoes and carrots must be boiled, chopped up and friend in a skillet. Once all the ingredients are ready to go, add around half a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, make sure it is hot before adding the tortilla because if it is not the tortilla will be soggy, drenched in oil, and not come out the same. When the oil and skillet are nice and hot grave a tortilla and dip it in some of the sauce and gently lay the tortilla in the skillet allowing it to cook properly. Each side of the tortilla will take about 15 seconds to cook. When the 15 seconds have passed flip the tortilla and add a small scoop of potato and carrot filling, in another bowl the scallions and queso fresco should be ready, so add about a scoop as well. After adding the filling grave a spatula and close the
Even though I still curl my lip at the "Easter soup" (a vile concoction of vinegar and curdled milk that's sure to trigger acid reflux), I realize that it is a valuable skill to be able to cook for yourself. To be able to cook something that you like is to have the entire culinary world in the palm of your hand. After taking cooking lessons for the first time in third grade, I was constantly on the search for new recipes. I cooked anything that sounded good--Italian food, Korean food, French food, but certainly not Polish food!

That very first time, in anger I threw the potato soup at my older sister then crawled like a spider underneath the table whining and crying. I was hungry. Mother said there would be no soup for me but filled my sister’s bowl a second time. They sat and ate and laughed. I crawled further into myself and listened to my sister’s slurps and smacks of her lips and her mouth-filled voice tanting me. “It’s good—so good.”
Oh, it’s tripe soup. It’s pretty good if you wash the intestines a couple times through.”
