Soup!

[Region3]

Are there secrets to making a good soup, or is it just a case of Googling a recipe?

95% of all good cooking is good shopping. We're lucky enough to live next to a farm that sells home grown veggies and we have an excellent butcher not far away too. Get a ham bone from the butcher for 50p and a couple of quids worth of veggies and herbs from the farm and I've got excellent soup.

I'm eating it with black pepper ryvitas and I'm convincing myself that they're nice

I don't like tomato

Only good thing that came out of it (and I wouldn't recommended it to anyone) was that my grip was much lighter during the golfing trip and swinging was a lot easier, helping my game no end.


.... OK the pain killers and lots of alcohol probably helped a great deal too

croutons. leave a ciabatta or crusty roll oncovered (but maybe in the bread bin) for a day or two, dice, toast or shallow fry. if it's a really thick or chunky soup, a soft white bread roll.

I wonder if you could replace the oatcake with a buttery? Oatcakes are ace.

I make a nice butternut squash soup, with a few curry spices. Topped with fried onions and mushrooms, served with homemade toasted sourdough, slathered in hoummus.... delish. :thup:

Am I the only one with a good set of gnashers?

Only trouble living doon here is getting a proper Hock,these Sassanachs cannae make soup.

That's a viscious slander


Saindbury's do a very nice own brand Hock


I prefer an Alsace Riesling myself however, but they still do Blue Nun and White Tower as well to go with your soup if you're that way inclined

If you enjoy making home made soups then this is the book for you. Some absolute bobby dazzlers and they can be frozen for a couple of months too http://www.amazon.co.uk/Soup-Every-...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1326233201&sr=1-1

As a trained Sommelier and I think you will find it is Black Tower , unless White Tower is a limited edition import........love a drop of Liebframwilch with my soup as well :thup:

I think you're the only one that isn't on a post-Christmas diet.

No

But you can take yours out at night, and pop them in a jar.

A thread that discusses favourite soups? This really supports the view of golf being an old man's sport. Next thing you know there'll be a thread to ask for slipper recommendations.
