/ck/ - Food & Cooking

in western europe, we have this distorted view of what chinese food is. this amalgamated into some sort of western/eastern style of cooking. I love "chinese tomato soup". I could share a recipe if you want, it's so great, it's thick, creamy, sweet, sour, it has chunks, it's so great

>>16088071
please do anon. always in the mood for a good soup!

For me it's roasted chicken, mushrooms, peas, ginger, celery and carrots...in a nice clear broth. Little brown rice makes it twice as nice.

my favorite to make is french onion because it gives me an excuse to also bake some fresh bread to top it with

>>16088081
since you're interested, i'll share my recipe, i hope you'll try it too.

-First boil a 2 liters of water with a cut orange, a stalk of celery,and perhaps two cut up apples; and two big pieces of ginger
-strain this mixture, this is your 'stock'
-remove the skins of multiple tomatoes, depends on how much soup you want to make ofc
-get most of the seeds out of the tomatoes, we want just the flesh
-blend all the tomato flesh super finely
-warm up butter or vegetable oil in a pan, make a roux with flour, a light rough, not colored
-add one ounce more or less of tomato concentrate to your roux, and keep stirring it for about a minute or two.
-add your stock made from step one ingredients, also add vinegar (whatever type you like) and sugar, to make it sweet and sour.
-add msg and salt to your liking
-add the tomato mixture now so it stays somewhat uncooked for flavor
-add whatever slivers of chicken, croutons, beef, whatever.
It should be sweet and sour, and you can add chili if you want. good luck anon

this is my reference, i do it without meat most of the time for convenience, but with my writings and the video you should be able to make it

>>16088061
In US terms, I love a good tomato basil soup. In more worldwide terms, Thai green curry is magical when done well. Taiwanese hot pot is pretty damned good, too.

I love the following:

Cream of broccoli and cheddar
New England clam chowder
Kielbasa and cabbage in a tomato broth
Carrot and coriander aka cilantro
Manhattan clam chowder
Potato, celery and bacon soup
Cream of tomato soup though has to have grilled cheese sandwiches.

>>16088214
>Cream of tomato soup though has to have grilled cheese sandwiches
This make pipi hard

>>16088246
I can't imagine a world without grilled cheese and tomato soup. I was fed it from the time I was weaned.

For me, it's the humble split pea and ham soup

>>16088262
Good choice

>>16088061
For me it's potato leek, really simple but absolutely excellent.

>>16088341
Based. Good soup choice, anon.

>>16088107
I've made french onion but now i really want to make it again and bake some bread to go with it.

>>16088061
My local diner makes these amazing creamy soups. I always just get their soup of the day whenever I'm in the mood for a hearty, comfy meal

>>16088354
French onion is a weird one, the ingredients and technique need to be on fleek because it's such a simple concept that it can easily taste like onions in water

>>16088061
I fucking love zuppa toscana. I don't care if it's not 'authentic' Italian or whatever. I got it for the first time at Olive Garden but I make my own now, much better with home ingredients.
>Creamy, warm, gentle spicy broth
>Delicious chunks of sausage and bacon
>Thinly sliced potato that just absorbs all that flavor
>Kale to freshen and lighten it up so it doesn't become monotonous

I don't know if you would include chili as a soup, but I love chili too.

>>16088448
>I don't know if you would include chili as a soup
If it requires a spoon, it's a soup. (*)

(With exceptions)

>>16088467
pudding is a soup

>>16088478
>>16088478
Your mom is a soup

>>16088429
It's really just patience, so many people try to rush caramelizing onions or cheat with sugar and shit, just keep fuckin stirring for as long as it takes.

>>16088486
yours is a vegetable

>>16088467
i ate a steak with a spoon once

based soupchads. Any good recipes on goulash?

If you don't use turnip and parsnip, you've fucked up an eternal dish. Just so you know, those are the 'rounders' of a dish. They add the complexity professional chefs look for.

I too enjoy soups. Here are some soups I have made and enjoy.

A very herb-y chicken noodle.

>>16088535
A more traditional chicken noodle.

>>16088541
And again more chicken noodle, but this time with ~fun noodles~

>>16088548
A navy bean, cauliflower, and spinach veggie soup.

>>16088553
A sloppa soup with whatever fuckin veggies I had that day, probably the same as above but minus beans and plus potatoes and tomato paste.

>>16088554
A sort of failed attempt at Albondigas. It was fine but honestly I don't think rice in meatballs is really a great cooking idea in the first place.

Y'all makin' me HONgry. Mmm MMM *smacks lips*

>>16088562
>rice in meatballs
I like it

>>16088562
I forgot to get a pic of the finished product for this one but it's potato leek soup, vichyssoise or however it's spelled. This is really one of my favorites but it's a pain in the ass to get good quality leeks here for some reason.

>>16088579
And lastly, my personal favorite way to have chili. Eat shit texans, this chili comes with 3 kinds of beans.

>>16088562
My mom usually makes them with no rice, but one time we visited relatives and they made the meatballs with a hard-boiled egg on the inside!

>>16088585
Addendum: I also make cream of mushroom from scratch all the time but I never take pictures because it looks ungodly, but it's so tasty. I use the leftovers to make green bean casserole the next day. Protip

>>16088591
Whoa, so they basically made scotch eggs and put them in the broth? Sounds pretty tasty. Maybe you've got some relatives from europe or something.

>>16088548
can you please make me some chicken noudle soup i am very deeply emotionally wounded and i feel as though a bowl of your chicken soup would heal me and warm up my heart so much i cried and gave you a hug

>>16088585
i’m from texas and like my chili the beaniest........ the texture and flavor they add is indespinsible to how good it is.. it wouldn’t taste or feel like a good whole chili without it... thank you..

I missed a few, here's some fuckin bomb-ass beef stew.

>>16088603
Gladly, come on over and get some any time.

And here's some not-quite-assembled french onion soup and sourdough croutons

>>16088608
I truly do not understand how anyone can prefer beanless chili. It completes the meal as far as I'm concerned. I take an extra step and add corn because I'm a madman.

>>16088613
gibs me dats

>>16088579
I love the color these leeks get when they first start cooking, it's beautiful.

>crush up dry sghetti until it's a bunch of small noodles
>boil til mostly done then drain
>cut up a hotdog (or kielbasa if im feeling fancy) and fry it
>toss with my sghetti noodles
>throw in some canned beans, corn, tomatoes, mix it all up
>if im feeling extra hungry, put in about half/third a can of wolf brand chili to thicken and beef up the soup
costs like $10 and i can make a big pot of it to eat on for 3 days

>>16088585
I'm born and raised in Texas. Beans and tomato chunks with the usual stuff in chili makes it a proper meal. Crushed Club crackers on top with a nice layer of Tabasco makes it perfect.

>>16088061
>soup
That's a bowl of melted cheese you retarded fat fuck.

>>16088585
Thats bean soup not chili

>>16088619
>I take an extra step and add corn because I'm a madman.
Then we can burn in chili hell together anon because I put fucking carrots in my chili.

>>16088703
Looks like beef stew
>inb4 "chili is beef stew"
I suppose it is

>>16088703
Ayyy, good on you lad. Carrots are super common in texmex cooking so I see no reason why they couldn't go in chili too, bet it's tasty.

how to make my chicken soup that uses store-bought chicken stock taste better?

>inb4 "don't use store-bought chickens stock, make your own homemade stock
i don't have the time for that, so i have to make do with store-bought stuff.

what is the FUCKING POINT of soups when you can fry something and eat it with cup of water? infinitely tastier

>>16088740
Next time, I am going to make carrot, corn and bean beef stew soup (chili)

>>16088759
So like, deep fried pizza soup?

>>16088061
How well does broccoli-cheese soup keep in the fridge?
I'm making picrel tomorrow.

>>16088519
Was this a reply to something specific, or just about soup in general? I feel like this is missing a sentence or something.

>>16088820
Yea it seems like he's generalizing that turnip or parsnip should be added to absolutely every soup, which is retarded. It should be added to every chicken noodle soup though.

Stew is superior to soup.

>>16088519
>>16088838
what does turnip and parsnip taste like?

>>16089172
Can't speak for turnips but parsnips are basically carrots dosed with nutmeg

>>16089146
there is no fundamental difference

is a stew a soup?

>>16088186
Seems like its worth a shot.
Thanks for the link, anon

Soupe a l'oignon est le paroxysme de la cuisine.

>>16088061
Chinese chicken, egg, corn and mushroom soup, and mushroom cream soup

>>16088061
I always love making creamy and french onion soups

>>16089146
>thick soup is superior to thin soup
Sure thing, pal.

>>16088669
>I'm born and raised in Texas.
That explains the mental retardation.

>>16088061
Turkey wild rice is the GOAT

>>16088585
That isn't chili

>>16088448
Fuck that sounds good anon

>>16089173
turnips are basically big radishes. Think crisp red delicious apple in texture, mildly bitter flavor. Very mild. They don't taste like much.

Cream of mushroom soup

The trick is to heavily brown at least 5lb of several types of mushrooms in batches

>>16088262
Just made this from scratch for the first time in my life with leftover Easter ham, holy shit it was amazing

>>16088061
I make soup so I can have vegetable intake to take shits. I eat McDonald's twice a day (breakfast and lunch) so I have very bad shits. So throwing a bunch of whatever broccoli, carrots, bokchoi and other shit I buy into the pot with a bullion cube gives me the fiber intake that I need to have something resembling proper shits.

pic related, I googled "vegetable soup" and mine looks pretty much like that

Pasta e fagioli. Really any white bean soup is great.
I make pasta and chickpeas more than any other soup just cause it's very quick and easy.

Maryland crab soup

>>16091020
>mine looks pretty much like that
I'm so sorry.

>>16091020
Try Russian vegetable soup. It's just cabbage and shit but you add a little sour cream and dill to the bowl

>>16090983
Mushroom soup is absolutely awesome. I like mine with plenty of allspice for flavoring. And good preferably freshly baked bread.

Heston actually has a good basic mushroom soup recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QBbOPu_XDg

>>16091286
Oh, if you fell for the vitamix meme, one of the few very good uses of it is with soup.

When I do mushroom soup, I use a shitload of mushrooms and toward the end I remove about 1/3 of them and puree the mushrooms totally smooth with some sock/cream in the vitamix, then re-add it to the pot. It makes the soup a lot more creamy and adds an awesome depth.

>>16091307
i dont have a blender, but the recipe is very basic and you can just use a stick blender like i do

>>16088061
I fucking HATE soup it makes you sweat and it's hot and I fucking despise it, any soup or stew for that matter, fucking hate steaming food why serve something you can't even put in your fucking mouth, same with extremely cold stuff, I always let it come to room temperature

>>16091430
Try a cold gazpacho

Holy shit
I love pea soup with sausage and pork ribs
Just grab dried pea soups
Put it in a pressure cooker with the pork ribs and sliced calabresa sausage
Fill it with water and let it cook on pressure on low hit for about 20 minutes.
Open and mix everything to see if the pea dissolved, if not, let it cook a little bit more (watch out for it to not burn)
After that its ready to it!
If you use smoked/salted pork ribs, you wont even need to put salt on the soup
It taste amazing!
My favorite

>>16091430
Calm down, Anakin. It's soup, not sand.

>>16088071
I make an egg drop soup with tomatoes and spinach in it that's really good.

>>16091454
One of the world's great foods. It's a shame that garden peas have taken over in so many places, because I think the mature peas really taste better.

Soup makes me irrationally angry because it doesn’t fill me up. The only thing good about eating soup is the bread that comes with it or the toasted cheese dipped in tomato soup DESU

>make any soup
>blend it, put it through a sif
>serve with sour cream and seeds

Yeah well I don't have to know where you come from to know your gay.

anyone have any good chili recipes theyd recomend?

>>16088061
I was on a potato soup kick for a week sometime ago. Had lobster bisque for the first time before that. Soup is okay I guess. You've gotta have a mindset for it though. I'd love to try one of those soup bread bowls sometime.

for me, its black bean soup

>>16091128
I make this but add chicken to it. It's good as fuck.

>>16088797
Everything you put into the fridge will keep longer if you properly chill it first, assuming you are making this at home, don't just chuck the whole pot of soup in the fridge when u are done. Separate it into containers, pop it them in the freezer for maybe 5-10 to cool down,.
Place back in fridge and tightly cover.

>>16090983
>heavily brown
This person knows what they are talking about. Most people who say they don't like mushrooms have most likely never tasted the intense flavor that this produces.

>>16089251
It can be. Stews that are watery are soups. Stews that are thick and rich are essentially a kind of ragout, not soup.

For me, its hot and sour soup

>>16092931
wonton soup a good

>>16088585
Just call it bean soup anon. It's got corn, sour cream and some honestly bad looking biscuits. Chili is a different product.

>>16088535
based soup anon

>>16088061
i make my own version of The Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. Everyone who tastes it loves it.

Difference between broth, stock, soup and stew?

>>16088749
Make sure you're adding enough thyme and aromatic veggies, and try adding a splash of lemon juice or a squeeze of tomato paste to add acidity.

>>16090943
>>16092980
You're asshurt only makes me stronger.

Any soups or stews are good to me but cream soups are my ultimate favorites. Cream of broccoli, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom... so good.

Waterzooie is an excellent, rich cream of chicken soup from Belgium. My recommendation is to use an heirloom carrot and make sure to julienne it, strong carrot aroma is what really sets waterzooie apart.

Seafood based soups are really good, can’t go wrong. My mom makes a catfish soup with veggies that is really healthy. I’m also really into clam chowder and lobster bisque. You anons got any other seafood soups?

>>16093586
The absolute best soup in the world is clam chowder

>>16089172
Parsnips are root veggies similar to carrots but less sweet and sharper

>>16091035
Such a terrible soup. I was so disappointed when I tried it.

>>16092166
You can do whatever you want just add more cumin than you think you’d need and some Worcestershire

>>16093670
I do like a highly cuminous chili.

>>16093491
I'd recommend finely grating some lemongrass into it, accomplishes the same thing and adds some interesting subtle flavors. if you use a microplane it essentially turns into a paste

>>16088820
Not OP, but I make one with turnip, parsnip, potato, carrot, celery, stew meat chunks browned in olive oil with garlic, half chicken/half vegetable broth. Simmer for an afternoon with some bay leaf. Remove bay leaves, finish with some fresh oregano and a drizzle of olive oil (salt to taste throughout)

>>16091520
i'll fill u up bby

>>16093641
>clam chowder
>no distinction between Manhattan showdair and New England chowdah
Opinion disregarded.

>>16094009
manhattan chowder may as well not even exist in comparison to the only good clam chowder
there is your distinction

>>16094035
>t.tastelet

>>16088703
i don't mind it, but once carrots enter the picture i can't call it chili. the flavor is just too different.

guys lookit, babby's first tom kha soup

i didn't even have a lot of the peripheral ingredients but i had all the core ingredients and made it on a whim after work tonight and damn it's nearly restaurant quality. now that i have the confidence i can make it i won't mind buying the tomatoes, lemongrass, cilantro, etc

sorry for shitty pic, it has mushrooms, bok choy, chicken, and onion in it

>>16088061
Not a soup guy gonna be honest watching the waist line so I would just have a side salad.

>>16093415
Yeah somebody answer this. I only know that a broth is something prepared in meat.

>>16088061
And question to the OP. have you ever tasted the indian dish "Sambar". Basically soup heaven.

now i want to cook a canned soup

>>16088061
Pumpkin soup. God I love pumpkin soup. With a great big dollop of sour cream, and chives chopped up to garnish.

One of the first things I asked my mother to teach me to make because I always wanted it as a kid and we rarely got it. Now I make myself a nice big pot or two a year, and now with my own grown pumpkins.

I used to try to throw soup parties, where I’d make a lot of soup and invite coworkers over.
Only one ever came and she said it was uncomfortable how I watched her eat my soup.
Now I just make soup for myself.

>>16093592

>>16088608

Beans in chili add nothing. Detracts from the overall texture and makes ruins it as a topping for fries, hot dogs, and burgers.

Good post. Fuck beans

leftover roast chicken soup

CHICKpea noodle soup

I fucking love soup and its probably the type of food I eat and prepare the most because I enjoy the comfy warmth I get from them.

I like to make tortellini en brodo-- I add garlic, celery, onion, carrots and then some extra veggies to clean the fridge (like spinach, even mushrooms or whatever I have, i don't really care if that ain't traditional but I can eat more veggies and less food goes to waste) to a pot with some melted butter to brown the veggies a bit, and then add homemade chicken stock I have frozen.

I cook the tortellini in the soup so you gotta add a lot of broth and water because the pasta will soak everything up. I add spices (cumin, salt, pepper, nutmeg) and then when serving I add Parmesan cheese. Its a very inexpensive, comfy meal specially in winter.

750 ml vegetable stock
150 grams of peas
300 grams of spinach leaf
150 grams of small broccoli florets
3 spring onions finely cut into rings
Sea salt

The soup is extra tasty with toppings!
Check out the suggestions below

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the leek rings, garlic and curry powder in it over medium heat, until the leek is translucent and bright green.

2. Stir in the riced cauliflower and potato cubes and stir them for a while.

3. Deglaze with the coconut milk, bring to the boil and add the stock. Leave the soup now,
without a lid, simmer for 20 minutes until the potato is soft and cuts with a wooden spoon.

>>16088061
My usual is "The bag of scraps is full" soup... there's a bag of veggie peels and ends, and a bag of assorted meat bones, and they usually get roasted with some mirepoix, simmered in a pot for an hour, then seasoned.

I'm overdue on borshch, maybe with some sour-cherry and cheese potstickers.

>>16091520
Have you tried simply eating more soup?

>>16088585
I know a guy from Texas and he puts beans in his chili.

I made a very shitty soup from leftover steak, baby carrots, a white onion, beef bullion, various spices and crushed up instant noodles. Putting in the star anise pod while it simmered was a bit too much but this was basically an experimental write off anyway.

>>16088061
>What soups does /ck/ enjoy?

/ck/ turned me onto Campbell’s pub style chicken pot pie soup but I also like their New England clam chowder and potato ham chowder.

>>16095987
Correct. Chili does not require filler. It's fine to have some beans or rice or corn chips served next to or on your chili, but there is no reason to dilute the chili itself.

>>16088061
i like poo and pee soup

>>16088061

I like Polish zur or zurek soup and there used to a tiny Polish restaurant nearby run by a couple of q.t. immigrant sisters but once day I stopped by to get some food, and there was a hand written note on the door saying “out of business”...

Planning on making poatato-leek soup in my pressure cooker soon.

Any tips or suggestions for potato-leek soup in general?

>>16095837
Check out New York times' recipe, by who else but Julia Child.

>>16095987

>>16099527

Wrong. Chili is a ancient Mesoamerican stew that always contains tomatoes, chili peppers and BEANS but may or may not contain some kinda meat.

Chili without beans is simply not chili.

>>16099572
It's generally accepted in North America that "chili" is synonymous with "chili con carne." You can play dumb and pretend you don't know better, but literally everyone else posting in this thread is talking about a meat dish.

>>16099559
There's not much to tell as it's a relatively simple soup, just he sure to wash the fuck out of your leeks, I wash them before and after I chop them. And I've had better results with an immersion blender than a regular one, came out smoother and creamier.

>>16088061
I like a nice cream of broccoli me

>>16099623
Good to know about double-washing. I've never cooked with leeks before, but I've heard they can hide lots of little of grit particles in the folds that can be hard to completely remove.
Also interesting note about the immersion blender. I have one, so I'll try using that.

My grandmother's potato and dumpling soup. It's fucking amazing

>>16099776
>I've heard they can hide lots of little of grit particles in the folds
That's true. It's also true of bok choy. I've found plenty of dead bugs and soil when breaking open and rinsing that stuff.

>>16088061
I live in Hungary and we make soups every week. Some of my favs are
>regular veggie and meat soup, bonus if there's a bone in there with marrow. eat it on toasted bread with salt and paprika, then have the soup. amazing.
>minestrone with 10 different veggies
>wild meat ragu soup with tarragon
>mushroom soup with paprika
>white asparagus/celery root cream soup
>cauliflower soup
>frankfurter soup
but there are just my favourites

>>16088061
For me it's Markklöschensuppe. A beef stew with dumplings made of bone marrow. You can add noodles and chunks of beef if you want.

>>16100677
>frankfurter soup
Gonna need some more information here. Is this hot dogs in some sort of broth?

>>16101481
we call it frankfurter because of the hot dogs yeah, maybe it doesnt even exist in germany but it's really tasty. you cut up the hotdogs, then do a borth with onion, garlic, kale and some small pieces of potato. then paprika, marjoram, cumin and lots of pepper, serving it with sour cream. it's a perfect winter soup

>>16100677
>>16101481
>>16101552
using wiener or debreziner or other sausages in soups and stews is very common in germany

>>16101591
>>16101552
That sounds pretty OK. Would definitely try.

Was afraid it was more like pic related.

That looks like one of those "low sodium" Progresso canned soups. Bleh..

>>16088071
funny, sort of reminds me of Hong Kong Borscht Soup. It's basically a tomato vegetable soup but has it's roots in russian immigrants in HK subbing tomato for beet.

>>16099608
So, basically...chilli WITH meat? So if original chilli contained tomatoes, beans, and tomatoes...then that means that meat was never apart of the original recipe hence 'con carne' part?!

So if that's the case then >>16099572 is correct. The beans not being in the chilli must be a some kind of European invention. Why they decided to leave out the beans...I don't know.

I'll contribute my cultures soup, and my absolute fave, thukpa

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

fucking hell, this thread is still going after 2 days? excellent.

A few times every summer I do a big shellfish boil/steam. Crabs, clams, oysters, lobster, shrimp. All of the shells and leftover steaming water gets boiled to reduce a lot, seasoned, strained, and becomes an amazing seafood soup base. That eventually ends up being mixed in with some roux and cream to made an amazing seafood bisque. I don't have a recipe because I make it up each time based on the leftovers and whatever else I have at the time. But the secret is always using all those crab, lobster, and shrimp shells boiling in a lot of water and reducing.

I want to make this right now.

looks disgustingly greasy

Got a lentil soup recipe from somewhere I can't remember, but it's my favourite

Chop up and fry 4-5 rashers of bacon until the fat renders
Add a fine diced onion and as much pasted garlic as you want, I use 5 or 6 cloves, sauté them until they're translucent
Add 500g lentils, puy work best, and stir it until they're coated in grease
Add a cup of wine and some chopped rosemary and thyme and boil it for 5 minutes
Add 10 cups of liquid, mostly meat stock, some can be replaced with water
Turn the element down and cover it
Boil it until the lentils are just starting to disintegrate and the soup is thickening
Just need some nice bread on the side and maybe some pepper and olive oil on top to serve
I slow cook large quantities of meat and freeze it in portions, and this is the best way to use up all the stock I get out of it

I have pho twice a week

Pho

You will get fat now. Very fat indeed.

stews are thick. If the liquid can coat the back of a spoon you have a stew

>>16106520
look at this stew

>>16106520
look, it's more stew!

>>16098505
Wouldn't that make him more hungry?

When I’m cutting I make a light chili with lean beef and shredded carrots and zucchini. Carrots add some sweetness and texture, zucchini kind of melts into a paste that thickens up the chili. Beans too of course, and chipotles/poblanos. It’s not my best dish but tasty enough and a huge bowl is like 400 calories.

>>16092931
Based. There is no single soup that is better when you’re sick. Very easy to make too, no special ingredients.

Soup is the worst food
>water
>oil
>chunks of stuff you can just eat on a plate
>sodium
>slurp like a faggot

>>16097933
Ok, I ate the soup. Delicious.
Last years soup was created by a 3 star chef (pr), so it must have been a steep hill.
Only point of criticism perhaps:
>1 tablespoon curry powder
is doing all the work.

ur mom's soup

>Go to Olive Garden with family
>everything is mediocre, except for the pasta fagioli soup
>try making it at home, turns out horrible
Anybody know a good recipe?

>>16107912
>pasta fagioli soup
It tastes great because its made from last days leftovers.

I had beef barley soup at a local restaurant the other week and it was great, and that's coming from someone who doesn't like beef all that much

>>16107912
stuff they take back from tables?
yeah, that goes in too

>>16107928

An epic eceleb told me about your mom.

what do you like to add to your miso soup? I've been having it for breakfast and it's nice but I feel like it needs something sumptuous. Don't like tofu in it.

> It's generally accepted in North America that "chili" is synonymous with "chili con carne."

The term "chili con carne" was concocted by White people hundreds of years after real chili (with beans) had long been a staple of food of native Mesoamericans.

>>16103583
> then that means that meat was never apart of the original recipe hence 'con carne' part?!

Meat was optional and poor Mesoamericans would only include it if they could get some but tomatoes, chili peppers and beans were always a part of the recipe.

ive read that proper stock takes 4-8 hours of low simmer, but i also watched a gordon ramsay vid saying he boils it for 30 minutes and that gets the majority of the flavor?? which one is it

>>16109472
Are you sure he's not using a pressure cooker? Pressure cooker stock takes a lot less time to get the same flavor, otherwise he's just being a hack.

>>16108386
mushrooms are always a good choice. The Japanese supermarket near me always always has good maitake.

>>16108386
crab or clams are also pretty good too.

>>16109472
Fish stock only needs about 30 minutes. Other stocks need more time depending on the bones and the reduction. Any vegetables won't need that long at all.

>>16088635
They smell good at this point as well...

I knew it was dutch from the ingredients. You didn't really leave an opening to make fun of you but it doesn't mater /ck/ is fattass central and even though you guys are stoner food central you do it right so bring on the wierd inclusions of apples, it's objectively delisious.

A traditional Ham and Potato, or Split Pea. God tier food

You can make it yourself if you have a euro market that stocks the appropriate soup mix and right type of sausage.
