dihyrogen monoxide eh? I take it you just had a major chemistry test
Posted 2 years ago # -
Last chemistry test was a couple of years ago. Sorry dear. You're wrong. The reason I did that is so only those CR addicts can understand the recipe ;)
Posted 2 years ago # -
So you claim that CR addicts do not know the meaning of "water"?
Posted 2 years ago # -
NO! Only the addicts would understand that dihydrogen monoxide means....<drum roll> WATER!
Got it?Posted 2 years ago # -

Very easy, delicious recipe for Potato Soup (Can also be used for Pesach -
Saute 1 or 2 onions until transparent in small amount of vegetable oil. Peel & dice potatoes (as many as you want - the more potatoes, the more soup) and add to pot.
Optionally, add cleaned and trimmed cut up leek (again , as much as you want - experiment until you get it just the way you like it). Add cold water to cover. Bring to boil, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Salt & pepper to taste. It should taste peppery, but be careful not to put in too much pepper. Though this soup is great fresh, the next day (you'll have to add water), it's even better because the released potato starch thickens it.
Enjoy!!Posted 2 years ago # -
YehudisG: thank you, that sounds delicious!

Chicken soup (my family way):
4-6 chicken thighs
4-6 large cooking tomatoes
saltAdd all ingredients to a large pot (usually 8 qt). Fill near the brim with water. Boil for about 1.5 hours and then simmer for another 2-3 hours.

I roast a chicken (about 4 lbs) for Shabbos & use the carcass & leftover scraps to make a chicken broth. I add onions, carrots, celery, & about 10 cups of water, simmer for 1.5 hours, then strain it when it's done. You can skim the fat off after cooling if you'd like.

If you can find a way of making soup without water, please share that with us.

anon for this: "I roast a chicken (about 4 lbs) for Shabbos & use the carcass & leftover scraps to make a chicken broth."
You use the carcass after it's roasted? Can't be.Posted 2 years ago # -
cherrybim, why not?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Shtarky, if you dont mind tomatoes and peppers in your chulent, Jax has an excellant recipe!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Anon, I do the same with turkey carcass. Its awesome! We eat boiled chicken so I leave it in the soup and use that to make a different meal.
Posted 2 years ago # -
anon, do you use the carcass of the chicken or of someone who ate the chicken?
Really who uses the word carcass in reference to roasted meat?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Why would only CR readers understand dihydrogen monoxide? there are people, who don't read this site, who have fully functional brain capacity.
Posted 2 years ago # -
opp23, can't be.
Posted 2 years ago # -
By using bones that are already baked, do they really give that much more flavor, especially with 10 cups of water? And if the bird is 4 pounds, how much useable carcass do you have, a pound maybe?
And 1.5 hours of cooking for chicken just isn’t going to do it; seems more like a vegetable soup...but I'm sure it'd delicious.
Suggestion: remove bones first, put thick slices of onion, apple, orange into cavity to retain shape and give the chicken some nice flavor, make your soup with the raw bones and simmer for at least two hours, add vegetables for next 1-1.5 hours. You’ll get more chicken flavor and the vegetables will not be overcooked.
I usually cut away boney parts of chicken and meat and store them in the freezer until I'm ready to make soup. Also the mesh soup bags are fantastic.Posted 2 years ago # -
opp23,yes but if they are not CR denizens, they would not see the post the references therefore...
now take your bickering to the schmooze thead and leave this to the intellectual pursuit of attaining good soup recipes

Potato Soup Recipe
Brown diced onion in oil
Brown checked noodles (1 pkg) in separate pot
Cut 5 lg idaho potatoes into sixteenths and put into pot of 4-7 cups water w/salt & pepper to taste.
Add sizzling brown noodles to soup. (watch your face please, as steam will rise)
Put onions in a colander that can rest on top of the soup to add flavor.
Simmer for 30 mins or to taste.Posted 2 years ago # -
cherrybim, I roast the chicken with vegetables so I add any vegetables that are left over, along with the drippings from the roasting pan, & any scraps of chicken that are left on the bone when it is cut up. I got the idea for this from Joy of Cooking. It does cook out so I don't end up with 10 cups when I'm done (more like 8 cups, but I start with 10 cups to cover everything in the stockpot), and I assure you that it tastes like chicken broth, not vegetable soup (I strain out the vegetables & skim off the fat when it cools off). I think that the insides of the bones cook too, since the broth is sort of gel-like when it cools, so maybe this adds flavor too.
When I served this broth on pesach my mother, who was visiting, was amazed that I'd made it from chicken bones. And, according to my kids, she's a better cook than I am.
SJS, my mother makes soup that way, but I came up with this idea because I don't like boiled chicken. I've never cooked a whole turkey (they seem so intimidating), only turkey breast. Maybe the next time I cook one I'll try making soup from that.
azi, what word would you use?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I think the issue about the carcass was for those that dont know enough about cooking and think carcasses only have to do with dead people.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Anon, whole turkeys are awesome and easy! I just rub some basic spices on it, put potatoes on the bottom of the pan and roast for a while.
If you arent going to serve it right away, slightly undercook the turkey so that reheating won't overdry it.

mepal: if you like vegetable soup my sister has a very good orange (based on the color not contents!) soup.
recipe: take any orange vegetables (carrot, squash, pumpkin, etc.,) cook until soft (no real necessity for water). saute onions/garlic for spice. mush together (if soft enough with a fork) until you get a soupy texture (via the juices extracted from the vegetables).
eat and enjoy! (i have never actually tasted it but my father without knowing that there were vegetable in there that he didn't like said it was very good)Posted 2 years ago # -
mepal, I didn't think of that. "Carcass" is the term used in cookbooks. Usually the term for a dead human body is "corpse" or "cadaver" if you're a med student.
SJS, I've heard that it's tough to cook turkey so that the white meat & dark meat both cook evenly. You don't have that problem?
Posted 2 years ago # -
shtarky: sorry i would give you my father's/sister's recipes but there are 2 issues
1) i don't know the recipes that well
2) supposedly, secret ingredients that are only disclosed to my knowledge when a child gets married and is making the cholent themselvesso if you are willing to wait a couple of years i could help you then :_(

choose a very good soup pot, must be stainless steel. i prefer this be done on a gas range, but electric will do.
make sure there is a tight fitting lid.
prepare all ingredients ahead of time.now
take a piece of rye bread, must be fresh, and must be with seeds
lay it on the bottom of the pot
do not use Pam or any other oil.
place a generous portion of pastrami, nicely marbled with fat on the rye bread
sprinkle some plain yellow mustard on the pastrami.
place a second piece of ryebread on top of the pastrami.
remove all the ingredients from the pot being careful not to disturb their arrangement, and eat.
you can then cook any soup in the pot if youre still hungryPosted 2 years ago # -
You can always use poultry carcasses to make soup. In fact it is recommended to do so, in order to really recycle the entire chicken.
