Talking Of Making Soup......

[Tilly2]

On Thursday, I made some Carrot and Coriander soup. I overdid it with the ground coriander as there was a lot of it after I had finished grinding the seeds.

It made my eyeballs sweat!

Hi Tilly - friend was talking about soup at the beginning of week so I made my vegetable soup and sent her a pot.

She said it was delicious and irony taste - I didn't tell her that I couldn't get green leeks (they were too white) so I used Kale cabbage and must say it was delicious.

[Tilly2]

Well done, jj. I put some kale in a soup last week. That was lovely, too

Have loads frozen but friend has said her daughter loves my soup so will give her a few bags - very fond of the daughter.

[Tilly2]

Guillie, thanks for that recipe. I shall try it at the weekend.

[Tilly2]

Jj, it's nice when someone appreciates your efforts.

I am not too fond of tinned soups, however my neighbour told me about Lidl Scotch Broth - make Newgate - as near to homemade soup as you will ever get - especially with having the boiled peas. Nice.

[Tilly2]

Give me a clue as to where to look, shoots.

[jennyjoan]

what is the difference between soup and chowder - that gives me puzzlement LOL

[Tilly2]

Thank you, shoota.

@jenny... also, what is the difference between soup and broth?

[Mamyalynne]

In the main Chowders have cream and or milk added and are richer and thicker than most soups.

[jennyjoan]

thanks Mamy - believe it or now I always associated Fish with Chowder - that is why I would never order it.

[Mamyalynne]

Broth is really another name for Stock, made by boiling bones etc - however it has also become synonymous with soup as a sort of soup often with chunks of veg etc, within.

[jennyjoan]

Orbiter - don't know.

[jennyjoan]

Oh Mamy has given you an answer

[Mamyalynne]

You're right that seafood does lent itself well to a Bisque or Chowder but it doesn't have to be an ingredient.

[Mamyalynne]

I think trying to narrow these terms down is a little pointless because as time moves on things shift.


A bit like saying, what is a sandwich - when I was a child it was two slices of bread with a filling, now the choice is endless.

[Tilly2]

Clam chowder is scrummy.
