I used to make traditional German lentil soup (Linseneintopf) from freeze dried soup mix. When they discontinued that product, I was really bummed. Since then I’ve learned to make my own and it’s so much better, it’s unbelievable.

Don’t leave us hanging. What’s your recipe?
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Alright, here you go. This is not very precise so use your own discretion.
Dice two large onions. Fry in oil until lightly brown. Add 200 gr of diced bacon. Add 200 gr of diced celery root Add 300 gr. of diced carrots Add 200 gr. of chopped leek Fry for a while, stirring continuously Add half a liter of water Add 2 table spoons of vegetable broth Add a can of brown lentils Simmer for about 30 minutes Add water as needed Add a few tablespoons of chopped parsley Add salt, pepper, pimento, paprika, and whatever else takes your fancy Add a tablespoon of balsamico vinegar (this may be a bit controversial)
That should about do it. All quantities are suggestions. This is very much a make it up as you go along kind of thing.

The problem is that you made a special stew. It’s a stew that blinds someone, but only for a day.

My neighbor’s coworkers cousin once brought me a bowl of soup while I was at the beach with my family on a really windy day. By the time he handed me the bowl of soup it was nothing but a bowl of sand. I ate it anyway out of politeness but I ended up falling asleep after and woke up in ancient Egypt. I’m still stuck here and my family is still at the beach. I’m never eating a bowl of sand again.

I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A little potato makes for a pretty good thickener in a soup.
faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Potato soup is just mashed potatoes with too much water, fight me.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m ready. Right here right now.
A proper potato soup has nice spoon sized pieces of potato, celery, (and make sure you get some of the fresh celery leaves in there), onion, garlic, and carrot. And a not inconsiderable amount of bacon. (Pro Tip: Buy the cheaper bacon ends and trimmings for things like soups. They tend to be smokier and more bacon flavored). And for added flavor, tarragon and cilantro and black pepper.
Thicken the soup by making a rue with butter and flour, dissolve in a cup of heavy cream, as that thickens a bit, add it to your soup to thicken the soup. Blend about half the soup to get that smooth creamy texture. And only takes about an hour start to finish.
Beats anything you will ever get out of a can or restaurant.
Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Yes that plus sour cream, ham, bacon, onion, garlic, corn, cheese, and chunks of potato.

When I cook for my wife’s family, I get endless, sincere praise. They tell me it’s the greatest soup they’ve ever had. They ask for recipes. The next day they sheepishly ask if they can eat the rest of the leftovers.
When I cook for my side of the family: nothing. Crickets. Which is even more odd to me since my mom never met a seasoning. Period. She does not season her cooking. One time she was tipping over a jar of Italian seasoning just to let it look at the meatballs, and she accidentally spilled some in, and everyone told her it was the best meatballs she ever made.
But I provide a flavorful, well-prepared soup, and at best I get: “Well it turns out I didn’t mind black beans this one time, but I still hate them.”
groet@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
I dont think that is odd actually. Food just does not have a high status on your side of the family. It is something you do to avoid dying and not something you do to enjoy.
When you make them nice food it is just the same as the bad food on the “gives me nutients” scale. The taste/enjoyment scale is never used to rate your food.
FatVegan@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
Exactly the same. They are genuinely excited and my side of the family goes: soup? We’re not sick…

Pepe has clearly made a potato leek soup variant and thus his emotions are objectively correct

I may or may not love the soup itself, but I love that you tried, and that you offer it as a gift.

What a bold claim. I’m always exited to hear/taste/speak about soup.
Janx@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
What’s your favorite soup?
pseudo@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
Also these days I’m curious about brocoli and cheese soup. I should make one before it is too warm.
pseudo@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
Hard choice. I don’t have a favorite but I love instant minestrone as a quick warming meal. Anything packed with chicken bouillon is perfect for winter and sickness. I really like velouté especially ones with leaks or mushrooms (or both) but one that taste like home to me is a pumpking velouté thikens with rice. I also love hrira and chorba but anytimes people start talking them people fight for the sake of their recipe so I’ll rather change subject.
What about you? Do you have a clear favorite?
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’m in the Navy. 1000 soup has sometimes been the only thing standing between me and the looming precipice of total mental breakdown. Hell yeah I get excited about it.
ikidd@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s soup. How excited can you really get about soup?
moakley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve had two different people tell me that my chicken soup is the greatest soup they’ve ever eaten. If you’re not getting excited about soup, go and find better soup.
varyingExpertise@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
The right soup at the right time: Very.
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A lot actually. A good home made soup can bring not only great flavors, but textures and even comfort on a bad day. And they can be an inexpensive one pot meal that’s fast and easy to make.
And the potato soup I made for supper yesterday, evidently contains anti-depresseants.
AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Once you’ve prepared a really good soup from scratch you appreciate how much effort really goes into all of the subtle flavors. Like a can of soup ain’t shit, but when you peel and chop your own ginger, add chilli and lime, and that’s just the base of the soup before you start adding other things, you’ll get it.
Especially if you’re eating it while getting over a cold, and it’s the first thing you really taste in days.

Idk there’s some pretty boring soups out there that are mostly water.
But there can be delicious nutritious thick creamy soups too.
SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
You’ve clearly never had a truly great soup
ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Maybe because one of the ingredients is, apparently, frog drool
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
I have literally been in this situation with my sister. But, what do you expect making soup for dinner in the middle of summer when it’s over 100 degrees outside? Who wants soup when the weather is hot?
ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I am one of those “psychos” that actually like hot tea in the middle of summer. Don’t ask me how, I just find it enjoyable (usually indoors, outdoors I prefer cold stuff in the summer)
Janx@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
I do. Hot coffee, hot soup, hot tea. I prefer all of those hot, no matter what the weather is doing…

The image features “Pepe” the green frog character created by racist bigoted 4chan kids who think gay people should be killed by the state.
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Pepe was not created by 4channers, only popularized by them. It was an unrelated cartoonist that created the character to espouse the joy of pulling your pants all the way down to pee
TractorDuffy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
oh so you’re saying it’s NOT a symbol of racism and white supremacy?
this is why reading comprehension matters folks. stay in school.

TractorDuffy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Although originally an apolitical character in Furie’s works and its original internet popularity, Pepe was appropriated from 2015 onward as a symbol of the alt-right white nationalist movement.[7][8][9] The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) included Pepe in its hate symbol database in 2016, but said most instances of Pepe were not used in a hate-related context.[10][11] Since then, Furie has expressed his dismay at Pepe being used as a hate symbol and has sued organizations for doing so
