i moved into a brand new apartment with a brand new oven 18 or so months ago. it is super off (way cooler than my set temp). I suppose i should just invest in a proper oven thermometer, but I've basically figured out i need to set the temp 15 degrees (f) over the recipe and cook it 10% longer. i should be grateful it at least the oven says comes to temperature lol

Any suggestions on how to use cabbage, potatoes, onions, and some carrots in a soup? I actually don't know how to make a soup from scratch compared to something like a dressing, where there's a rule that it's a 3:1 oil:acid ratio.

Are there other rules like that in cooking? It'd be super cool to look at a bunch of ingredients in my fridge and know exactly what I can make with them.

You can just eyeball how much of each you want, soup is the ultimate in anything rules cooking

If you wanna be fancy, sautée the onions first then dump in the liquid and the rest of the veggies

Sweat the onions and carrots. Add garlic, maybe tomato paste, cook for a minute. Add stock and potatoes (and maybe something like green lentils, split peas, beans etc). Perhaps some herbs or spices depending on flavour profile. A few minutes from being cooked add the cabbage.
We have a potato, cabbage and canellini bean soup with a lemon basil pistou which is delicious. Carrots would work too. The pistou really elevates it.

As above but add a cup or two of red or brown lentils and you've got half a dozen stew meals.

I was going to suggest that but the beans are there. Green lentils or split peas would work well too.

You can also decide to mix it smooth once it's cooked as well, if you prefer that kind of soup, and maybe add some cream. Add some roasted nuts and almonds for texture, or make parmesan crisps as topping.

Mostly true but not so much for potatoes and cabbage. Something like butternut, absolutely. It intensifies the flavour beautifully.

I'm currently trying to figure out how many chicken thigh bones it takes to make about 6 cups of stock. I think I'm just going to keep bagging them infinitely at this rate.

Oh well, yes, there are quite a lot of things that I wouldn’t roast before making soup with them. I guess the rule of them is “if you wouldn’t roast it to eat it on its own, don’t roast it to make soup”

Don't be afraid to cut some of that into smaller pieces so you get the most surface area available for roasting. If you're using a roasting tray I'd just cut things into halves until there's no more room left, within reason. I'm very char-forward though, YMMV.

e: On this note, squash is one of the things I've found the most rewarding to do with the air fryer. Cube and toss in some oil/salt/pepper/cinnamon/nutmeg and it's done unbelievably fast if you're used to a 20 year old oven.

I just ate some thing I thought couldn't exist. Kroger sometimes gives away free items on Friday if you clip their digital coupon and I tried Violife vegan cheese. Now, I've tried vegan cheese before and it's always complete poo poo. Disclaimer: I do not work for this company or own stock for them or anything like that. This cheese was really good. It even melted like normal cheese. I have no idea how they made it but I'm really drat impressed.

this is fine



We used their shredded mozzarella on pizza a month ago and, while it wasn't terrible, Mrs. BrianBoitano didn't like it. I thought it was fine if you had to go dairy free, she just didn't like that its melt properties were just off. It was like if you added hot-set gelatin (like gellan gum) to velveeta. It melted and then re-set while still hot, so it ended up like melty individual shreds?? Reminded me of the dairy free at Blaze Pizza.

How Wonderful!

I only have excellent ideas
ime some vegan cheeses are just fine cold but become a little offputting when heated or melted. I'm not vegan but I do a lot of vegan cooking and always try to patronize vegan restaurants around me so I've had a lot of different vegan cheese-type things over the years and I think the best and most successful are the ones that try to figure out what cheese was going to bring to a specific dish and doing that thing rather than products which try to be a catch-all cheese substitute. For example cashew-based cream sauces for non-meat hoagies and deli sandwiches are almost always good because they can embrace the nutty flavor and the decidedly non-cheese like consistency but still fill the textural and flavor niche that melty cheese would normally serve on a cheesesteak or whatever.

I'm a vegan and every vegan cheese I've tried has been somewhere between bad and inedible. But to be fair I don't try them very often and I haven't tried any of the new fancy ones, like Violife or Miyoko's, which many people say are great. But... I'm skeptical...
