Soup is so good and easy and cheap and an excellent excuse to bake and consume too much bread. I am so glad we are all making soup.

Forgot to post this soup:

Cabbage
Taters
White beans in a can cuz I'm lazy
Bratwurst
Stock-some homemade beef stretched with bought chicken
Marjoram-Great herb in soups and plays well with the brats that also have a marjoram thing going on
Thyme
Onion
Mushrooms

Fried the onions a little, dumped everything else in. Cooked ~20 min, cut up brats (and their delicious juices) and returned to pot for a little while. A great trick I picked up around these forums somewhere is adding a few packets of unflavored gelatin to canned stock. It really does make a huge difference in the mouthfeel and makes it much much more unctuous.

Mostly based on a soup in Claudia Roden's Spain cookbook, but hers (which I have made before) involves ham stock and I didn't have time to simmer a ham hock. I wasn't sure I was going to like the white beans AND potatoes, but it is actually a nice contrast between the two.


Verdict: Pretty good. Something brighter green towards the end would have looked nice? Maybe some parsley or toss some spinach in at the end? Except I don't like the way spinach freezes in soups, and most of this is destined for the freezer. Bratwurst sliced in soup is real good. I first did it and learned about marjoram in soup in this recipe (which is v. good if you make good veg stock) https://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Graupensuppe-German-Barley-Soup/ And then started doing it in Jacques Pepin's leek and potato soup, but it has become a regular in lots of brothy N. European kind of soups for me.

SOUP FOR THE SOUP GOD!!!!



Cauliflower paprikash soup w/dumplings.

Poached some chicken and added it because I thought I’d want some meat but it really doesn’t need in. Really good and pretty quick and easy.
