It´s Soup Week!  

Posted by: anna* in , , , ,

It´s been a while. Again. I´m sorry! I was busy first, then busy again and then my back decided it had been too long since my last herniated disc so... Yeah, fun.
But I cooked a little bit and will post about it, I promise.
Now for Soup Week: Nothing big, really. Just me and my sister deciding there were too many good soups for us to try and so we´ll have six days of soup before eating something nasty and oily like spare ribs on sunday.
So Monday brought us:
Potato Soup

Ingrediences:

Potatoes (we used about 8 medium sized ones for two people)
3/4l of Water
Instant broth
Something to give some taste (I used classic german "Kochwurst", thick little sausages, strong in taste and made to be cut into hearty soups or to be eaten with all kinds of cabbages.)

How to:
Pretty easy. Cook the potates. once they´re done, add water and instant broth and smash them real good. We used the immersion blender. Make sure you don´t overdo it, though, because then you don´t get soup but some kind of sticky glue...
Also, I like to keep it a bit... lumpy. But since my sis doesn´t like potato lumps this one is pretty creamy. Sigh.
Cut the sausage in bite size pieces, add to the soup, add some salt and pepper and tadaaa: Potato Soup. Yes, easy. But: Be careful with the salt if your using instant broth!
The blackish stuff you see in the picture? It´s soy sauce. While I know some people who would eat anything with soy sauce (*cough*Jens*cough*), I think it does make soups better.

Yesterday we had the yummy chinese style corn soup that we made here and that has since become one of my favorites.

Later tonight we´ll get a bit more sophisticated with a Parmesan-Zucchini-Soup. More about that tomorrow.

Love, anna
