My first soup

QG, I didn’t think I had. Also, my recipie uses pasta, and that doesn’t always come out non-mushy after refrigerating. :wink: I was also trying to be somewhat healthy.

Sorry for the lack of replies.

So, by the time I got around to making some soup, my ingredients list was sharply reduced - my mum saw what I’d bought and (correctly!) thought it’d make a lovely risotto.

So I made a basic soup with just carrots, parsnips and udon noodles:

  • saute sliced carrots + parsnips in olive oil, for 5 min
  • meanwhile, make up stock
  • add stock to veg, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 min
  • add udon 2 min before end

Given the basic ingredients, it was surprisingly edible, if a bit flavourless. But this was more of a proof of concept.

I think I used too much olive oil, as there was a layer on the top of the soup and it tasted a bit oily. But better luck next time!

Thanks for the tips, next time (tomorrow) I’ll add some chicken and maybe garlic, plus seasoning.

I don’t know if I’d use olive oil except for tomato soups. And you do need just a bit.

Here’s a recipe I’m going to be making a variation of this week:
