    I finished soup 5 of my 300-soup project. #1 was the first time I used a broiler, it was a poblano white bean soup. I don't use oil, and maybe that is what caused the smoke when I broiled the peppers. Fire alarm went off. Oops. Maybe a little oil next time if that will stop the smoke.

    Yesterday I cooked a black bean-vegetable soup. I added a little ginger and a little espresso-salt mixture I found at a holiday market. It needed a little heat, but solidly good. For the broth I used the aquafaba from when I cooked the beans in an instant pot. Onward to soup-cooking excellence!.


    Perfect weather for soups you can’t go wrong

    That looks great. What do you use instead of oil?

    Looks very clean. Nice work.

    You could charr up the peppers on a grill too. I think if you oil the peppers they will still smoke. (Maybe combust!)

    "Broiling is the cooking technique that uses radiant heat from above to cook your food, so it's like upside-down grilling. Broiling is a good method to use for thinner, leaner cuts of meat like butterflied chicken breasts, pork tenderloin medallions, strip steaks, kabobs and vegetables." It is an option in a stove.

    What do you use instead of oil? Nothing

    #4 was a white bean broccoli soup. Instead of cream I used lima beams. OMG luscious. Lima beans are savory with a richness. Who knew? There was more of a bean flavor than broccoli flavor (thank goodness). I may make it again this weekend.

    I could use my grill pan to char the peppers next time. I'll probably use oil to see if it helps.

    Any good books you recommend for flavor combinations? I still want to know how to make sauerkraut. I've heard of sauerkraut soup.

    I started a sauerkraut on Nov 5 and tried it today. So so good, I had to stop myself. It is with cabbage, pineapple, some ginger, black pepper and a jalapeno. Has a very nice mild tanginess, some warm sweetness from the pineapple and a good little punch of heat from the pepper and jalapeno. I eat it cold but it is also nice in potato soup or with pork.

    Sounds awesome! Is making sauerkraut a long process? Is most of the time waiting time?

    Prepping it doesn't take long. You shred the cabbage, peel and chop the pineapple, slice the jalapeno and grind some ginger. Mix the cabbage with kosher or Himalaya salt (I had a large cabbage, so I think I used about 1 tbsp, but start out with one and see how it tastes) and knead it a bit to soften it and bring the juices out, then add cracked black pepper to your liking and mix in the pineapple. Pack the mix tightly into jars or whatever you want to use (I use one of these plastic kimchi containers with an inner lid), and put the jalapeno slices in between. Push it all down to get the air bubbles out and the brine to come over the kraut. Then add your weight or the inner lid or whatever you use to keep the cabbage below the brine and close your container. It takes about two to three weeks on the counter. Try it in between to make sure things go the way you want. With the kimchi container or regular jars you have to burp things every day so nothing explodes. Open the lid, let the gas out and close again, making sure the brine is above the kraut. For smaller batches I love the fermentation lids that have vents, you don't have to burp these. Fermenting is a lot of fun!
    And yes, you can use it in soups. I like it in potato base soups, with maybe some airfried bacon sprinkled over at the end or some Canadian bacon or ham cubes.

    If you have a gas stove, you can also char/roast peppers directly on a burner under the hood. No oil needed.

    Stuffed artichokes! Turkey meat onion garlic bread crumbs celery, salt& pepper will top off with grated Parmesan, didn’t have enough filling for all four.

    Yum! Demystify those chokes for me. How u cooking them?
  • LoujoeLoujoe Posts: 9,249
    let's call it. Crispy ginger, charred Thai pepper, blistered butternut squash & sweet potatoes with double bock glazed iron skillet buttered baby Brussel sprouts. Chili cheese dog. 
    The burning of squash and sweet potato on the grill adds a fantastic layer of flavor.

    Damn I'm good.

  • All things love.  Awesome!

    Hot dogs have chili cheese in them. So not messy. Just great flavor. Was going to make soup out of that squash, that being said @Kwieneke , I'm glad I didn't.

    Yes. Been away from veggies for too long. Farm by me has killer b sprouts. So been enjoying them. Inspired by your healthy posts too.

    Brussels sprouts looks great.  I like adding pancetta and hot honey to mine.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
  • Those veggies look amazing. I make Brussels sprout all the time, usually I just steam them and then add a bit of butter or olive oil, pepper, salt and balsamic. They are so good warm or cold. I am super intrigued by hot honey, it's coming up all over the place. I need to do some research. Also those artichokes - wow! I don't think I'd know where to get them around here.

    I steamed them 1st with no stuffing so it’s easier to spread them out to fill! Once stuffed I baked them till the artichoke leaves just pull off with no effort. But I’d recommend you look up a recipe I did this just by intuition they are very tasty 🤤

    Good idea. I have hot pepper garlic honey. That would taste great on them.

    Yup.

    I’ll do sprouts with bacon, honey, a splash of apple cider vinegar, a bit of minced garlic and diced jalapeños.
