Enjoy it while it lasts… Climate change will ruin soup season within the decade. 🚫🍜4️⃣😔
Soup season! That explains the dreams where I keep trying to put a chicken into a hot tub.
I started making some soups recently. So easy and so good.
But. Nothing. Nothing! Beats. My. Chili.
I need to make it now…
Chili con carne?
Fillers (Beans, pasta?)
Cheese?
I don’t have a recipie. I just know what I like after making it so many times.
The carne is steak. Sold as stew meat. Awesome because it takes on the spices and softens up very nicely in a crock pot (slow cooker).
Beans: kidney, great northern, black, garbonzo, and lima. More kidney than the others.
Many different spices but primarily chili powder, fresh minced habenero, ground black pepper, Valentina Extra Spicy and lime juice.
Fresh mushrooms and onions.
Top with sour cream and/or shredded extra shap cheddar. Cornbread optional.
This doesn’t really do it justice, just a rough guide. And I don’t think I’ve made it exactly the same twice.
Why would you put beans in this otherwise (seemingly) masterpiece?
Here in the Midwest, chili has beans in it. Usually and mostly kidney beans. You can even buy chili beans in a can which is kidney beans plus chili powder.
I know some places like Texas do not put beans in chili. Which is interesting to me but I have never had an opportunity to try it.
Your chili is beanless? Where are you?
Does it have chocolate or beer in it?
No.
Interesting ideas tho.
I just made a huge pot of chicken noodle with two Costco rotisserie chickens. Freezing most of it. Did chili last week. Goulash next.
I absolutely love using rotisserie chicken in my recipes, especially chicken noodle soup and chicken pot pie
Nice! I’ll usually make a couple batches of my favorite soups in the fall and freeze indvidual potions to eat throughout the winter. Nothing beats a freezer full of homemade soups.
That’s amateur stuff. You gotta get into dips.
This is all I eat - dips for dinner.
I fucking love soup
No soup for you!
I just made leek+potato soup a couple days ago for the first time. Its so easy and good :)
Pumpkin spice soup! Yum!
Why do people try to convince themselves they like soup? It’s just so . . . wet.
Now a good chili, that’s were it’s at.
Have you ever had split pea soup?
You will be the most regular you’ve ever been the next morning. Like toothpaste.
Plus so tasty.
I have indeed had the misfortune of trying split pea soup, and I literally can’t think of a more vile and disgusting soup.
There’s something wrong with the way your soup was prepared.
Diced carrots, onion, celery. Saute in butter until ready. Add rinsed split peas, a few bay leaves, salt and pepper. Ham and a ham bone really make this, but make sure there’s not too much ham. That means too much salt. Put those in and cover with (ideally home made, no salt) stock. Cook until done. Remove bone, return meat and cartilage to soup.
So much fiber, so tasty. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions (I really, really despise green beans), but some opinions are less good than others.
There’s nothing that can possibly be bad in that.
Someone get this heathen a bowl of homemade ham and bean soup
Minestrone … ?
Pasta fagioli for me.
The texture of pasta and beans together is just all wrong.
Anyway, if you make homemade stock, that stock plus anything is delicious soup.
We do a couple a year. Pro tip: we slow cook a ham and use the juice for the broth. Also, throw in some of the ham.
A fresh ham? In a crock pot or smoker?
This post got me craving soup, so I made another post on cooking. Care to continue the discussion there?
Crock pot. I’ll find the recipe and look for you over there
