Soup Tips
June 10th, 2008 by Pete
Delicious soups are a feature of the lunches enjoyed by workshop attendees at Gurukula. Here are a few quick soup tips that you may or may not have seen before:
Vegetables added to a soup taste better if you saute them in a little butter first.
Did you know that Lettuce loves fat: Fat can be removed from hot soup by floating a large lettuce leaf on the surface. Another way to eliminate fat from soup and stew is to drop ice cubes into the pot. As you stir, the fat will cling to the cubes. Discard the cubes before they melt.
You can camouflage the burnt taste from your soups & Stews by pouring the liquid gently and carefully into a clean pan and flavor it with curry powder or mustard or some chutney.
Salty Soup - Place a raw potato in the bowl & it will absorb the extra salt.
Thickening for the Soups - Put instant mashed potato and gravies to thicken. Stir thoroughly and Keep on adding as much desired.
