Thread: Wifes home made vege soup

We fellas lucky enough to have a good wife will all at some stage be presented with her famous vege soup...made with love from the surplus veges grown in garden or bought cheaply be it tomatoe ,pumpkin or allsorts combined...
we dutifully say "yes please dear " when offered and say"thankyou dear it was lovely" after consuming with many heaps toast to give it some guts(if anyone shows this post to my wife I will deny all and claim account has been hacked) so semi palitable.
next season its the same again..maybe a cauliflower soup for a change.
Duck season sees us shoot a few feathered foe and we scoff them down all through the year but often there is bits left over from meal that sit in fridge waiting to be chucked in sammies or chucked out in bin
TRY THIS.... take cold cuts of meat and slice thinly across the grain..add this into that lovely homemade soup and stir well,two duck breasts will fit in bowl of soup easily and WOW what a great combo,the veges give it added flavour and the meat breaks up into wee bits giving soup some texture and added flavour.

Hey MD this reminds me of the early days when I was trying to impress my Mrs, she would hand me a small plate with nuts, berrys, chips and chocolate on it. I would walk out the back door, eat the chips and chocolate and throw the remaining contents as far as I could then walk back inside and say thanks that was nice.

I only told her a year or so back and she was not impressed

@Micky Duck - Daisy Duck has joined this chat!! Hahahaha

Sorry Micky but veggie soup must have a bacon hock or 2 in it.

bacon hocks pork bones ham ends something

My wife made soup yesterday- she was so sick with a cold or flu and couldn't taste anything.
I ate it happily but today with the leftovers I suggested she try add more salt... She tasted it, added chilli and cream and it was a whole different soup. Absolutely beautiful.
All the meat from the bone had sunk to the bottom, so the portions tonight we're super meaty too.

Yeh bit of sour cream or sweet Chilli sauce can be a complete transformation. For those who haven't tried it, a tablespoon or 2 in a pot of pumpkin soup is amazing.

My mother in law used to make beautiful vege soup with a bacon hock. When see wasn’t looking, I’d add a handful of barley, made it even better. I got banned from the kitchen.
I have and aircore, great for making soup, works on latent heat. Bacon hock, $10 at pak n save with painted on smoke. I’ll have to go to a real butcher next week

My goto soup is a 1/2 bunch celery, 5 chicken legs, 1kg grated carrot, 1 peeled ginger root, a bit of soy sauce, cracked pepper, 1L water, 2L chicken stock-yes I know using stock is cheating.

I'll quite often make a double of this and freeze icecream containers of it. great as is or as a base to use for steamboat etc.

Pearl barley for some reason really adds to the flavor and even after hours and hours of cooking still has texture

Pearl barley is an absolute requirement for soup in my house
