22/10.2024 - potato leek soup is one of life's pleasures

[muninandhugin]

I made some potato leek soup.

Three days of lunch and dinner for like... i dunno... $6?

6 red potatoes

1 carrot

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 leek

1 stick butter

2 32oz box of veggie broth

2 of above of water

Salt, pepper, turmeric

Melt a stick of butter on low medium in a big stock pot.

While it's melting, dice the onion and garlic and throw it it. Stir to coat in melted butter.

Up the heat to medium and cook until the onions start to go clear, stir occasionally to keep them from burning.

Wash the potatoes well. Dice em up in chunks roughly the size of the end of your thumb. *Do not dice thumb.*

Add potato chunks to buttery onions and stir to coat them in buttery onions.

Wash and chop the carrot, and throw that in too.

Add liquids and put the heat to high to bring the whole thing to a boil. Stir occasionally. Add salt, pepper, turmeric, whatever other spices you want here.

While waiting for it to boil, slice the leek, then give it a good rinse in cold water. (Leeks always seem to have so much dirt in them.)

Once at a boil, add half of the leeks, cover, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

When the 30 minutes are up, add the rest of the leeks, briefly bring it back up to a boil, then eat.

I got a new balance in my voice and its sooooo nice, just listen.

You can actually hear me forget how to do the voice between the two recordings. (They were back to back.) The first recording was so much cuter. I'll have to work on mastering that one.

National Homemade Soup Day

When the cold winter winds are blowing and snow is rapidly falling, nothing takes the chill away like a bowl of homemade soup! It might seem that making a pot of simmering heaven would require a person to be highly skilled in the kitchen and have a great deal of extra time. But this couldn’t be farther from the truth!

If making homemade soup has always seemed like an intimidating task, just know that it doesn’t have to be. Plus, it’s a great way to feed a large group of people without a lot of fuss. With some clever short cuts and easy, beginner-friendly recipes (happily found all over the internet), it’s entirely feasible to impress family and friends alike with a wonderful creation to celebrate National Homemade Soup Day!

History of National Homemade Soup Day

Soup has been warming the stomachs of the masses for nearly 9000 years, so it’s about time there was a day devoted to it!

One of the smartest choices of the creators of National Homemade Soup Day is that they put it right smack-dab in the middle of winter (at least for people in many places). Since February can be one of the coldest and darkest months of the year, it’s the perfect time to try a hand at creating the perfect homemade soup.

But for people who live in a place where the day doesn’t fall in winter–don’t despair! Homemade cold soups are a tasty option for those celebrating in a warmer climate. Whether with a Gazpacho (cold tomato soup) or cucumber soup, this day can be enjoyed–cold or hot–in any part of the world!

How to Celebrate National Homemade Soup Day

While this day does not discriminate between flavors of soup, it does offer an occasion to celebrate. So it’s time to do more than just open that can of boring, bland, soup! This is a day that is all about celebrating a fresh, healthy pot of homemade soup!

Consider a few different ways to make National Homemade Soup Day a little more special:

Try a New Recipe

Celebrating soup sounds simple – just pour a bowl and start eating, right? Well, that is part of it but not all of it. If you are new to creating culinary masterpieces you can use this day as a motivation to try something different. Make some chicken soup, or tomato, or maybe something more adventurous. That is what today is all about, so experiment and try something new.

Invite Friends and Family to Join In

Already a kitchen wizard? Use this special day to gather up some friends and have a tasting of several different homemade soups.

Or have each person bring one ingredient that can be added into the pot! While waiting for the soup to simmer, read out loud a version of the favorite children’s book, Stone Soup.

Better yet have a cook off! Each friend shows up with their own homemade masterpiece and have a lively night of fun to see whose soup is crowned the winner. The great news is that, really, everyone wins because they get to enjoy all of the deliciousness and comfort that homemade soup has to offer.

Recreate a Copycat Recipe

Sometimes a favorite dish at a restaurant turns out even better when making it at home! Many recipes for famous soups from restaurant chains are now available online to be recreated in a person’s own.

Try making these yummy copycat soup recipes that can be easily found online:

Zuppa Toscana by Olive Garden. Famous for its pairing with soft breadsticks, this twist on an Italian favorite is packed with yummy goodness. A chicken stock base with sausage, kale, and red pepper flakes provide a zesty array of flavors.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup by O’Charley’s. Packed with flavor (and also quite a few carbs!) this soup is sure to please with its cheesy potato base and bacon garnish. Like most soups, this one is tasty when served with buttery bread rolls.

Cullen Skink from Ubiquitous Chip. This soup is named after Cullen, a small fishing town in the northeast of Scotland. One of Glasgow’s favorite restaurants, Ubiquitous Chip, features this comforting treat made from smoked haddock, potato, onion, and spices.

Read a Chicken Soup for the Soul Book

Since homemade soup takes a little bit of time to simmer on the stove, it’s great to have something to do while waiting. So what could be better than reading some short stories from the famous Chicken Soup for the Soul anthologies?!

The books were compiled by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, but the stories themselves were written by people all over the world. Some authors are famous while others are simply average people with extraordinary or entertaining stories to share that bring comfort to the soul.

This is radical self-care.

It's not potatoes or leeks or dill or green onions (we were out of shallots at work) or chicken stock or salt or pepper.

Nope.

It's me loving myself today.

After an emergency meeting with my therapist, a little while ago, I have to do something kind for myself every day for a month and document it. The long and short of it is that I've been feeling really worried about a thing, and last night, I ended up having a panic attack so severe that I blacked out, prompting my sister to drive 35 miles from her town to mine to check on me. Oops.

There's an individual who my therapist believes is jealous of a relationship that I have with another person, and they've created a competition out of said person's attention, bragging about any time they get a response and minimizing anything I get. She believes that, even though I do have some issues I'm working on (cptsd, recent trauma, learning to love myself), I'm not doing anything wrong and don't deserve to feel so guilty. And then she slammed the gavel down on this absolutely horrible "document your self-care so I can grade you on it" sentence. (that last bit was sarcasm, I do feel better after enjoying this bowl of soup that I made for myself, though I need to tell my therapist that I cried at first because I felt like I didn't deserve it).

Anyway, the soup came out perfect, just like back in the day. It's a mood lifter, frown turner, etc. So simple, and such a great taste. I could have added ham but I forgot. Oh and @frozen-fountain was correct - a bit of mustard went really well with it. I got all fancy and bought some stone-ground mustard and put a blob in the middle of the soup. I'm happy that I made this. It really does make a person feel better.

Potato Leek Soup

[renosser]

Ever since I made that pot of potato leek soup, I've wanted to make more soup. I still have a bowl left, though it's been heavily altered by this point (there's noodles, ground beef, and I think I added some creamy sauce to it), but soup is where it's at when your soul needs to heal.
