I promised, didn't I?

A while back to post stuff that wasn't fandom related but me-related? Yeah, I did *g*

Right, so last time was a bit heavy about religion -- not yours or your neighbour's but mine. This time, completely different:

Recipe time! I'm cooking soup and sharing the recipe.

Mind you, some of the measurements are probably odd to you, because I'm a Dane and hence, we don't necessarily use the same measurements.

Red pepper soup

This will be a good, big potful, just to warn you.

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 red peppers depending on size -- you can use snack pepper, just keep in mind they don't have as strong a taste.

  • 1 medium to large size onion

  • a handful of sliced meat if you want to -- it can be a vegie soup as well -- i tend to use chicken or turkey

  • 2 cans of chopped tomatoes

  • various spices, paprica, cayenne pepper or similar, salt

  • 1 litre of bouillon/broth -- chicken, beef, vegie your choice (US 4 cups, IMP 1 3/4 pint)

  • 1 tablespoon Sweet chili sauce

  • 1-2 handfuls of pasta

  • 7 oz/200g cream cheese, NOT the light version



How to:

Cut unions and pepper and fry in the pot -- add meat. Let it fry for a few minutes, while stirring it.

Add the cans of tomato, stir and leave to cook at a lower heat for five to ten minutes. Keep an eye on it and stir every once in a while.

Add the bouillon/broth -- use at least 1 litre as I wrote above, but don't be a afraid to add a bit more water -- it'll be a fairly thick soup.

Add spices and salt -- though keep in mind to not use too much salt -- you'll need to check the taste once you have the cream cheese in anyway.

Leave it to cook for half an hour to an hour -- it's like chili con carne -- the more it cooks the better.

Dump in the pasta -- use smaller stuff, soup noodles and the like -- once they've cooked in the soup for a while they'll be nice and thick -- soaked in the soup.

Add the cream cheese -- all of it. Stir until the soup is creamy. Now add appx a table spoon or two of sweet chili sauce -- don't forget to do the taste check -- it can get really spicy XD -- also of course depends on how you prefer it. Add more salt if needed and there ya go, enjoy -- also? You can freeze this stuff and just reheat in the microwave or on the cooker.

Heh, and I thought I'd made that stuff quite thin and with little taste *g*
