Stephelle’s Kitchen: Dreamy Creamy Soup

one reason why i always choose pizzeria 

when it comes to dining-out

because i enjoy the soup, very much

 

from a Chinese-cuisine based family

we have soup all the time

just like rice is our staple food

whenever there’s rice there’s soup

 

but of course

the kind of soup we make

is totally different from

the one on Western food menu 

 

not to say that Chinese soups are not tasty

i like it

and will start missing it

especially those days away from home

 

back to the Western soup

i have been trying to replicate its creaminess at home

but without much success

 

Campbell soup is not the answer,

corn starch is definitely not the answer

i want the dripping thick flow

where the warmth can be felt in the air

 

finally found the answer

from a magazine tv show last week

 

here you go,

minus the cream, the oil, the MSG

all you need is a blender 

 

Step 1: boil your ingredients

mine was potato, onion and cauliflower

 

Step 2: when the ingredients are softened, let the mixture cool down

then pour it into a blender, blended into puree form

 

Step 3: put the puree onto stove again, to reheat it

add flavours / toppings to your liking

eg: black pepper powder, carrot cubes, spring onion, parsley

 

my dream soup came true

i had 2 bowls for lunch,

dipping French loaf into it

wait till i replicate the garlic toast

then i wouldn’t have to head down to pizzeria again

 

once again

minus the cream, the oil, the MSG

all we need is a blender

to make some creamy soup at home

 

and best of all

we are at liberty to experiment with any favourite vegetables

or like me, with what ever found in the fridge

eg, the potato and cauliflower were pre-boiled

leftover in the fridge

 

creamy soups:

• mushroom soup
• corn soup
• pumpkin soup
• sweet potato soup

 

desserts:

• red bean (azuki bean)
• green bean (mung bean)

 

at least i can think of five different kind of soups right now

as long as you have got a blender in your kitchen
