  • Two light soups for christmas

    I need to make two soups for Christmas and have been told not too heavy, so was going to make leek and potato, and a parsnip soup, the question I would like answered is what should I use, chicken or vegetable stock for the soups

    I usually make leek and potato soup with vegetable stock cube
    Probably would with the parsnip one too

      I make my leek and potato with reconstituted powdered milk, and just season with salt and pepper.
      Sauteing the leeks slowly in butter, always helps as well.

        Thanks NS I have both chicken and veg stock but someone told me chicken stock was better for leek and potato soup and was wondering if others thought the same.
        Thelma, is reconstituted powdered milk different from powdered milk?

          No, reconstituted just means you've added the water to the powder, to make liquid milk again.

            Apple and parsnip soup is nice, I usually spice mine up a bit too. I would use vegetable stock for both but that's just me, I don't think it really matters.

              Thanks Thelma, I must have missed school the day they gave the definition
              Though I was back for rehydrate
              More serious note, do you make up the milk first then boil the veg in it, or add the powder after the soup is made?

                I like the idea of Apple and parsnip soup, any particular apple

                  I saute the shredded leeks in butter til very soft, add small cubes of potato and just a little water lid on to steam. When spuds are soft I top up with the milk to make it as thin/thick as you like, and reheat it all. You can always whizz it a bit if you like a few less lumps in it. S&P to taste..

                    If you've been asked to make 2 veggie soups, why would you want to use Chicken Stock?

                        Not really, if I was being picky I would probably use something sharp like Granny Smith but it usually ends being whatever I have at the time

                          As Thelma said it was never specified veggie soup, what I did say was that some one told me chicken stock was better for leek and potato soup
