Whisk in coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons tamarind pulp. Add kabocha squash puree and bring to simmer, whisking often. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and flavors blend, whisking occasionally, about 4 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt.

Seafood Soup

Posted on April 6, 2008 - Filed Under Food | Leave a Comment

Cooks around the world know that making soup is one of the most economical ways to enjoy the fruits of the sea, as a relatively small amount of fish is needed for each portion. Flavors range from boldly-seasoned soups with lots of spice to delicate ones that highlight the fish’s natural taste.

When seafood soup is served to start off a meal, it might be a light broth with a few small cubes of fish and perhaps a hint of chives or parsley; or it might be a small bowl of rich creamy bisque or thick North American chowder flavored with milk and cream or with tomatoes. At Mexican seafood restaurants, I’ve also had chowder-like first-course fish soups, but they were lighter and spicier than their New England counterparts.

Tasty And Nutritious Vegetable Soup

Posted on April 5, 2008 - Filed Under Food | Leave a Comment

 Now that I have two kids of my own, I see why: it’s easy, nutritious and tastes delicious! Basically there are a few basic ingredients and the rest is optional. It’s super-easy to customize this soup to your tastes!

I’ve been in the market for a good vegetable soup recipe, and this one looks like it fits the bill. It’s got plenty of vegetables and even works in corn and potatoes, both of which I love in soups (though I don’t recall the last time I’ve ever had them both in one soup bowl). And maybe the best part of this recipe is that it manages to work in chorizo while still maintaining its “healthy” label. Talk about healthy and delicious.

Hot Chicken Soup

Posted on April 5, 2008 - Filed Under Food | Leave a Comment

Delis dispense golden “Jewish penicillin,” usually filled with some combination of matzo balls, noodles and little meat-filled dumplings called kreplach. Making chicken soup is a serious process if you want it to be the real deal.

“Chicken soup is synonymous with New York City,” Molly O’Neill wrote in the “New York Cookbook”. “An epicurean archeologist could piece together a social history of the city, simply by studying the permutations of its chicken soup.” From renowned chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten to the corner bodega owner, every cook has his own recipe for this magical elixir.

Substitutions And Variations: Egg Soup

Posted on April 5, 2008 - Filed Under Food | Leave a Comment

The addition of 1 medium-size can of stewed tomatoes is all that is needed. Bring stock to a boil. Add the tomatoes. (Mash the tomatoes if the pieces are too large.) When soup boils again, add the cornstarch mixture as before. 

To keep the egg flakes afloat, the soup must be thickened with cornstarch first before the beaten eggs are stirred in. Bring soup stock to a boil. Slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring the stock, until the stock thickens. Reduce heat so stock just simmers. Pour in the eggs slowly while stirring the soup. As soon as the last bit of egg is in, shut off heat at once. Serve with chopped scallions on top.

What Are The Ingredients Of The Best Italian Recipes?

Posted on April 1, 2008 - Filed Under Food and Drink | Leave a Comment

It might come as a surprise that Italian cooking doesn’t exist.
Italy was united only in 1861 and the history of this country is so fragmented that every city and village has its own, ferociously guarded traditions.

For centuries neighboring towns have looked at each other as enemies, stubbornly refusing to share language, traditions and cooking recipes. Even the name of common food is jealously guarded: for example the same sea snails are called in Ancona “crocette”, in Senigallia (30 km away) “garagoi”.
