On Thursday, I made some Carrot and Coriander soup. I overdid it with the ground coriander as there was a lot of it after I had finished grinding the seeds.

It made my eyeballs sweat!

I'll do my best Tilly, I just do it - serves about 4 and I freeze any unused helpings. Cut heavy green bits and roots off leeks (2 large or 3 small), remove outer layer, wash any grit out, cut lengthways, turn onto cut surface and cut lengthways again, then chop across into slices about half an inch wide. Peel spuds and cut into smallish pieces - about 12 oz., but it's...

Hi Tilly - friend was talking about soup at the beginning of week so I made my vegetable soup and sent her a pot.

She said it was delicious and irony taste - I didn't tell her that I couldn't get green leeks (they were too white) so I used Kale cabbage and must say it was delicious.

I am not too fond of tinned soups, however my neighbour told me about Lidl Scotch Broth - make Newgate - as near to homemade soup as you will ever get - especially with having the boiled peas. Nice.

Thank you, shoota.

@jenny... also, what is the difference between soup and broth?

Mamyalynne

In the main Chowders have cream and or milk added and are richer and thicker than most soups.

jennyjoan

thanks Mamy - believe it or now I always associated Fish with Chowder - that is why I would never order it.

Mamyalynne

Broth is really another name for Stock, made by boiling bones etc - however it has also become synonymous with soup as a sort of soup often with chunks of veg etc, within.

jennyjoan

Orbiter - don't know.

jennyjoan

Oh Mamy has given you an answer

Mamyalynne

You're right that seafood does lent itself well to a Bisque or Chowder but it doesn't have to be an ingredient.

Mamyalynne

I think trying to narrow these terms down is a little pointless because as time moves on things shift.

A bit like saying, what is a sandwich - when I was a child it was two slices of bread with a filling, now the choice is endless.
