mushroom 13,304 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 a nice game soup,pheasent,partridge,rabbit,hare and mabe a touch of venasen sounds nice atb mate add to this a good slug of fairly decent red, some herbs (rosemary, basil and ginger fresh or ground) and season to taste. If you really want to push the boat out make the stock out of any bones (I usually use rabbit and pheasant carcase [pheasant stripped of meat] boil it up remove the rabbit meat. Strain the liquid and use it as the base for your soup. If it turns out not thick enough for you then just add cornflour paste, a roux (flour and butter) or tomatoe puree but this will add another flavour. ATB Kie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 13,304 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 * 400 grams (about 1lb) boneless chicken meat diced * 3 cups chicken stock * 100 grams (3.5 oz) straw mushrooms, halved 6 cherry tomatoes * 1 fresh lemon grass stem cut into short lengths * 2-3 kaffir lime leaves, torn * 3 tbsp Thai fish sauce * 4 tbsp fresh lime juice * 1/2 tsp sugar * 5-6 hot fresh Thai chilies, just broken with pestle Preparation Place the stock in a pot, add the lemon grass and kaffir lime leavess, and bring to boil over medium heat. Add the chicken meat, mushroom, fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar; cook slowly and uncovered for 10 minutes. Do not stir. Then add the tomatoes and chilies and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat. 4 servings. I've ripped this from the net. This is my favourite soup substitute chicken for rabbit or whatever and to beast it up add guay teow (boiled and drained egg noodles) enjoy... ATB Kie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A bit,give a quick blitz and the lentils thicken it a little,the colour didn't go the colour i expected more like a minestrone now,so i put a bit of spaghetti in broke down into 1" lengths,tastes alright...just got 3 pints of it to get through Not a bad soup for the price of 2 spuds and an oxo cube the rest of the veg came out of my 6'x1' allotment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although cheese scones don't last two minutes once through the oven door. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
