I like to serve hot potato-leek soup in small hollowed out toasted bread boules. Oh, boule means bowl in french. In this case small round loaves. Hollow out the center, rub with garlic and brush with olive oil. Heat in the oven until crusty. Save the hollowed out bread to make croutons or bread crumbs. Jill |

I used the "New York Times" cookbook recipe. I seem to remember they said to also puree it, then chill. Neither of those final options appealed to me so I ate it all hot and chunky. Same ingredients and taste. Changing the name because of that seems a bit odd to me. If ordered in a restaurant though, it would be expected to be pureed and chilled. |

Suppose I made bouillabaisse but I left out the seafood. Is it still bouillabaisse? Cindy Hamilton |

For instance, I looked up steak au poivre recipes last night. There were all sorts of variations. Some used ground pepper while others used whole or coarsely ground. Some used shallots in the sauce and some had none. Some used butter in the sauce while some had cream and some had both. I have also seen variations of beef Stroganoff. While different, they stuck close enough to a central theme to qualify as the same dish. A few years back we had a similar thread about a pet peeve of mine.... the Martini. To me, a Martini is gin and vermouth. It is not a big deal to use vodka instead of gin. My problem is when people call anything served in a Martini class a Martini. When you start throwing in chocolate, or cranberry juice and orange zest and crap like that, it is not a Martini. |

I don't like cold soups or pureed soups, however I like Manachewitz borsht and shav cold with sour cream. Borsht is naturally a beet soup, shav is a soup made with sour grass (sorrel)... I like either with sour cream and sliced hard cooked eggs. A good price for a dozen bottles: https://www.ebay.com/p/1900934527 Actually not sour, tastes like super spinach, Popeye loves it, Olive Oyl loves it more because it puts lead in Popeye's pencil. https://www.fooducate.com/product/Ma...2-FEFD45A4D471 You can find both at most supermarkets in the Jewish foods section but you don't need to be Jewish to enjoy Jewish foods... I can assure you I'm not Chinese but I love Chinese food, even the real Chinese food, not just Americanized Chinese as found at Take-Outs. Long ago I had a Chinese neighbor in Brooklyn, at least once a month we'd go to the NYC China Town for a great meal, he could read the Chinese menu... in between we'd dine in Little Italy, we both loved scungili with spaghetti and pepper biscuits. Could always tell you were in an Italian neighborhood by all the scungili shells and fig trees in the yard. In winter all the fig trees were dressed in linoleum tied with clothes lines. Brooklyn probably has more different ethnic neighborhoods than anywhere else on the planet... I tried all those foods, most I liked, not those lamb dishes. Bleat! Growing up in Brooklyn race/nationality meant nothing, everyone was equal. I remember when the subway, bus, and trolly was only a nickle, so was a pay phone: http://www.screanews.us/NewYork/BrooklynOld.htm |

I re-created the butternut squash soup recipe after having a cup of it with a burger at the Club with my dad back in the 1990's. It was the "soup du jour" on the lunch menu. I liked it. Got back home to TN, bought a butternut squash and set about trying to re-create it. IMHO, mine is much better. I think they cut up and boiled the squash (or maybe bought frozen cubes of peeled squash). I split the squash, removed the seeds and roasted it. Theirs didn't have tarragon in it, either. To me the addition of a little tarragon adds an extra depth to the soup. Jill |

You snipped my last comment to make your futile point. "If ordered in a restaurant though, it would be expected to be pureed and chilled." |

You need to get out more, Burger Quick is not how to have food experiences. I make a chunky hot squash soup all the time, it tastes great and looks fantastic... and yes I've posted pictures. Mostly I use different kinds of summer squash along with other veggies like parsley, garlic, taters, carrots, celery and sometimes 'shrooms, and tomatoes. With winter squash I prefer it roasted/grilled/baked. Winter squash really only lends itself to pureed soup and I don't care for any pureed soup... I prefer eating soup, not drinking/slurping it... I outgrew Gerbers squash a lifetime ago. I roast winter squash halved with the skin on, we like to eat the skin. The seeds feed the critters. |

I do NOT like chilled soup. I don't run a restaurant, Gary. I make hot potato leek soup sometimes served in toasted bread bowls. Barring that, at least topped with nicely toasted croutons. You're nitpicking over names of soup. You've made it perfectly clear you don't like pureed soups. Okay, fine. No one is forcing you to eat pureed soup. All I said was I had to go to a different grocery store to find leeks. You said onions would be the same... no they aren't. They don't taste the same as leeks. Please Stop arguing. Jill |

I take mine up a notch from being good to being outstanding but adding some Jamaican curry powder to it. |

Ah. Well here's my point (futile though it may be, since you are not receptive to changing your mind): If you ordered Vichyssoise in a restaurant it would be pureed and chilled, because that's what Vichyssoise is. If it's not pureed and chilled, it's not Vichyssoise. It's simply potato-leek soup. Cindy Hamilton |

That's exactly what I just said. Read it again. That was my disclaimer that you snipped after I said that I like it chunky and hot yet still call it the same name. |

I think we've run this nit-picking episode into the ground. About a year ago, I watched a Martha Stewart cooking show. She demonstrated how to make a "Shepard's Pie." She used ground beef, not lamb. If she had posted that recipe here in RFC using a fake name, she would have been slammed bigtime by many here. |

I think we've run this nit-picking episode into the ground. About a year ago, I watched a Martha Stewart cooking show. She demonstrated how to make a "Shepard's Pie." She used ground beef, not lamb. If she had posted that recipe here in RFC using a fake name, she would have been slammed bigtime by many here. ==== )) Not everyone here gets it right either but really Shepherd's pie is made with lamb (from the shepherd?) and Cottage pie with beef (living in a cottage?)

My father's parents were both born and raised in England and my mother comes from background that is mostly English, Irish Scottish with some French and German thrown in. Shepherds pie was a frequent supper in our family and it was always made with beef. I never even heard of Cottage pie until I read about it here a couple years ago. That being said, I sometimes pick up some ground lamb and use it to make Shepherds pie, instead of the more common beef. |

The names of food will typically change in different geographical locations.. Most times, it changes once it reaches different lands. The stuff we call "chili" is not the same stuff served in Texas. The local chili here has a lot of sugar, beans, and mayo in it and it's served over rice. It's roots lie in Cincinnati rather than Texas. How this happened, I haven't a clue. |

The last word should be for the inventors of vichyssoise: "La vichyssoise est une soupe, faite de purée de pomme de terre, de blanc de poireau et de bouillon de poule, avec ou sans oignon, liée Ã* la crème fraîche et condimentée de ciboulettes ciselées." <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vichyssoise> Vichyssoise is a soup made of pureed potatoes, leek whites and chicken stock, with or without onion, thickened with creme fraiche, with added chopped chives. |

I didn't see any cinnamon in the recipes for Hawaii-style chili that I found on the web, so it's difficult to see a connection with Cincinnati. Cindy Hamilton |

"Chili" is short for "chili con carne" which means meat cooked with peppers. Americans, being lazy, like to call it "chili." "Chili sauce" is a sauce that can be made with tomatoes and spicy peppers or just peppers. Mostly, Americans will use a sweet, tomato based, bottle sauce of the Heinz brand. I've never used the stuff myself but these days, I'll use a Chinese style chili sauce. https://www.myamericanmarket.com/307...hili-sauce.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....L._SL1500_.jpg |

The dish we call "chili" is formally named "Chile con Carne", or "hot capsicums with meat". Other ingredients such as tomatoes, cumin, beans, and others have become common. In home kitchens, people add as much or as little hot peppers as they want. Conceivably, that could be zero. It would be very uncommon, though, and most people wouldn't really recognize that as chili. For my part, chili must contain ancho chiles (a dried, fairly mild pepper) or it doesn't taste like chili. I've seen a chili recipe that doesn't contain any tomatoes; it derives all of its red color from peppers. I generally spell the meat stew as "chili" and the capsicums as "chile", but that's by no means universal. Cindy Hamilton |

Sometimes, two sauces are better than one. The weird thing about it is that it's in the same jar as strawberry jam. It even looks like strawberry jam. That's just asking for trouble! I don't know what's in this stuff either but it has a nice prickly spiciness. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/12...v=157143 8961 |
