How do you make pea soup?

Answer 1

I get a can of Campbells Tomato soup, and follow the instructions on the back. I use milk, not water.

It's very easy, and all you'll need is a saucepan and a stove.

You can add pepper or grated cheese or oyster crackers, whatever way you like it.

You can dunk bread in it, so that you fill up more and the meal goes further.

If anyone has a homemade recipe, please add it next.

You will need:

1 can of Campbells soup. And the amount of milk the instructions on the can call for.

Mix according to instructions conveniently printed on back of can. It will also say how to heat it.

Stir.

Remove from stove.

Add pepper or grated cheese or oyster crackers to taste.

(Dip bread in it, so as to fill you up even more.)

or simply buy from asda and put in a bowl n put in micowave for however long it says to.

Answer 2

First, fill a 5-quart stock pot about halfway with cold tap water. Add a tray of ice cubes to get it nice and cold. Peel potatoes (I'd start with 8-10 medium-sized, and adjust as needed), dropping each one into the cold water in your stock pot immediately after peeling to keep it from turning brown. After peeling, cut up your potatoes into about 1-inch cubes, returning the cubed potatoes immediately to the stock pot. You will need enough cubed potatoes to fill your stock pot about 2/3 full. If the potatoes start piling up above the top of the water, add more water to keep them covered. When you have enough potatoes, pour the water out of the stock pot, refill it with cold tap water, and rinse, repeating as necessary to remove all the dirst, dust, peels, etc. When clean, put enough cold tap water back in the pot to again cover the potatoes, and add another tray of ice to keep them cold so they won't turn brown while you're performing the next step.

Then sautee some celery and onions in butter or margarine in a skillet. For a 5-quart stock pot, you will need maybe 3-4 celery stalks and a whole medium-sized onion (or half a large onion). It's really a matter of your own personal taste, so feel free to experiment with this. I like to put the celery in the skillet first and let it sautee for a couple of minutes before I put the onions in. Celery is tougher and requires more time to soften up. You don't have to get the celery and onions completely translucent - the soup is going to simmer for a while, and this will help soften them up more. If you sautee them too long in the beginning, they will completely disintegrate by the time the soup is done.

When the celery and onions are done, drain the water off of your potatoes, removing any unmelted ice cubes as well. Then pour in enough cold milk to cover the potatoes. You can use 2% milk if you want, but the soup won't be as rich as if you use whole milk. I wouldn't use 1% or skim milk. Then add a whole stick of butter or margarine (you can cut it up if you want it to melt more quickly) and one can of Cream of Celery Soup (I use the cheap brand, not Campbells). Stir to incorporate the Cream of Celery Soup into the milk. At this time, you can also add salt and black pepper. But be careful. A little salt goes a long way if you use it early in the cooking. And for pepper, there's nothing like fresh-ground. I used to think people who ground their own pepper were snobs, but since I tried it, I'll never go back to pre-ground pepper. Just buy yourself a cheap pepper mill and a jar of whole peppercorns and see for yourself. If you can adjust your pepper mill, set it to finest grind possible.

Put the stock pot on a burner over medium-high heat. Slowly heat to boiling, stirring often, almost constantly. The frequency and method of stirring are very important here. Use a flat wooden spatula to scrape the bottom as you stir, and be sure to get a lot of vertical mixing as you stir. Unlike water, milk can burn, and if it does, your soup is ruined. So you have to keep moving the milk on the bottom of the pot. If you start scraping up solid stuff on the bottom of your pot, the milk is starting to burn. But as long as the solid stuff is still white, or nearly white, you're okay. Just turn down the heat a little. If you start scraping brown stuff off the bottom of your pot, the milk is burnt, and you'll have to start over.

Once the pot comes to a boil (it doesn't have to be a rolling boil, but more than a few bubbles here and there), turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer, uncovered. Stir FREQUENTLY, every five minutes or less. Again, make sure you scrape the bottom of your pot and mix the soup vertically. If it drops below a simmer, you need to turn the heat up. But not too high. Just enough to maintain the simmer. If it gets above a simmer, turn the heat down.

You want to boil this until the potatoes are well cooked and starting to fall apart, but not completely disintegrated. This may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. The starch from the potatoes will make the soup thicker, and the thicker it gets, the more likely you are to burn it, so stirring remains very important. The starch will try to settle on the bottom, and it will burn quickly down there, so keep scraping and stirring, and carefully watching your simmer, and adjusting the heat as necessary. If you ever scrape up brown stuff, it's ruined.

At some point, the soup might become too thick for you to keep it from burning. If this happens, you will need to stir in more liquid. However, you should NEVER add more milk after the initial filling of the pot with milk. The added milk will scorch immediately in the hot soup and it will be ruined. If you need to add more liquid, use water.

When the soup is done, remove it from the burner and let it cool for at least 10 minutes (maybe even 20), stirring occasionally to help it cool more quickly. You want to serve it hot, but not molten-lava-hot. Serve in a bowl, with bacon and or cheese if desired. After leftover soup has cooled to room temperature, or nearly so, it can be refrigerated in a lidded plastic container. In the refrigerator, the soup will get much thicker, perhaps even solidifying. When reheating, you can add more milk to thin it down, but only BEFORE you put the pot on the burner. And stirring is still very important. I don't recommend microwaving leftover potato soup. The heating is too uneven in a microwave and the soup is too thick to adequately distribute the heat through the soup. You'll end up with one spoonful hot enough to scald your mouth, and the next spoonful ice-cold.

There are different ways to make potato soup. It all depends what you want to have in it!

This is a basic recipe that also uses stock.

(For potato soup without stock, see recipe in Related links below)

425g potatoes

100g onions

salt

pepper

butter (50g)

900ml stock (already made, or make using stock cubes or stock powder)

120ml creamy milk

fresh herbs

# First catch some potatoes (maybe three or four)

# Wash and peel them, dice into small (5mm) chunks. This makes them cook quicker.

# Cut the onions into small (5 mm) bits

# Get a big saucepan, melt the butter in it until it (the butter!) starts to bubble.

# Put the potatoes and onions in the saucepan and stir around so that everything is covered with butter # Add seasoning to taste - e.g. salt and ground pepper. (You might need somewhere between half and one teaspoonful of salt) # Cover the saucepan and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes While it is simmering, make up some stock, perhaps chicken or vegetable. If you use a stock cube or a stock powder, this will only take a few minutes. (Alternatively, use home-made stock, but this could take a couple of hours to prepare, so obviously you'll need to have this on hand before you start making the potato soup!)

8. Bring the stock to the boil.

9. When the potatoes and onions have softened, but before they start changing color, pour the stock onto them, and continue cooking for a further 10-15 minutes or until all the vegetables are quite soft.

10. Add the milk

11. Mix everything with a blender or in a food processor until you have a nice purée.

12. Taste, and season to taste.

13. Serve with small sprinkling of freshly chopped herbs.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are boiled and soft, pour out the water.

Step 5

Lower the temperature to a medium. Add milk and butter to your preferred thickness.

Step 6

Stir and taste. When the soup has blended together well, you are done! You can add some bacon bits or cheese to top it off.

Answer 5

This depends on what kind of soup you are making. A generic soup can be made by putting water in a big pot, adding vegetables, meats, etc, and bringing the soup to a boil. Remeber to stir in the poo!

Answer 6

first boil water some minutes after evaporated of water take tomato to mix it with boil water and after 5 minutes. some salt also mix for your taste basis. and filter into a jar. Read to eat tomato soup.

Answer 7

You can thicken potato soup by mixing 2 - 3 tablespoons of flour in about a cup of cold water. Whisk briskly to reduce lumps. Add it to the soup. Expect some small lumps to surface as it begins to cook, but the lumps should cook away. Simmer it slowly until it thickens. If it is too thick, add a little milk.

Another great way to thicken potato soup is to add instant potato flakes in increments to the boiling soup until you reach the desired thickness. Stir well after each addition.

Answer 8

add more flour
