Re: Re: Food questions- souffle bread, melting cheese and white beans

[Guest guest]

Would Marilyn's brie/cheddar sauce work then add the soup to the cheese?  Has anyone tried adding chicken stock to it to make it more of a soup--does it work?

Amber, do you have one of those little immersion stick blenders? I bet that would help blend your cheese into the soup. Or, you could just dump it into a regular blender. We just made broccoli soup tonight (blended in the Vitamix), and I took a picture to show what it looks like. I'll post it tomorrow (it's getting late here).

Just put in a little at a time at a very low heat and keep stirring vigorously

the whole time.

Immersion blenders are very handy for other things like making mayonnaise and

not pricey, btw.

inspired to make broccoli cheese soup by the recipe you posted earlier, but I

don't have a Vitamix, so just followed another recipe. I've tried twice now to

melt the cheese and have not been successful. Seriously, how hard can it be to

melt cheese? Apparently very hard for some of us!

Actually, if you take the brie sauce and stir in a bit of broth to make

it more soup-like, then add cooked chopped broccoli, you'd have a pretty

good soup.

Yeah, I kind of thought the wax

paper wasn't right, because when I was cooking it, it smelled like I was

baking crayons! I didn't know they sell parchment paper at the regular

grocery store, I'll have to check that out.

D'you know, my husband was the one who spotted the parchment at the

grocery store? I was lamenting that Linen-n-Things had closed and where

was I going to get parchment? and he'd gone to the store to pick up a

couple of things, and came home with it and said, " Is this what you

need? " I just about fell over!

Thanks for the other tips too!

I'm usually not bad in the kitchen, but this last week has me

wondering...

It's a whole new world. When you cook, you need to know the properties of

your foods when you're combining them to get a certain effect. For

instance, I can now look at a recipe which calls for butter, flour, and

milk, and say, " AH, they're making a white sauce! " and know

that if I just sub some well-drained yogurt, or blended DCCC with a

little broth, I can get the same effect. Once you learn the

parameters, it all falls together!

Here's a link to the Broccoli Cheese Soup picture. Doesn't look real appetizing, but it's very tasty:

And here's proof that it's tasty, Nikko the bird shovels down a spoonful. I mistakenly fed her squash beforehand, so she didn't quite dive in with her usual gusto. But her motto is, there's always room for soup:

Holly,Sounds like a similar story to my dog involving french fries! Pets can be so like children sometimes. ; )AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, September 20, 2010 4:32:44 AMSubject: Re: Food questions- souffle bread,

Nikko is a big fan of pureed foods that are piping hot AND handfed. She would make a terrible wild bird, and here she is only one generation removed from her African ancestry ;-).

And because I can't help myself, another bird story. Nikko sits on the back of a chair at the dinner table (seen in video), because birds are big about being with the flock during important events (EATING). Of course, she is not allowed on the table. The other night, one of my dad's non-SCD corn chips was laying on the table, and she jumped down on the table, snatched it, and jumped back on the chair before she could get yelled at. A sneaky thief!

Thanks for the good tips.

So how did your broccoli and cheese soup turn out this time?
