Flavortown Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 At some point during my hours of crafting chicken noodle soup over the past few days, between straining stock and discussing the process with leleboo, a thought struck me: I really like soup...why not see what other kinds people can cook up? And so the notion of a soup exchange was born. Leleboo provided the title, and she's offering to host it. Friday, January 22nd is the date. Here's the idea: whoever wants to take part signs up to cover a subset of soup, and then makes whatever soup they'd like that falls into this category. We gather at leleboo's place, and have a multicourse meal of soups and maybe some small accompaniments, depending on what's appropriate for the soups being served. The idea would be to have no two soups that are too similar, and hopefully to cover a broad spectrum of flavors, textures, ethnicities, and so on. Some of the categories that sprung to mind... Noodle Soup Chowder Stew Bisque Consommé Purée/Velouté Chilled Soup Obviously, some categories have way more variety than others and could be taken on by multiple people - for example, "stew" could reasonably encompass a number of drastically different dishes, from a fish stew like Bouillabaisse or Cioppino, to Gumbo, to a beef stew. So, there's wiggle room, and more than one person may be able to pick certain categories. We've got plenty of time to decide who'll do what, so feel free to start posting ideas. Given the way this will work (everyone who takes part will have to cook enough food for all the others), and the number of people who can be seated comfortably, the cap for this event will have to be 10. Lastly, I claim Chicken Noodle Soup. Attendance List (Full) Gennaro -- Chicken Noodle Soup (Noodle Soups) Leleboo -- Butternut Squash with Sage Soup (Purée/Velouté) DanielK -- Oxtail Stew (Meat Stew) Goodeats - Winter Melon with Pork Soup (Clear Soup - Chinese) Xochitl10 - Ozouni with Meat and Salmon Roe (Clear Soup - Japanese) Zirkminsky - Roasted Tomato Bisque with Herb Toasts and Mussels (Seafood Bisque) KMango - Batting Cleanup (Something We Don't Have) Marketfan - Chilled Beet Soup? (Cold Soup) Hillvalley - Bread, Cheese, Etc. (Accoutrement Duty) All right guys, sorry to those who may still be tempted by the allure of so many soups in on place, on one day, but we've reached our cap (between people providing food and +1s). However, there is a wait list that a maximum of 5 people can sign up for. If somebody suddenly has to back out, you'll be asked to swoop in with the soup you've offered to make (hopefully with enough notice to actually cook it).

leleboo Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Leleboo -- Butternut Squash with Sage Soup (er, Puree/Velouté, I guess? also totally vegetarian, and I guess even vegan because it doesn't use cream) *open to variations, particularly, oh, curried squash...

leleboo Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 All -- I'll post more about logistics closer to the date, but I'm already getting excited for the soup swap! How does Chinese soups fit in? I would like to sign up, but my soup knowledge doesn't exactly fit into any of those categories (although I am just getting into the purees and stews). goodeats -- it might cross categories, but I would think that's fine, as long as it's not too similar to something already on the list. But, for example, I would think a Chinese chicken noodle soup might hit a lot of different flavors than GennaroE's, so it could be interested to taste side-by-side!

Flavortown Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 How does Chinese soups fit in? I would like to sign up, but my soup knowledge doesn't exactly fit into any of those categories (although I am just getting into the purees and stews). Depends on the soup, of course. But leleboo is right - I'm sure whatever you'd bring is different enough that it'd be more than worth having. I was thinking either wintermelon soup (with pork) or another comforting pork-based soup.... Sounds good to me. Wikipedia describes it has having a chicken stock base, with vegetables (including the melon), and meat. Is that right? Wikipedia also has it classified as a savory "Fruit Soup," so we can go with that. I'll list that soup for now, and if you decide to do a different pork soup instead (pig is always welcome), just let me know. I'm in. I'll bring a traditional New Year's soup from the region of Japan we lived in. Involves meat and salmon roe. Is this Zoni? Looking forward to it, whatever the name is.

Flavortown Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 An aside: we're going to need lots of bowls. And, if nobody claims Onion Soup, I intend to do mini ramekins of it as an amuse-bouche. I think that would be pretty BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost the perfect food. That sounds super awesome.... So, we're at our cap, and that means our soup line-up is almost finalized (save for those wild cards amongst us). The only way somebody else could possibly get in would be to make either a chowder or a cheese soup -- they would then become my new best friend, and I'd have to let them join. Seriously though, I was expecting at least one soup to be totally cream or cheese laden, and instead all these creative things I'd never even heard of cropped up. I'm really looking forward to this event, and over the next few days we'll iron out the logistics of soup transport, storage, heating, and eating. Anybody with suggestions on how they imagine this whole thing working should feel free to post here or shoot me and leleboo a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leleboo Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 we'll iron out the logistics of soup transport, storage, heating, and eating. Just to follow up ... I've already been thinking over a couple of different systems that will work for heating and serving that work with the equipment I've got (stove, oven, fridge -- the basics, y'know) -- thanks, hillvalley, for some excellent ideas on the process! If you will need [a] prep space/time and/or nonconventional kitchen equipment that you are not yourself bringing, please let me know sooner rather than later, so we can determine if I have it, or if we need to track it down. Wine and/or beer pairings with your soup might be fun. Not that everyone needs to bring enough to serve 10 people, as that can get outrageously expensive! But if you have something you think would be excellent with your contribution, please bring it and we can have a wee bit. I'll provide other beverages and the tableware, so if you'd like to chip in a couple bucks to cover the paper goods, that'd be sweet. I will also PM the final list my address and contact info nearer to the event, so you have it handy. Mmmm...soup.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flavortown Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 A pot of chicken stock in the refrigerator, a pile of beef and veal bones waiting for their chance to shine later tonight...I foresee late night cooking in my future. A disappointing revelation (that I should have come to much sooner): my mini refrigerator does not fit two pots of soup. So I'll be picking up a cooler and some ice to hold the second pot until it's time to bring it to the rendezvous point (had to use the word: it makes this exchange sound even more BA, and it matches the ethnicity of the soup). Tonight I'll also be stopping by Calvert Woodley Liquors to buy Gruyere and to pick up the beer I'm pairing with my onion soup. Pretty sure I'll be going for one of my favorites, Ommegang's Abbey Ale, a Belgian dubbel. The Chicken Soup will be allowed to stand on its own, for fear of being eclipsed by the flavor of drink. Has anybody else thought out their drink pairings yet? They have the potential to add yet another layer of creativity to this crazy event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMango Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Soup may be filling. But The Great Soup Exchange of 2010 was fulfilling. No flagging down a waiter to replenish an empty water glass. No lamenting loss of tranquility when that boisterous group availed themselves of the adjacent table. Instead, the evening provided a colorful and bountiful parade of hand-tendered signature soups. Paired with conversation, we feasted like kings, and left nourished in more ways than one. GennaroE: The French onion soup knocked my socks off. But when paired with the beer, I think my feet fell off, too. I know you probably won’t believe us all, but it was seriously the perfect pairing. And I do hope we saved some of the bring-your-manna-back-up-to-100 chicken noodle soup for hillvalley! I know we meant to, but may have forgotten in our brothy comas. Marketfan: I had no idea beet gazpacho (clever re-branding!) could be so visually stunning. And the flavors, brilliant and keenly memorable. Each spicy kick a tease for the cooling bite to follow, waves of violet intrigue. A stunner of a soup, thank you for that intensely delicious and interesting experience. Goodeats: Those lamb wontons must become obligatory starters for all future gatherings! And the rice cakes such a joy. Your winter melon soup and the richly flavored pork stock are still on my mind this morning. I have my fingers crossed a recipe is forthcoming so I can replicate it in the very near future. Leleboo: How did you get so much interesting flavor into such a healthful and satisfying squash soup? The fried sage provided the perfect accent of bright awesome. I also should have alerted FEMA on the way out the door that we left your home a disaster area. Bless you (again and again) for hosting and for what must have been a heck of a time restoring order to your kitchen. DanielK: Smart, smart, smart to insist the oxtail soup arrive last in the series. I doubt I have ever encountered a better version of this dish. Masterful, outrageously rich and interesting, and when paired with the wine, a castle-worthy peasant feast. ol_ironstomach: So glad you could join the event. What a whirlwind of a day you had! Hats off for the bread, wine (especially the cava), and not laughing too hard at the final course. As anchorperson, the technique for the dessert soup is pasted below. I knew the evening would feature a parade of richly diverse soups. So my intended concept was Saturday morning cartoon breakfast cereal meets hints of grandma’s rice pudding married with a smoky/salted accent nostalgia for something not quite remembered. That intention hit the schizophrenic mark, and was texturally interesting, but flavor development could use more work. Next time, I will take more care with rounding out the almond milk base, ensuring it has more depth. Also, I would choose a more complementing sherry, one with more overt date or almond or whisper smoke notes. The Great Soup Exchange of 2010 lived up to it's name, and then some. Engaging conversation, outstanding flavors, and hopefully a harbinger of more sharing events to come. ================== Great Soup Exchange Dessert Soup Makes 9 or 10 servings, with some apples and dates leftover. Almond Milk Base (mix 8 cups chilled almond milk with one vanilla bean, 4 tablespoons maple syrup or more to taste, and several shakes of of pimentón) 12 Dates (chop, these become the bottom “layer” of the soup) 2 or 3 Locally Grown Apples (mince these, mix with finely ground cinnamon and a touch of finely ground coffee; if chopped ahead of time, make sure to add a splash of lemon juice to prevent apple discoloration) 1/4 pound or more Raw, Sliced Almonds (ahead of time, sauté these with butter and a liberal dose of Penzey’s 4S Smoky Salt until the almonds are well-toasted) Pimentón (final garnish) Place the chopped dates and apples into the bottom of each bowl. Ladle the very chilled almond milk base over each serving. Sprinkle the almonds liberally on top. Garnish with an additional shake of pimentón. Serve with a complementing sherry.
