Soup

[Toddy]

You can just pour the soup, veg and all into a metal sieve. Then use the back of a spoon to press (you kind of swirl the spoon around pressing gently down) on the solids. It's how we used to make baby food when we couldn't be bothered breaking out the Mouli....you still see those for a pound or so in charity shops since most folks now use electric gadgets.

That's a baby sized one, mine takes a potful and sits over a pot to caw the handle.

Hot soup is in some ways better than a cup of green tea but I have noticed that a mix of pure amino acids is what keeps you going the longest. Taste is nothing to speak of and avoid hot water but nothing else returns the aching muscles as well to working condition. After that a cupful of soup.

I had wild boar sausage stew today.

Heavenly

You must have online, long established herb and spice merchants like we do.
No salt, no MSG (you add what you want) chicken, vegetable and beef stock powders are a couple of clicks away. 1/4 jar and I order more not to ever run out.

Of course I can shop with One Hung Low and get a soup stock that has to be nothing but MSG & salt. no kidding. They must have cast iron guts.

I really like Sapporo Chicken Ichiban noodle soup, usually for winter morning. Dull. Blah. I add 1/2 tsp chicken or veg stock powder and a handful of fine dice green onion. Let that steep for a few minutes. I've been known to throw in a handful of frozen peas for a treat.

Ha, this thread was tough to find. Had to use Marigold as the search term in the end. Lovely to post directly under one of Brian Tighe's old posts, RIP mate

Just found this in the supermarket and it tastes pretty much like the little stock powder sachet in chicken noodles. Nothing in the ingredient suggest there's any chicken flavouring or chicken actually in it, but it's not bad in a salty kind of way.

If anyone would like a little bag posted I'll find my stash of little zip tie baggies and happily send you some, there's far too much for me to consume before mid 2026, that's a 700g tub!

Just had one of these as I wanted to trial some Tom Yum sour type soups/noodles

Very good. Easy base to add to - leafy greens , egg, peanuts , pickled onion etc

I keep a jar of tom yum hot and sour paste in the fridge at work. Two dessertspoons of paste in my 300ml double walled glass, 200ml of boiling water, stir, then 100ml of cold water and it's done. It makes for a good, quick breakfast on a cold day.

At midday I put the paste in a bowl, add boiling water and stir, then add a portion of udon, cover and wait for five or so minutes and it's done.
