Soups and Stews
-
Well as I mentioned in another thread, it’s time for a soup and stew thread. Here is what I quickly threw together tonight when I got home from work. It’s a simple potato soup that quick and easy, I won’t take credit for inventing it, it came from my Vitamix cookbook. You will need to fry up a few slices of bacon and sautee 1/4 cup of onion to begin with. Then microwave a couple potatoes, put one cooked potato in the blender with 1 1/3 cup of milk, 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup sauteed onion, put the lid on and turn it on and crank it up to high for 5 minutes or until steam start coming out of the top of the blender. Next add the remaining potatoe, bacon, 1/3 cup more cheese and salt and blend for about 30 seconds on a lower speed. This step will give the soup a chunkier consistency. I will caution you that to get the soup to heat up in the blender you will need a higher end blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, I’m sure there are others brands that will do it, but those are the first to come to mind. You could probably get away with making this in a lower end blender but you would probably need to heat on the stove at the end of the process.

Well tonight I made brisket chili using cubed up point from a brisket I had smoked last summer. It gives the chili a great smokey flavor.
-
Tex_77 Oh, I’m 100% stealing that idea, Brisket chili sounds amazing!
-
Tex_77 Was the Brisket smoked and then frozen or did you sear it before adding it to the chili?
-
Jonathon smoked and frozen. It also goes great in beef stew.
