Who was it? I think it was Matt who stated what he did to thin out a cream soup. It wasn't just a clear liquid, if memory serves me correct. You want it thinned out yet still maintain a creamy suspension.

Is this the "awesome soup" thread or the "awesome TG soup" thread? It will change my contribution(s) to the thread.

Update: tried out the carrot/parsnip soup some more over the weekend and I definitely need much more stock. Not sure wtf I was thinking on that first attempt. Getting the mixture to a soupy consistency before putting it through the food mill seemed to be a good indication of the resulting soup. Then running the soup through a fine sieve also gives it a great texture, though if I was just cooking for myself I would probably skip this step.

All that said, I just tried the butternut squash recipe from Bouchon that's been mentioned on the board a few times and I'm going to serve that instead.

Can anyone provide me with a good butternut squash or pumpkin soup recipe? Possibly something reasonable in terms of skill level...

I've posted this before, but it's just such darn good soup. Be careful not to add too much broc water at the end, otherwise the soup will be too thin.

Is this actually good? I really like broccoli, so I guess I'm going to have to try it.

O.K., I made some dashi from kombu and bonito, and I will follow Matt's advice about pouring it piping-hot over thinly-sliced scallops. My chives are doing really well still, so I'll probably put some 2 inch sprigs into the bowl with the scallops beforehand.

Is this what the pilgrims ate? F no, but it should serve my purpose.

Unbelievably good and people will think you've created a masterpiece. Remember about not adding too much broc water back during blending. And it doesn't have to be that specific cheese, anything that'll melt a tad will work.

you gonna add anything else? I'm indifferent about the dashi, but I wouldn't need more than 2 spoons of it own its own really for it to serve its purpose. How about building on the poached seafood idea and doing a little trio of things, like a nice prawn, the scallops, and something else? Any vegetables? You could wilt some cucumber in salt and squeeze it and arrange it in there as well, for a bit of snap. A snow pea or two maybe?

No, the kind of cheese does matter. Otherwise you'd be operating under the assumption that all cheeses are the same.

Texture, acidity, salt, fat, strength... these all vary from cheese to cheese.

The simplicity seems like an issue, but bear in mind that this soup is prefacing a very, very rich dinner. Scallops, dashi, and chives are plain, but flavorful enough to suit my objective.
