Catching pots and what-not
As is my normal activity in winter, I've been making soup today so that I'll have delicious lunches for the week and won't have to rely on campus catering facilities. But once again, my damn soup has caught to the bottom of the pot. This happens a lot and it really bugs me! I'm using my lovely Le Creuset, have the temp turned down as low as it can go and have plenty of liquid in the soup. Does anyone know how to stop things sticking/catching to the bottom of the pot?? I'm a fan of char-grilled flavour, for sure, but I wasn't really going for a char-grilled soup flavour. I'm not convinced it'll work...

Sorry, can think of no solutions other than constant stirring and/or leaving those ingredients that tend to catch or thicken the soup (i.e. the legumes?) out until the end. What did you put in your soup?
ReplyDeleteWell, I know it involves another pot, but one solution might be to cook or par-cook them separately in loads of water and nothing else.
