DUCK SOUP

This is Russell's speciality. This soup is easy to make, though it takes a bit of planning. It is a complete and filling meal made the way we do. The original recipe came from an Ian Parmenter cookbook, but I doubt he'd recognise his recipe now! Prep and cooking time are just a guess-and don't include overnight refrigeration of the stock or marinated meat-sorry about that! I like to add snow peas or asparagus to this sometimes too.

BROTHY TOMATO SOUP

In this recipe, you use bacon renderings as the base of the soup. This adds a nice smokey flavor that pairs nicely with the pungent, spicy flavors from the kimchi and gochujang. Finish the soup with some of the crumbled bacon or pair it with a grilled cheese sandwich for a nice twist on the classic soup and sandwich combo.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
1 cup drained kimchi, roughly chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon gochujang, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Thinly sliced scallions, for topping

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to paper towels and reserve for the grilled cheese. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the drippings from the pot.
  • Add the kimchi and onion to the pot. Cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the gochujang and brown sugar and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated and the bottom of the pot is starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the soup is slightly reduced and thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove 1 1/2 cups soup from the pot and transfer to a blender; puree until smooth. Return to the pot and stir to combine. Add more gochujang if desired, 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
  • Divide the soup among bowls. Top with sliced scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right duck: A young duck will have more tender meat than an older duck.
  • Brown the duck before simmering: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the duck: Overcooked duck will be tough and dry.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the soup with noodles or rice: This will make it a more filling meal.

Conclusion:

Duck soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a duck soup that your family and friends will love.
