But, I'm not sure a soup without fresh garlic and onions would make it past the taste testers in the Sephardi Household, lol. :) Thanks for sharing. Fortunately it is always easy to modify soups.Orthonomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892074485262548496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-78995984831354514852008-03-11T20:43:00.000-04:002008-03-11T20:43:00.000-04:00Abbi,It could be just a matter of taste difference...Abbi,<BR/>It could be just a matter of taste differences or it could be the type of dried spice. Here they sell both granulated and powdered onion and garlic powder. You have to check the brands. The granulated I find works and tastes better. It incorporates more evenly and tastes like fresh. The powdered variety sometimes clumps together giving you an odd taste.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-30709373744055320102008-03-11T17:42:00.000-04:002008-03-11T17:42:00.000-04:00sorry, my meat suggestions were really for the spl...sorry, my meat suggestions were really for the split pea soup.<BR/><BR/>For any soup, if you cook your onions for at least 20-30 minutes on a low flame, covered and add the garlic for the last five minutes, they melt into the soup. They also create a richer base for the soup (you're essentially carmelizing them). I find the powders are too heavy and metallic tasting, even after a long cooking.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-36019680169198643812008-03-11T13:51:00.000-04:002008-03-11T13:51:00.000-04:00Abbi,I'm sure it tastes great made fleishig.

I like making this particular soup pareve though because I can serve it to any meal I am preparing and I don't have to worry about whether the meal is fleishig or milchig.<BR/><BR/>Using the onion and garlic powder is for a few reasons. One, it's awfully convenient just to sprinkle in these two spices. Two, given the amount of seasoning, in the tablespoons, the cost differential between fresh and powdered becomes equal. Three, my family doesn't like the pieces of onion and garlic in this soup but does like the flavor.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-73669481560669892382008-03-11T12:40:00.000-04:002008-03-11T12:40:00.000-04:00Is there a specific reason to use onion/garlic pow...Is there a specific reason to use onion/garlic powder instead of the real thing?<BR/><BR/>Also I make this with boneless turkey thigh meat or beef stew meat and my husband adores it.Commenter Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753256568022159103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-13795631312071489422008-03-11T09:01:00.000-04:002008-03-11T09:01:00.000-04:00Matt,You absolutely must start getting more sleep!...Matt,<BR/>You absolutely must start getting more sleep! A soup recipe as a metaphor for shidduchim and marriage? You mean the part where the various ingredients all come together as individuals and end up as one unit? You mean the one where it takes all kinds of vegetables to make a soup and it takes all kinds of people to make shidduchim? You mean the part where if you leave out the spices you have a bland mix--maybe palatable to some but not for others? I wouldn't think of it.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-50622193525329143572008-03-11T08:36:00.000-04:002008-03-11T08:36:00.000-04:00Is this soup recipe real, or is it yet another ela...Is this soup recipe real, or is it yet another elaborate metaphor for dating or marriage? . . .
