How About a Home Stew? - Nubblies.net Forums

Any of you guys ever make soup or stew? I do here in Korea from time to time because canned soup (of course) doesn't really exist in this country. I feel like a surprising few people actually make soup from scratch because soup is so readily available, but every time I make a batch it grows on me considerably more than it did before.

Pretty much all you do is start boiling a bunch of water and throwing some stuff in. Obviously. I like experimenting with a lot of random foodstuffs I have lying around, just to see what it will taste like and because who am I kidding, I'm going to eat it no matter what it tastes like.

You have to time it right to put in the things that will add more flavor/take longer to boil first. For example, I put onions in first so the flavor can be released and mixed in with the rest of the soup. Potatoes go in first too because they take longer to boil. Sweet potatoes shortly after. Also make sure you don't put things that will boil and be too soft in towards the end-- I made that mistake with the rice, it ended up being very squishy (because it was already cooked). Mushrooms too, generally wait until the end or they'll practically liquify.

I didn't think to take pictures until the end, so I only got like three pictures. My ingredients:

Water
Salt
Pepper
Cajun Pepper
Around 1 cup Prego Spaghetti Sauce
Hot Sauce
1 Onion
2 Potatoes
1 Sweet potato
2-3 cups rice
2 chicken breasts
A dash of Coca Cola

When you're finished, if you make a big enough pot, you'll have enough for 3-4 bachelormeals throughout the week. Bon appetite, bitches.

Why "of course" does canned soup not exist in Korea? Seems pretty surprising to me.

Mr. Blonde · 01-15-2011, 10:16 AM

I exaggerated, it does exist but it's usually expensive as it's imported and most foreign brands are delicacies here. Also very thinly spread at random locations in Korea, unless I want to haul my ass to Costco once every couple weeks. Koreans just aren't big on canned soups for home, the eating out culture is huge.

I made a home stew in my toilet tonight.

I'm all about crock pots. Prep all the shit the night before, throw the potatos, carrots, other shit that takes forever in in the morning and turn it on. About mid afternoon I start adding the other ingredients, and it's ready by dinner as if by magic.

That's not magic!

Ironic Mustache · 01-25-2011, 03:21 PM

Who are you to say what magic is. Unless of course... Do you... Do you know magic?
