Kentucky Derby's Vegetable Soup. Kentucky Derby's Vegetable Soup is my favorite because I can make some for the children and I can feel good that they eat all their vegetables while also enjoying a warm yummy soup. They enjoy it as well as I do preparing it, its very simple try it and see how fast you can have that soup on the table.
First of all, you need good base. A chicken broth is a good start. To make
one, buy yourself 30 cents worth of chicken. Let it boil with 2 liters of
water and a little salt for two or three hours. You actually need around 2
or 3 cups of the stuff, depending on how much soup you want to make, and
strong your broth is.
Then buy yourself fresh vegetables: Try patatoes, tomatoes, onions, zucchinis,
mushrooms, spinachs... etc. 5 to 8 different vegetables, not more than that.
Add salt, pepper, garlic and one spice of your choice, like teragoen, origano
or rosemary. Once again, don't over do it! You want to be able to taste every
ingredient in your soup.
The broth is very important. It's what brings all the taste together.
Then put the broth and the vegetables in one large cauldron. Add water until
it reaches 2/3 of the cauldron. Add the salt. Set your stove to medium heat
and let leave it alone for a good 3 to 4 hours. You can add water if you find
there's not enough of it. Add your main spice half an hour before the soup is
done.
There it is! If you wish to add rice or pastas, i suggest you add them already
cooked, within the last hour of cooking.
The Perfect soup for me, it is so easy and different. You can change the ingredients a bit without changing the flavor much its rich in spice and you will like it very much.

Kentucky Derby MENU IDEAS |
|
In America, horse racing and The kentucky derby are synonymous. Each year, the horses take the track and each year, Americans throw Kentucky Derby parties. What would a Kentucky Derby party be without a Kentucky Derby menu? This Kentucky Derby menu is just the ticket to get all your guests ready for post time.
An elegant, classic appetizer for a Kentucky Derby menu is a shrimp cocktail. For larger groups on a budget, serve shrimp on large platters with cocktail sauce at the center. For smaller groups, or when a larger budget is available; consider serving shrimp around the rim of martini glasses. With the event occurring in the spring, a rack of lamb is an excellent choice of main dish for your Kentucky Derby menu. Finish off the Kentucky Derby menu and leave your guests satisfied with Derby Pie, the sweet, syrupy dessert that is a Kentucky Derby tradition.
Of course, a Kentucky Derby menu cannot be complete without mint juleps for the guests. Begin by making simple syrup of two cups sugar and two cups water. Boil the sugar water until the sugar has dissolved completely, about five minutes. Cool the simple syrup and place in a covered container with six to eight sprigs of fresh mint. Refrigerate the mixture overnight. Fill a julep cup or highball with crushed ice. Add one ounce mint syrup and two ounces Kentucky bourbon. Stir rapidly and garnish with fresh mint. Be sure to have these ready for the start of the greatest spectacle in horse racing.
Imagine the fun your friends will have at your next Kentucky Derby holiday party when served this elegant Kentucky Derby menu. Plan ahead, most of these items can be prepared in advance. With preparation, you can enjoy a hassle free Kentucky Derby menu while sipping on a smooth mint julep. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
a complete Kentucky Derby theme party feeling. |
