Hello people,
My Thanksgiving appetizers are these dumplings/hashbrowns with chicken, potatoes and spices. So I wanted to offset the crispy crunchy with a soup. But I didnt want to make a heavy one like Sweet corn and chicken.. I want a light clear broth (EASY TO MAKE) soup.
Any ideass… well ofcourse you guys have ideas!! you all ROCK!
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
sweet corn and chicken isn't heavy! at least not the way i make it..
anyways, if u want a really light soup i guess u could do miso? do ppl like it at ur house?
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
what's the rest of ur menu muniya?
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
the rest of the menu is heavy lekin its the appetziers that I am confused about -
Miso would be perfect - screw them! They'll eat it or else!
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
How about Tom Yum soup....the one with lemon grass...make it with shrimp..its pretty light..and zety
no clue about recipe though. Are you making amreekan turkey or desi style.
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
hahaha, do a marie antoinette and say it’s hash browns and miso soup, else ya’ll can have bread an water 
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
ooooh yeah! tom yum is a great idea! it's light and tangy too.. i have the recipe from the time i took thai cooking lessons.. lemme know if u need it.
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
afrosheen how do u make desi style turkey? does it taste good?
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
AFRO- I always make american turkey. I dont think turkey is meant to be desified?
As for the Tom Yum soup - they alll HATE shrimp. Something about alim online saying they are makroo- go figure!
So far I was thinking of an indian soup rasam (mom would like some desi taste on the table) or the miso soup.
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
You can make the tom yum with veggies...chicken..anything
but it does have a nice little tangy kick and its usually spicy.
Hey hey turkey can be made desi....I have had a very delicious Tandoori Masala Turkey that was cooked well & very juicy...and this anti had a nice serving of creamed corn with it that tasted really good together. :)
and and spicy cranberry sauce...grr!
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
Afro sheeni baby post the recipe for the soup!
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
but tom yum soup would still have a fish and shrimp base, so if makrooh is an issue u will have to change recipe and take out shrimp paste, even if the meat u areusing is chicken.
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
i dont think the taste of shrimp will sit well with the hashbrown thingies am thinking of --- hmmm
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
the tom yum recipe i have does not use shrimp paste, fish sauce does the trick. i'm allergic to shrimp, so i wouldn't care to know what i'm missing :p as afrosheen said, u can put chicken in it instead of shrimp.
muniya, if u're gonna make rasam, it's easy peasy, just go with the MTR rasam packet, it's really good and has everything in it. it's hecka spicy though, so be careful. the packet says 1 cup of masala for 8 cups of water, just boil the stuff. what i do is, 3/4th cup masala with 7 cups of water and 1 cup of campbell tomato juice. i think it's best when it's mild/medium spicy.

Im having the south Indian make it from scratch
teehhhehehheheh
But thats good to know for normal days. =)
Re: Recipe Needed: Clear Broth Soup
ah, nothing can beat that.. but much as i'm an advocate for "from scratch cooking", i have to say the MTR rasam mix is great... i don't like their other mixes much, but the rasam will rock ur palette!
