I made this soup yesterday and thought it was ok. I froze the leftovers and took a portion to work. The defrosted soup was much better than the fresh! Don't like using so much soup mix, though.Replies:
Isn't it funny how certain things taste better after they "settle?" I find that a lot with roast. Just always tastes better as leftovers for some reason. Thanks for the feedback. -
technical question
what do you mean to put garlic in spice bag? what is a spice bag and what do you mean dispose afterwards? can i just use garlic powder or the frozen cubes?Replies:
I think that the suggestion is if a bulb or garlic is too strong for your taste, putting it in a bouquet garni bag is an option. This bag is a small mesh bag that cooks place ingredients whose flavor they want to impart into something, usually a soup or a stew, but the actual item pieces they want to leave out. Garlic powder or cubes should work, it really depends on your level of garlic tolerance.
A spice bag means in a cheese cloth pouch, referred to as a Sachet in french (which is the traditional), it is similar to a bouquet garni ( herbs and spices in a cheesecloth pouch). As for the garlic, it is probably preferable to use fresh (or frozen cubes) simply because fresh vs dried always gives a different flavour, in the sense that dried herbs are more intense, therefor you need less. I would try it both ways and see if your family can taste a difference.
