The Apron runs In the family…
A little less known fact, Freemasonry is not only about big speeches, tuxedos and funny looking hats. It is about sharing a bond with people that you call Brothers, sit down at a table, have a couple of beers (or wine) and if you are really really lucky to share a great meal made by a loving hand. We are really grateful to Lady Christine who has decided to share her recipe at the GM´s house.
Party Soup
(Recipe for approx. 6 people):
- 1 kg ground meat
- 2 liters of tomato juice or tomato vegetable juice
- 1 big onion
- 6 tbsp. oil
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- Sugar to taste (1-2 tsp.)
- 1 tsp. sambal oelek (or another spicy sauce)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 100 ml liquid sweet cream (or more if you like)
- Optional you can add e.g. corn, kidney beans or noodles
Preparation:
Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the very finely chopped onion. Add the ground meat and fry lightly over low heat so that it is crumbly but not over-fried.
Add tomato juice, let it simmer for about 15 min. Then press garlic into soup and stir in the spices. Let simmer again for a bit. Finally stir in the cream – and the soup is ready to be served – e.g. with fresh baguette.
The soup is uncomplicated and fast to cook – and can be very well prepared the day before the party. Perfect also as a midnight soup to keep your guests strong.
Bon appetit!
Lady Christina
