Party soup for 10-15 people
Here is the recipe for my favourite party soup. It's easy to make, although I don't know if all of the ingredients are available internationally. However, it's very easy and quick to make and has always been a huge success at parties.
Ingredients:
1 kg of Thuringian meat (spiced ground meat)
4 stalks of leek
200 g "Milkana Cream" processed cheese
200 g "Milkana Herbs" processed cheese
1 kg of canned mixed mushrooms
One and a half liters of broth from stock cubes
Mildly sweet Paprika powder
Butter
Heat resistant vegetable oil
First fry the meat at full power with a bit of heat resistant vegetable oil (I use rape oil, because it has a neutral taste) and add a good amount of paprika powder:
Put the meat aside for later, when it looks like this:
Wash and chop the leek:
Flush the mushrooms with hot, clear water and let them drip off in a colander:
Melt about 20 g of butter in a 5 liter pot, add the leek and let it poach a bit at medium heat:
Add one and a half liters of water + enough stock cubes for that, put in the mushrooms and the meat, stir it nicely, turn the heat up till it cooks, then let it simmer with closed lid for about 15 minutes at medium heat:
Finally add the Milkana cheese and let it slowly melt into the soup. Then let the soup simmer with closed lid for another 10 minutes:
The final result:
Add nothing and leave nothing away. Wait until you tasted the final result, then decide if you want to risk adding some chili or other spices -- most people are perfectly happy with the basic recipe, though.
Serve it with fresh baguette.
Bon appetit!
