Clay Pot Soup Recipe
Have you ever tried Clay Pot soups? If you have not, this is your chance to use this clay pot soup recipe and make yourself one using this clay pot soup recipe. For me cooking this soup in a pot associates with my childhood. My mother used to make the best clay pot soups ever. Uzbeks call this soup Ko’za Sho’rva. While soups can and are made using different mediums like cast iron, enamel pots and other metals, clay pots offer a different type of comfort, beauty, taste and authenticity. There are great health benefits in cooking in these pots, too. Let’s see what benefits come with cooking in a clay pot.
Beef and Rice Soup Recipe
This is a very traditional Uzbek soup which is warming and refreshing at the same time. Whenever I am tired from eating too much of the solid foods, I whip this beef and rice soup (also called “Mastava” in Uzbek) very easily. It doesn’t require much time and is a very good choice when you are under the weather. It is indeed a great comfort food! Mastava goes very easy on your stomach and tastes great with the addition of yogurt and fresh or dry herbs. My children eat it with delight.
Red Borscht Recipe
There are many famous dishes in the world, claimed by several nations to be historically theirs. Some nations go further by telling that this or that dish symbolizes their national identity. Down the road we will be dealing with many such recipes. In this blog I am not intended to fuel this sort of disputes, rather I view all recipes as world heritage and of course I will try to trace the historical origin to give rightful credit to claiming sides. Today I present to your judgment one version of borscht, cabbage soup, which is claimed by Russians and Ukrainians. Both of them are Slavic nations and that is the uniting part. Red Borscht became very popular in former soviet states. There are little deviations in Red Borscht recipe and the funny part is that most of them are claimed to be either original or classic. Personally I do not believe in originality, you modify or improvise as you wish as long as you keep the essential ingredients and cooking pattern or you risk to invent completely different dish. We are going to publish different versions of borscht, you choose which one is closer to your taste. I started with the one we like the most.
Shurpa – Lamb and Vegetable Soup Recipe
Lamb and Vegetable Soup, also known as Shurpa (Sho’rpo) is a well-known Central Asian soup. I’ve prepared it to many of our American friends and every time I get very good compliments on how heart warming, rich and tasty this soup is. There are different types of Shurpa and you can use different vegetables. Another type involves pre-frying the ingredients (qovurma sho’rpo), which I am not very much fond of. I love the one which is slow cooked (simmered). Thus, I decided to share this recipe with you. I should note that everyone makes shurpa differently. If you stumble upon a different type of shurpa, do not be surprised. I chose the one with relatively basic ingredients. Most often there are chickpeas (garbanzo beans) added to give it an authentic taste. But my husband is not a big fan of garbanzo beans in this soup, so I don’t add them. If you want to try, be my guest :)
