man i gotta up my recipe game. i usually just freestyle but Im missing out some good stuff.
That cod chowder is surprisingly easy. We had almost everything in the house aside for the cod and leeks. Bought a family pack of frozen cod. Hardest part of cooking it was chopping the veggies. I did the chopping. GF did the cooking and 30 min later we were eating.
On Sunday night I made my grandmother's jewish sweet and sour tomato soup recipe. Made a big pot that we can eat for the next week or so..
-3lbs of Beef Marrow Bones
-2-3 Chopped Onions (Yellow or Brown)
-2 Large Cans of Whole San Marzano Tomatoes with Basil
-Kosher Salt
-Sour Salt
-Sugar
-Cup of White Rice
Salt the bones generously.
Put in stock pot and fill 3/4 way with water and bring to a boil.
Once water boils lower heat to low and keep at a simmer.
Skim the bone scum that rises to the surface and discard.
Add chopped onions
Open cans of tomatoes and pour liquid into the pot.
In a mixing bowl crush the tomatoes by hand and add to the pot.
Let it simmer for about 2hrs or so. The longer the better.
Add 1tbspn of sugar & 1/2 teaspoon of sour salt.
Increase heat to bring to a boil and add raw rice directly to pot and let the rice cook for about 30min. The starch will thicken the soup and don't be afraid to "overcook" the rice till it blooms. You don't want it al dente.
Add additional salt to taste.
This soup gets better when it sits for a day or two as the flavors meld.
