This is a recipe taken from a Delia Smith cookbook Once cooked, it will keep warm without coming to any harm, and it will also re-heat very successfully. And, yes, it does freeze well so, all in all, it’s a real winner of a recipe. It’s great because it can be made the day before and gently re-heated with no last-minute bother. It is a perfect accompaniment to venison, goose or pork (and if you have any left over it does wonders for bangers and mash).
The original idea for this recipe came from the Bisquick website. I have made significant changes to it to adapt it to my healthy lifestyle. This recipe freezes extremely well, hence the large quantity. It’s great to make on a Sunday morning, and pull out of the freezer for a quick breakfast treat during the week.
A wonderful and very elegant dinner party dish, and one that will impress your family and friends! These little parcels can be made ahead of time and frozen uncooked. In France you can buy these ready made in most supermarkets and butchers – but these are so easy to make, that I often make my own. You can also use turkey or veal escalopes – the sauce remains the same. Serve these little parcels with seasonal vegetables, gratin potatoes or rice and pasta.
I love this recipe, friends crave it, some have me over once a month just to cook this ( 😛 ) and my husband who doesn’t eat soup and wouldn’t even try lentils ate it up in seconds! I do love this, as its great tasting and well worth the effort! This is seriously something you must try! Its something I have perfected over the years, so my measurement are guesstimates but they are pretty spot on! This is one of those recipes that takes an afternoon to cook and tastes even better the next day, but this makes a lot of soup and it freezes so well its worth it! This is a thick soup so could be served as a meal!If you absolutely need to add meat, I cook a generous amount of thinly sliced prosciutto and serve on top of soup under the shredded Parmesan.
From Neva & Jim Brackett’s 7 Secrets Cookbook. Makes a very healthy meal that’s delicious! Spinach and tomatoes are added after the cooking is completed to keep their distinct green and red color, and give the soup eye appeal. I usually freeze half of this recipe to feed my family of four again later.
