Old Plantation Soups And Dips Recipes

POTATO SOUP WITH OLD-FASHIONED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• In a 4-quart Dutch oven, gradually stir broth into white sauce mix until smooth.
• Stir in potato, onion, ham, evaporated milk, and pepper.
• Bring to boiling, decrease heat.
• Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally; taste and adjust seasoning.
• Dumplings-in a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
• In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with a fork; stir in the milk and vegetable oil.
• Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir with a fork until flour mixture is moistened.
• Using rounded teaspoonfuls, drop dumping dough onto hot soup.
• Return to boiling, decrease heat.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean.
• If desired, sprinkle with fresh snipped parsley.

DOENJANG JJIGAE

Steps:

• To a medium pot, add the doenjang, garlic, onion, zucchini, radish, mushrooms, dasima, anchovies, soy sauce and 3 cups cold tap water, and season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to gently boil, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables start to soften and the broth tastes intensely savory and as salty as the sea, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more doenjang or salt as desired; the stew should be assertively seasoned.
• Stir in the steak and continue gently boiling the jjigae, stirring once or twice, until the meat is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve with bowls of fresh white rice.
