Hi there..
Today i will be going through a step by step process of how to make a quality dish of Soup and Chips.
Soup and Chips often raises an eyebrow or two, often the question of "Do the chips just go soggy?" is raised. I tend to reply no, but i can understand the confusion brought about by this classic Yorkshire dish.
Ingredients -
A classic soup.
Chunky Oven Chips.
Pepper.
Step 1 - Place your chips in the oven for around 20-25 mins on a heat of around 200 C or Gas mark 6.
wait around 15-20 minutes before preparing soup.
Step 2 - Get a quality tin of soup. I tend to find that Heinz soups are the best, but the choice is up to you. Another point to make is that a smooth creamy soup such as Chicken or even Tomato is probably a better choice as to not clash with the chunky chips however once again the choice is entirely up to you. Place the soup into a pan and cook on Hob until piping hot. Please note :
Do not microwave the soup. Microwaving soups tends to impair the flavour and leaves a horrible sticky residue around the bowl.....Nice
Step 3 - Place the Chips into a bowl.
Step 4 - Pour the soup over the chips.
Step 5 - Add Pepper. I tend to find black pepper is better than white pepper.
Step 6 - Enjoy!
The choice of soup, chips, pepper etc is entirely your choice. I find that chunky chips tend to take a lot longer to go soggy than fries or thin cut chips. This also allows for enjoyment of the meal. Nobody wants to guzzle up a bowl of piping hot soup just to avoid soggy chips, you need to savour the flavour of this dish. I firmly believe once you have tried it, you will be back for more.
