My Potato, Roasted Garlic, and Carrot Soup

[Quail_Antwerp]

OK, I'm going to try this....maybe today? I've a huge stock pot, and it sounds like an easy dish to keep simmering on the stove to have for lunch and dinner

To feed my family, it has to be a HUGE stock pot of soup!

It makes a large pot of soup, QA... But you could double the recipe.

Doubling it won't feed 900 like that cookie recipe you gave me will it?

I'd have to find that thread....I don't think I wrote the recipe down....Ann gave us the "cut down" version that only makes a few dozen after keljonma's feed 900 recipe.

No, QA, the soup won't feed 900 if you double it.


It was Russian Teacake Cookie recipe, xpc. Here it is..

Russian Teacake Cookies
750-900 cookies depending on sized rolled into...

14 1/4 cups butter, softened
7 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
28 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
28 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp plus 1 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
Mix all the ingredients together with a mixer until well blended. Roll dough into round small balls.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Cool completely then roll in additional confectionary sugar.

Things I love BEST about this recipe... you can place the balls close together on the cookie sheet since they don't spread out. They freeze really well in single layers. I know this looks like a HUGE recipe, but it mixes up pretty fast.

And here is the thread with the scaled down recipe...

If I leave out the walnuts would this make simple sugar cookies? 28 cups of nuts would be my mortgage payment.

 

[keljonma]

Yes, xpc, you can make these cookies without nuts. I do that all the time for my friends that cannot eat nuts due to allergies.

That's about $20 in parts to make 900 cookies! - I will let you know next month when i go to the store for doughnuts and other ancillary items.

The soup looks yummy to me. Lots of my favorite ingredients.

Hey, this is really serendipitous, but I happened to find a "better way" to roast garlic yesterday. Apparently if you separate the cloves out, and then trim off the bottom hard part, then coat them all in oil (in a bowl) and roast them (won't take as long as the entire head does) you will get a better yield. I am going to try this technique anyway, next time I roast garlic. ETA: You briefly mentioned this as an alternative method in your recipe, but I didn't notice it on first glance.

It is only 9:30 in the morning here and you have now gotten my stomach growling at me!
