A Grand Soup [Comfortember 2023]

Characters: Micah Yujin x “Angel” Visual Novel/Game: Error 143 Genre: Comfort (more fluff, I’m feeling) Summary: Because Micah shall not settle for any old simple soup. Word Count: 822

Prompt: 27. Soup

Micah’s happy voice sounds through the front of the house. “Angel~ I'm home!”

“In the kitchen!” she calls back.

Micah practically trots into the kitchen with his nose in the air, dropping the shopping bags onto the island countertop. “Oh, you brought out the big pot!”

She giggles, turning from her stirring. “What did you bring home?”

She can almost see imaginary ears popping up from his hair as he lights up.

“Angel, I went down that market street you told me about? There was produce EVERYWHERE!” He starts pulling out ingredients from the various cloth and straw bags. “I got carrots… sweet potatoes… bok choy - I hope I said that right - tomatoes, corn, red and white onions…”

Micah separates a smaller amount and pushes the pile across the counter to where Angel is waiting with her sharpened knife. She transfers all she can carry to the sink to wash and peel as necessary.

“Don't think I'm done!” He says excitedly, although there's no way she possibly could've when he came in with four large bags stuffed to capacity. She listens as he continues unloading his haul like a proud gatherer.

“I didn't even know cauliflower came in yellow! I got the regular white, too. I got all four colours of sweet peppers, white and purple cabbage - why do they call it red? Red onions aren't even red, either!”

Angel chuckles at his tone, bringing over bowls to separate the prepped ingredients. Her husband’s insistence at an excessively wide countertop was currently much appreciated. They could host a full family reunion to this thing.

“I got a bunch of beans and stuff, too! I found those ‘lentils’ you kept asking about, and Lima beans, and black beans, red beans, split peas…”

“Micah Yujin, who are we feeding with all this?” She asks with a laugh. The carrots had been diced and she was on to the broccoli he had purposely not announced. Her eyes roamed over the various mushrooms and pumpkin, lighting up at the butternut squash.

“Me and you, my love,” he answers in a posh tone. “You told me to bring home veggies for soup. This will ensure we execute only the grandest soup possible.”

“It'll be healthy, that's for sure,” she murmurs as Micah pushes the bags to the opposite end of the counter.

He goes over to the sink, washing his hands before returning with his apron hanging from his neck and a knife and cutting board in his arms. “You didn't think I was leaving you to prep all this alone, did you?” He gasps dramatically. “I'm hurt, my angel, that you think so little of me after living as my sweet wife all this time.”

“We've been married for three months, Yujin.”

“And clearly I haven't demonstrated myself enough in those 90 days, Mrs. Yujin.” He makes quick work of the onions, using the excuse to have tears accompany his exaggerated sniffling.

Cassie shakes her head as she sets aside a bowl of greens, clearing her cutting board for the cabbage. “My apologies, my sweet.”

“No!” Micah huffs with a pout, leaving the tears as he moves on to the bell peppers. “This is my failure as a husband. I am more than just a provider, a bringer of raw materials for sustenance. I must prove myself!”

Cassie raises an eyebrow as he pushes away the peppers, dutifully wiping his knife before smacking down a sweet potato. God bless him because as much as she loved the things, cutting them was a workout. She would gladly watch him strongarm that vegetable into submission for their pot.

Micah turned everything into a performance or a good time. Even with his antics he was an efficient kitchen assistant, and pretty soon everything they wanted was in the pot and bubbling away.

He sniffs the air, a confused look on his face. “Angel, is the oven on?” He bent to look but couldn't tell.

“Should be,” she responds as she rinses the dishes. “I've got bread rising in there.”

She squeaks into a laugh as she's suddenly hugged from behind, dropping a - thankfully plastic - bowl. She squirms as Micah peppers her cheek with kisses. “It's just bread, babe, relax!”

“My Angel made bread from scratch with this timing and I must relax?” He asks incredulously. “I shall not!”

“I'm assuming that informing you that my first attempt at a garlic confit is also in there will earn me more physical affect- Wah!” She squawks as she's raised clean off her feet and walked out of the kitchen.

“Mm-mm, mm-mm” Her husband repeats in her ear. “You're not allowed to do this to me. You're showing me up.”

“Micah-”

“ I'm the giver in this relationship, missy. Stop stealing my love language!” They topple onto the large sofa where he smothers her and her protesting laughter in kisses.

It's a good thing they have a rather loud and intrusive kitchen timer.

[ID: First image is a large, shallow dish filled with a bright yellowish orange soup filled with red cabbage and green onion and drizzled with coconut milk. A halved samosa sits in the soup and a plate of samosa is visible in the background. The second image is a close-up on the samosa resting in the soup, showing its deep brown filling. End ID.]

Samusa thouk (Burmese soup with split chickpeas, tamarind, and samosa)

Samusa thouk is a bright, savory, slightly spicy soup often eaten with leftover samusa. The samusa are broken and placed in a bowl, and the soup is then spooned over them.

My recipe makes Burnese samusa that are flavored with turmeric and black mustard seed and made richly sweet with the addition of jaggery—they play beautifully against the tartness of the tamarind in the soup. You may also use Indian samosa from frozen or from take-out.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Ingredients:

8 Burmese samusa

1 Indian bay leaf (tej patta)*

2-3 dried Indian red chilis, broken in half

2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)

1 tsp brown mustard seeds (rai)

1/3 cup neutral oil

1 red onion, diced

8 cloves garlic, minced (3 Tbsp)

1-inch chunk ginger, minced

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp sweet paprika (optional)

1 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and ground

1/2 tsp black peppercorns, toasted and ground

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup besan (chickpea flour)

1/2 cup water

8 cups (2 liters) vegetable stock

1 Tbsp tamarind paste

1/2 cup chana dal (split chickpeas), soaked in cool water for an hour**

1/4 to 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)

Salt to taste (about 1 1/2 tsp)

Shredded red cabbage, mint, green onion, cilantro, and lemon or lime to serve

*Indian bay leaves are distinct from Turkish or California laurel bay leaves and have a different taste and fragrance. They will be labelled "tej patta" in an Asian or halaal grocery store, and have three vertical lines running along them from root to tip, rather than radiating out diagonally from a central vein. Omit if you don’t have any.

**You may substitute toor dal (split pigeon peas) for chana dal, or use moong dal (yellow lentils) in a pinch. These grams would not need to be soaked. If you have not soaked the chana dal, the cooking time will increase by about 20 minutes.

Instructions:

1. Heat 1/3 cup of a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola, in a large pot on medium.

2. Add bay leaf and dried chilis and fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add cumin and mustard seeds and fry until they are fragrant and popping into the air.

3. Add onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown (15-20 minutes).

4. Meanwhile, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add chickpea flour and toast, stirring often, for a few minutes until fragrant and several shades darker. In a mixing bowl, whisk chickpea flour with 1/2 cup water until smooth.

5. Add ginger and garlic to the pot with the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, about 30 seconds until no longer raw-smelling. Add ground spices (turmeric, paprika, coriander, and black pepper) and fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Add lentils to the pot and toast for 2 minutes.

7. Add tamarind paste, vegetable stock, and chickpea flour mixture and stir to combine. Raise heat to bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer.

8. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until the dal is tender and cooked through. Add coconut milk, if desired, and salt. Taste and adjust spices.

9. Serve warm over broken samusa. Top with shredded red cabbage and fresh herbs.

SERVES 🍴⃒ PREP. TIME 🕔⃒

6 persons 10 min. + 30 min. wait

COOK. TIME ♨ DIFFIC. LEVEL 👩‍🍳⃒

30 min. Very Easy

Fava is one of those amazing lentils that's boiled very quickly and has a smooth, mushy texture.

If you have tried and liked my original recipe for Fava, then you will love this one. I simply add boiled beets, that heighten Fava's already delicately sweet taste and give it a beautiful and exceptional ruby color.

A great appetizer, easy, healthy, nutritious, delicious. A recipe tried in the island of Rhodes. What else could you ask for?

Suitable for vegans and fasting.

Check also my recipe for Greek Garlic Sauce Aka Skordalia With Bread And Beets HERE

INGREDIENTS:

• 250 gr. / 9 oz Fava beans (Yellow Split peas)

• 4 cups / 1 lt. Water (to boil fava)

• 1 small Onion, coarsely chopped

• 3-4 tbsp. / 45-60 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 120 gr. / 4.2 oz Beets, boiled (1 large or 2 medium)

• 1/3 cup / 40 gr. / 1.4 oz Walnuts, very finely chopped

• Ground Salt and Pepper

• To garnish: 1/4 bunch Parsley, finely chopped and extra Ground Pepper

• 1 Lime in wedges

METHOD:

A. Boil the Fava:

1. Let Fava beans soak in a bowl with plenty of water for 30', before boiling.

2. After 30' drain them.

3. Pour 1 lt. clean water in a pot over medium heat. Place the soaked fava in the pot.

4. Drizzle a bit Olive Oil on top to prevent Fava from sticking to the bottom. Blend it in.

5. When the water starts boiling, turn down the heat and let Fava simmer for about 25'-30'. Time of boiling depends on how fresh Fava is.

6. Add the small onion in the boiled fava, together with some freshly ground salt.

7. In the meantime, cut boiled beets in slices. Reserve.

8. After about 30', check if fava is ready. Beans should be very soft, they should have thickened & 3/4 of the water should have evaporated.

9. If not ready, add some more hot water and continue boiling for 5' extra.

10. Then turn off the heat!

11. Important: Don’t drain the rest of the water in the fava!!

B. Finish the Fava dish:

12. While still hot, use a hand blender or food processor and make Fava a smooth thick paste, with a puree like consistency.

13. Add the slices of boiled beet, reserving a couple to garnish Fava.

14. Next add the finely chopped walnuts, season with ground Salt and Pepper, to taste and pour the rest of Olive oil in the fava.

15. Continue beating with the hand blender until all ingredients are homogenized.

16. Stir with a soup spoon to check for any lumps and to make it even smoother.

17. Tip: Fava might look like a runny mush but it will harden and turn more solid when it cools and sets.

C. Serving instructions/suggestions:

18. Serve immediately, by pouring warm Fava in a wide Salad bowl or a deep platter and level it.

19. Fava with beets can be served warm or at room temp. as an appetizer or main course.

20. Garnish it by sprinkling on top the chopped parsley, some more ground pepper and the reserved slices of boiled beet.

21. Additionally, you could add lime wedges on the side and some baked octopus (in a packet) on top of the fava puree.

An easy, appetizing dish for the Summer or during Lent. A surprising ruby Ouzo treat to be enjoyed with some homemade cheese breadsticks (kritsinia)!

D. Storage Info:

Fava can be stored, after it cools down, in an airtight container in the fridge, for up to one week.

Κατάλληλο για Βίγκαν και νηστεία.

ΥΛΙΚΑ:

• 250 γρ. / 9 oz Φάβα

• 4 φλ. / 1 lt. Νερό (για να βράσει η φάβα)

• 1 μικρό, ξερό Κρεμμύδι, χοντροκομμένο

• 3-4 κ.σ. / 45-60 ml Εξαιρετικό Παρθένο Ελαιόλαδο

• 120 γρ. / 4,2 oz Παντζάρια, βραστά (1 μεγάλο ή 2 μέτρια)

• 1/3 φλ. / 40 γρ. / 1,4 oz Καρύδια, πολύ καλά ψιλοκομμένα

• Φρεσκοαλεσμένο αλάτι και πιπέρι

• Για το γαρνίρισμα: 1/4 ματσάκι Μαϊντανός, ψιλοκομμένος και επιπλέον τριμμένο πιπέρι

• 1 Λάιμ στα τέσσερα

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ:

Α. Βράστε τη φάβα:

1. Αφήστε τη φάβα να μουλιάσει σε ένα μπολ με άφθονο νερό για 30', πριν τη βράσετε.

2. Μετά από 30' στραγγίστε τη.

3. Ρίξτε 1 λτ. καθαρό νερό σε μια κατσαρόλα πάνω από μέτρια φωτιά. Τοποθετήστε τη μουλιασμένη φάβα μέσα στην κατσαρόλα.

4. Ρίξτε λίγο ελαιόλαδο από πάνω για να μην κολλήσει η φάβα στον πάτο. Ανακατέψτε.

5. Μόλις αρχίσει να βράζει το νερό, χαμηλώστε τη φωτιά και αφήστε τη φάβα να σιγοβράσει για 25'-30' περίπου. Ο χρόνος βρασμού εξαρτάται από το πόσο φρέσκια είναι η φάβα.

6. Προσθέστε το κρεμμύδι στη βρασμένη φάβα, μαζί με λίγο φρεσκοτριμμένο αλάτι.

7. Στο μεταξύ κόψτε σε ροδέλες τα βραστά παντζάρια. Βάλτε στην άκρη.

8. Μετά από περίπου 30' τσεκάρετε αν είναι έτοιμη η φάβα. Πρέπει να είναι πολύ μαλακιά, να έχει πήξει και τα 3/4 του νερού να έχουν εξατμιστεί.

9. Αν δεν είναι έτοιμη προσθέστε λίγο επιπλέον ζεστό νερό και συνεχίστε το βράσιμο για 5' ακόμα.

10. Στη συνέχεια σβήστε τη φωτιά!

11. Σημαντικό: Μην στραγγίσετε το υπόλοιπο νερό από τη φάβα!!

Β. Τελειώστε τη φάβα:

12. Όσο είναι ακόμα ζεστή, χρησιμοποιήστε ένα ραβδομπλέντερ ή επεξεργαστή τροφίμων και χτυπήστε τη φάβα να γίνει μια λεία παχύρρευστη μάζα, με υφή πουρέ.

13. Προσθέστε τις φέτες παντζαριού, κρατώντας δύο για να γαρνίρετε τη φάβα.

14. Στη συνέχεια προσθέστε τα ψιλοκομμένα καρύδια, αλατοπιπερώστε και ρίξτε και το υπόλοιπο ελαιόλαδο στη φάβα.

15. Συνεχίστε το χτύπημα με το ραβδομπλέντερ μέχρι να ομογενοποιηθούν όλα τα υλικά.

16. Ανακατέψτε με ένα κουτάλι σούπας για να ελέγξετε αν υπάρχουν τυχόν σβώλους και για να γίνει ακόμα πιο λεία.

17. Συμβουλή: Η φάβα μπορεί να μοιάζει κάπως ρευστός χυλός, αλλά θα γίνει πιο συμπαγής μόλις κρυώσει και δέσει.

Γ. Οδηγίες/προτάσεις σερβιρίσματος:

18. Σερβίρετε αμέσως, ρίχνοντας τη ζεστή φάβα σε μια φαρδιά σαλατιέρα ή βαθιά πιατέλα και ισιώστε τη.

19. Η φάβα με παντζάρια μπορεί να σερβιριστεί ζεστή ή σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου, ως ορεκτικό ή κυρίως πιάτο.

20. Γαρνίρετε τη πασπαλίζοντας από πάνω τον ψιλοκομμένο μαϊντανό, λίγο ακόμα αλεσμένο πιπέρι και τις κρατημένες φέτες από παντζάρι.

21. Επιπλέον, μπορείτε να προσθέσετε φέτες λάιμ στο πλάι και λίγο Χταπόδι (Πακέτο Στο Φούρνο) Ξιδάτο πάνω από τον πουρέ της φάβας.

Ένα εύκολο, ορεκτικό πιάτο για το καλοκαίρι ή τη Σαρακοστή. Μια εξαιρετική ρουμπινί απόλαυση με ούζο και σπιτικά κριτσίνια!

Δ. Πληροφορίες φύλαξης:

Η φάβα μπορεί να διατηρηθεί, αφού κρυώσει, σε αεροστεγές δοχείο στο ψυγείο, έως και μία εβδομάδα.
