Auntie's Soup
A simple, comforting home-style soup of toasted semolina, potatoes and cheese, cooked in a big tall pot.
Ingredients
| 30-40 г/g | butter |
| 3 с.л./tbsp | semolina |
| 3 литра/litres | water |
| 3 | potatoes |
| 250 г/g | white cheese |
| на вкус/to taste | salt |
| на вкус/to taste | black pepper |
Instructions
- In a quarter of a small pack of melted butter, gently toast 2-3 tablespoons of semolina over low heat until it changes colour — use 2 if your spoons are big, 3 if they are smaller.
- Pour in about 3 litres of water (by eye; do not cover the pot, as the water boils up quickly) and peel and cube 2-3 potatoes (2 if large, up to 4 if very small). Once the water boils, add the cubed potatoes.
- When the potatoes are cooked, add half a block of white cheese, also cubed, boil for another 5-6 minutes and it's done. Add only a little salt, since the cheese is salty.
- Most important — cook it in a big, tall pot, because the semolina boils up very fast and can spill over.
