These are the ingredients for our midnight soup with minced meat
Our classic midnight soup consists of nothing but aromatic and hearty ingredients. You probably already have some of them in your pantry.
- Strained tomatoes: The finely pureed tomatoes without seeds or peels are the perfect basis for our midnight soup. If you don’t have pureed tomatoes at home, but do have canned tomatoes, you can simply puree them briefly with a hand blender.
- Meat stock: Fond (French for the basis) is a liquid that is obtained when frying, boiling or steaming meat and bones. Compared to broth or bouillon, the stock is a little thicker. If you replace the stock with broth, you should keep in mind when seasoning that broth is usually significantly more seasoned than stock.
- Onions: We use classic onions because they are particularly aromatic. Of course, you can also use milder varieties such as vegetable onions or red onions.
- Minced meat: We chose minced beef because we like the taste of it best. You can also replace this with minced meat of your choice.
- Chorizo: is a spicy raw pork sausage seasoned with paprika and garlic. You can also replace the Spanish sausage with Turkish sucuk.
- Corn: For the midnight soup recipe we use canned corn. This is usually already salted, so we wash it before cooking. Would you like to use fresh corn? On the blog you will find everything you need to know about cooking corn.
- White beans: We decided on canned beans. If you want to use dried beans, you should soak them for at least 12 hours beforehand.
- Paprika: We chose red and yellow peppers. The colors of the peppers indicate the level of ripeness; green peppers are unripe and taste a little bitter. The ripe yellow and red fruits are significantly sweeter and somewhat more aromatic.
- Spices: Of course, the spices are crucial for the taste. We chose a combination of salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and oregano and some fresh chili. There are no limits to your imagination, feel free to use your favorite spices. Of course, you can also use a ready-made spice mix like our Bruschetta spice mix, which gives the classic midnight soup a Mediterranean taste.
5 tips for the best midnight soup
With these five tips, your midnight soup with minced meat is guaranteed to be the highlight of the evening.
- Preparation is everything: The soup can be prepared hours or the day in advance and tastes even better after it has been steeped. This will save you a lot of stress when your guests are there. And in the evening you can simply warm up your midnight soup as a party soup shortly beforehand and keep it warm on the stove over a low heat.
- Simmer slowly: The longer the soup simmers, the more intense its hearty taste can develop. It’s best to let it simmer on a low heat for several hours.
- Serve: If you simply serve the soup in large bowls or cups, your guests can enjoy it in a relaxed manner – even without a seat at the table.
- Filling side dish: This midnight soup calls for a delicious bread for dipping. How about a fresh baguette or home-baked farmhouse bread? This makes the soup even more filling.
- Versatile toppings: You can provide a selection of toppings such as sour cream, fresh herbs, grated cheese or crispy croutons. This means everyone can refine their soup individually.
