Vulcan Plomeek Soup

[Mike 5]

YES..! B)

 

Yeoman Rand just brought me a bowl for lunch..It is delicious..Perhaps I'm biased because of who brought it to me..!

 

What do you all think?

[Jack_Bauer 1]

Never had it. I've always kind of wondered what it tastes like.

 

Does anyone know what the prop food is for Plomeek Soup? You know, the food that represents it.

I was sure that it was Pea Soup..Does anybody else know for sure...I'll have to watch my 'Amok Time' episode again..I thought for sure the Plomeek Soup that Spock threw was green and I was positive that it was Pea Soup..

I was just checking out that 'Amok Time' episode and Plomeek Soup does look orange in color! Something I've never noticed before. I am positive it's Pea Soup! Perhaps they used food coloring?

Or Vulcan peas are orange! I'm very picky about my Plomeek (pea) Soup, it has to be perfect or I wont eat it.

No I don't like it! I has no flavor! Maybe if I add some Drakian syrup, some deviled wood throk, some Leola Root, and some Latara Broth. Oh wait, I have to add some Nimian sea salt as well! Hmm, that suits my talaxian taste buds now! Nurse Chapel... bring on the soup!

Instructions

 

"Plommek soup is tradtionally served with a spoonful of sour cream on

top; this is carefully swirled out with a spoon to amke a spiral

shape, representative of the galaxy. The outline of the galaxy is

then emphasized with very finely chopped parsley. for less festive

occaisions, it may be served with a small spoonful of butter (or

maragarine) in the centre. In the pot, melt the butter and when it is

foamy, add the onion and fry until golden. Add everything else to the

pot except the last cup of water and the sour cream and parsley

garnishes. simmer, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the

potatoes and carrots are tender. Run it all through the blender,

about 1 to 1 1/2 cups at a time. When it is all pureed, rinse the

cooking pot with the cup of water and add that to the 'empty'

blender. Run the blender for a few seconds and then slosh the water

about to get as much of the vegetable puree as possible off the sides

of the blender. Add this liquid to the soup. Pour the soup back into

the cleaned out pot and reheat it before serving (use very gentle

heat). Ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream and parsley as

described above.

Ah, so Plomeek Soup is Vegetable Soup eh. Ok I like it, especially the way my "Nurse Chapel" prepares it, she is a great cook.

I will have to watch Amok Time again.

Have you forgotten that Vulcans are vegetarians?

Hey, I already slapped my head about that. I'm not doing it again.

I have made the one recipe below, taken from an old Star Trek Cook Book I found in my local library. It is actually very good. But I do tend to cut down or cut out the turnips, since these can be bitter!

Now that's you've determined there are no peas in plomeek soup, I still want to add for the culinary inexperienced. Split peas come in at least two colors - the all familiar green and a sort of yellow gold color.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named 2]

Did we ever actually see a Vulcan making it? As far as I know the only footage of Vulcans actually preparing food is making tea.

Nah, we've never seen a Vulcan make it. The only time I recall it is in the TOS episode Amok Time. Nurse Chapel made it for Spock. Did we ever see Plomeek Soup in another series..Perhaps in Voyager ?? I haven't seen too many Voyager episodes yet..
