Mealie Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat.
• Add the onions and sauté for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and cook for about 5 more minutes.
• Add the corn, creamed corn milk, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a pot over moderate heat and saute the onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
• Do not add water.
• Dip a cheesecloth in boiling water, and rub it well with flour.
• Put the mixture into the cloth and tie securely.
• Drop into boiling water but do not allow the water to come more than 2/3s up the pudding.
• Boil for 3 hours, replenishing water as it boils away.
• When cold, slice and fry with bacon or as an accompaniment to sausages, liver etc.

Steps:

• Bring the water and salt to a boil in a heavy covered 3-quart saucepan.
• Dump the cornmeal into the water, and stir with a wooden spoon to moisten completely. Reduce heat to low, and stir again.
• Cover, and continue cooking about 10 minutes. The mixture should be fairly stiff. Remove from the heat, stir again and set aside, covered, 30 to 40 minutes, until the mixture is just warm.
• Spoon out in a mound on a serving dish and serve in place of bread with soups and stews. Mealie meal is eaten by pulling hunks of it off the mound and squeezing it lightly between the fingertips to compress it.
