Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. PREPARATION: Peel and coarsely shred the carrots. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch dice. Grate the cheese (1 cup).
  2. COOKING: Heat the oil in a 6-quart soup kettle. Add the potatoes and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add carrots and tomato paste and cook until carrots soften, about 3 minutes. Cut celery stalks in half and add to the kettle along with the broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, skimmimg occasionally. Add rice and simmer until tender, 18 to 20 minutes longer. Discard celery and bay leaves. Season with salt, if necessary.
  3. SERVING: Ladle soup into warm bowls. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and cheese.
  4. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
