Plomeek soup Venture

Spock eating plomeek soup.

Plomeek soup is a food made by the Vulcan civilization, a type of soup made from plomeek. Different preparations of this dish also include plomeek broth.

Specifics[]

Plomeek soup was a vegetarian dish made with numerous blended Vulcan vegetables. During traditional festive occasions, it was adorned with a dollop of sour cream fashioned in the shape of a spiral galaxy, with finely chopped leaves like parsley sprinkled along the dollop's edge. As a daily dish, the soup was served ungarnished or topped with a spoonful of butter. (TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)

Various regional recipes were developed on Vulcan. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Way of Kolinahr: The Vulcans)

Plomeek soup a la Pierre was served in Paris at the Maison Colline. (Last Unicorn RPG - SA module: Starfleet Academy Handbook)

One preparation approximated with Earth ingredients was made with diced tomatoes, strawberries, an apple, balsamic vinegar, and Greek yogurt or cream. Garnished with a strawberry, apple, or cubed tomato, it paired well with a green salad or creamy cheeses. (ST reference: The Star Trek Cookbook)

Aboard USS Voyager, Neelix experimented with available Delta Quadrant ingredients to prepare an acceptable version for Tuvok. (Fact Files Issue 146: "File 96, Card 9: A-Z Access Point: Plomeek soup", VOY episode: "Faces") Neelix's first attempt, using Bothan fire beans, proved too spicy. He eventually developed a satisfactory adaptation named '"plomeek soup a la Neelix". Comparable Earth ingredients for his recipe included white beans, water, onion, bay leaf, kabocha squash, green beans, zucchini, spinach, garlic, curry, and nutmeg. He also came up with a sweeter-tasting variant made with ingredients comparable to whole pumpkin, zucchini, and sweet potato. (ST reference: Star Trek Cookbook)

History[]

In the 2260s decade, Commander Spock and Nurse Christine Chapel crafted a recipe using ingredients commonly available aboard the USS Enterprise, so that it was available via the ship's food synthesizers. Their version combined butter, onions, carrots, turnips, potatoes, tomato paste, water, garlic, salt, spices, and parsley. (TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)
