butternut squash - sweet potato %26amp; parsnip soup:





depends how much you want to make, but equal quantities of butternut squash and sweet potato and half of parsnip.


Cut into chunks and cover with water, add salt %26amp; pepper and curry powder (again amount depends on your taste) - bring to boil and then simmer for approx 1/2 hour.


Liquidise / blend to consistency you like - can be really thick or can add a little more water if you like it thinner.


when serving add a swirl of single cream and freshly grated black pepper.





This is a great soup - very tasty and filling.


Sorry the recipe is a bit vague - but I had it at a friends house and she told me the recipe and I just make it in different quantities that I need at the time - hence the ';vagueness'; of the ingredients!! But it is fail safe and always turns out good. Also freezes well.


Do take a chance and give it a go - you won't be disappointed and if you like it, like me you can vary the ingredient quantities the next time!Know any good root vegetable soup recipes?

I wouldn't put them together but here is the recipes I have.





here is the gnocchi recipe my mom uses:


INGREDIENTS


8 potatoes


2 tablespoons butter


2 cups all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and peel. Mash potatoes with fork, masher or in ricer. Place in large bowl and make a well in the center. Put butter in well and allow to melt. When mashed potatoes have cooled, knead in enough of the flour to make a soft dough.


Divide dough into fist-sized portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the ropes into one-inch pieces. Roll each piece with a fork for a distinctive texture.


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until they float to the top; drain and serve with tomato sauce.

    Chapati (Indian Flat Bread) Recipe


    Guest Author - vandana trivedi





    Ingredients


    wheat flour - 2 cups


    Warm milk - 1/2 cup(optional)


    Plain flour - ¼ cup (to dust the chapatis)


    Warm water - enough to make a soft dough





    Method:


    Mix the wheat flour and milk and make a soft and moist dough by slowly adding water(u don't want to get it too soft). Knead it till it looks smooth. Cove the dough and keep aside at least for 30 minutes.


    Divide the dough in to 6-8 balls with the dough and dust them with the plain flour (to prevent sticking) and roll into thin flat tortilla like rounds using a rolling pin. ( keep applying plain flour in between to prevent it from sticking on to roller pin).


    Heat a skillet and put the chapati and let it cook for a minute and the top looks dry then turn it over and cook on the other side till small bubbles appear and chapati starts to puff. Once cooked remove it from skillet aply some clarified butter on one side(optional) and store in a kitchen towel lined bread basket to keep them from drying.





    You can use Clean Kitchen towel or flat lattle to press it gently while cooking the other side, if you like your chapaties puffed. (this might take a while to perfect the art of puffing the chapati.)





    Serve the chappatis with any kind of gravy.


    You can also freeze them for later use.I went to this Indian restaurant %26amp; they had this great (lentil?) soup %26amp; flat bread--recipes for either?
    Here is an easy one to do. I love this in the winter. In the summer you can make it really thick (add less water) and put it in pita bread or even flour tortillas like a soft taco thing. Lentils are really good for you lots of minerals and protein.

    Naan








    This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.





    Original recipe yield:





    INGREDIENTS


    1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast


    1 cup warm water


    1/4 cup white sugar


    3 tablespoons milk


    1 egg, beaten


    2 teaspoons salt


    4 1/2 cups bread flour


    2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)


    1/4 cup butter, melted





    DIRECTIONS


    1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.


    2. Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.


    3. During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.


    At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

    flour for dusting


    softened butter, for brushing


    5 4-inch squares silver leaf ( \xb3varak\xb2-optional)

    Lightly dust your hands with flour and knead the dough briefly on a work surface. Divide into 10 portions and roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball. Put on a plate.





    Preheat griddle over high heat for 2 minutes; reduce the heat to medium. Meanwhile, roll a ball of dough into a 4 inch oval, dusting with flour if necessary. Stretch one end of the dough by hand to create a teardrop shape. Transfer the naan to the hot griddle. Cover with a lid and cook 1 minute. Remove the lid, flip the naan with a metal spatula, and continue cooking uncovered until the bottom is specked lightly. Brush with butter while it cooks on the second side, and press the naan gently with the back of a metal spoon so the bread will puff evenly. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining dough. Put silver leaf on 5 of the naans and place alternately with the other 5 naans, slightly overlapping, in a napkin lined basket. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 10 naans.

    2 1/2 cups dry lentils


    2 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken broth


    1 1/2 large carrot, shredded


    1 large onion, grated


    1 cup asparagus tips


    1 cup sweet peas


    1/4 cup white sugar


    2 tablespoons orange marmalade


    2 tablespoons curry powder


    1 pinch saffron


    1 teaspoon kosher salt


    ground black pepper to taste





    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).


    Cut the top off of the head of garlic and place in a shallow dish in 1 inch of water. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with basil, cover and place on a baking sheet. Halve and seed the bell pepper, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on the baking sheet.


    Bake garlic and pepper in preheated oven until pepper is browned and garlic is soft, 20 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and, when cool enough to handle, remove skin from pepper and chop. Squeeze out garlic cloves and mash together in a bowl to form a paste.


    While garlic and pepper are baking, combine lentils and chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes, until lentils are just tender.


    Stir garlic paste, bell pepper, carrots, onion, asparagus, peas into lentil mixture, adding more broth to thin if necessary. Season with sugar, marmalade, curry powder, saffron, salt and pepper. Simmer 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.

    Hot bouillon or consomme does wonders for a cold.


    Dissolve a cube in a cup of boiling water, sip %26amp; inhale.


    Don't have either, use slices of lemon %26amp; juice.


    Cream soups are also very simple to make.


    Make a roux with equal parts flour %26amp; oil or butter.


    Cook 2 tbsp over medium low heat, whisk in 1 cup of milk/serving.


    Add an equal volume of stock or water %26amp; grated or chopped vegetables.


    Broccoli %26amp; cauliflower go together, so do parsnip %26amp; carrot.


    Stir until thickened %26amp; bubbling, do not let scorch.


    Pumpkin can be baked in the oven first, then made into a soup.
