Split Pea Soup with Ham Hocks


Chowders (corn, potato, seafood)
Here is one of my favorites --Black Bean Soup





1 cup dried black beans


1 onion (yellow or white) sliced


2 celery stalks, diced


3-4 Tablespoons of butter (unsalted)


4 cups water


1/4 teaspoon dry mustard


1 teaspoon of salt


1/4 cayenne pepper (or any hot pepper ground or flakes)


1/2 cup dry sherry





Soak the beans overnight.


Saute the onions and celery in all but a Tablespoon of butter in a largish sauce pan. Add the beans and water and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer for about 2 1/2 hours.


Then in a skillet melt the butter, add the mustard, salt, and cayenne or other pepper and mix well. Add a Tablespoon of the bean mixture and stir until smooth. Then slowly pour half of the sherry in, stirring constantly. Then add this to the bean mixture along with the rest of the sherry.





Done! I like to put day old or toasted french bread in the bottom of a bowl and then add the soup. There are a million variations, of course, and I rarely make it the same exact way twice.





Hope this helps!!





(By the way, this is MY recipe. It's not off the web or out of a book, but one put together after trying several other recipes. If I don't have my own recipe I always give my source.)
I am a soup maniac... I Make beef, beef barley, chicken (of course) , Split pea with ham, white bean %26amp; escarole, butternut squash, Italian wedding, etc. Email me if you want any of these. But for now, here's a less common one: Portuguese soup.


There are many versions, but mine requires:





About 1 pound of whole chuck.


Half a head of cabbage


One bunch of Kale (you can sub spinach or escarole)


1/2 can of white beans


1/2 can of pink or red kidney beans


Garlic ( 1-3 cloves), Chopped celery, onions, %26amp; carrot ( cup or so each)


Beef broth. 3-4 cans





Cut the chuck up into medium cubes and brown in the bottom of a stock pot with some olive oil.


Remove the chuck and add celery, onions, carrots and garlic to the pan. Saute' for a few minutes. Add the cabbage %26amp; kale for about a minute. Then add the beans, %26amp; the broth. Bring to a boil and return the chuck to the mix. Cover and simmer on low at least one hour.


Done.





(I like to boil some small pasta like Ditalini on the side and put some in the bowl at serving time with all my soups. Don't boil the pasta IN the soup or it will dry up and become un-freezable. Freeze the left-overs in a zip bag for another round next week!
Taco Soup





1-1陆 lbs. lean ground beef


1 onion, chopped


1 can beef broth (or 2 cups water + 2 beef boullion cubes)


1 can whole kernel corn, undrained (I like the mix of white and yellow corn)

1 can red or black beans, drained and rinsed


1 packet Taco seasoning





Garnishes (any or all)


sour cream


diced green onions


sliced black olives


sliced jalapenos


guacamole


shredded cheddar cheese








Brown ground beef over medium heat in large stock pot. When nearly cooked, add onions and saut茅 w/ ground beef. When onions are wilted but still opaque, stop cooking and drain off any fat. Return to heat and add remaining indredients. Cover and let simmer at least 30 minutes, or up to about 3 hours. (Can be held longer in a slow cooker set on Low.)





Serve in bowls w/ crushed corn chips in the bottom. Top each bowl w/ garnish of choice.

--Costco cookbook
Try an Italian ribollita-style bean soup - very warm and filling. Saute a diced onion, a diced carrot, and a diced celery stalk in some olive oil until soft. Add 1 can of whole cannellini beans with liquid, and then add another can of beans which you have already pureed (2 cans of beans total). Let it simmer. Then add chopped kale, and let it cook until it's soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can leave it on the stove top and reheat it when you're ready to serve. Serve it in shallow bowls over slices of toasted crusty bread. A very good and filling winter soup. This recipe is foolproof and very easily adapted to individual tastes and availability of ingredients. You can add other types of veggies, like escarole instead of kale, or saute some pancetta into it too. If it's too thick, just add a little chicken broth.

MINESTRONE





2 quarts chicken stock


1 head garlic, halved


1/2 pound small rigatoni


Extra-virgin olive oil


8 fresh sage leaves


1 sprig fresh rosemary


1 sprig fresh thyme


3/4 pound loose sweet Italian pork sausage


2 medium carrots, roughly chopped


2 celery ribs, roughly chopped


1 onion, roughly chopped


1 (28-ounce) can crushed plum tomatoes


1 bay leaf


2 (28-ounce) cans cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed


1/2 bunch fresh parsley leaves, finely minced


Coarsely ground black pepper


12 slices baguette


1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano





Combine the stock and halved garlic head in a big saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes to give the stock a nice, garlicky taste; strain out the garlic. Keep warm.





Bring a pot of salted water to boil for the rigatoni.





Pour 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the sage, rosemary and thyme and warm the oil over medium heat to infuse it with the flavor of the herbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the sausage with the side of a big spoon until well browned. Chop the carrots, celery, and onion in a food processor. Add to the saucepan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned.





To the pan with the sausage stir in the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, cannelloni beans, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.





Cook the rigatoni in the boiling water for 6 minutes; it should be slightly underdone. Drain and stir into the simmering soup. Add the parsley, and salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste. Discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs.





To serve, preheat the broiler. Put the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and float a couple of the baguette slices on top.

    canned vegetables will keep outside of the fridge...they are not as high in nutrition as fresh ones...but they are better than potatoes which are just high in starch...not something really great for baby---not bad but not good.





    I'm currently prego right now too. I figure you want something filling but easy to prepare and not too much crap in there where it turns your stomach. Try making a little roast---get a small piece of beef, cut up some potatoes and carrots, add some peas or green beans, and cook until done. Add salt and pepper to taste.





    Buying canned soups also might be a good option for you since you lack space. I eat a lot of the Cambpell's Chunky soup--fat free--it's filling and healthy. They've got a lot of varieties to choose from too. I also eat the generic tomato and cream soups....they taste the same....and they are easy on my stomach. Hope this helps.
    root vegetables like potatoes last outside the fridge (in dark dry place or brown paper bag. bake nicely in microwave too





    healthy coice soups are lower in salt





    eat lots of fresh fruit its good for you and the baby - congrats
    i would say just go and buy the little microwave soups
    Being preg and cooking is rough! Can you tolerate chili? This is a white chicken chili and you don't have to refigerate anything but the chicken. I'm going to do my best but I do everything to taste because I'm single and I enjoy trying new things so please bear with me.





    1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces


    2 T oil (I use canola)


    cook chicken in oil and drain any extra liquid


    1 can navy beans, northern beans, or cannellini beans (your choice)


    1 small can diced tomatoes


    garlic, cumin, and onion powder to taste


    heat through and enjoy





    you could also do a chicken veg soup that uses canned vegs.


    use the same chicken as above then add corn, green beans, and potatoes or a can of mixed vegs and season to taste





    Good luck!

    Aztech Soup! Delicious, Hot (as much as you want) and different





    2 cans prediced tomatoes mexican receipe


    2 whole chicken breasts (with bones)


    1 can of chipotle peppers (if it says ';adobado'; its the way to go)


    1 package of chicken concentrate (about 10g)


    1 package of beef concentrate (about 10g)


    1 onion


    1 package of corn tortilla chips


    Avocado


    Sour cream


    Mozzarella cheese (grated).


    Patience





    Wash chicken breasts and put them in a big pot with enough water to cover them, peel the onion and cut it in half, put it in the water, add the concentrates and let the chicken cook in this for around 30-40 minutes, let it boil and cook in the water.


    Open the tomato cans and blend them along with 1 of the peppers (if you want it spicier add another one, be careful they are powerful)(if you got dehidrated boil one of them first and then put it in the blender). Let the mix sit until chicken is ready.


    When chicken is done take the breasts and pull the meat off, reincorporating only the meat to the soup, be sure that the meat is in even shreds. Add the cooked onion and some of the water to the tomato mix and blend again. Add this mixture to the whole pot (now it starts to smell mmmmmm mmmmm good). Be sure to add every single drop of tomato mix to the soup. There you go, you have delicious aztech soup, now for serving:


    in a bowl add the cheese, as much as you want, on top of this pour the soup with soup and chicken. inside put chips and avocado (one avocado is good for 4 servings) and top with a tablespoon of sour cream.


    This receipe is good for around 8 servings (regular soup bowls) and believe me, everyone is going to be filled with the first one! TIP: Lactose products reduce the spiciness so if it gets too hot for someone give them an extra serving of sour cream. And sodas or drinks with gas will increase the spicyness in your mouth so stay with natural drinks or non-gaseuos drinksGood soup and sandwich recipes?

    Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute mushrooms until tender. Stir crushed garlic into mayonnaise. Slice focaccia in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise mixture on one or both halves.


    Peel cooled peppers, core and slice. Arrange eggplant, peppers and mushrooms on focaccia. Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap; place a cutting board on top of it and weight it down with some canned foods. Allow sandwich to sit for 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Would be good with a split pea soup with a dallop of Sour cream and a splash of sherry----and a sprinkle of Parmeasean cheese..ummmmm

    , campbell recipe book
    ok chef here!!!


    im good at soups, they're easy to get right, ok the base i always use for a soup is celery, leek and onion, thats called your mirepoix, after that your soup will have more body and a good base flavour!!


    ok try these, cut up one onion, the white part of one leek, and three sticks of celery, wash them, then sweat them off in some olive oil till they're soft!!! thats the base!!!


    ok two of my favourites are 1. carrot and coconut,


    roughly chop about 5 or 6 carrots, sweat them off with your mirepoix, add in loads of water and boil the crap out of it for about an hour, just dont let the water boil off, or your veg will burn!!! add in salt and white pepper not too much for now, use a soup gun (blender) to make a puree, nice and thick, watery soup is not cool!!! if its too thin, blend in some mashed potato, or leave it on the range to reduce, NEVER EVER add flour, cornflour or roux (butter and flour whipped together) it totally ruins the soup!!!! at the end, blend in a tin or two of coconut milk, then blend in more salt and white pepper to taste, keep tasting till you have it right!!!


    the other one is celeriac and cumin, exactly the same as above replacing the carrots with peeled chopped celeriac, and replacing the coconut milk wtih full cream and cumin powder, and dont be afraid to use a little veg stock if you cant get the body right, keep tweaking till you get it to your taste!!!!


    also try celery and apple, or roast mixed pepper, same principal for them all, that'll keep ya going for a while!!!! bon apetite!!!
    I've made this and it's delicious.





    Pumpkin Carrot Soup





    1 stick butter


    2 onions


    2 1/2 cups peeled, cut pumpkin pieces


    2 carrots


    1 tbs curry


    1 tbs Chinese five-spice powder


    1/4 cup Thai chili sauce


    1/4 cup Dijon mustard


    1 quart heavy cream


    4-5 shakes black pepper


    1 cup sour cream


    Dill garnish


    Pot of chicken stock





    Heat up a large pot with a stick of butter. Add the onions next so that they'll cook at the bottom of the pot and brown a little. Cut some carrots into chunks big enough to go into a food processor and add those to the pot. Add some peeled, cut pumpkin chunks to the pot with a heaping tablespoon of curry, Chinese five-spice powder and lots of black pepper. Last, add your chicken stock (or water base). Now, boil your soup for about two hours. Pure茅 the mixture in a food processor to your desired thickness and refrigerate overnight.





    The next day, while you are heating your soup, add sour cream, Thai chili sauce, Dijon mustard and a little salt and pepper into a bowl and mix. Pour a quart of heavy cream into your soup while it's heating and add some salt. Pour the soup into individual servings (if your soup is still too thick, try adding some water), then add a dollop of the sour cream mixture and a handful of dill garnish to each bowl.

    Any got any good recipes for soup with courgettes?

    I have bought a load and was thinking of a ';cream of..'; or something.


    I also have sweet potato and onions as other veg.


    Thanks!Any got any good recipes for soup with courgettes?
    Courgette soup is one of my favourites as it's delicious on it's own or with other flavours, such as this courgette and bacon soup:





    Ingredients


    1 tbsp Olive oil


    150g Bacon, chopped


    1 onion, sliced


    600g courgettes


    1 litre vegetable, pork or chicken stock


    salt and fresh ground black pepper


    120g plain yogurt


    a pinch of Paprika





    1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add 100g (two-thirds) of the bacon and fry gently until it starts to brown. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.





    2. Add the courgettes and stock. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the courgettes are very tender.





    3. Meanwhile, in a small frying pan, fry the remaining chopped bacon until crisp. Set aside to drain on kitchen paper.





    4. Remove the soup from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Process until smooth using a hand-blender or food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper.





    5. Reheat the soup as necessary, then divide amongst serving bowls. To garnish, place 2 tbsp yoghurt in each bowl, sprinkle with bacon.





    Otherwise I love this Nigella Lawson recipe for 'Happiness Soup' - isn't that a great name? It uses yellow courgettes but you can use green: http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/516220





    While I haven't tried a courgette and sweet potato soup, I regularly make couscous with those vegetables by either roasting them or cubing and sauteing them before stirring through cooked couscous.





    Let us know what you make!

    add milk til desired consistency.


    Pour broccoli mix and white sauce together.


    Simmer on low a few minutes and serve.


    Sometimes I add a couple tablespoons of dejion mustard.
    Broccoli is a robust vegetable that is best served as simply as you can. Source the freshest Broccoli you can, put it in a pan with fresh water slightly salted and boil until just tender. Put the broccoli into a blender with some of the water you cooked it in. pulse until smooth, and serve into warmed plates.





    If you really want to you can mix in a little double cream, (heavy cream if you are American) but it truly does not need it.

    Anyone have any good tofu soup recipes?

    Need a soup recipe, something spicy preferably. Any suggestions?Anyone have any good tofu soup recipes?
    My family loves Miso Ramen. We make this recipe, replacing the meat with tofu, using eggless noodles and using faux chicken stock made of veggies instead. It can be made in big batches and used throughout the week.Anyone have any good tofu soup recipes?
    I made tofu kebabs 2 days ago.


    I marinaded the tofu in mustard, olive oil, cider vinegar, dried rosemary, dried sage, salt and pepper.


    Lest if in the fridge for 3 hours and grilled them with green peppers, mushrooms and zucchini.





    Sorry, so tofu soups I know of :(
    Perhaps a nice miso soup mix would be good... Tofu tastes like whatever you put it in, so toss it in chili or veggie soup. Silken tofu can be a great base for creamy soups if you add soy milk and season...

    Does Anybody know any good Soup Recipes???

    Its kind of cold in my neck of the woods any I would rather cook than get some Instant packet. Preferably Beef or Chicken Soups, any websites, links or ones that you have of your own will do great.

    Cracker Barrel Chicken %26amp; Dumplins'





    Chicken and Broth


    3 quarts water


    1 (3-4 pound) chicken, cut up


    1 1/2 teaspoons salt


    1 small onion, sliced


    2 stalks celery, chopped


    1 clove garlic, peeled and quartered


    1 bay leaf


    4-6 whole parsley leaves


    1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper


    1 tablespoon lemon juice





    Dumplins'


    2 cups all-purpose flour


    1 tablespoon baking powder


    1 1/4 teaspoons salt


    1 cup + 2 tablespoons milk





    1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. Add the chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and parsley to the pot. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook the chicken, uncovered, for 2 hours. The liquid will reduce by about one third.


    2. When the chicken has cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Strain the stock to remove all the vegetables and floating scum. You only want the stock and the chicken, so toss everything else out.


    3. Pour 1 1/2 quarts(6 cups) of the stock back into the pot (keep the leftover stock for another recipe-it can be frozen). You may also want to use a smaller pot or a large saucepan for this. Add coarsely ground pepper, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the lemon juice, then reheat the stock over medium heat while preparing the dumplins'.


    4. For dumplins', combine the flour, baking powder,


    1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir well until smooth, then let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about a 1/2-inch thickness.


    5. Cut the dough into 1/2-inch squares and drop each square into the simmering stock. Use all of the dough. The dumplins' will first swell and then slowly shrink as they partially dissolve to thicken the stock to a white gravy. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until thick. Stir often.


    6. While the stock is thickening, the chicken will have become cool enough to handle. Tear all the meat from the bones and remove the skin. Cut the chicken meat into bite-sized or a little bigger than bite-sized pieces and drop them into the pot. Discard the skin and bones. Continue to simmer the chicken and dumplins' for another 5-10 minutes, but don't stir too vigorously or the chicken will shred and fall apart. You want big chunks in tye end.


    7. When the gravy has reached the desired consistency, serve hot.Does Anybody know any good Soup Recipes???

    You can make chicken and vegie soup


    Chop up your chicken, and vegies eg carrots, potatotes,onions, cabbages even celery if you have it, add salt to taste


    Bring to boil with water then simmer till vegies are soft
    Take a can of chicken broth. Add parmesan cheese to taste. Crack an egg and wisk it up. While the soup is on the stove and very hot, gradually pour the egg into the soup. I got this recipe from a gourmet cookbook and it is delicious! Add more egg if you want.
    I'm afraid it's not beef or chicken...but I made this once and almost ate the whole pot by myself! It's VERY hearty. (See link below)

    Emerilized Banh Pho Bo: Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001


    Show: Emeril Live


    Episode: Oodles of Noodles

















    Beef Broth:


    1 tablespoon peanut oil


    2 cups sliced yellow onions, plus 1 yellow onion, halved


    3 star anise pods, plus 1 piece star anise


    2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed


    5 pounds meaty beef bones


    2 carrots, thinly sliced


    2 tablespoons chopped fresh gingerroot


    1 cinnamon stick, broken in half


    2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns





    To Assemble the Pho:


    Vegetable oil, for frying


    12 ounces rice vermicelli noodles


    3 tablespoons fish sauce


    1/2 pound beef sirloin, very thinly sliced


    1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion


    2 cups bean sprouts


    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro


    4 small red chiles, sliced


    1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (green tops only)


    Lime wedges, as garnish








    Preheat the grill.


    In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until just beginning to color, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat.





    Press three star anise into the flesh of the halved onions and place on the grill. Grill until blackened, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.





    Add the bones to a large stockpot and cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, skimming the top to remove any foam that forms on the surface. Add grilled and Sauteed onions, and the remaining ingredients, stir well, and simmer partly covered for at least 6 and up to 10 hours, adding more water as needed to keep the bones covered by 1-inch. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. Remove meat from bones and set aside. Discard everything but the meat from the bones and the broth.





    Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil, and heat enough vegetable oil in a large saucepan to come 4 inches up the sides. Add half of the noodles to the water and boil until just tender, then drain in a colander. Add the remaining noodles to the hot oil and fry briefly until golden brown and crisp, then transfer to paper towels to drain.





    To make the Pho, bring the soup to a simmer, as needed, and add the fish sauce. Transfer to a large tureen or pot that can be placed on the table and kept warm. Drain the boiled noodles in a colander and divide among 6 soup bowls. Divide the remaining ingredients and the reserved meat from the bones among the bowls and ladle the broth over each portion at the table. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.

    Cook the wild rice mix according to package directions. (Instead, you could cook 陆 cup wild rice in 2 cups water for about 45 minutes.)





    Put condensed soups in a big pot along with milk and stir until smooth. Add all the veggies and chicken, and simmer. Reduce heat and stir in wine, rice, and parsley. Simmer 30 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper. (You will probably need S%26amp;P if you used the plain wild rice.) Ladle into bowls, and garnish each bowl with almonds and parsley.
