Can you tell me a good soup recipes without cream or cheese in it?

It depends on if you want sweet, brothy, thin, thick.


I am a caterer and receive a lot of requests for summer soups right now.





I'll share a few with you, but don't know if these are the type you are looking for.





BUTTERNUT SWEET SUMMER SOUP


--%26gt;2 butternut squash AND 1 or 2 sweet potatoes


Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, brush flat sides with cooking spray or olive oil, and place flat-side-down in a glass baking dish.


--%26gt;2 cloves garlic, minced


--%26gt;add some water - about an inch in the glass dish, and then add the garlic.


--%26gt;poke a few holes in the sweet potato(es) with a fork, and add them to the dish.


--%26gt;bake at 350 for about 1-1/2 hours.





CARROTS


--%26gt;While the squash is baking, add 2 cups carrots to 3 cups of water in a LARGE pot and boil until carrots are tender.





--%26gt;CHICKEN STOCK OR SOY MILK (depends on if you don't eat meat products)


--%26gt;Add 2-1/2 cups chicken stock about 1/2 cup at a time and keep blending.


--%26gt;Add S%26amp;P


--%26gt;add bit of brown sugar (I use about 3 tablespoons)





When squash is very soft, scoop flesh into the pot, scoop out meat of sweet potato and add to the pot with the liquid left in the bottom of the glass baking dish.





Using an immersion blender, stir/blend until smooth.


NOTE: (If you don't have an immersion blender, you can wait till the end of the recipe, then use a blender or food processor to make the soup smooth and creamy.)


Serve either hot or cold. YUM


ENJOY
