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.


ThanksDoes Anybody know any good Soup Recipes???
This takes a lot of time but it is worth it.





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???

Making soups is kind of a lost art;-{ I enjoy a few favourites:


Start with 2 tbsp of butter or oil, heat in heavy saucepan.


Add 2 tbsp of flour, cook over medium heat until golden.


Add 1 cup of water %26amp; 1 cup of whole milk for cream soups.


That forms your base for any combination of flavours:


MUSHROOM: slice a few mushrooms %26amp; cook in the oil.


BROCCOLI: Chop broccoli steps in a food processor.


CARROT: Grate a couple of carrots, add some ginger.


PEA: Run a cup or more of cooked peas through a sieve.


You can also add a boullion or consomme cube for stock.

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)
i love this soup! i love pho!








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.
