Good soup and sandwich recipes?

I am looking for two qualities: unique and hearty for either, and I don't want recipes containing curry powder. Any recipes to expand my collection would be greatly appreciated! Incorporating vegetables, or lots of vegetables, wins kudos with me. Thanks!Good soup and sandwich recipes?
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?

Roasted Vegetable Sandwhich





If you have a George Foreman grill it's a SNAP. Marinate your veggies (the peppers, onions and squash) in FF italian dressing (or similar). Then grill! Think about adding eggplant to the mix. Of course...you wouldn't want to grill the sprouts or cukes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Brush eggplant and red bell peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil; use more if necessary, depending on sizes of vegetables. Place on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven. Roast eggplant until tender, about 25 minutes; roast peppers until blackened. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.


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.

First choice would be a wrap-- there are several types of wraps at your local market, spinach, tomatoe basil, etc., You could use turkey,tomatoe, spinach,some finely sliced green onion and some spinach with a mild honey,mustard dressing--wrap tightly, and cut on a bias... 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
