Try to create soup, casseroles and stirfrys without a recipe. It's so much more creative and suited to your tastes. Here's my general recipe.





Chicken or Beef broth (canned or fresh)


Vegetables


Chopped up leftover meat from the fridge


Frozen ravioli or tortellini


Herbs





Bring the broth to a boil, add in the veggies. Bring to a boil again. Add in the ravioli or tortellini. Bring to a boil again and add in the meat and herbs. Let simmer until the tortellinis are tender.
Here鈥檚 a great roasted veggie soup.





This is a very simple soup to make, but I promise you that roasting the vegetables before putting them in the soup makes a HUGE difference.





Chop everything to the size you like in soup.





Group 1


1 cup of chopped celery


1 cup of chopped carrots


1 large chopped onion


1 large leek chopped.





Group 2


two cups of chopped pumpkin (or butternut squash)


1 cup of chopped sweet potato


1 cup chopped parsnips


1 cup of chopped potatoes.








Put all of group two in a roasting dish with two table spoons of vegetable oil and put them in the oven for 40 minutes on 180 until they are all golden brown.





While Group 2 is roasting, put Group 1 into a large soup pan with a tablespoon of butter and a table spoon of vegetable oil and cook until everything is clear and golden.





When Group two is ready, add it to the pan and then cover with boiling water and simmer for about 30 minutes and use salt and pepper and mixed herbs to flavour.





Enjoy!

GOOD AND QUICK SOUP





Ground beef

1 big can tomato juice


1 can Veg-All


As many potatoes, as desired


Water





Brown beef and add rest of ingredients and cook until potatoes are done. Salt and pepper to taste.
HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES





EGG NOODLES:


3 cups flour


1/2 tsp salt


4 eggs, at room temperature


1/3 cup water





Put flour, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Using your hand, mix together, adding 1 tbsp water at a time and mixing until dough forms a ball.





Place dough on a well-floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes.





Cut dough into 4 equal parts; keep covered. Roll 1 part of dough at a time until desired thickness is reached (about 1/16th of an inch). Roll dough around rolling pin and slip rolling pin out. Cut in 1/2 to 1/8-inch strips and shake out on a towel to dry, for about 2 hours. While noodles are drying, make soup.

INGREDIENTS:


1 tablespoon olive oil


1 large onion

8 sprigs fresh parsley


6 sprigs fresh thyme

I worked in several restaurants over many years. Often, for a vegetarian soup, chef would use V-8 vegetable juice as the base. Then add a little noodle (such as a small, interesting shaped pasta: tiny bow ties or little tubes.) Or add some cooked barley (that in itself takes about 45 minutes) Or any other grain. You can add cooked lentils, or cooked legumes such as black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans for some protien. I like to cut up a little celery and carrot, sometimes a little bit of cabbage, cook in a little bit of water and pour it into the soup base. If you don't use V-8 or tomato juice as a base for vegetable soup, you can get vegetable base, or cubes of vegetable broth.
