butternut squash - sweet potato %26amp; parsnip soup:





depends how much you want to make, but equal quantities of butternut squash and sweet potato and half of parsnip.


Cut into chunks and cover with water, add salt %26amp; pepper and curry powder (again amount depends on your taste) - bring to boil and then simmer for approx 1/2 hour.


Liquidise / blend to consistency you like - can be really thick or can add a little more water if you like it thinner.


when serving add a swirl of single cream and freshly grated black pepper.





This is a great soup - very tasty and filling.


Sorry the recipe is a bit vague - but I had it at a friends house and she told me the recipe and I just make it in different quantities that I need at the time - hence the ';vagueness'; of the ingredients!! But it is fail safe and always turns out good. Also freezes well.


Do take a chance and give it a go - you won't be disappointed and if you like it, like me you can vary the ingredient quantities the next time!Know any good root vegetable soup recipes?

I wouldn't put them together but here is the recipes I have.





here is the gnocchi recipe my mom uses:


INGREDIENTS


8 potatoes


2 tablespoons butter


2 cups all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and peel. Mash potatoes with fork, masher or in ricer. Place in large bowl and make a well in the center. Put butter in well and allow to melt. When mashed potatoes have cooled, knead in enough of the flour to make a soft dough.


Divide dough into fist-sized portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a long rope. Cut the ropes into one-inch pieces. Roll each piece with a fork for a distinctive texture.


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until they float to the top; drain and serve with tomato sauce.

    Chapati (Indian Flat Bread) Recipe


    Guest Author - vandana trivedi





    Ingredients


    wheat flour - 2 cups


    Warm milk - 1/2 cup(optional)


    Plain flour - ¼ cup (to dust the chapatis)


    Warm water - enough to make a soft dough





    Method:


    Mix the wheat flour and milk and make a soft and moist dough by slowly adding water(u don't want to get it too soft). Knead it till it looks smooth. Cove the dough and keep aside at least for 30 minutes.


    Divide the dough in to 6-8 balls with the dough and dust them with the plain flour (to prevent sticking) and roll into thin flat tortilla like rounds using a rolling pin. ( keep applying plain flour in between to prevent it from sticking on to roller pin).


    Heat a skillet and put the chapati and let it cook for a minute and the top looks dry then turn it over and cook on the other side till small bubbles appear and chapati starts to puff. Once cooked remove it from skillet aply some clarified butter on one side(optional) and store in a kitchen towel lined bread basket to keep them from drying.





    You can use Clean Kitchen towel or flat lattle to press it gently while cooking the other side, if you like your chapaties puffed. (this might take a while to perfect the art of puffing the chapati.)





    Serve the chappatis with any kind of gravy.


    You can also freeze them for later use.I went to this Indian restaurant %26amp; they had this great (lentil?) soup %26amp; flat bread--recipes for either?
    Here is an easy one to do. I love this in the winter. In the summer you can make it really thick (add less water) and put it in pita bread or even flour tortillas like a soft taco thing. Lentils are really good for you lots of minerals and protein.

    Naan








    This recipe makes the best naan I have tasted outside of an Indian restaurant. I can't make enough of it for my family. I serve it with shish kabobs, but I think they would eat it plain.





    Original recipe yield:





    INGREDIENTS


    1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast


    1 cup warm water


    1/4 cup white sugar


    3 tablespoons milk


    1 egg, beaten


    2 teaspoons salt


    4 1/2 cups bread flour


    2 teaspoons minced garlic (optional)


    1/4 cup butter, melted





    DIRECTIONS


    1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until frothy. Stir in sugar, milk, egg, salt, and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside to rise. Let it rise 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.


    2. Punch down dough, and knead in garlic. Pinch off small handfuls of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls, and place on a tray. Cover with a towel, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.


    3. During the second rising, preheat grill to high heat.


    At grill side, roll one ball of dough out into a thin circle. Lightly oil grill. Place dough on grill, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until puffy and lightly browned. Brush uncooked side with butter, and turn over. Brush cooked side with butter, and cook until browned, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from grill, and continue the process until all the naan has been prepared.

    flour for dusting


    softened butter, for brushing


    5 4-inch squares silver leaf ( \xb3varak\xb2-optional)

    Lightly dust your hands with flour and knead the dough briefly on a work surface. Divide into 10 portions and roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball. Put on a plate.





    Preheat griddle over high heat for 2 minutes; reduce the heat to medium. Meanwhile, roll a ball of dough into a 4 inch oval, dusting with flour if necessary. Stretch one end of the dough by hand to create a teardrop shape. Transfer the naan to the hot griddle. Cover with a lid and cook 1 minute. Remove the lid, flip the naan with a metal spatula, and continue cooking uncovered until the bottom is specked lightly. Brush with butter while it cooks on the second side, and press the naan gently with the back of a metal spoon so the bread will puff evenly. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining dough. Put silver leaf on 5 of the naans and place alternately with the other 5 naans, slightly overlapping, in a napkin lined basket. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 10 naans.

    2 1/2 cups dry lentils


    2 (32 fluid ounce) containers chicken broth


    1 1/2 large carrot, shredded


    1 large onion, grated


    1 cup asparagus tips


    1 cup sweet peas


    1/4 cup white sugar


    2 tablespoons orange marmalade


    2 tablespoons curry powder


    1 pinch saffron


    1 teaspoon kosher salt


    ground black pepper to taste





    DIRECTIONS


    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).


    Cut the top off of the head of garlic and place in a shallow dish in 1 inch of water. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with basil, cover and place on a baking sheet. Halve and seed the bell pepper, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on the baking sheet.


    Bake garlic and pepper in preheated oven until pepper is browned and garlic is soft, 20 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and, when cool enough to handle, remove skin from pepper and chop. Squeeze out garlic cloves and mash together in a bowl to form a paste.


    While garlic and pepper are baking, combine lentils and chicken broth in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 40 minutes, until lentils are just tender.


    Stir garlic paste, bell pepper, carrots, onion, asparagus, peas into lentil mixture, adding more broth to thin if necessary. Season with sugar, marmalade, curry powder, saffron, salt and pepper. Simmer 30 minutes more, until vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.

    www.recipezaar.com
    You start with a good broth, your choice of beef, chicken or vegetable. It is ok to buy it if you don't have one you've made. I especially like to make vegetable soup using the liquid left from cooking a boiled dinner.


    I start with 6 cups of broth and 4 cups of water in a large stock pot. Add salt and pepper to taste, 1 bay leaf, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of mixed Italain seasoning. Add a dash of hot sauce and a dash of Worchestershire.





    Add about one cup of any or all of the following vegetables, diced;


    potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, cabbage, rutabaga, mushrooms.You can add cut green beans and/or frozen peas. I usually add a can of diced tomatoes with the juice.





    Bring to a boil,then reduce to a simmer. It will take about an hour and a half to cook until the veggies are tender but the longer you simmer it the better it gets. You want to cook out the water, leaving the broth and vegetable flavors.





    I also taste along the way and adjust add more seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

    Chicken Soup





    Ingredients


    6 cups chicken stock


    4 cups water


    2 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, split in half [4 pieces]


    1 Tablespoon butter


    1 Tablespoon olive oil


    1 1/2 cups diced celery


    1 1/2 cups diced yellow onion


    1 1/2 cups diced carrots


    1 teaspoon black pepper


    1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme


    1 bunch broccoli, trimmed to the bud clusters and separated into tiny florets [about 2 cups]





    Method


    In a large stockpot over moderately high heat, combine stock, water, and chicken breasts and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Remove chicken breasts, cool, and shred meat into bite sized pieces [about 4 cups].





    Strain liquid through a cheesecloth and reserve. Wipe stockpot out thoroughly and returnto moderate heat. Melt butter and olive oil until foaming, then add celery, onions, and carrots.





    Cook, stirring, occasionally, until vegetables begin to sweat, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in black pepper and thyme. Cook for several more minutes, stirring frequently, until the edges of the onions begin to color. Add liquid and return to a boil. Lower heat and simmer uncovered until flavors marry and vegetables are tender, about 35 minutes. Season with salt to taste and remaining thyme and more pepper if needed.





    Just before serving: Remove pot from heat. Add shredded chicken and broccoli florets, allowing the soup to sit long enough so chicken is warmed through [without becoming rubbery]and broccoli is crisp-tender and beautifully colored, about 3 to 5 minutes.

    2 quarts Little Neck clams, steamed, liquor reserved


    3-4 lbs potatoes, peeled


    1/2 lb lean salt pork


    3 large sweet onions, sliced


    2 whole bay leaves


    1 thick slice bacon (optional)


    2-3 celery stalks with green tops


    4 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced


    2-3 green onions or 1 leek, finely chopped (optional)


    1-2 lbs frozen sweet corn (as desired)


    3 cloves garlic


    1 pint cream


    1 quart clam broth or water


    1/2 gallon milk


    pinch celery seed (optional)


    3-4 tablespoons flour


    1 stick butter


    1 tablespoon olive oil


    salt and pepper, to taste


    paprika, to taste





    Thoroughly wash clams, scrubbing shells. If you're using freshly dug clams, sprinkle the washed clams with corn meal the night before use, and refrigerate overnight to allow the clams to be sand free.


    On the day the chowder is to be prepared, steam, clean and shuck enough clams to have at least 2 quarts of clams (more is better!). Save the clam liquor (broth created while steaming). Refrigerate the cooked clams in their liquor.





    Meanwhile, prepare the chowder base. Using a sharp knife, slice the salt pork (pancetta can be substituted) into 1/8'; inch dice (including rind).





    In a large stockpot, on the lowest heat setting, add salt pork to pan; add bacon (also chopped). Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, allowing salt pork to render. Remove from heat and allow to sit for another 15 minutes. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter (save remaining butter for later).





    Saut茅 thinly sliced celery (save green celery leaves for later), and sliced onion in the rendered salt pork and bacon until onions take on color, adding minced garlic during the final few minutes of browning. Add clam liquor or water, scraping browned onion bits from bottom of pan. Add 2 whole bay leaves and a pinch of celery seed, if desired. Add minced green onions or leeks. Simmer for 15 minutes.





    Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into one inch cubes. Add to the pot, bring to a boil for 30 seconds, reduce heat to barely a simmer.





    Chowder may be thickened with a small amount of all purpose flour, Wondra flour, or a few tablespoons corn starch stirred into a cup of cold broth. When adding thickeners, be sure to allow at least 30 minutes of cooking time in order to prevent an uncooked flour taste. More thickener can be added if you like a thicker chowder base; remember that milk/cream are still to be added later, so add more than you think you'll need to compensate.





    After 20-30 minutes, check potatoes to see if they are tender. When potatoes are nearly done, add frozen corn. Be sure to use a good quality of frozen corn; the sweeter varieties improve the overall flavor of the chowder.





    Stir in clams and strained clam liquor (be careful not to pour in the bottom of the clam liquor which usually contains sand! Add milk and cream in the ratio you desire; for a richer chowder, add more cream and less milk.





    Simmer for another 15 minutes and add remaining butter, minced parsley, chopped green celery leaves and salt and pepper, to taste. Remove bay leaves (or simply don't let them make it into a serving!).





    When butter has melted and clams are heated through, serve in warmed bowls, sprinkled with paprika and garnished with fresh parsley. Milk crackers are a traditional accompaniment.





    Variations: To add additional flavor to this soup, especially when clam broth is not available, use a few teaspoons of clam base, available at restaurant supply stores. Large chunks of white fish or lobster can be added during the last 20 minutes in addition to (or as a substitute for) the clams, for a seafood chowder.

    NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER








    Ingredients needed:





    * 10 pounds small quahogs or large cherrystone clams, scrubbed and rinsed, open clams discarded


    * 6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch strips


    * 4 tablespoons unsalted butter


    * 2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise (2 1/2 to 3 cups)


    * 1 cup finely chopped onions


    * 1 cup finely chopped celery


    * 2 teaspoons minced garlic


    * 6 sprigs fresh thyme


    * 2 bay leaves


    * 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 5 cups)


    * 2 cups heavy cream


    * 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


    * 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste


    * 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into half-tablespoon pieces


    * 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley


    * 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives or green onions








    In a large stockpot bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the clams, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pot and quickly stir the clams with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer (this will depend on the type and size of the clams), or until most of the clams are open.





    Transfer the clams to a large bowl or baking dish and strain the broth twice through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, being careful to strain out the sand. (You should have about 8 cups of clam broth. If not, add enough water to bring the volume up to 8 cups.) When the clams are cool enough to handle, remove them from their shells and chop into 1/2-inch pieces. Set the clams and broth aside.





    Cook the bacon in a large heavy pot over medium heat until crisp and the fat is rendered. Pour off all the bacon fat except 2 tablespoons. Add the 4 tablespoons butter, leeks, onions, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves and cook until the vegetables are thoroughly wilted, about 3 minutes, being careful not to brown. Add the potatoes and reserved clam broth and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the broth thickens slightly and the potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. (If you like a thicker broth, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon.) Remove from the heat, stir in the clams and cream, and season with the pepper and the salt to taste.





    Set the chowder aside for 1 hour, covered, to allow the flavors to marry. Place the pot over low heat and slowly reheat, being careful not to let boil. Serve hot; garnish each bowl with a pat of butter and some parsley and chives.

    MY FAVE HAS TO BE-----





    Spicy parsnip. Hope you,like it!





    This is another cheap and healthy soup, which is filling and flavoursome. It is very easy and quick to prepare and can be frozen easily. It's also healthy and organic. It is one of those meals that's definitely worth making when your local greengrocer / supermarket / garden has over-bought parsnips. This recipe serves two and should be complimented with a delicious fresh crusty organic bread.





    Ingredients


    1 Medium potato (peeled and chopped)


    225g Fresh parsnip (peeled and sliced)


    350mls Stock (use chicken or vegetable)


    1 Onion (finely chopped)


    ¼ tsp Ground coriander


    ¼ tsp Ground cumin


    ¼ tsp Turmeric


    Place all the ingredients into a saucepan, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.


    Allow to cool slightly, then liquidise. If you don't have a liquidiser use a potato masher, if the consistency needs to be finer, push the mashed soup through a sieve with the back of a wooden spoon.


    Serve hot with fresh crusty bread.Does anybody have interesting recipes for hot and spicy soup?

    malaysian soup is just as great since their culture is colourful.

    You could try a lovely warming spicy Korean soup. It is vegetarian, but you can add seafood or meat if you want.





    You need a couple pastes from a Korean store, doenjang and gochujang which may also be available at other Asian stores.





    ***N.B. These amounts are quite rough guesses because I don't follow a recipe myself, so I recommend just adding the paste gradually to taste, also depending on how much heat you can take. ***





    1 courgette (zucchini),1 cm thick slices then halved


    1 potato, peeled and cubed


    about 6 mushrooms, shiitake or any others if not available, sliced


    2 spring onions (scallions), or substitute leeks by peeling off a few layers of leek, shredded lengthwise


    one block of tofu, cubed


    2 or 3 cloves of garlic


    dash of oil


    Doenjang - Korean soy bean paste (kind of similar to Miso)


    Gochujang- Korean red chilli paste





    1. Put a few pints of water in the kettle to boil. Pre-cook the potatoes by boiling them or zapping them in the microwave.





    2. Heat oil in a big pan on a medium-low heat and add the garlic, Sautee for a few seconds only.





    3. Add the courgette (zucchini), mushrooms, potato, spring onion (scallions) or leek and cook while stirring until lightly braised, should be about 2 minutes max. Don't overcook the vegetebles at this point, just soften them up a bit.





    4. Next add about 2 pints of boiling water, and about one large tablespoon of the doenjang bean paste and a bit less of the gochujang. Also add about one teaspoon of stock granules.





    5. Add the tofu and stir well. Taste and add more paste if needed.





    6. Put the lid on and heat through for about five to ten minutes.





    Serve with a bowl of rice, and maybe kimchi if you like it :-D
    3 red peppers, two onions, garlic and red chili's. Saute in butter add 2 pints of chicken stock, simmer and add hot chili sauce to taste.

    1 simple rule. Make your favourate soup, then fill it with chilli powder! 2nd thought, don't take cooking advice off me. I got a D in my Food Tech test!
    This is really simple, but might come across gross to you depending on your taste, but it's fast and low fat.





    I take a canned veggie soup and put in chili powder and red pepper flakes and some coconut oil with some MORE frozen veggies to make it more filling. Sometimes I add my favorite hot sauce to kick it up a notch.
    Roast sweet potatoes and butternut squash (+/- carrot) then blend with some vegetable stock to thin it out. Alternatively just chuck them all in a stock pot with the stock and bake in the oven for a couple of hours. Add some powedered cumin to taste. Add a big splodge of creme fraiche and fresh ground black pepper and serve with Irish wheaten bread YUM!
    Chinese Hot %26amp; Sour soup, Veggie friendly version





    Serves 6





    Ingredients


    4 dried shiitake (black) mushrooms


    I dried wood ear


    120 grams hard tofu, julienned


    2 teaspoons cornstarch


    300 grams soft tofu, cut into 1 cm cubes


    2 TBSP miso paste


    1 TBSP Vegemite or Marmite


    7 cups vegetable stock


    3 large slices of ginger


    1/2 cup carrots, julienned


    1/2 cup bamboo shoots, julienned


    1/2 cup white rice vinegar (cheap plain white vinegar also works OK.)


    3 tablespoons soy sauce


    11/2 teaspoons chilli sauce


    31/2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed in a small amount of water


    1 egg white


    4 spring onions (green onions), finely chopped





    Method





    1. Soak mushrooms and wood ear in water until soft (about 20 minutes).


    2. Cut up soft tofu, carrot, and bamboo shoots.


    3. Slice hard tofu into very thin strips (julienne). Put in a bowl and add the 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Mix well and let stand.


    4. Trim the mushrooms and wood ear stems and slice thinly.


    5. Place stock in a large pot and bring to boil, Add mushrooms, wood ear and ginger. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove ginger.


    6. Add tofu, miso, carrots, and bamboo shoots. Cook for 2 minutes, before adding vinegar, soy sauce, Vegemite/marmite and chilli sauce. Cook for further 5 minutes.


    7. Mix in the cornstarch to thicken soup. Turn off heat. Add egg white and stir gently.


    8. Garnish with spring onions.





    Notes:


    This dish involves quite a bit of preparation, but is cooked in under 20 minutes. Unlike many hot and sour soups, this one does not use pepper or meat, instead relying on Marmite/Vegemite and a fine balance of vinegar and a chilli to achieve the hot and sour effect. Leftovers taste fine after a few days in the fridge, but do not freeze.

  • Anybody know any good, tasty vegetarian soup recipes?

    The question says it all :]Anybody know any good, tasty vegetarian soup recipes?
    Not really. I don't know what kind of soup you want. Thick? Thin? Chunky? Smooth?





    Easiest soup ever:


    Saute a chopped onion in olive oil (or some other fat) over medium-low heat until it starts to get soft. Add a couple of cloves of pressed/minced garlic and stir around some more. You want it soft and smelling great but not brown. If you're going to make carrot and/or squash soup, toss in some chopped peeled ginger with the garlic.





    Add some chopped, peeled veggies. Carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash... whatever. Immediately cover with hot veggie stock or with water. Bring the heat up until it starts bubbling, then turn it down and cover it. Forget about it mostly. Just stir it now and then, adding more stock or water if it looks like it's going dry. Periodically try to squish some of the veggies with your spoon. Once they're really soft, take the pan off the stove and remove the lid. Put it (solids and liquids) through a blender along with some fresh herbs. Mint is great with carrots.





    Return it to the pot and add more liquid if you want a thinner soup. (At this point, you can add milk/cream or dairy alternative if you'd like, just don't let it boil if you do.) Season (salt, miso, tamari, more herbs, pepper, more fat... up to you).





    Ta-da! Easy soup!





    I recently make fake chicken soup. I had a huge pot of veggie stock that I'd made, so I sauteed a shallot, an onion, a few leeks, some carrots, some celery, and some garlic in canola oil (I wanted a vegan soup or I would've used butter). Once I had everything in there, I added all of the stock and simmered it until it was how I wanted it. It just needed salt and pepper (I'd used a lot of herbs in the stock). I'm going to toss in some pasta when I re-heat it for noodley soup.Anybody know any good, tasty vegetarian soup recipes?

    Example:


    - Dice up one onion, 2 cloves garlic and one bell pepper fry till soft in a little oid, add to soup pot 1/2 full of gently boiling water.


    - Dice up any veggies you have and add to the pot.


    - Dice up a potato and add that to the pot too.


    - After about 40 minutes add one 16oz can of diced tomatoes, season to taste, and cook a bit longer.

    In a large saucepan, saute the curry powder and onion in butter 'til the onion browns. Deglaze the pot with the broth/water, and add the carrots. Simmer the carrots until soft. Taste the broth, and if it needs more, add curry powder to taste.





    Remove from heat and place everything into the blender, with the cream/yogurt and lemon juice. Puree til soft. If you want, add salt, pepper, and a drizzle of honey if at the end, to taste.





    It's delicious with thick slices of whole wheat bread.
    My favorite is tomato, and I did my spin on it.





    Put water into a pan and start cooking,


    Add cut carrots, cellery, root of a parsley


    I add Vegeta (it's a powder with dried veggies) 1 spoon


    Let it cook until it starts boiling and then add cup of wild rice (usually cooks in about 20 minutes)


    Let it cook for 10 minutes and add 2-3 cups of frozen shelled edamame and cook until the rice is ready


    Then add 1 can of tomato paste and add some pepper and salt and let it boiled for a minute





    That's it.
