Has anyone got an easy soup recipes?

Easy soup recipes needed. I'm getting tired of tomato or vegtable. ThanksHas anyone got an easy soup recipes?
SPAGHETTI %26amp; MEATBALL SOUP-


Chicken stock, tomato sauce (chunky is best....homemade or jarred), ground turkey or chicken, spaghetti, 1 small onion, chopped or grated garlic to taste 2 carrots and 1 celery stock, hard cheese such as Parm or Romano, basil, parsley, salt %26amp; pepper to taste.





For the meatballs mix 1 pound ground turkey or chicken, 1/2 cup of Parm or Romano cheese, 1/2 cup bread crumbs (seasoned or not), salt %26amp; pepper to taste and an egg and mix together well. Unlike meatloaf, which you don't want to over mix and make tough, I mix meatballs more so to make them firm to hold up better.





In a large stock pot saute onions until they start to sweat and then add chopped carrots, celery, garlic and any other veggies you may want to add (I like to throw in some chopped zucchini). Cook a few minutes and then add a quart or 2 of chicken stock and about 3-4 cups of pasta sauce and some diced or chopped tomatoes if desired and let simmer about 10 minutes or until veggies are just tender. Add meatballs and let simmer another 10 minutes. Add 1/2 pound of spaghetti broken in 1/2 to pot and cook until done.





This recipe can be altered any way you want. The possibilities are only limited to your imagination. I make this soup often and it is so easy %26amp; quick! I usually doube the batch for easy eating throughout the week.Has anyone got an easy soup recipes?
Vegetable Barley Soup





Cooks in about an hour and tastes great.





1/2 pound ground beef


1/2 cup EACH chopped onions, celery and carrots


1 - 2 cloves garlic minced


1/2 cup barley


1 - 15 oz can whole tomatoes - No Salt variety - chopped (w/juice)


1 bay leaf


1/2 teaspoon basil


1/2 teaspoon pepper


1 - 2 cubes beef bouillon


1 - 10 oz package frozen mixed vegetables


8 cups of water





brown beef in large pot, add onions and saute until clear, add everything BUT the frozen veggies, bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cover, cook for 55 minutes, add frozen veggies, salt to taste - cook another 10 - 15 minutes until veggies are done. Serve with crusty bread.





You don't salt until the end because the barley puffs up and doesn't cook right.





Enjoy
Easy soup recipe?





Prepare instant rice (Like minute rice) with a cream of whatever soup prepared instead of water. (Like 1 can condensed soup, 1 can milk, 1 can instant rice) add Drained tuna and a drained can of peas and you've got a full meal. It's really tasty, too.





Word of warning, though. you MUST use instant rice. Regular rice just won't work.

Creamy Carrot and Parsnip Soup





This is my all time favorite I hope you try it:

450g (15oz) carrots, peeled and chopped


2 large parsnips, peeled and chopped

125ml (4fl oz) single cream


Salt and ground black pepper


Sprigs of fresh coriander, to garnish





1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3 mins, until slightly softened. Add the carrots and parsnips. Cover the pan until the vegetables have softened a little. Stir in the ginger, orange rind and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 30-35 mins, until the vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat and cool for 10 mins.


2. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth. Return the soup to the rinsed-out saucepan, stir in the cream, and season well with salt and pepper. Warm through gently over a low heat.

Asparagus Soup





1. Ingredients2 1/2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, coarsely grated


1 cup heavy cream


1/2 cup whole milk


1 whole large egg


2 large egg yolks


1/8 teaspoon salt


Pinch of white pepper


1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped


1/2 cup finely chopped shallot


1/4 teaspoon black pepper


3/4 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons unsalted butter


3 1/2 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces


3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth


1 1/2 cups water


1/4 cup heavy cream


Parmigiano-Reggiano curls, shaved from a wedge with a vegetable peeler


2. Cooking Directions


Make custards: Bring cheese, cream, and milk just to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and steep, covered, 30 minutes.


Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.


Pour steeped cream through a very fine sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on cheese solids and discarding them. Whisk together whole egg, yolks, salt, and white pepper in another bowl, then add steeped cream in a stream, whisking until smooth. Divide among well-buttered ramekins.


Set ramekins in a baking pan and bake in a hot water bath in middle of oven until centers of custards are completely set, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer ramekins to a rack and cool 5 minutes (do not allow to cool longer, or custards will stick to ramekins).


Make soup while cream steeps and custards bake: Wash chopped leek in a bowl of cold water, then lift out and drain well. Cook leek, shallot, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in butter in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring, until leek is softened, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus, broth, and water and simmer, covered, until asparagus is just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. After 2 to 4 minutes, remove 6 asparagus tips, halve lengthwise and reserve for garnish.


Puree soup in batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Transfer to a large bowl, then pour through a sieve into cleaned pot. Stir in cream, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and heat over moderately low heat until hot.


Serve soup with custards: Working with 1 custard at a time, run a thin knife around edge of each to loosen it, then invert a soup bowl over ramekin and invert custard into bowl. Repeat with remaining custards. Ladle soup around custards and garnish with reserved asparagus tips and parmesan curls.
