Chicken Noodle Soup over Mashed Potatoes

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:11:10 -0500

If you haven't tried chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes, I am sorry! You will never go back. It makes a creamy, delicious meal. I always make my recipe #407601 they really make a difference in the soup, 1 1/2 this recipe as you need more noodles. I also use recipe#404067 for the potatoes, cut back a bit on the butter and milk when using in soup because all the liquid already gives it great flavor. Enjoy! -- posted by Rollin in the Dough!

This is easy and a great dessert or afternoon treat just for you! I like Fujis so I use those, but I'm sure that your favorite will work too. If Bourbon isn't for you, or these are for the kiddies, try using one of Torani's wonderful flavored syrups (Non-alcohol, or even a little maple syrup would do the trick!

Christmas Keeping Cake (Fruitcake-Like, Less Fruit)

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:35:41 -0500

From "Celebrating Christmas," by Pamela Westland. Made it last Christmas, 2009--delicious, and not too "fruity." People who don't like fruitcake loved it. It has the most delicious scent when you unwrap it, that remains until the last slice is eaten. I believe it took mine no more than 2 hours to bake. Keep an eye on it, so the cake won't dry. -- posted by MillaKette

From koreanrecipes.org.If spicy is not your thing,don't boil it for that long.Just a little simmer to get it just the way you like it.Koreans eat very spicy food so I'm not surprised by boiling it for 25-30 minutes.Even though I love hot food,for me even the 15 minutes was too much.I suggest to taste it and turn off the heat when is suites your taste. -- posted by littlemafia

My take on Panera Bread's Broccoli & Cheddar Soup...it's really close, except for the carrot bits!

Buche De Noel / Yule Log Cake

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:31:10 -0500

A traditional dessert served during the Christmas holidays in France, Belgium, Quebec, Lebanon and several other Christian-populated francophone countries as well as in the UK. As the name indicates, the cake is generally prepared, presented, and garnished so as to look like a log ready for the fire. The traditional bûche is made from a Génoise or other sponge cake, generally baked in a large, shallow Swiss roll pan, frosted, rolled to form a cylinder, and frosted again on the outside. The most common combination is a basic yellow sponge cake, frosted and filled with chocolate buttercream; however, many variations on the traditional recipe exist, possibly including chocolate cakes, ganache and espresso or otherwise-flavored frostings and fillings. Bûches are often served with a portion of one end of the cake cut off and set on top of the cake or protruding from its side to resemble a chopped off branch, and bark-like texture is often produced in the buttercream for further realism. These cakes are often decorated with powdered sugar to resemble snow, tree branches, fresh berries, and mushrooms made of meringue. -- posted by Shesbittersweet

Crockpot White Chili

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 22:05:43 -0500

This recipe comes from the book: "Make It Fast, Cook It Slow" by Stephanie O'Dea. It is a very tasty, not too hot chili that is just right for these cold winter days. I added little cubes (less than 1/2-inch) of 3 uncooked chicken breasts to this chili about half way through the cooking for a little more protein, as though it needs it. It didn't hurt one bit! The author says this is a soupy chili but I did not find it so. It has great flavor. She cautions that the beans sink while the corn floats. So you need to dig down to the bottom of the bowl to make sure you get beans in every bite. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Boeuf Aux Carottes (Beef Stewed With Carrots)

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:49:55 -0500

A classic French peasant dish, the long slow stewing with carrots and pearl onions gives the meat an unexpected sweetness. Stew beef would be traditional and may be substituted, but the short ribs give it an additional unctuousness from their gelatin. Bone-in is preferable, but the nutrition information comes up wrong, so I listed the boneless first. (This could also be adapted for the crockpot - brown the meat, deglaze with the wine, then combine with the veg, spices and stock in the slow cooker. Cook on low 6 hours, then add carrot coins and cook another 2 hours.) Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://bit.ly/6W1Cqn -- posted by DrGaellon

Glazed Gammon / Ham With Yellow Split Pea Puree

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:45:07 -0500

The split peas turn into a flavoursome pease pudding, and the ham is the best ever! I've adapted this from a book called 'The Ultimate Slow Cooker' (ie. crock pot) Use honey for the glaze if you haven't got maple syrup. Timing excludes soaking There's no reason why you couldn't make this in a pressure cooker or saucepan. -- posted by Tina and Dave

This is a very yummy soup! It's great for a cold weather warm-you-up, delecious as s meal beginner, or wonderful as a one pot meal! I sometimes use regular bacon in place of the Canadian bacon just to change it up sometimes. I forgot to measure how much soup I got but I know I froze several quarts. The amount will be a "guestimation". -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Split Pea Soup With Spareribs

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 21:49:22 -0500

I first had this at my aunt and uncle's, had never heard of split pea soup with anything other than ham in it. Loved this, I definitely prefer spareribs to ham in this soup! Boiling the ribs in the soup and then letting it simmer for hours leaves the meat more tender than the crockpot! As written, it was a bit bland for our tastes, we added an extra tsp of the hickory salt and will try adding more peppercorns next time (I couldn't even taste the pepper this time). I added one tsp of pepper to the leftovers and that seemed to help. -- posted by The Wallaces

Vegetable Soup! If you took away the egg which I myself forgot to add in anyway, it would even be vegetarian and vegan. Completely healthy without the need to add ANY condiments at all, unless you need a stronger taste.

Bread Pudding Ummm . . . Best Ever

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:00 -0500

I had never had Bread Pudding before I went to Vegas and had it at a buffet. Well, I fell in love. My obsession use to be chocolate, but since I've lost 52 lbs. I gave it up. NOW, my obsession has become THIS version of Bread Pudding. ( I have to be careful how much of this I make, so I don't gain all of that chocolate weight back!) I found this recipe on the "Momswhothink.com" website and I hope it is ok to post it here. This is true comfort food. Do not over bake or you will lose the eggy texture of the bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are the key ingredients to the rich flavor of this dessert. I use french bread, and have even used dry bread that has been sitting around a few days. I even used wheat french bread once and it turned out great! The sauce is more a vanilla, butter, cream sauce. I usually make about 4 times (yes, that is what I said!) in order to smother the bread pudding. One recipe of it is just not enough. Ummm. Make the sauce while the pudding is baking and you will save time. You can also use a Hard Sauce if you would rather. (recipe # 102574 sounds like a good one.) Even if you have never tried Bread Pudding, be daring, and try it. I use to turn my nose up at it, and now, I cannot wait for an excuse to make it, again and again. Enjoy! -- posted by terriers2

I would suggest testing your slow cooker to see if it cooks hot. Ours does, so 8 hours does it for optimal tenderness. My husband likes it served over plain egg noodles, but I prefer it by itself. -- posted by Chef #1249089

Bacon Cheeseburger Soup ( Paula Deen )

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:37:29 -0500

This recipe is from Cooking with Paula Deen magazine Nov/Dec 2009. This soup is warm and hearty. People of all ages loved it and it is a fast family supper. You can double it easily and freeze the second portion for later. It tastes more like a regular cheeseburger to me. I garnished mine with some cheddar cheese as well. Served with my Hamburger Bun Toasts recipe also from Paula Deen in that same issue that she used to accompany it. Hope you like it. Enjoy ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Hamburger Bun Toasts

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:51:37 -0500

This recipe is from Cooking with Paula Deen magazine Nov/Dec 2009. It is an accompaniment to Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe#411645 I posted, also by Paula Deen. These delicious cheese toasts have a nice zip with the mustard and worcestershire sauce along with a hearty helping of cheese. They are perfect dunkers for soup especially the soup above as you feel like with the two it is a burger on a bun. Easy to make and fast to make. Fun looking and unique. Enjoy!

Italian Orchard Acorn Squash

I thought this was a nice change from the usual butter/brown sugar/maple syrup thing. From an old Rodale cookbook; not tried, posted for safekeeping. Prep time includes a little extra time for the baked squash to cool a bit before completing the recipe. -- posted by coconutty

Corn Chowder With Chicken & Bacon

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:18:45 -0500

This is another custom twist on a recipe from my favorite cookbook. The original recipe is for Sopa de Elote, a sweet corn soup from Central America. I don't like vegetarian dishes and I don't like complicating recipes with too many fresh ingredients, so I simplified this and made it meaty. Consider adding 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or some diced jalapenos to change up the flavor. You can serve this with warm tortillas, cheese crisp, cheesy jalapeno bread, corn bread, whatever. I suggest garnishing with a tortilla strips, a shredded Mexican cheese blend, or even sour cream -- posted by Chef #1534395

Tri-Colour Stuffed Pepper Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:24:31 -0500

Take two frustrating attempts to make a different stuffed green pepper soup and a wonderful blizzardy day and you end up with a soup that mirrors a stuffed green pepper, exactly! There's nothing like dogged determination and lots of time to get something right. I wanted a rich sweet pepper soup that had the delicate flavour of tomatoes and the ability to bite into a meat/rice mixture, just like a real stuffed pepper. This recipe is two parts: first, the Porcupine Meatballs, which can be made a day or two ahead. Then, the Tri-Colour Pepper Soup, which is a stand alone soup that I've been making, and enjoying, for years. If you enjoy a lot of meat, you might want to double the meatball recipe; for our tastes, this is perfect, with 4-5 meatballs served in each bowl. The taste of this soup is quintessential 1950's style Stuffed Green Peppers. If you can tolerate more heat, then jazz it up to your hearts content! This way, you won't find the recipe "too bland", which is how we like it---pure comfort food straight from Leave It To Beaver. Enjoy the meatballs or enjoy the pepper soup, or, enjoy them blended together for the best of all worlds with this stuffed pepper soup! Using the three colours of peppers just adds some fun and depth to it. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef
