Forest Mushroom Bisque

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:24:31 -0400

Canlis, Seattle, Washington. Bisques are creamy, rich soups based on a flavorful puree. The foundation of this one is a generous amount of fall's wild mushrooms, one of the more prized culinary treats each year in the Northwest. At Canlis, the chefs often use chanterelles, hedgehog mushrooms, or morels when they're in season, though the bisque is also delicious made with cultivated varieties such as shiitake mushrooms. The flavor and texture of the bisque will vary with the type (or types) you choose to use. It's made extra-rich with heavy cream at the restaurant, but you could lighten the bisque a touch by using half-and-half instead. Source: The Best Northwest Places Cookbook (Volume 2), Cynthia C. Nims. -- posted by lazyme

Sarasota's Broccoli, Zucchini and Potato Soup

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:14:25 -0400

A few things to chop, but well worth the taste. Fresh flavors, rich, but no cream. Herbs and fresh vegetables give this all it needs. The cheese and potatoes gives it a little creamy texture and then I love to finish it topped with a roasted tomato in bread crumbs. It just seems to make it perfect. A nice slice of fresh bread, any kind you have. Some good bread sticks would be wonderful. Now I like to make my own, but honestly I don't always have time. A nice short cut ... Pillsbury bread sticks, but make a mix of melted butter, garlic, dried Italian seasoning and brush after you twist them up. Then sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. If you bake these on parchment paper or foil sprayed with Pam ... no clean up. They are easy quick and simple. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Tomato Bisque

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:34:47 -0400

A decadent bisque from the Sugar Hill Inn, in Franconia, New Hampshire. Found in the Old Farmer's Almanac recipe postings. I do believe this will hit the spot come some cold Saturday in January when lazing around inside making a big pot of something delicious is just the right thing to do. Will be making with our very own home canned tomatoes.Will likely pass on the "fresh" tomato in the dead of winter - they just are not worth the expense. If you keep bacon grease (we do in a small covered can) it seems you can skip the bacon frying step & just proceed with the next step - unless you want to add the bacon in with the tomatoes (sounding mighty good). -- posted by Buster's friend

Tomato and Apple Soup (Dairy Free Gluten Free)

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:43:50 -0400

This is a really delicious soup that I got from the Gluten Free Club. It didn't give the servings, but I doubled it and it filled my standard soup pot, so I'm figuring 5 (1 cup) servings for the regular recipe. I adjusted the recipe a bit to add a little more seasoning. You could make it "cream" of tomato by adding cooked cauliflower in before pureeing. I also seeded the tomatoes after skinning (so I didn't have to sieve it). -- posted by WI Cheesehead

For an everyday meal, omit the puff pastry dome. The recipe was printed in "Soup's On!: 75 Soul-Satisfying Recipes from Your Favorite Chefs". Start this recipe in advance as the soup must cool fully before baking. For a little extra oomph, you can add 2 tablespoons of sherry to the soup. -- posted by blucoat

Yummy Potato Soup

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:23:10 -0400

This is more of a recipe I came across and tweaked to give it an even better flavor than before. It's similar to loaded baked potato soup, except that I don't care for sour cream or chives so I personally do not add them. However, if you would like to make it that way, I recommend a fourth cup of sour cream added in and about a fourth a cup of chives. You can tweak the amounts of those as well, based on how you liked your baked potatoes, but those amounts should give a good even flavor of everything. Please feel free to experiment with the amounts of seasonings if you'd like, but the ones provided should make it just right. I tried to write this so that even the most novice cook would have no troubles, so if you're more experienced please excuse me for pointing out the obvious at times in the directions :) -- posted by Cypress

Butternut Squash Soup

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:46:18 -0400

This is a simple soup recipe that uses the same basics for a cream vegetable soup. You can substitute any squash in the recipe and works well for acorn squash. It is a great soup to have by the fire on a cool fall night to warm the soul. It could be a main dish with a green salad and crusty bread or as a starter to a roast chicken dinner as an example. This would make a perfect Thanksgiving soup. See bottom suggestion of using pumpkin and maple syrup as an alternative. -- posted by GreyhoundX3

Hearty and Quick Butternut Squash Soup

Creamy, thick, hearty and delicious. I was skeptical about whether my family would like this, but I needed a hearty meal in a hurry and we had an unexpected guest. I had left over roasted butternut squash and had just read some squash soup recipes in a magazine. All of their recipes sounded too sweet for my taste, and I didn't have a lot of the ingredients, so I made up my own. Everyone, even my meat-and-potatoes husband loved it.

Growing up in Scotland this soup was a favorite of mine. Over the years I have adapted it to suit my tastes. This is the full fat creamy version I use for Xmas and Thanksgiving a true treat for the holidays! But it is very easy to adapt it by using milk or half& half instead of creme fraiche, which I do at other times of the year.This freezes well, I reheat and add creme fraiche just before serving. There are creme fraiche recipes on this site the one identical to mine is Judi Caston's #34037. The servings are for holiday meals, if only for a dinner it serves about 4-6 -- posted by mrs mack

Roasted Beet and Potato Soup

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:45:06 -0400

I recently roasted five pounds of beets and have been using them for side dishes. I decided to make soup last night, and it turned out quite nice. You may get more servings, but we really like our soup and 4 servings is all I got. I am sure that canned beets would also work quite well. I like evaporated milk because it brings richness with fewer calories, but half-and-half would also be good. I don't usually have fresh celery, but 1/2 cup of chopped celery could be used instead of the flakes and 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper instead of the peppercorns. Add an hour to the cooking time if you need to roast fresh beets. -- posted by duonyte

Layered Corn, Black Bean and Chorizo Chowder

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:51:55 -0400

Yes layered soup, well that was their name ... "Creamy Corn, Chorizo and Bean Tortilla Chowder." It was at a small little Mexican restaurant in Taos, NM, about 10 years ago and it was amazing. The table next to me ordered it and it looked so interesting I had to try it. The soup was topped with small piles of the chorizo, avocado and olives, and cheese on top this beautiful creamy pale yellow corn chowder and then they took a bite and the bottom layer of the soup was black beans. It was picture perfect served in this big wide rimmed white bowl, it was almost to pretty to eat. Well it incorporates a spicy layer of black beans, onions and roasted jalapenos, topped with a perfect creamy corn chowder and then topped with small piles of the chorizzo, diced avocados with olives and a pepper jack cheese. A squeeze of lime and cilantro. Take advantage of cooking the chorizo, black beans and chowder well ahead of time so when it comes time to serve ... just reheat and plate up. I serve this with my chicken enchiladas with a red sauce. This is a great dish for friends or just family and it is really simple. Make some margaritas and time for party. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Fall Harvest Smoothie

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:42:24 -0400

This recipe tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass! You will never know it is packed with veggies and fruits and "good for you stuff". Top with a little fat free whip cream for an extra-special desert. My teen-age daughter begs for this and sometimes we even heat it up for a thick soup. The key to this recipe is to make sure you use a blender/smoothie maker that has enough power to completely puree alll the ingredients; otherwise the squash will stay stringy. -- posted by RackeSRN

Cream of Potato Soup

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:57:58 -0400

This soup isn't like the potato soups you find in resturaunts. This is an old fashioned Cream of Potato soup. I got the orignal recipe in home ec. in high school. This soup is thick and hearty. Perfect for cold days or when you just want some comfort food. I've given alternate measurements for a smaller portion at the bottom of the recipe along with tips to make thinner and/or chunkier. -- posted by ~Sherry~

Butternut Squash Soup

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:55:42 -0400

This recipe came from the Culinary Arts Cookbook and it's very easy to make and delicious! The honey and cinnamon bring out the sweetness of the squash. This soup will impress your friends and family! I have tried other squashes with this soup and it's not as good, so stick with butternut. Enjoy! -- posted by Lisa Clarice

I just love Butternut Squash! This soup is so creamy and satisfying, definitely a staple in our home for the colder months. Just warm some crusty bread and add a salad (we love it with the Pear Gorgonzola Salad #397001) and it's a meal! Enjoy -- posted by Munkee's Mom

Thai Butternut Squash and Corn Bisque

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:02:54 -0500

Ready to shake up the Thanksgiving standards? This is a great way to do it: posted in Barbara Fisher's blog, Tigers and Strawberries (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/). The flavors of this soup are amazingit is somewhere between the tangy-spicy herbal flavor of Tom Kha Gai and the best butternut squash or sweet potato soup you have ever had with a little Thai curry mixed in for fun. It is spicy, sweet, tangy and rich all at the same time without being heavy or overly filling. And it's vegan. How can it be velvety smooth without much in the way of rich coconut milk and absolutely no cream? It was the addition of the potato that does it. This is a trick she learned when she was cooking for vegan clients as a personal chef. A good creamy boiling potato like a Red Bliss or Yukon Gold will thicken soups and make them velvety smooth if they are pureed, all without adding fat or any dairy products at all. -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Light Cream of Tomato and Pumpkin Soup

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:53:36 -0500

tastes like summer but warms you through in the middle of winter when there's precious little fresh veggies to be had. this is just a general outline. would lend itself well to substitutions like more milk or evaporated milk, spaghetti squash instead of pumpkin, change the spices, add more veggies, even brown rice maybe -- posted by spiritussancto

Curried Roasted Squash Soup

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:02:41 -0500

I love winter squash. I've made this recipe with Delicata, Sweet Dumpling, Butternut, and/or Kabocha squash. You need to adjust the amount of broth according to the juiciness of the squash. I've also mashed the squash with just a little broth and some yogurt to serve as a side dish. From Sunset Magazine. -- posted by CaliCook

Spicy Pumpkin-Carrot Cream Soup

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:40:02 -0500

The silky smooth texture and rich taste, in combination with the slightly crunchy bacon really took me by surprise. Very loosely based on a recipe for carrot soup. It takes a while to prepare, but it's not difficult or stressfull, and very rewarding. -- posted by JasperJ

Roasted Butternut Squash and Leek Soup

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:14:23 -0500

This is my adaptation of several squash recipes I've seen. This is a great recipe for a first course of dinner, lunch or snack. It can be prepared up to 2 days ahead of time (bring to work!). Reheat refrigerated soup before adding garnish. For vegan option, use Vegetable stock rather than chicken stock, substitute olive oil for the butter and omit the cream. Make sure to use a vegan wine as well. -- posted by Austin Vegas

Spiced Pumpkin Soup

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:44:04 -0500

Grade B maple syrup is preferred for this recipe; it has a richer flavor and is not as highly filtered as Grade A. The mini pumpkins can be roasted several hours ahead. Place the roasted pumpkins in a 250-degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes to warm them before filling. -- posted by Karen in OC

Cream of Parsnip Soup With Crisp-Fried Pancetta

from the LA Times For vegetarians, you can substitute crisp-fried shallots: slice shallots thinly, dust them lightly with flour and then deep-fry them until they are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let them scorch. Season with salt before serving. -- posted by Karen in OC

Butternut Squash Soup Using Skim Milk & Tomato Soup

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:01:51 -0500

I didn't have a recipe and just threw together a few items I had on hand to to make this quick soup. I used leftover butternut squash from the night before and a can of tomato soup. Tasted pretty good, especially with a grilled cheese sandwich! I'll try to get the amounts right so it can be replicated. -- posted by Becca's Suwanee Kitchen
