Tasty, Meat and Condiments Free Vegetable Soup!

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:31:23 -0500

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. In that case you can add pepper/salt/soy sauce/meat/stock but this is for the health conscious who don't mind fresh tasting vegetable soup that is not strongly-flavoured. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1531879

This recipe was just something my friend made up for a get together. 4 out of 5 kids LOVED it!!! I made it at home it was a hit again! I used ground turkey in my dish, as we don't buy beef, but the original was made with beef. I imagine Soy crumbles will be just as yummy! You can use any pasta you have on hand. The pepperoni and cheese is really added bonuses so you can use as little or as much as you like. -- posted by adymommy

Taiwanese Spaghetti

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:26:45 -0500

I recently started dabbling in Taiwanese cuisine and came across this recipe that is commonly made in Taiwan, comparable to the American spaghetti and meatballs made for children here in the States. It's considered a comfort food, served on either rice or Japanese somen noodles. It has a sweet taste to it so children like it, and you can make it with or without tofu. It is also traditionally served with sliced cucumber, but I have found that it doesn't make that much of a different to the food. It is usually made with ground pork, but I avoid pork so I have only had it using turkey. I imagine it probably tastes just as good with ground beef as well. I will post my somen noodle sauce recipe soon, too - it tastes much better than plain somen noodles. -- posted by Fluffkins

Chicken " Soup " Risotto Style!

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:25:58 -0500

Chicken Risotto. A yummy creamy ( as in texture but has no cream ) chicken, rice and veggie concoction I made last night for dinner. However, I used sushi rice instead of the typical italian arborio- but it absorbs just as much!! Good stuff. As for taste...think of your favorite chicken soup recipe...but risotto syle. If you use arborio rice you may need to increase liquid and cooking time...it takes a little longer to cook than sushi rice (approx. 5-10 mins..) read the instructions on your package of arborio rice to get an idea. -- posted by Amy Duchesne

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:03:52 -0500

There is usually just enough flavorful liquid in the final dish to prompt me to eat this with a spoon.

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

I adapted my chicken fricassee recipe to use up post-Thanksgiving leftovers. If you want to make the chicken version, simply exchange cooked chicken for the cooked turkey. -- posted by Cactuscat

Tuna Casserole

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:00:25 -0500

I dont make many dishes that use condensed canned soup as a base. Im not judging, I know that many a good casserole gets thrown together using cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or cream of chicken soup. I just didnt grow up eating many of those casseroles. In fact, tuna noodle is the only casserole I remember eating as a kid, other than mac and cheese. As I learn more about cooking, I find that I generally prefer creating things from scratch, using whole ingredients rather than processed ones. But certainly not always! -- posted by P ROD
