French Onion Soup

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:31:28 -0500

My personal recipe for French onion soup. Nothing out of the ordinary, but perfect for me. Makes a brothier soup than most recipes because that is my favorite part. The recipe lists 26 oz of beef stock. Don't worry about this being exact, that just happens to be how much comes in the carton I use- I like Swanson Beef Stock, but of course, homemade would be better. A couple of fluid ounces more or less would be absolutely fine. -- posted by Piaqua

Red Pepper Vichyssoise

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 23:31:30 -0500

This is a lovely soup to serve in the summertime, as it is served chilled. If you prefer, you can substitute sour cream for the creme fraiche. To make creme fraiche, just combine 1 cup of whipping cream with 2 tbsp of buttermilk. Once combined, cover and let stand at room temperature for 8 hours. This will make a cup of creme fraiche. Prep and cooking time does not include the chill time! -- posted by breezermom

Cheese & Butter Green Peas

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:47:42 -0500

Have kids who hate green peas? Well, everyone seems to have that problem! I randomly added cheese & butter to my green peas (despite being a lover of peas) and it tasted great! In fact, at the end of the day, I got more sick of the cheese than peas. Amount of cheese? One slice. (: This is even for the health-conscious...enjoy! For me, I can polish off the whole thing, but to be on the safe side serve this for two. (: You can do this for just about any vegetable, in particular non-leafy ones like carrots & peas. -- posted by Chef #1531879

Monday Supper! Curried Lamb and Chutney Rissoles/Patties

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:13:25 -0500

A tasty and different way to use some of the Sunday Roast leftovers on Monday! Although I have specified lamb in this recipe, beef would also work very well, it's just that I had roast lamb leftovers when I made these. These rissoles are lightly spiced and tangy - perfect for supper when served with salad, pickles, chutneys and maybe a naan bread or pitta bread to make a sandwich. They are easily made and can be prepared ahead of time and left in the fridge, as they hold their shape better when they have been chilled and are firm. These will also freeze very well; open freeze them before frying on a tray or plate until firm and then pack them into freezer bags or a plastic container. They only need about 6 hours to defrost and then are cooked as instructed below.Use curry powder to taste, I use 2 teaspoons as I like mine quite spicy! -- posted by French Tart

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:36:45 -0500

I'm on a diet and I wanted use up some left overs in the freezer and make something that would fill me up. So why not make an original low cal chicken soup? So here's my chicken soup recipe. If you don't want to buy a bunch of different frozen vegetables just buy a quality mixed vegetable. It usually pretty close to the portions in this recipes. If you cook at a lower temperature add about 10 minutes to your cook time. -- posted by Erv Kosch

Chicken Pepper Pot Soup

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:16:52 -0500

I got this fabulous recipe when I vacationed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The soup was on the Boma - Flavors of Africa Buffet. When I inquired about a cookbook with the recipe, the waitress went & got the recipe from the kitchen. This is posted in the same manner I got it, but I'll tell you that finding 1 gallon containers of broth is difficult. So I use 10 14oz cans, it's a little more, but just as good. I also usually use 2 poblanos. Using ready to go chicken tenders is a big time saver. I just sautee them in a little sesame oil & garlic before I dice them. This soup is very tasty and borderline addicitive. I've made several times since I got back. It is absolutley delicious the next day and freezes well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -- posted by Tina & Angie

My Spiced Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, Carrot and Orange Soup

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:41:04 -0500

This was inspired by my other butternut squash soup recipe (#402703). The orange flavoring is optional. I use pre-cut, cubed squash when I can find it. You can also use a small fresh butternut squash. (The prep time assumes you are using pre-cut squash.) I use almond milk in this recipe (I like Almond Breeze) instead of cream or half and half. You can save a little time by roughly chopping the onion and garlic, because the soup will be pureed later. I do chop the ginger rather finely because it is so fibrous, and I don't want lumps in the soup that didn't get pureed. -- posted by coconutty

Best Lima Bean Soup - Especially Wintertime!

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:51:09 -0500

Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like. -- posted by Squire David

Menma - Braised Bamboo Shoots for Ramen Topping

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:09:01 -0500

I normally make this using whole refrigerated bamboo shoot that I can purchase in Japanese market nearby in California. If whole bamboo shoot is used, cut lengthwise into about 1/4 in slices first. Then cut into 1/4 inch slices. Finally cut the 1/4 inch slices into half. The slices do not need to be perfect - they will taste great when finished. You can also use canned bamboo as well (although taste will be not as good as the fresh version). Menma is granddaddy of one of ramen toppings. In old days if you ordered ramen in Tokyo this was always one of the toppings along with shoyu or soy sauce flavored soup. You can purchase this in a bottle commercially but the cost is quite high for a small bottle. I like to sometimes serve this as a snack for beer, white wine or sake. If served as snack, it is very good with sprinkling of roasted sesame seeds on top. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Grandma's Cream of Potato or Broccoli Soup

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:25:04 -0500

When I was a little girl, cold winter nights at my grandmothers always called for her wonderful potato soup. She would serve it with fresh hot cornbread or home made yeast rolls and it warmed you all the way to your toes. It always brings back memories of a wonderful woman who was a great influence in my life. I still miss her. Sometime she would add fresh broccoli, and it was also great. I misplaced this recipe once and searched the web over never finding another even close. Thankfully, I had given a copy to a friend and was able to get it back. -- posted by Chef #831701

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

This soup is a comfort for the cold weather and a sensation for your tastebuds. 26 of the cloves are roasted then peeled and 18 are not, so you get both flavors. The lemon wedge to season it in your bowl is an added touch that makes it perfect. can be made a day in advance. I also think a crockpot would work as well. The flavor is garlicky but subtle. -- posted by MarraMamba

The Easiest and Best Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

A friend of mine made this soup for a baby shower that I recently attended and everyone loved it! Fritos or tortilla strips and cheddar cheese are optional topping's as well as the sour cream. I like it the best with only sour cream which make it HEALTHY which is alway a major plus! You do not need to pre cook the chicken, just put it in raw OR frozen, which makes it super easy. For spicer soup, get the spicy RoTel tomatoes and/or Medium or Hot Tostitos Salsa but you will find that it has a lot of flavor and is quite spicy for not having to add any extra spices -- SO easy!! I like it the best with one jar of medium and one jar of mild tostitos salsa. -- posted by S.H.E.

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:23:57 -0500

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger. -- posted by Lee Hock

All Purpose Cole Slaw

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:27:30 -0500

This recipe was given to me by my Great Aunt. The reason I say all purpose is because this is always a side dish at Thanksgiving, and Easter and BBQ's and on Sandwiches etc. etc. It just goes well with a lot and if you love a sweet tasting Cole Slaw, this is definately one to try. The Green Bell Pepper is a must for the unique taste! I always have to double this recipe though for larger crowds! -- posted by D. Rose

Herbed Country Breakfast Potatoes

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:36:27 -0500

These are the country breakfast potatoes I cooked at a restaurant I once worked, which were served on weekends for brunch. They are easy to make, and may be prepared with or without tri-color bell peppers -- and of course they are delicious, with aromatic fresh herbs. I've tried making them with dried herbs, but there's just no beating the flavor of fresh rosemary and thyme (you can even sneak a little fresh sage in there too, if you've got it). Enjoy these hearty breakfast potatoes with your favorite eggs or omelet, or serve them the way I do (yes it may seem strange)... topped with my Recipe #363705 sauce! Mmm! -- posted by Bazaar®

Muir Glen Fire Roasted Salsa

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:57:57 -0500

This is a recipe that I found on the label of Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles. It's a very simple salsa recipe and doesn't require the addition of a jalapeno pepper, but still has a kick from the chiles in the tomatoes. Cooking time is chilling time. -- posted by LARavenscroft

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

A Greek inspired salad of fresh tomato halves, fetta cheese, olive oil and herbs. Perfect side dish for a meal, or wrapped up in a piece of flat bread it makes a great sandwich. It is absolutely essential to have good quality tomatoes for this dish. Little mini roma tomatoes are ideal, or any vine-ripened or organic fruit. -- posted by becy

Alabama Living Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:52:47 -0500

This recipe comes out of a local electric company magazine. We love hearty soups on the cold, damp days. This recipe fits the bill. Just place everything in the crock pot, go to work, come home to a wonderful soup. This makes a large crockpot of soup. For thicker soups you can use less broth, for thinner soups, use more. The cups measurement for the broth is up to your preference. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Basic Fresh Tomato Sauce

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:28:13 -0500

I discovered this sauce recipe by total accident, randomly paging through a 33 year old Sunset canning book. Once made, it is the BEST fresh tomato sauce I've ever tried or made. Well worth the time it takes to make from scratch. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef
