After fooling around, I have come up with the perfect tasting homemade version to this classic canned soup! At the age of 35, this is my favorite "feel better" soup when I come down with a cold. The ABC's are fun for the kids too! If you don't want to go vegetarian, use beef broth instead of vegetable broth or a combo of both. -- posted by TheDancingCook

Red Onion Soup or Zuppa Di Cipolle Rosse

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 01:49:52 -0400

I love how this simple dish scents the whole house when cooking. When someone you know has a cold, serve this to them (minus the bread and cheese) with one great big glass of red wine. Send the patient straight to bed after eating. They should feel a little bit better when they wake up. Sometimes I add 2 tbs. of Port or Sherry as a special treat. Note: You will need some cheese cloth or a large tea ball strainer to make this recipe. -- posted by Karen's Krazy Kitchen

This is a fabulous, wholesome and tasty chicken noodle soup that is the perfect comfort food in the fall.

Homestyle Noodle Soup (Vegan/Vegetarian)

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:15:48 -0400

I'd been looking for a while for a good, wholesome and tasty chicken noodle soup without the chicken. Many of my friends are vegans and vegetarians, and since soup is my favorite comfort food, I thought that that having some dishes in my repertoire to cook for them was important. This is one of the best chicken noodle soup recipes, in my opinion, and the great thing about it is that it can easily be enjoyed by both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. I made it by blending a couple old-fashioned chicken noodle and vegetarian noodle recipes with my own and doing multiple taste-tests.

Sassi Chicken Stock

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:19:23 -0400

This is a rich, golden chicken stock. Leaving the skins on the garlic and onions adds a deep, beautiful color. It is so good, it can be sipped just by itself on a cold day if you are feeling under the weather. This recipe makes around 15 cups, and I freeze it in 2-cup containers. Always substitute it for water when: cooking rice, home made soup or chili. It will really add to any recipe. Enjoy!! -- posted by SassiKatt Chef

Duck Stock (Save That Carcass)

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:43:09 -0400

Russ and I love duck and I love to make stock with the remaining carcass, wing tips and that big neck. I remove the skin from the neck. We mostly eat marinated Asian style duck, so I pop the wings and neck in the marinade and then bake them alongside the bird for a while. I also strain off the fat and cooking juices and after removing the layer of fat, add the jellied juices to my stock. I use the stock for noodle soup for the two of us. -- posted by JustJanS

Entered for safe-keeping. From Donald Gazzinga's "The No-Salt, Lowest Sodium Light Meals Cookbook". Recovering heart patients and those with congestive heart failure require drastic measures to eliminate as much sodium from their diet as possible. Ask your local water facility for the amount of sodium in your local water, and read the labels of bottled water, sodium amounts vary widely.

Vegan Mock Chicken Noodle Soup

Wed, 24 Dec 2008 01:28:50 -0500

My wife is a vegetarian but was sick one day and was craving some soup. This is what I came up with. I've found that the smaller you chop the seitan, the better the results. This recipe is vegan, but I've also made it for myself substituting with one can of canned chicken, 5 cans chicken stock, and 2 tablespoons of butter and it turned out great, too. If you can't locate vegan noodles, the shirataki noodles make a great substitute, but remember to rinse them in water and slice them in half with scissors before adding to the soup. The cayenne pepper really helps with a stuffy nose, but can be safely omitted without sacrificing flavor. As with all recipes, taste throughout, adjust spices if needed as dry spices lose their potency over time. -- posted by pmnick

Texican Ranch Soup

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:14:55 -0500

YUM!! This is our new favorite soup at our house. I love it because I can cook once and eat several different meals from it. The first night we eat it as suggested. The next night I stir in Tostito's Queso and or any leftover taco meat I have in the freezer. I''ve even used it in a casserole by layering corn tortillas, cream of chicken soup with 1/2 cup sourcream stirred in, the soup with meat added, then topped with cheese or Queso. We don't like food that is really spicy, so this soup has a mild kick to it. Diced tomatos with Chipotle peppers are available in brands such as Red Gold or Best Choice. This is my version of Rachael Ray's Black Bean Stoup. -- posted by Starweaver

Most people know they should be eating more whole grains. Most people don't have the time to.

Cauliflower and Parmesan Soup

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:15:46 -0400

Soup fit for a king (and his mistress) Cauliflower is inextricably linked with the Comtesse du Barry, a favourite mistress of King Louis XV of France. Interestingly, cauliflower is known as the faux-potato in several low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets. This parmesan-flavoured cauliflower soup is a wonderful dish to have to hand during the busy Christmas season when guests are popping in. If you prefer it with more of a kick, use blue cheese instead of parmesan, or stir in a good pinch of garam masala. To dress it up for pre-Christmas entertaining, strew the top with a few matchsticks of smoked salmon, or with crisped slices of pancetta and toasted almonds. Or, if you want to be very Comtesse du Barry about it, slip in a couple of seared sea scallops at the last minute, then serve it with a dollop of crème fraîche and a spoonful of caviar. ENJOI! -- posted by Ashlin

Homemade Chicken Stock

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:28:36 -0400

Can be made with roasted ingredients or raw. Notes: I use whole chicken carcass with most of meat gone or approx equivalent, good to have some meat left on it, if you can handle it, break some of the bones to get the marrow out to make it taste richer. Also, i save my veggie cuttings (outsides of onions, potato peels, carrot tips) and use them . I just stick them in a bag and freeze them until I make the stock. you can add 1 C white wine or change seasonings according to wishes or what is fresh and available. try not to make it more than minimally salty so can add when you are using it for other soups. For roasted chix broth: roast chix & veggies for 20 min at 500 to carmelize. Usually make this after I make roasted chicken and veggies for dinner and use left overs/remains. Just roast extra veggies and include the parts you trimmed off on the ones you plan to eat--tips of carrots, etc. If I'm feeling ambitious, I pick out the chicken bones and freeze the veg remains for dog soup and delight my dogs. I also make this using the parts of veggies I trim off whenever I'm cutting up/using veggies--outer layers of onions, tips of carrots, etc. I just stick them in a bag in the freezer and add them to the stock when I make it. -- posted by Papagayita

Taco Bean Soup

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:53:33 -0400

My MIL gave me this one, and it has become a favorite at our house. Easy, low calorie, and the whole family likes it. You can throw in any beans you like (pinto, black, kidney, navy, chili, garbanzo, white, etc.), and this is flexible to additions like a can of tomatoes or green beans, or a package of ranch mix, though I find that makes it too salty for my taste. Makes a great lunch soup, or can become dinner with a salad and some biscuits or rolls. -- posted by Proverbs31gal

Little Stuffed Hats in Broth

Sun, 10 May 2009 20:00:59 -0400

This soup is served in Northern Italy on Santo Stefano (also known as St. Stephens Day or Boxing Day) and on New Year's Day. It makes a welcome change from all the special celebration food at this time of year. It is traditionally made with the Christmas capon carcass, but chicken stock works equally well. This recipe calls for cappeletti, which means "little hat". The difference between cappelletti, from Modena, and tortellini, from Bologna, lies in the stuffing and not in the form. According to the Modenese, cappelletti are shaped like hats: On the other hand, Giuseppe Cerri, whom the Bolognese credit with the happy invention of the tortellino, claimed to have been inspired by a vision of Venuss navel.

Tomato and Paprika Soup

Mon, 11 May 2009 17:40:16 -0400

I made this recipe with ingredients I had in the kitchen today. I was given the last of the tomatos from one of my friends gardens, I had a few potatos, some celery and so I set out to make soup. Wasn't sure what the end result would be, but apparently it is a hit with my family, bless them, I love their encouragement. -- posted by Sueyous

Easy Noodle Soup

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:25:27 -0400

This is a very easy recipe that I came up with one afternoon. Its half way between a soup and a pasta, great for kids who say they don't like soup. I use Ham but you can substitute it for chicken, tuna or a meat you normally use. For larger servings just add about 1/2 cup of pasta for each extra person. Enjoy! -- posted by yoshi_pizza

Broth can be made ahead of time; it can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Recipe from Whole Foods. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Avgolemono Soup

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:05:29 -0400

this is a greek soup, it's a lemony chicken noodle [or rice] kinda soup. i learned the recipe from my yia-yia [grandmother] when i was younger. it's great for those cold wintery days or a rainy fall or spring day. or if you're just in the mood for some soup. now you can either used canned chicken noodle/chicken and rice soup [which is fastest] or make homemade chicken soup which is healthier and probably overall better tasting. but it's up to you. this recipe is going to go by the canned soup. -- posted by koukla007

Plain Hotpot Broth (Sichuan) -- Bai Tang Lu

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 02:48:21 -0400

Recipezaar has (as of July 2009) 29 hotpot recipes, but all but one of these are not the Chinese style hotpot. The exception (Mongolian Hotpot With Chicken and Shrimp #327359) is listed as Mongolian style hotpot. This recipe, and several that will follow, are authentic Sichuan. The source is Fuschia Dunlop's Land of Plenty, which focuses on Sichuan cuisine. One of her other books, The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook, discusses the Hunanese version of hotpot cuisine, which appears to be more similar to the Mongolian than is the Sichuanese. I haven't had this specific recipe, but I have had Sichuan hotpot at several Chengdu and NYC Chinatown Sichuan restaurants ... an absolutely wonderful meal. Fuschia spent several years in Chengdu as a student at Sichuan's most notable cooking school ...IMHO her books are among the most authentic and best sources in English for Sichuanese and Hunanese recipes. The basic process is as follows; Prepare the broth (this recipe) or multiple broths (plain, spicy, vegetarian, etc.). Prepare raw ingredients which will be dipped by each individual guest. Each guest will remove his/her ingredient when cooked to their preference, then dipped in a dipping sauce (there may be 4-12 sauces for the party) and eaten. When all are done with the dipping ingredients, the broth, now flavored from all the dipping ingredients, is served as a soup/broth. Enjoy!! This is heavenly ... like a fondue but so much better!! -- posted by Gandalf The White

This is a great and versatile soup that can be modified in so many ways to fit your tastes. Awesome comfort food, easy to prepare, and tastes great served right away or leftover.

Corn Broth

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:25:28 -0400

This recipe uses all the parts from corn on the cob, that you and I would normally throw out, to make a flavorful broth. It can easily stand in for vegetable broth or chicken broth in many recipes. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 2 months. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

Hearty Chicken Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:05:19 -0400

A hearty chicken soup recipe that has been fine-tuned over many years to near perfection. It is one of the most flavorful soups due to the inclusion of dark meat, soup base, and a relatively high fat content. Let this be a warning: This recipe is not recommended for those who are on a low calorie or low fat diet. Eat in moderation. -- posted by Mike the Gastronomer

Sarasota's Easy Chicken Soup

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:14:28 -0500

Now, I have probably too many versions for chicken soup ... My favorite ... fresh vegetables, stock and herbs taking hours to make my own roasted stock, slow cooked and fresh made pasta. Well, I love it and for a special night, I actually go through all that work. But, working full time, that opportunity just doesn't come around that often. So version #2. Now, I normally don't like packaged seasoning, and frozen foods are usually as a last resort, but hey...we all have a life, jobs, family and sometimes... shortcuts just have to be made and this is one. The best part is you can make the chicken ahead, and then put the soup together in 20 minutes. For a quick soup, this is really good. Now you can always use the seasoning and add add fresh vegetables if you want, but this is my version of a homemade tasting soup in less time than it takes to go get take out. Make some grilled cheese sandwiches or some ham and cheese and you have a great comfort food dinner. And a bonus, you have enough chicken leftover to make chicken salad sandwiches for the next day or chicken for another meal. Not a bad deal! -- posted by SarasotaCook
