The Best Chicken and Dumplings

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:42:47 -0400

This is the perfect comfort food for those chilly winter nights, and with the long simmer time it will nicely warm up your home. I adapted this recipe through a combination of many sources and a little ingenuity since I was dissatisfied with each of my individual attempts. None of them tasted quite right. The original sources were a cookbook called "the firehouse cookbook", which offered the addition of evaporated milk as a healthier (and still delicious) substitution for heavy cream. And the cookbook which added the necessary addition of vermouth is called "The Best Recipe". It's a constantly changing evolving recipe so feel free to offer your additions or suggestions. I'd love to hear them. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Kenchin Style Vegetable Soup

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:25:28 -0400

This is from "The Enlightened Kitchen: Fresh Vegetable Dishes from the Temples of Japan" by Mari Fujii. It comes from Kenchoji Temple, the first Zen buddhist temple in Japan. It is a wonderful example of shojin ryori, or "temple cuisine". The ingredients suggest this is a winter soup, although for health and nutrition, this soup can certainly be served in any season. The author suggests that instead of the soy sauce (or in place of part of it), you can substitute miso or sake without losing authenticity. Although this looks like a lot of directions, it's actually a very simple preparation. If you can boil water, stir fry, and use a knife to slice vegetables, you have all the skills you need. Once you make this, you won't even need to look at the directions. Note: prep time and cooking time does not include the 2 hr soaking of the konbu to make konbu stock, but does include all other cooking and soaking times. -- posted by Gandalf The White

Spicy Sweet Potato & Onion Soup

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:11:59 -0400

This is my own recipe , it's easy to make tastes fantastic. This is for 1 serving as i make it to take to work for lunch. I've never actually measured the herbs and spices as you should make it to your taste but below is a rough guide. Add more or less depending on what you like. The water level should be filled in your pan about an inch above the ingredients level. You can add more water once cooking has finished if the soup is too thick. -- posted by Leah567

Creamy Potato and Bacon Soup.

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:55:16 -0400

Quite simple, not alot of work involved. Produces a wonderful soup full of flavour! I made this recipe a few weeks ago on a very cold day. As for preperation of the bacon, you can choose to cook it in the stock pot, leaving behind as much fat as possible for flavour, and add back after cooking of the rest of the soup, or do as I've suggested with the microwave. I suggested the microwave because making the bacon cripsy is much easier this way. -- posted by Ambien.

Sam's Ramen Soup

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:35:08 -0400

This is the way I love eating ramen noodles. It's been in the making now since I was nine years old. Sometimes I vary it with vegetables or even different cooked meats or seafood. But it's always my go to recipe when I'm sick. Never fails. Just be careful not to overcook the noodles and as soon as you add the egg, you have to be quick. -- posted by SaMSaM

Traditional Minestrone Soup (Easy and Delicious)

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:02:38 -0400

I came up with this recipe after I couldn't find a minestrone recipe that I liked. This one is very simple and delicious, with ingredients that are easy to find. But the great thing about minestrone is that you can use whatever you have on hand. And because the main ingredients are vegetables and beans you can adjust the recipe to fit any dietary needs such as vegetarian or low-sodium. -- posted by JoeyV

And it is definitely worth the wait! You really want bone in, skin on chicken to really get a good flavor. You can also use other veggies, these are just my family favorites. -- posted by Super Sara

Asian Vegetable Noodle Soup

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:07:36 -0400

This light, refreshing rice noodle soup is perfect for both Summer and Winter. If needed, dried herbs can be used in place of fresh ones. Add tofu, cooked chicken, seafood and mushrooms as desired. White cabbage can be added instead of bok choy and a small amount of leek or onion is also good. The soup will freeze well but noodles tend to go mushy when reheated. -- posted by the_allergic_chef

I make this at least once a week come fall & winter for dinner and lunches. My carnivore husband LOVES it. Goes great with homemade bread too! If you are lucky enough to find grains of paradise, use them. I hear it really makes the soup. Never being able to find it myself, I just substitute regular pepper for it. -- posted by ShaenaL

Garden Tomato Soup

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:10:47 -0400

If you have an abundance of tomatoes - or can get them cheap - here is a soup recipe that not only is delicious, its salt-free, and if you omit the milk or yogurt til later, you can freeze it for the winter. Very adaptable to suit your own taste. I found this in a soup cookbook by Debra Mayhew, & tweaked it to our needs. With tomato plants exceeding expectations, this is the way to eat well all winter long. I favour it to provide a kidney patient with no-salt soup she can still enjoy - we add some salt at the table, though. It wraps itself around your tongue like canned soup never, ever will. -- posted by Maple

Warming Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:01:40 -0400

This is a wonderfully filling soup that is a complete meal in one dish. If you use full fat italian sausage, you will need to drain the fat before adding the liquid ingredients or skim the fat from the soup as it simmers. This recipe is very suitable for Weight Watchers if you use very lean sausage and go easy on the tortellini. -- posted by Shuzbud

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

Smoked Gouda Corn Chowder

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:24:28 -0400

A friend's son created this for one of our soup luncheons- delish! Try not to boil the soup, as this will cause it to break and have an unwanted texture. Stir soup periodically to prevent scorching on the bottom of the pan. Additional option: For a non-vegetarian option, fry and crumble ½ lb. bacon. Use the bacon grease instead of the butter for the roux. Add the bacon back to the soup with the salt and pepper. (You will use less salt because of the bacon.) -- posted by gnet

Michele's Chicken Tortilla Soup

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:11:18 -0400

I used to go to a local Mexican restaurant all the time for this soup. I finally decided I needed to learn to make it because eating out was costing me way too much ;) I looked through several recipes for the soup, combined some, and then tweaked until I came up with a recipe that was close to that of my favorite Mexican place. This is quick and easy and I usually get rave reviews when I make this for a crowd. I hope you enjoy it! :) PS. This soup has a mild heat. If you like it spicier, add a can of chopped chilies or a diced jalepeno. I've also substituted the Rotel tomatoes with a really good chunky salsa when I couldn't find them. And I like to garnish with a lime wedge. -- posted by Michele105

Broccoli-Potato Soup With Greens

Chicken Stew

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:57:15 -0400

This is a very hearty stew. I got this recipe about 30 years ago from "Family Circle". My son was 5 or 6 and would not eat many vegetables but liked this, so it was a keeper. He never noticed the okra in it. You can also substitue or add what you like to it easily. This makes a huge pot, so be ready to share or freeze some! I cook it on top of the stove in a dutch oven. I serve it with corn muffins and it is a meal. I hope other's enjoy it. Note: If using left over turkey, use chicken broth instead of water. -- posted by Chef #1388586

Vegan Lentil Soup in 20 Minutes

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:25:45 -0400

I admit, the first time I used a pressure cooker I was a little afraid. I left my studio and stood on the other side of the door to avoid severe burning and disfigurement if my pot of legumes exploded. I called a friend to ask her if I was doing it right. But now I see the pressure cooker like a trusted friend who only wants to save me some valued time. So when I saw this lentil recipe in Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the preparation time of 1 hour, I was so glad I had a pressure cooker to cut the time by nearly two-thirds, borrowing a technique from the Spanish and the Lentils with Chorizo Sausage Recipe (Recipe #342592). The first thing I did was skip the step where you sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. It's unnecessary, and you'll find that my method makes a soup with a smoother, more pleasant consistency by cooking the vegetables whole or halved, then removing and pureeing them afterwards. My kitchen has a surplus of brown lentils, so those are what I used. I'm going to keep the brown lentils in the recipe because I don't know if French lentils require more liquid. One thing I want to try for next time, since I used bouillon cubes, is to break them up and try to dissolve them in step 2 rather than prepare the stock ahead of time, and I plan to cut down the salt next time. I find the best way to seed plum tomatoes is to cut them in half and sweep out the seedy parts with your index finger. The soup you'll get from this is addictively delicious and filling, and you'll feel like a genius for owning a pressure cooker. -- posted by Valeria

Low Sodium Cabbage & Beef Soup

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:23:18 -0400

Took Recipe #21886 and made it low sodium for my family and here are the results! It was delicious and NO one reach for the salt shaker! Can be halved if you don't need a lot. I canned the leftovers in glass jars and have been using for last minute dinners. Add hot bread and it's a hit. And my husband says he doesn't like cabbage...this changed his mind :) -- posted by Dream Acres

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

This recipe was given to me by a friend and I just love it. Good comfort food! The first time I made this, I followed the directions exactly and baked my potatoes for about 1 1/2 hours at 500 degrees. I passed the recipe on to my mom, who just boiled her potatoes and she said it turned out perfectly, so by all means, make things easier on yourself. Just thought I'd post orginal directions as they were given to me. I used an immersion blender to make the soup creamy, but still left a few small chunks of potato to add texture. Add liquid as needed. Yummy! This makes a huge amount, so feel free to half the recipe. -- posted by Lydia's Mama

Bacon, Swiss Chard, Potato, and Vegetable Soul-Satisfying Soup

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:47:00 -0400

I begin to turn to soup when the weather outside turns a bit crisp, and I keep right on making and eating hearty, healthy, warming soups all winter long. This is an adaptable soup. Instead of the swiss chard, you could substitute any dark greens (spinach, turnip tops, radish tops, mustard greens, etc.). You could also substitute beans and/or rice for the potato; add fall veggies like sweet potatoes or squash; etc. Unless you're veggie, don't leave out the bacon. Smoked, cured pork products paired with leafy greens are one of life's simple luxuries. -- posted by jo_mama

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

Sausage and Lentil Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:06:09 -0400

I found this in an old Good Housekeeping Magazine (Dec. 2005) in my Dr. waiting room. We love it and it freezes beautifully. You can sub turkey Italian sausage for the regular. Don't skimp on the fennel, it makes the dish. I also disregard the amounts of salt and pepper and just season to taste (it does need a bit more salt than stated in recipe). -- posted by Aubergine910

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~

Four-Bean Chili

Tortilla Soup

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:15:46 -0500

This recipe came from my high school Home Ec. class (which I took 19 years ago). I have never seen another tortilla soup like it. I describe this soup as having a taste somewhere between salsa, tomato soup, and spaghetti sauce. It is very simple to make. I use 2 cups of water and two chicken boullion cubes instead of a can of chicken broth. Also we like garlic so I usually use about 3 cloves of garlic. To make this soup vegetarian don't add the beef and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. -- posted by ~Sherry~

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

Ten Mothers Garlic and Spinach Soup

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:06:17 -0500

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes. -- posted by SassiFras

Pumpkin (Yes, Pumpkin!) Soup

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:15:46 -0500

When offered this soup, the thought was not at all appealing to me. Pumpkin soup? I wanted to be thoughtful, so I said I would try just a little. Well, I LOVED it, and ended up asking for the recipe so I can make this myself. Do try it...you may be surprised! -- posted by meltedcountry

Perfect Chicken Corn Chowder

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:48:41 -0500

I've never had a better one. Been making this for years. Use a chablis, sauvignon blanc or any not-sweet similar white wine; it need not be a great wine but the wine DOES add that certain something. I've even been known to add a tiny splash of dry sherry at the finish. The soup is filling and delicious. Also freezes well. A vintage recipe, from my "olde" recipe file. I'll tell you how old it is: it calls for 17 oz. cans of creamed corn! I have no idea where the recipe came from originally! -- posted by Jezski

It's fairly easy and quick to make and will make 4-6 good-sized bowls so everyone can cuddle up with one :) -- posted by Chef Kirsten (#1!)
