My project for this afternoon:
http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/butternut-squash-and-cauliflower-chowder/

But as usual, I'm changing it up a bit.  I think it needs to be pureed, so I'll simmer for 1/2 hour until everything is tender, using water instead of veg broth (need to cut salt) and will jazz it up with some smoked paprika and hot sauce.  I'll let y'all know how it comes out.

Holy Cow, ^ is a keeper!  Really yummy.  The use of veggie or chicken broth would cut he sweetness a bit.  With just water and milk, it is a little too sweet for me - which is why I added the smoked paprika.  DH will want to add hot sauce.  And a sprinkle of reggiano on top would be amazing.

Might try making Italian wedding soup today.  Or tomorrow.  Got some spinach in the fridge to use.

Italian Wedding Soup

As usual, I did not use a recipe.  But looked at a few as a starting point.  Ina's approaches most closely what I did, so I will post her recipe.  My tweaks:  I used ground turkey and made used the whole package, so ended up also using 2 quarts of stock plus a little more water and a bullion cube.  I just dropped the little meatballs right in the simmering soup before adding the pasta and spinach and let them cook through in the broth.  Saves some mess, and some recipes do this.  I used an 8oz bag of baby spinach, but any greens would work, like Kale.  I have grown to like kale in soup, because it holds up well.  The spinach may be a bit slimy tomorrow, butt i am not so fussy.  I added 3 crushed garlic cloves and squeezed in about 1/2 a lemon.   

I omitted the dill.  I used acini de pepe pastas.  About a scant cup as opposed to 1/2 cup.

Beef stew and Irish stew help request.  Has to be top 8 free.  I cannot make these stews you'll have to trust me on it.  Foolproof would be preferred. 
Title: Re: Soup Threads
Post by: PurpleCat on March 01, 2015, 02:17:25 PM
I've never made Irish stew but I often make beef stew and never follow a recipe.  Low and slow gets the most flavor so I make mine in a crock-pot,  then I can ignore until dinner.

(On the stove top, I've had some success but I hate to hang out and stir.....so sometimes it has burnt.)

I put cut up onions in the bottom.  Then stew beef (no I do not brown because I use cubed meat and it will brown by the end).  Then mushrooms if I use them, then my hardest vegetable first (like carrots) up to the softest vegetables.  If I need to use a frozen veggie, that goes on top to steam.  Then I will add either beef, chicken or vegetable broth, about half way to 2/3's of the way up the pot.

If I want potatoes, I don't cook them in the crock-pot for 2 reasons.  They can get mushy, and they take up too much space.  I'll do those just before we eat on the stove top with beef, chicken, or vegetable stock - not water and then mix it all together.  Most times I leave the skins on.

Carrots, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, chunks of cabbage, green beans, parsnips, etc are all yummy adds.  If I get carried away with vegetable choices and the pot gets too full, I'll cook green beans the same way I cook potatoes.

I cook this on high for a couple hours and then shift to low for about 4 hours.  If I am going out I'll leave it on low the whole time but check when I come in to be sure it does not need to speed up at all.

No two stews are the same and nobody here complains (wouldn't do them much good anyway!)

So, you guys made me crave beef stew/soup.  I am trying to keep it very simple hoping that the kids will have it.  I can dream!  I would prefer some tomatoes in it, but they will not touch it if I do that.  So, I diced everything small, more like a soup, and used beef, onions, celery, and garlic, all tossed together in the bottom, with some seasonings and salt and pepper.  Layered above are carrots and 3 red potatoes, diced.  I added about 2 cups of bullion, made with 2 beef cubes, and 2tsp worcestershire sauce.  I figure I may have to add water or seasonings, later, depending on saltiness.  I went a bit heavy, so the meat and veggies get flavor, and have room to dilute later.  If it were up to me, I might add more veggies, like mushrooms, or even a simple bag of mixed frozen, but again, trying to entice the kids.  wish me luck.

GN - This rocks!!!  Well so my family tells me.  They loved it!  I'm lactose intolerant so I nibbled a couple veggies for a brief taste.  I used broth and paprika but did not puree it.

Tortilla soup is one of my favorite things to eat out at a Mexican restaurant--and is sometimes one of the few safe things I can eat.  Every time I order some I think that I need to make a vegetarian version for DS.  Well, this week I finally did.


2 poblanos, seeds and stuff removed, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
cumin (I grind my own, Baby!)
Box of No-Chicken Stock
1 can of Rotel
1 can of diced or crushed tomatoes
1 can of chiles
Some tomato paste (I used a tube)
Salt and pepper to taste
Lime
Frozen or canned corn
You could add drained, rinsed black beans, but I didn't
Avocado
Tortilla Chips (the Lime Tostitos would be awesome, but I used Restaurant Style)


In a soup pot , saute the poblano. Add the onion after a couple of minutes. Then add the garlic at some point.  Throw in the cumin.

Then add the tomatoes, Rotel, chiles, No-Chicken stock, tomato paste, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes or so. 

Squeeze one half lime into the soup at some point. 

Cut up an avocado shortly before serving for putting in the soup and garnish with tortilla chips and a lime wedge.

Butternut squash soup made from leftovers:

Cubed squash
1 cubed potato (skin on)
2 carrots, 1 rib celery, 1 small onion, Clove garlic- all chopped
2 Tbsps. Olive oil
~5-6 cups broth or water
Salt, pepper and seasonings to taste

Sautée carrots, celery, garlic and onion for a few minutes, then add squash and potato. Add enough liquid to cover.  Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Allow to cool, then purée in blender. Add seasonings to taste, as soup is bland when plain. I added curry and garam masala, but hot sauce or paprika would be good as well.

DH loved it.

I made this cold soup today.  I'm posting the original recipe, but I changed it up significantly.

Ingredients

5 cucumbers
1/2 cup chopped parsley Scant 1/2 cup mint
6 scallions, chopped  3 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 quart pint buttermilk
1 pint yogurt 1 cup Greek Yogurt
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation:

Peel cucumbers and cut them in half, scraping out seeds. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and let them stand 30 minutes. Drain excess water.
Chop the cucumbers coarsely and put the pieces in the blender along with scallions, dill, mint, lemon juice, buttermilk, and yogurt. Blend at high speed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill well before serving.

Next time I might use all yogurt so it's a little thicker.  I also wouldn't mind a pinch of cayenne in there.  I might add that after it has chilled and the flavors have a chance to blend well.

I was in the mood for soup, but felt like switching up the traditional Split Pea that i usually make. This is what I did:

Unconventional Split Pea Soup

2 Tbsps olive oil
2 cups yellow split peas
2 carrots, diced small
2 stalks of celery, diced small
1/2 yellow onion, diced small
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
1 14 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes
1/2 tsp. Each cumin and coriander
~1 tsp. Paprika
————————————————————
Sauté veggies in 2 TBSPS. Olive oil

Add in Split peas, bay leaves, tomatoes and broth, stir well. Add seasonings.

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Remove bay leaves.

Use immersion blender, or regular blender to blend and thicken.

Extra delicious with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving.

I just tasted it, and it’s delicious.  Probably even better tomorrow.

It's been a while since anyone has been in this thread, but I made a good one last week - chicken butternut squash stew.  I'm working on using more long-lasting veggies in case of grocery supply issues.  I cured the squash for storage in this recipe in mid November, and it was good to make this last week.

https://thenaturalnurturer.com/slow-cooker-chicken-butternut-squash-stew/

I'm that person that doesn't follow recipes as written.  For this one, I:
Used the general ratios but didn't really measure anything.
Added minced garlic instead of garlic powder, though I added some roasted garlic powder at the end.
Threw the chicken breasts in directly from the freezer - thin, individually frozen ones, so I wasn't worried about them "danger zoning".
Took a few cups out at the end and whirled it with a stick blender, then stirred that back in to give it more body.
Wilted baby spinach at the end.

And mainly, I changed the whole spice flavor profile.  DSD doesn't like sage much, and this was pretty heavily sage-y.  I've had squash work well with cumin & company, so my main flavor profile was cumin, chipotle powder and smoked paprika.  I think it would be a good base for many flavor profiles.

I’m glad you raised this Janelle. I’ve been very into making soup lately; it’s so comforting, and a creative way to clean out the fridge.

I’ve done some butternut squash/cauliflower/tomato soups that are heavenly.

This red lentil is a favorite of DH’s. It’s pretty close to what I do.

Lentil soup that I made Saturday - uses 2 kinds of lentils, was very popular.

https://eatinginstantly.com/the-best-instant-pot-lentil-soup/

The recipe is written for an instant pot, I did it in a slow cooker.

Things I changed:
I didn't use any oil.
I used chicken broth.
I couldn't find my turmeric, so I left it out, but I did add smoked paprika and some sriracha.
My celery was bad so I chopped up some peeled broccoli stalks instead.

Served with plain yogurt, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, hot sauce.

I love soup. Unfortunately, my diet is so limited, the only soup I can eat is chicken noodle.

I went searching for a different chicken soup and found this one.

I’m eventually going to try it in my IP.

SL, I have to remember to get some gnocchi in a grocery order so that I can make that, it looks tasty.



Tonight's soup: Spicy Pumpkin Chicken Corn Chowder
https://boulderlocavore.com/slow-cooker-spicy-pumpkin-chicken-corn-chowder/#comments

Changes I made:
Put in two frozen chicken breasts instead of rotisserie chicken, shredded and returned to the slow cooker once it was cooked through
3-4 cups chicken broth instead of 6
Added bay leaf, minced garlic and a bit of cinnamon
I didn't finish it with cream, just served with plain yogurt

Served with cilantro, green onion, and sriracha as well.  Homemade garlic naan on the side.


I think the potatoes were kind of a weird addition, next time I would substitute with a sweet potato and a few carrots.
