Perpetual Soup Thread

[Run Amok]

Sadly, my favorite soup thread appears to have been archived.

Made any good soups lately? Thinking of making my first foray into soup land his year. Leaning toward a very simple tomato barley or perhaps lentil. Craving homey and earthy, I guess!

I'm very fond of Rachael Ray's "stoup" (stew/soup combo) recipes. They are chunky with veggies and protein. I'll post some of my fav when I get a chance. I love her eggplant thai style stoup with coconut milk. No need to get take out.

I have a very easy recipe for this that I keep coming back to.  I get frozen mashed butternut squash from the supermarket, add some water and put in MW.  Then I add milk or almond milk, agave syrup, cinnamon and ginger. Serve with bread.  I go by taste and thickness for the proportions; never really measure them. Super easy and deliciously smooth.

mine is simple, onion, butternut squash, water, salt. Simply perfect. I blend it with my immersion blender.

I made a (mostly) root veggie soup yesterday.  No recipe, just veg broth, onion, garlic, celery, carrots, sweet potato, rutabagas, parsnips, spinach.  Plus a random sprinkling of herbs.

For the meat eaters, this is quite tasty:

No problems.  I used vidalia onions. Maybe that might be the reason...

I make French Onion Soup all the time, but with veg broth and not beef broth

i made veggie chili two nights ago, and we'll eat that until it's gone.

yes, that is what I did, too.

[diablita]

That may be the key then.  I would guess that beef broth + all those onions + cheese == comida pesada

My kale, lentil, sausage recipe turned out very good.

1 lb italian sausage cook until caramelized

add 1 chopped onion and 2 garlic cloves chopped. cook for 5 mins.

Add ¼-½ cup lentils, then 4 cups of chicken stock. Boil then simmer for 10 mins.

When lentils are cooked and tender, add 1 lb coarsely chopped kale and simmer for 5 minutes.

Correct the seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Stir in 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar or to taste.

Let cool for 5 mins before serving.

Serves 4-6.
