Recipes - Soup!

Hey Randi thanks for the links but I cannot add to it so I am adding here:

Wild Mushroom Soup

2&1/2lb to 3lb of mushrooms wild if you can get them
2 pints of mixed vegetable & Chicken stock - use stock cubes if necessary
1 cup of Milk
1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
Parsley and Rosemary
Cream to Garnish

Take your oil and mushrooms and put into a heated saucepan and saute until softened add one pint of mixed stock and simmer for 10 mins then mix and add milk and the rest of the stock and simmer for a further 15 mins stirring all the time to prevent the milk from curdling.

Add a sprig of fresh Rosemary and some parsley keep some back for garnish.

Blend ingredients together with a hand blender or a food processor/blender being careful with the lid on it.

Serve in warmed bowls add a dolop of serving cream or pour on pouring cream and serve wiht warmed crusty rolls and garlic butter.

Try it in the winter on a really cold day - yumm

Sorry I didn't get a chance to get the recipes posted in the old thread before someone else posted. About 10 minutes after I replied to you and while I was searching my net flaked out on me and it only now somewhat functional.

There are a ton of other foods to cover. What do you think would be a good one to start with. Pasta? Rice? Desserts? Maybe Ethnic or Exotic recipes?

I just finished getting my set of encyclopdia of Italian Cuisine and it has received great reviews from Chefs and experts all over. There are so killer recipes inside. I just have to translate them.

I have merged the old and new Soup threads - now it is all one.

I miss soup - now that it is summer, I see gazpacho in our local deli and sigh. I am only NOT allergic to the tomatoes in gazpacho, but gazpacho and a crusty roll used to be a summertime lunch staple!

Thanks for merging the 2 Karen. I didn't want to repost in the old one and have anyone lose their posts.

I searched and searched the net the other nite for Tortilla soup - didn't think of PET TALK! :)
I made a version of Tortilla soup - similiar to this except without hominy or beans. But I did add Corn. I think I'm going to make some more this week... YUMMY!

Yeah! Zuppa Toscana!
Bless you , Staci! The perfect soup for cold weather!

Oh boy, do I ever love soup! I could live on soup, pasta and rice. Wait, I do live on soup, pasta and rice. If anyone starts a thread for pasta, I'm excited!

Creamy Jerusalem Artichoke soup

Olive oil
6-8 Jerusalem Artichokes
1-2 potatoes
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic
vegetable or chicken stock
salt
pepper

Cut a small onion and a clove of garlic in smaller pieces and put it in a pot with a bit of oil.

Peel the Jerusalem Artichokes, cut them into pieces and also the potatoes and put them in the pot. Add about 1/2 liter of vegetable stock or chicken stock. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 25 min. covered with a lid. Stir now and again.

Let it cool off a bit and pour into a blender and whirl it around. Pour it back into the pot and add about 1 dl of milk and/or cream and heat it. Add some salt and pepper to taste.

That’s it - enjoy! :)

So ... do any of you have a good recipe?

Hey Randi,
I have a really good recipe for Swedish Yellow Pea soup. I lived in Sweden (close to where you are) for a year and loved a lot of the food. The pea soup was out of this world, and they would swirl dark mustard in the bowl before putting the soup on top of it. Yummmm!!!!

I just made a really fantastic Creamy Black Bean soup last week if anyone is interested in that recipe. I combined about 3 different ones, and then tossed in a few things I wanted. It's not the most attractive looking soup (pureed black beans kinda look like barf....lol).

I also have a Creamy White Bean and Sausage soup that was out of this world. I made that for our Harvest Luncheon at school and it as a hit.

Right now I have smoked turkey in a pot with veggies to make a stock for Smoked Turkey and Lentil soup. I can put the recipe up for that one as well.

I never used to like making soups, but now that I live alone and freeze the extras, it's nice to just come home and pop some soup in the microwave for a hot dinner during the week instead of cooking it and waiting when I've been working all day and tutoring after school.
