Lasagna Soup!
Ingredients
1 lb bulk Italian sausage
2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup carrot, diced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup provolone cheese or fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded (for garnish)
4 teaspoons thinly sliced fresh basil (for garnish)
Directions
1 Brown sausage in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots; saute 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and garlic, and saute another 3 minutes.
2 Add broth, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce, and bring to a boil. Drop in pasta and simmer until cooked, about 10 minutes, or according to package directions. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
3 Place 1/4 cup cheese into serving bowls and pour soup on top. Garnish with Parmesan and basil.

• I of course adapted it to my tastes.
• I used Ground Pork AND Beef.
• I used 6 cans of chicken broth
• I used the LARGE can of DICED tomotoes.
• I used dried basil mixed in the soup.
• I used Natural Cheese Crumbles b/c I couldn't find provolone and this town didn't have Fresh Mozzeralla.
• I used Piccolini® Mini Farfalle b/c I couldn't find the mafalda pasta or campenelle pasta in this town either.
• I used maybe a half tsp of minced garlic.
• No onion.
• I used One large can of mushroom pieces and stems.
• and I used Shredded Carrots - they cooked faster.
• And FROZEN chopped spinach. -
• I divided it up and took a bowl to my neighbors. When I was putting it in my bowls for the freezer - I thought it needed more juice to make it soupier so I added a LARGE can of CRUSHED tomatoes.

Did the mushrooms scream?

Split pea soup.

I take a bag of peas and either-soak overnight or do the quick cook method on the package.

1 bag of peas - 1 lb?
Two carrots,
Two cloves of garlic,
2 celery stalks.
Two med potatoes
I chunk of salt pork, 1 ham steak (1 lb.) or two ham hocks

Cut the ham or salt pork into small chunks. set aside
Chop all the veggies into small chunks.

Heat up a soup pot and add oil, crush the garlic - add to pot and cook for a minute. Add the veggies and meat, cook for about three to five minutes, add a gallon of water. Wait about 10 minutes and add peas - cook until tender.

To make a creamy soup - take half of the finished product, blend and return to pot. Serve with croutons on top.


I left out salt and other spices because you know what you like!

WTF? Stay outta my head.
I swear to George....


I went to the store and bought three bags of beans/peas.

15 bean soup, white beans and split peas...

So where were you all while I was shopping?

I have lentils out the wazoo... well, not literally, lol, but you know what I mean.

I went to the arabic store and bought orange and green lentils, and didn't realize how few lentils you need to make soup. I now have a cereal box tupperware container with each of them in it.

I've made lentils so many different ways, I'm really getting tired of them!

Any other ideas for lentils???

[Moesha]

No idea for lentils, but I've been meaning to make O'Charley's Loaded Potato Soup for weeks. I finally purchased the ingredients and realized that I'll be dog sitting at someone's house starting on Friday. I don't want to make it and let it just sit around. I guess I won't get my soup until next week sometime. I did make chili last weekend though!

ETA: Jenn, the picture in your signature is beautiful. I just took one that reminds me of it at the house where I'll be dog sitting. They always have the most beautiful driveway in the fall!

You may want to call your health care provider, I know nothing of Wazoos!

Are they similar to peas?

Recipes please?

This isn't soup but if you want an idea for the lentils I often cook a pot of macaronni , throw in a can of mushroom soup and add a can of lentils. we all love it for a quick meal and a change.

This is one of the yummiest soups I've ever had.

This sounds so yummy; I plan to make it soon but since I detest apples but will cook w/them, is there a specific kind of apple to use or will any kind do?

I like to use Macintosh apples, because they're softer and break down easier in the soup. If you are not a fan of apples, do not use a firm apple like grannies or something like that. Macs tend to be great for sauces and cakes and pies, and I love their flavor as well.

Let me know what you think! I love this soup!

ps... I can't imagine detesting apples! I hate red deliciious apples, but that's just me. most apples I do like. Honeycrunch are SPECTACULAR, and only around for a few weeks each year.

Made a slightly changed version of this very simple recipe for Leek and Potato soup last Friday. Halved ingredients, used Knorr veg stock instead of chicken, left out the cream, added a little garlic and the merest pinch of chilli. It was yummy.

2 Leeks
2 Large Potatoes
2 Chicken Cubes
Knob of butter
Pepper
Single cream (optional)

Cut the leeks down the middle and slice and then fry gently in the butter

Chop the potatoes into small cubes put them into 2 pints of water with 2 chicken cubes. Cook until soft.

Add the leeks to the potatoes and simmer for 15 minutes adding the pepper, (a good 1/2 teaspoon).

As you serve you can add a small amount of cream, to make cream of leek and potato soup, but this is optional

Delicious with a crusty bread roll.

[Randi]

I was going to make the cauliflower soup, but forgot to buy leeks and celery when I was out shopping, so I'm cooking the Jerusalem Artichoke soup instead. Yumm! Now, if only my oven was working! (for the flutes)

Have any of you tried the recipes posted? Let's get some feed-back! Sorry, I haven't tried any of them yet.
