Any help is appreciated. > > Thanks in advance! > Rachel > ___________________________ Dear Rachel, The soup that I was going to make today, but will probably make tomorrow, is a simple potato-leek thing. I don't have a recipe, but I will put in about one large or two or three smaller leeks, or whatever I have, and then one large or two small potatoes per person; I guess about a half to one cup of beans, I usually use the quicker-cooking ones, like split peas, or some variety of lentils. Then I add some dried kompu (kelp), some dried msuhrooms, some garlic cloves, and anything else I can scrounge up. Actually, we have a lot of collard leaves, and I may add some as an experiment. Has anyone ever cooked collards like this? I usually gently steam thim for a short time, so this will be interesting. One more thing...I add some miso right before serving, probably straight to each bowl.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Rachel, how about chili? If you look in our archives there should be plenty of different soup recipes, including chili. My favorite soup to make isn't crockpot, and it's from Vegan Vittles. It's water, nutritional yeast, spices, garbanzo beans and shell pasta. I'll try to find the recipe and post it, it's sooo tasty!! -cherrie - thnkfree <thnkfree Wed, 22 Sep 2004 13:10:06 -0400 (EDT) Re: soups > Hi guys, > > I am looking for some soup recipes.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi Rachel This is a favourite of mine Thick Tuscan Bean Soup Serves 4-6 225g/8oz dried cannellini or borlotti beans, soaked overnight in cold water 15ml/1tbsp olive oil 1 large onion, finely diced 2 carrots, finely diced 2 leeks, thinly sliced 2 celery sticks, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 225g/8oz can of chopped tomatoes 900ml/1.5pts vegetable stock salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 courgette(zucchini) finely diced 1 handful of baby spinach leaves 30ml/2tsp green pesto 4 thick slices of Italian bread such as ciabatta 1. Preheat slow-cooker on High 2. Drain beans, put in a large pan of cold water, bring to the boil and boil gently for 10 mins (alternatively use a can of beans which will not need boiling at this stage.) 3. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan and add onions, carrots, leeks and celery. Cook over a medium heat stirring frequently until just beginning to brown. 4. Drain the beans and add to the pan with garlic, tomatoes, stock and a little seasoning. Bring just to the boil and transfer to the slow-cooker and stir gently. 5. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours or until the vegetables are very tender, then stir in the courgette and spinach and cook for a further 30 minutes until soft. 6. Toast the bread until golden brown. 7. Stir the pesto into the soup and ladle the soup into bowls. 8. Top each with hot toasted bread and drizzle with olive oil. This is a fabulous recipe from the excellent " Vegetarian Recipes for your Slo-Cooker " by Annette Yates published by Foulsham which has some lovely recipes which I find easily adaptable to a vegan diet.
