Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I am new to the group, live in Australia and must admit that I am a terrible cook. I would appreciate some ideas to make a creative vegetable soup apart from the same old vegies of potatoes, peas, corn, carrots etc with onions. Shabbat soup is no longer wanted by my children!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sorry about the chicken stock in one of the recipes I sent. I use water and it's just fine.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 This is definitely different, and really yummy: ZUCCHINI AND HOMINY SOUP (Serves 8) This is a vegetarian version of posole, a dish made by Pueblos and Hispanics for feast days and special celebrations. Serve it with sage breadsticks. Hominy is a flavorful, chewy type of corn kernel that is treated with lime and dried. It is available either canned, frozen, or dried. A mail-order source for hominy is Los Chileros de Nuevo Mexico, PO Box 6215, Santa Fe, NM 87502; (505) 471-6967. You can substitute frozen corn kernels for an even more colorful soup. 2 Tablespoons apple juice 1 onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 zucchini, sliced 1 cup peeled and chopped mild green chile peppers (you can also use any color capsicum) 6 cups vegetable broth 4 cups cooked yellow hominy (or 2 16-oz. cans) (I have only made this with frozen corn) 1 teaspoon ground cumin 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro Saute the onion and garlic in apple juice for 3-5 minutes. Add zucchini and green chiles and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, another five minutes. Add broth, hominy, and cumin and simmer, covered, over low heat for 45 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve. I like to sprinkle a bit of cheddar cheese on top. crainbcrainb <crainbcrainb wrote: I am new to the group, live in Australia and must admit that I am a terrible cook.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Potato Leek soup was a big hit in my house. 5 pounds white potatoes, peeled and quartered 6 cups veg broth 2 leeks, (I used the greens and the bulbs) 1 onion a couple cloves of garlic carrots GFCF margarine or Olive oil 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper Saute the onions and garlic. Cooke everything else in the pot. I put everything in the blender after it was cooked... (BE CAREFUL taking the lid off the blender. I burnt my chin when the potatoes " popped " after being churned...) Anyway, it's really good. My kids eat this like they have been starved their entire life when I make this. We also like butternut squash & potato soup, cooked that way. (Replace leeks with squash, and only use about 5 potatoes, and omit the garlic & onion.) Another thing I accidentally made " before the next paycheck " , that was really good, was tossing 2 tbs of olive oil, 1 onion (chopped), and a bit of garlic in a my rice cooker. Saute until onions are clear. Add 1 cup of rice. Cover with onion/oil mixture. Mix for awhile, until rice looks a little tan. Add 3 cups of veg broth. Toss in a package lima beans and some pepper, and let it run it's cycle... my kids realy like that, too. I think I'll be trying this more often with different veggies. If you want it more soupy, add more water/broth. I have been thinking of making this with mushrooms, green beans and a little bit of coconut milk for a creamy dinner... I also just made some tortilla soup... soak 2 cups of beans overnight in a crock pot. (I chose black) In the morning, rinse the beans, add enough broth & water to cover beans. Toss in chopped carrots, onion, garlic, taco seasoning. (I added a can of chopped tomatoes, but you could leave those out.) I also put in green chili peppers... not too much, if you aren't into spicey! Cook until beans are done. In a bowl, crunch up corn chips, pour a ladle of soup ontop. Add some guacamole/avocado slice, and that's it. It was really good... I also do a " mock " chicken and rice... Pretty much just rice, carrots, celery, soy sauce, garbanzo beans and water or broth. The kids really love this. It reminds me of my mom's chicken & rice, but cruelt free That's what i can think of off the top of my head. I don't usually measure anything... I just toss stuff in a pot, and cross my fingers You can't go too wrong with veggies, grains & beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
