Since the soup is already cooked add diced raw potato and boil it another 15

mins. I think it will help.

Soup Question

I just made split pea soup and I accidently spilt too much thyme into it. I've

added more broth and it's a little better but I have heard that potato soaks up

salt, do you think it would soak up thyme also? My quesiton is....does that

mean, a cooked potato or a raw potato? The soup is already finished.

thanks Jane

drop in a raw potato....don't know if it will work with thyme, but it does work

with salt!

You use a raw potato......add it to the soup and cook it until the potato is

tender but I

don't believe it will work with thyme.....only salt.

Thank you, all that helped me " fix " my pea soup which I had too much thyme in

it! I did add more water, which is never a problem with thick pea soup, and

the raw potato did a fine job of soaking up some of the thyme flavor. It's

pretty good now, and I intend to eat it all!

Chiffonade them which is stacking them on top of one another and rolling them,

cut across the rolls to make ribbons, make them a little thick like half an inch

Soup question

Group,

How is everyone doing today? I'm trying to stay warm. Probably why

my thoughts are on soup, LOL.

I have some fresh turnip greens left and need to use them. I was

thinking about making a lentil vegetable soup tonight and wanted to

know if I could add the turnip greens to it. I'm sure I can, but not

sure if I should steam them first or just cook them with the soup.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hugs,

Mindy

Yum, that sounds good. I'm making mushroom and barley soup tonight.

I would be inclined to cut the turnip greens chiffonade, steam them a bit, rinse

and then add to the soup since they are assertive in flavor. Do you have turnips

too?

Drool. They are good mashed, in soups or roasted.

Tell us how it turns out, ok? There is nothing like soup when it is cold!

I like turnips mashed with mashed potatoes. I'm interested in the greens because

I've never seen them in the store with turnips. I buy beets with the greens,

mainly for the greens so would like the find the turnip greens. Shall try

collards in soup because I'm trying to like them :>)

Diana,

I found the turnip greens in with all the lettuce, collard greens,

mustard greens and stuff like that. I do most of my shopping at

WalMart if that helps you.

Thank you. Guess I thought you could but a bunch of turnips with tops like you

can sometimes find beets. I shall look with the lettuce. The Walmart here

doesn't have produce;

only packaged or frozen food.

Hi everyone,

I am a new member who just recently went vegan (Sept 4 2009). I went " cold

turkey " so to speak and don't miss anything.. yet. I am making one of my veggie

pioneer soup mixes and the additions call for heavy cream. Would soy milk with

a little cornstarch work instead? I use the lowfat silk brand. I am trying to

make things my family will eat in hopes of " converting " them and don't want the

soup to taste too different. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Are there potatoes in your pioneer soup recipe? If the heavy cream is just there to thicken things up, you can mash up some potatoes to act as a base. I was making mashed potatoes a few weeks ago and accidentally added too much Silk (organic unsweetened) to it, so now they were just too runny to pass as mashed potatoes... I really didn't feel like cooking more potatoes to compensate, so I turned them into a soup by adding more Silk, some onions, leeks, garlic, spinach, bell peppers, peas, and corn to it (a vegetable chowder or sorts). My husband isn't what you'd call a "soup guy" (self professed in fact). He says he is reserving his soup-eating days to when he's old and has lost all of his teeth and all he can eat is soup...Hopefully it won't come to him losing all his teeth, but like I said before, though he's not much into soup now, he

actually had some and ate quite a bit of it-not a single leftover (good sign-there was quite a bit there...enough for 6 people at least and there are only two of us)Jenn--- On Sat, 9/26/09, auntyfaye <auntyfaye wrote:auntyfaye <auntyfaye soup question Date: Saturday, September 26, 2009, 11:19 AM

Yes there are fresh potatoes in the soup. I just used the silk and added a

rounded teaspoon of cornstarch. It turned out great!

I will remember the advice about the potatoes. Thanks!!

Hi Carol,

If I remember correctly, Silk makes a coffee "creamer" that may fit the

bill for you. I just spotted it on the supermarket shelf, but I didn't

take a close look at it, so I don't know what the ingredients are.

Regarding Silk brand: the founder used organic soybeans (and high

quality vanilla beans for the vanilla flavored soy milk). But, the

company was sold to Dean foods some time ago, and recently they have

begun to use "natural" soybeans instead of the "organic" variety. (The

price remains the same). Also, I've found that the delicious vanilla

taste is not so delicious anymore. However, I tried the Trader Joe's

brand, and it seems to me that the vanilla tasted even better than the

original Silk formula. So, I've been happily buying the Trader Joe's

brand in the containers that don't require refrigeration until they are

opened. Also, it's organic.

I've been vegan for over two years, now. I too haven't missed meat at

all. Thinking it over, I came to the realization that meat dishes get

the flavor that so many omnivores crave from the vegetable spices and

gravy that are added to disguise the meat taste. A benefit to me from

a fat-free vegan diet is that I'm at what is considered to be an ideal

weight for my height and body structure.........after effortlessly

losing 57 pounds. If you don't already do so, you should supplement

your diet with vitamin B-12, along with any others you may choose to

take. Unless you eat unwashed vegetables (you don't want to ingest

pesticide residue, of course), they won't provide that essential

vitamin. Good luck with your healthy diet choice.

Hi Jenn,

You mentioned that you used "organic Silk" soymilk. The company

proclaims that they still produce the 'organic' besides the 'natural'.

But, I've been unable to find any on the supermarket shelves. Where do

you find it?

(Just curious, as I am quite happy with my newly-discovered Trader

Joe's brand).

It seems that Silk soymilk can be bought in either organic or natural. The natural is non-GMO but does not appear to be organic. The soygurt and creamers are organic.
