Feeling like soup today? What's your favourite?

[Guest guest]

It's coolish today (crazy climate!) so I'm feeling like soup for lunch. With all

I've

got going on, I'll probably fix us something quick and easy. One I like uses a

good veg stock plus a tsp of miso for each person plus a pinch of cayenne

and squares of tofu - to which one adds either julienned green beans,

diagonally cut snow peas, or a few leaves of spinach - to be garnished with

finely chopped green onions/scallions or coriander/cilantro as appropriate or

liked;=) Simple and tasty.

 

But what's *your* favourite quick soup????

 

Best,

 

Pat ;=)

My favorite " quick " soup is herbed tomato soup, with dried dill and

black pepper added. Yum

Hey Pat and others!

 

I made a nice big pot of veggie chili last night with black beans, kidney

beans, barley, onions, and collard greens. It got real thick on me and

ended up being more like a bean stew, but it was close enough and YUM!!!

Made some cornbread muffins to go with it. Very satisfying meal.

Yum indeed! Any soup made with tomatoes is a winner in our household. You

can make a wonderful one quite quickly by adding bits of this and that

(y'know, a little celery, a little onion, various spices incl. hot pepper) to a

blender with, say, canned tomatoes (this was to be quick, remember ;=)) - add

tofu for creaminess if you like it that way - etc. and of course, as you say,

dried

dill or herb of your choice (I tend towards basil or cilantro/coriander - in a

bit of

a rut there!).

 

Best,

Pat ;=)

Mmmmm, you just gave me some awesome ideas I absolutely love any

kind of tomato-based soup. Love vegetable soup with big chunks and

loads of flavor Love to add pasta too, actually I find that if I

use spaghetti or spaghettini, the pasta does not soak up all of the

liquid

I love adding fresh salsa ingredients to soups - dried chilis,

chopped fresh tomatoes, chopped onions, green pepper, and so forth.

Of course I love home made salsa, and don't even mind the raw

onions (I really don't like them unless they are chopped super

fine, lol).

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I am going to try to get hubby to

try some of that (with the tofu)

I know that this is a little late but I have a recipe that I

sometimes make as potato soup and sometimes as broccoli soup and it's

easy so here goes.

Stef

 

POTATO or BROCCOLI SOUP

 

6 cups veggie stock of choice

1 cup cubed potatoes OR 4 cups fresh broccoli

1 diced onion

1/4 cup non-fat sour cream

1 cup skim milk

optional: 2 TBSP flour disolved in 4 TBSP water on 2 garlic cloves

 

Throw the veggies in the stock and boil till the veggies are soft.

Whizz up in blender or I use one of those hand blender things. Stir

in milk, sour cream and flour and heat until hot. Season with salt

and pepper and sometimes I like the kick of a little cayenne. Very

easy and practically no fat.
