Favorite Soup Recipes

[aydee]

It's that time of the year again. The leaves are falling, the nights are getting cool. It's the perfect time for soup. Even better, my kids have recently decided that they love soup and want to help me make it. Let's use this thread as a place to post your favorite soup recipes. It's also okay to post a recipe you've stumbled across that sounds yummy but you haven't tried it yet.

Get out the big pots and stir away!

Soup Au Pistou

6 cups water
1 cup each diced potatoes, diced onion, and diced carrots
1 cup dried northern beans, soaked in water overnight
1/2 tbs salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup frozen green beans, defrosted
1 cup diced zucchini
1/3-1/2 cup small pasta (small shells work great)

Add the vegetables and salt to the water and boil slowly for 45 to 60 minutes until the beans are soft but not mushy. Add the green beans, zucchini, and pasta to the soup and cook for about 10 minutes.

While the soup is cooking, make the pistou mixture:

2-3 cloves minced fresh garlic
3 tbs tomato paste
1 tbs dried basil
1 tbs olive oil

In a small bowl, mix the garlic, tomato paste, and dried basil until well mixed. Gradually beat in the olive oil. When the soup is ready, beat some of the liquid into the pistou mixture. Beat in enough soup liquid to completely mix the soup liquid with the pistou. Pour the mixture into the soup, mix, and serve.

This is delicious! Enjoy!

My version of Minestrone

1# Italian sausage
2 zucchini - shredded
2 carrots - shredded
1 onion - finely diced
1 orange pepper - finely diced
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 can of petite diced tomatoes
Equal parts beef broth and tomato juice
1-2TB sugar
Lots of basil, some rosemary, salt, and pepper. Parmesan rinds are great to add if you have them.
***1/2 package of super sweet corn
1/2# of dried, small pasta. I like orecciette for it.

Just cook your sausage, then add everything else in and simmer until things are soft. Add dried pasta and let it cook until al dente and you're ready to eat! Top with some fresh parmesan.


Potato Soup

3 potatoes - diced
1 onion - finely diced
2 carrots - diced
1 stalk celery - finely diced

Saute all in 2TB butter, then cover with chicken broth. When ready to eat add:

1 can evaporated milk
Instant potatoes to thicken it up
Salt and pepper to taste.

It's great with crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese on top!


***ETA: Forgot an ingredient!!!

I made this Butternut Squash soup last week. It was really good, just needed more salt and pepper.

I thought these garlic cheese biscuits were nice with it as well.

Love this thread!

This is my absolute fave:

It has a nice heat from the cayenne. I add a full package of bacon instead of the few pieces she calls for, because duh 😆

This Moroccan lentil soup is a hit with everyone, and pretty quick! feedmephoebe.com/moroccan-red-lentil-soup-chard/

tmclawchick, I'm going to try that Moroccan red lentil soup this weekend. It looks so good!

I like this butternut squash coconut curry soup. I cut up and cube the squash before it's cooked, put it in a Dutch oven with the apple, onion and olive oil, and bake at 375 for about 45 minutes before bringing it to the stove top and adding spices and broth. I use 1 teaspoon garam masala, and 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder, and puree with an immersion blender.
