soup weather

18 years ago

Made pea soup today with the left over Easter ham and bone. I like to throw just about any left over vegetable in it and then when it is done I puree it all in the blender. I make it differently every time according to what is left over in the refrigerator. Threw in a package of carrots and some left over celery this time. Sure is tasty.

What soup do you like to make from scratch? Any wonderful recipes out there?

Beef vegetable and barley and homemade Tomato are DH's favorites.
I just made chili last night for him to eat when I was gone with DS to pick up Maddie.
We both like homemade Ham soup with the ham bone.
Cheesy Cauliflower I wonder if I got that from Chubby Rat?
Of course Haley's Taco soup is a winner here too!
I love homemade Potato soup, DH isn't crazy about it.

A few weeks ago I made this Cream of Wild Rice soup in the slow cooker and it was good, DD made it and they liked it too. It was quick. I used a chicken breast or two diced up instead of thighs and I poured more evaporated milk into it to thin it a little more when I ran out of half and half.

Slow Cooker Cream of Wild Rice Soup
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (5 thighs), cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
1/4 cup fresh or frozen chopped onions
2 cans (10 3/4 oz each) condensed cream of potato soup
1 can (14 oz) roasted garlic-seasoned chicken broth
2 cups frozen sliced carrots
1 cup half-and-half
1. Place chicken in 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. In large bowl, mix
  wild rice, onions, soup, broth and carrots; pour over chicken.
2. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
3. Stir in half-and-half. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook
  15 to 30 minutes longer or until hot.

Someone who did a temporary fix on the plumbing, had the hot water recirculating into the cold water. Thanks to the plumbing forum, it triggered his mind as to how it could be going on. Consequently, the hot water is fixed. But when he went to install the permanent fix, he couldn't get one of them right and it leaked. So now we have hot water, but the water is turned off. I plan on a long hot bath tonight!

Here too, Linda. I made a big pot of cabbage soup. Froze 6 servings for later use. It was yummy. :) Now that I live alone, I find I can get by with cooking only once or twice a week, since I freeze left overs for later use. The soup makes me have 5 different meals in the freezer again. Moni

Here is another that I think Lynda (Bunnylover) shared and is good! Cheesy Ham Chowder 10 bacon strips 1 large onion, chopped 1 cup diced carrots 3 TBSP flour 3 cups milk 1 1/2 cups water 2 1/2 cups cubed potatoes 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn 2 tsp chicken bouillon granules 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese 2 cups fully cooked ham In Dutch oven or large pot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. In the drippings, saute onion & carrots until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually add milk & water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add potatoes, corn, & bouillon. Reduce heat & simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add cheese and ham & heat until cheese is melted. Stir in bacon. *****I used frozen cubed hash browns, a chicken bouillon cube and frozen corn. Turned out just fine!****

I would not worry much about that sell by date on the carton. If you are concerned, you can keep it in the fridge, unopened. Not sure that it woudl be any real advantage, though. It will be fine for a good time yet. I keep my home canned tomatoes in the fridge in the garage. It is a place to keep them and it keeps them from freezing in the winter. We bought this one without a freezer because we used to buy so much fresh produce and used to keep a lot more food around. It may or may not be of an advantage, but is offers a good storage for our situation. That broth is going to be just fine. sure you will use it in the coming months.
