Soup recipes

Here is my winter specialty:


Naomi's Tomato, Basil and Lentil Soup

Finely chop and saute an onion in a big pot.
Add a squeeze from a tube of basil
Add one 375g pack of red lentils
Add one litre carton of (salt reduced) vegetable stock
Add one litre of water and extra veg-stock powder to taste
Add two tins of diced tomatoes

Takes 3 mins to assemble - about 25 mins to cook (bring back to boil, then simmer), however it's better the day after. Serve garnished with diced tomato and fresh basil - and HEAPS of pepper.

Awesome...just jumped on to ask for a pumpkin soup recipe and here they are!

Thanks girls...

I made my lentil soup last night but accidentally put corriander in instead of basil - so I added some curry powder and hey presto! I have a whole new tasting soup to add :lol: DD loved it too.

Sal, I make a soup similar to yours but with worcestershire sauce (about a tbsp) and a can of kidney beans added in for good measure.
If I dont have barley i throw in dome risoni or rice instead.

Oh yum, love a curry soup! Have you tried making mock chicken noodle soup with that veggie chicken breast? You can get it at Asian Grocers and the kids love it! And best of all, it's much cheaper (and healthier) than real chicken.:D

Oh thanks Sal - I had never thought of using the mock chicken. Will give it a go and let you know if it's a hit :D

ive just popped a pot of chicken and vegie soup on the stove and the aroma is driving me bonkers :lol: typical of me i just made the recipe up!

I thought since it's starting to get cooler that it would be good to share our favourite soup recipes.

As I'm wanting to try some different recipes this winter.

So what is yours??

Ok so to curb my hunger alot have suggested soup....

Im hopeless at cooking so hit me with your best soup ideas, ingredients and instructions for a blonde :p

Any one got a yummy chicken and corn one????

TIA

I do a really simple chicken and corn soup that my hubby loves -

Chicken Stock (depends on how many people you are serving as to how much you use - I use 3L and freeze a heap for lunches)
1 chicken breast diced
2 tins of creamed corn
1 tin of corn kernels, drained
S & P

Bring chicken stock to a simmer, chuck in the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for at least 20 mins, I usually let it go for at least 1/2 hour.

Very yummy with fresh dinner rolls :D

Here's a stack - https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...p-recipes.html

a nice ham one is:

1 large ham hock
1 parsnip
1 onion
2 potatoes
1 turnip
celery
2 carrots
(what ever other root vegies you want)
soup mix (barly, lentil etc)

bacon stock cubes
salt and pepper and water.

fill a large pan with water and ensure ham hock covered in water and allow to come to boil. Add all vegies and other ingredients and allow to simmer stirring frequently to stop barly and lentil sticking. Simmer for around 2 hours, remove ham hock and cut meat off and put meat back in pain and stir well.

You can liquidise soup if you want it smooth or serve chunky!!!!

Yummo with fresh bread

Ohhhh... my favourite soup is
Pumpkin, sweet potato, leek & coconut milk soup
This is sooooo yummy!

1 tbs oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 small leek, finely chopped
500g pumpkin, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
350g orange sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2 cm cubes
1 lt vegetable or chicken stock (I use chicken)
270ml can light coconut milk (I use coconut flavoured light evaporated milk to make it lower in fat)
3 tbls chopped fresh coriander leaves
Whole coriander leaves to garnish
(you can leave the coriander out of you like)

Heat the old in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion and leek for 3 mins or until soft.
Stir in the pumpkin and sweet potato, add the stock then cover and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegies are soft. Mash roughly with a potato masher.
Stir in the coconut milk and chopped coriander. Season with salt & pepper. Garnish with coriander.

Oh... now I know what we're having for dinner tomorrow night ;)
