Chicken soup! Chicken stock, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken, salt,
pepper, and maybe noodles or rice. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Soup can be fancy but can also be as simple as using up what there is.
Having read why you don't care for the soups you make, I suggest trying
these things:

1 Start with a sofritto of minced onion, carrot and celery which you will
fry in olive oil or meat fat.

2. Brown any red meat you plan to use in the soup before adding it-- that
can be fried or roasted, and make sure you don't lose any of the fond or
what's stuck on. Deglaze with some wine of any type.

3. Use a wide variety of firm vegetables with the meat and sofritto. Or use
just one, like turnips, amd make a distinctively beef-turnip soup. Add
water and cook slowly for a long time. Go easy on the salt at first,
because if you need to reduce it, or boil it down to increase flavor, you
don't want it to be oversalted. Whole peppercorns do very well in flavoring
broth. Sometimes tomatoes, tinned or fresh-peeled are good in meat soup.
Not every time.

4. Use any starches toward the end of cooking, like potatoes, rice. I
prefer not to leave noodles in because they go pasty, but add them fresh
when reheating.

5. Capitalize on the fresh herbs out there now and throw two or three
handfulls of 2 of them into the broth near the end. I would avoid cilantro,
mint, other very strong ones, but oregano, thyme, basil, tarragon are all
great as well as others.

Reduce the broth until it is as flavored as you like. THEN correct for salt
and possibly pepper, although pepper shouldn't be in every time.

Same ideas apply to chicken soups, but with a lighter hand on the numbers
and types of thing added. Chicken loves more onion, though. Very reduced
chicken broth can be fabulous with cream added and served over rice.

I haven't mentioned garlic because I think people oiften go overboarf and
everything ends up tasting like garlic soup. If you want to try it, use one
whole clove and see if it's a plus. I think most blah soups aren't reduced
enough because they've been salted too early, too few herbs are used and
cooks aren't adventurous enough about vegetable choices.

Yep. Can be made with a minimal amount of chicken, a huge variety of
vegetables, and small investments in time and effort.

Split the squashes down the middle lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and
pulp with a spoon. Brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the

hour
or until tender. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and place into a large
mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, stir together water and stock.

liquid as needed until you have a smooth puree. Pour pureed squash into
a deep pot and bring to a low boil. Season with salt, pepper, onion
powder and tarragon. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook over very low heat
about 1 hour, stirring every so often (say every 15 minutes). Garnish
each bowl with a small dollop of creme fraiche or sour cream if desired.

I adore pinto bean soup... the meatless type. It's just beans,
onions, tomato, garlic and salt to taste at the end (salt brings out a
meaty flavor from the beans). There are a gazillion recipe variations
on the net for you to look at. I like to add lots of cilantro at the
end of cooking - but you may not like cilantro. Garnish with sour
cream, salsa and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro. Serve. I prefer
tortillas with this, but wouldn't turn down home made bread.

For a quick and light soup, gently poach chicken breasts in water with
slices of fresh ginger and scallion. Take out the ginger and
chicken... shred the chicken and return to the broth (salt to taste).
You can make the soup heartier by adding some leftover rice to it, now
you have chicken and rice soup!

Vadalia Onion Chowder

Soups/Chowders/Stews

4 slices bacon -chopped bite sized; -not crumbled
2 tbsp olive oil; or use bacon fat
4 vadialia onions; sliced
2-3 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers); I used 3
4 cloves garlic; minced
2 boxes chicken stock (approx 30 oz)
2 cups corn kernels (I used 2 cans)
2 bay leaf; (optional)
1/4 tsp dried thyme
fresh ground black pepper; LOTS
salt to taste
sour cream; see note*

Fry the bacon crisp. drain well the bacon and reserve. (Used later.)
Heat oil in large pot. low medium to med heat.
Make the onions bite sized, add to pot, cook till tender, about 10 min.
Mince the garlic, add to pot, cook 1 minute or so more.
Add broth, potatoes, corn, bay leaves, thyme. Bring the soup to a boil.
Remove the pot from the heat. Remove the bay leaves. Season with
pepper.
Add sour cream.
*Note add the sour cream just before serving by the tablespoon per bowl.
This freezes better without the sour cream.
Serve in soup bowls, and sprinkle crumbled bacon on top.
this recipe needs more garlic than called for.
Note: I just stirred the crumbled bacon in with the whole batch.
Don't be shy with the garlic.
I used some turkey Stock in with this (excellent.)
Used 5 or 6 sweet onions
6-7 potatoes served as mashed.
I Didn't have vidalia onions so i used locally grown sweet onions
instead.
I added a grated carrot for colour.
I think some brocolli florets might be nice as well
