Senate Bean Soup

Senate Bean Soup by Salad Foodie

U.S. Senate Bean Soup is served in the dining room of the United States Senate every day in a tradition that dates back to the early 20th century. The basic recipe is made of navy beans, ham hocks and onions, but variations abound. This version is typical, with the addition of potato, celery and garlic. Serve with a slice of corn…

This is a dish I make at the end of the gardening season and everyone loves it !! I use my scallions that I have left in the garden and allowed to grow quite large. I only use the white part as you would for leeks

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder by Salad Foodie

We never wait for fall for this favorite of all chowders, but enjoy it year round. A good way to use up leftover roast chicken, and the ingredients go together quickly for a fast weeknight dinner. Can be lightened by subbing fat-free half and half, or a 12 ounce can evaporated milk for the cream.

Cilantro Lime Taco Soup

Cilantro Lime Taco Soup by Robyn Medlin

Well, I may be “Grill Girl” but I still use my stove top from time to time just to make sure I remember how. This week we got hit by a tropical depression so the grilling conditions were less than ideal. However, it was the perfect time to be cozy inside and make this hearty soup. Here’s a little secret you don’t have to tell your…

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup

Mediterranean Beef Minestrone Soup by Salad Foodie

This feeds a crowd and then some. Hearty and healthy. Start this slow simmering soup early afternoon to have it ready for dinner, so there's time to develop the flavors. Or better yet, cook a day in advance and let the flavors sing next day. I take time to cut the meat and veggies in small pieces as this is a soup, not a stew, and the…

Crock Pot Chicken Stew

Crock Pot Chicken Stew by Salad Foodie

The perfect Sunday evening supper, this basic stew is pure comfort fare! What I enjoy particularly are the ease of preparation, large chunks of chicken, and the light yummy gravy. Based on a recipe from Taste of Home Magazine, this recipe uses boneless skinless chicken thighs. I have used a meaty turkey thigh in place of chicken:…

Herbed Duck Broth with Wild Rice

Herbed Duck Broth with Wild Rice by Amos Miller

Take most of one duck, some fresh herbs, the flavors from a few vegetables and simmer. Voila! It's that simple. Almost. This recipe employs one duck, but you will be able to serve each of 6 to 8 diners a lovely bowl of this 'soup course' delight. What we have here is not a consomme, not a soup, and not really, by classical…

Greek Beef Stew

Greek Beef Stew by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious ethnic variation on classic beef stew. I think the cinnamon gives it a unique and delicious flavor. Adults and kids we have served this to both loved it. I adapted this from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs

Crock-Pot Maple Mustard Sauced Turkey Thighs by Robyn Savoie

The cool weather has finally arrived. Goodbye fresh corn and tomatoes, and hello stew! This is great in a crock-pot but if you don't have one, this is easily adaptable to the oven. The trick to slow cooking is to brown the meat first, before you put it in the slow cooker. You’ll just get more flavor that way. Turkey is a…

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup by John Spottiswood

Cooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period. I adapted this from an America's Test Kitchen recipe and used about half the beef they called for and added the mushrooms. If you have big beef…

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Crock Pot Beef Stew by Carolina Create

Delicious comfort food...homemade beef stew in the crock-pot. My kids will eat this when they won't eat vegetables. This makes a huge 6 quart crock pot full, so adjust it if you need less.
