	Chicken and Cannellini Bean Soup by Salad Foodie We've been trying out several soups, chilies and stew variations, and this one grabbed the spotlight. The chicken and beans give this soup the comfort food satisfaction we crave in cooler fall weather. If you reduced the broth this would become white chili, but we opt instead for it as a soup. Note that the beans are undrained on…	2 votes 1 review 4853 views

	Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes…	3 votes 1 review 7719 views

About 9 cups of raw vegetables are needed. When…	1 vote 2088 views
	Sugar Pumpkin Curry Cream Soup by Amos Miller We grow sugar pumpkins and after the harvest, I always break them down and puree them and pop them into the freezer for a long Winter's use.

As you can imagine, this member of the squash family is somewhat sweeter, has fewer seeds…	2 votes 2 comments 4384 views

Fill…	1 vote 4101 views
	Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…	1 vote 1 comment 4847 views
