Classic Vegetable Stew (Soup) by Salad Foodie

When the craving for veggie soup overtakes me I get the soup pot out and make this classic vegetable stew. The chopping is therapy for my soul, and the taste makes the effort all worthwhile. For a more substantial soup, I often add extras such as black beans and leftover chicken, pork or beef .

Weeknight Minestrone by Salad Foodie

This is a speedy version of the classic Italian minestrone. The food processor does the chopping and bottled marinara saves additional time, without compromising flavorful results. Based on Laura Vitale’s recipe in her cookbook Laura In The Kitchen (2015).

Goulash Soup! by Salad Foodie

Goulash: A mixture of many different elements; a hodgepodge. That description fits this soup to a T .... as in TASTY! Just the week's leftovers married in a flavorful seasoned broth. One of my humblest yet surprisingly successful mishmashes, and we haven't even tasted it the second day! Use my ingredients below as a base, but sub…

Zesty Lentil Soup by Alex Ford

With this recipe, I modified my mother's traditional Lentil Soup recipe with red lentils, fire roasted tomatoes, cilantro and viognier to give a little more flavor and kick.

Soup Du Jour by Phred

We came up with this soup at the end of the garden season. We had an abundance of Banana Peppers and decided to start with them as a base and build a soup from there. It ended up getting alot of request for a second batch to be made when we served it to our friends, so......here's what we came up with.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup with Saffron & Annatto Oil by Bob Vincent

I had a head of cauliflower that needed to be used so I came up with this soup. The saffron adds a nice flavor to the soup and the annatto oil produces a vibrant yellow color. The soup is easy to make and stores well refrigerated. I served the soup with grilled cheese sandwiches and grapes. I chose a Rombauer 2012 Carneros…

A good hearty soup for cold weather. This is from a really old cookbook that I love.

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.…

Three-Green Soup by Rich H

Given a challenge by a friend to create a recipe that would use her four favorite foods - potatoes, brussels sprouts, broccoli and green beans in the same dish, I decided that a soup would be the easiest. This take on a classic winter vegetable stew provides the goodness of a hot, tasty soup to warm the chilly evenings.

Winter Vegetable Beef Stew by Mellie Duffy

This is a stew I like to serve on a cold winter day. It's good comfort food that's loaded with vegetables. I use 96 % lean ground beef so it's low in fat & it's not necessary to drain fat from ground beef & onion mixture which is always messy! I use diced; no salt added roma peeled tomatoes & no salt added beef cooking stock. It…

Halloween Pumpkin Soup by B Innes

A neat "trick" to get the kids to eat dinner before the tick or treating.

Venison Chili by Nancy Jo 'Schmidt' Austin

Our local venison is mild and tender - most deer spend their days munching in corn fields or nibbling people's gardens. This is a really quick dish if you make up packets of the spices in advance.

Green Vegetarian Chili over rice by Rich H

As the seasons change and the evenings become cool it's nice to enjoy a steamy bowl of soup, stew or chili. We decided to make this one a "green event" and used edamame instead of kidney or black beans. We added some chopped kale for a little extra pizazz!
