Any Soup Recipes

[jessied]

I have been wanting some soup lately. I have the cookbook but was wanting more options. Anyone have any recipes for good and affordable soup

[Angeles]

Chicken soup:
skinned chiken thighs cut in small pieces
potatoes, carrots, some uncoked rice * 1 box of organic chicken borth (the one w/ less ingredients)
parsley, salt.
1-2 cups of water depending on amounts of solids.
boil in medium for 15 min or more until chicken is fully cooked.
other veggies if you want. (corn and cilantro is a good combination for chicken soup too)

Easy boccoli soup:

1 box of organic chicken broth
2 cups of cooked boccoli
1 cup of milk
mix in the blender
add salt and top with some sheddred mozzarella cheese. Pronto!
(This is really a base for any other soup like carrot, potato, squash, etc)

When I make soup I freeze a few servings in separate containers and eat it for the follwoing 2 o 3 weeks when I don't feel like cooking and just put in in the microwave.

The only soup I buy already made is th ebutternut squash organic soup they sell in most supermarkets, it has some spices so I don't shake it before serving it so that the spices go to the botton. I'm able to tolerate that one but squash has some oxalate so I have to make sure I drink enogh water and take caciun citrate afterwards.
I hope it helps. I cook for myself and work fultime so these things work.
Take care

These are easy and you can leave out any or change any of garnishes that you can't tolerate:

Carrot soup
Peel and boil a bunch of carrots in veg broth, chick broth, or just plain water, along with an onion and a piece of potato. Let cool a little and then puree. Actually, if you have one of those hand blenders, you can puree it right in the pot. Let cool a little more and then add fat free milk (make sure the puree is cool enough so it won't curdle the milk). I've also used half and half, reg milk,evaporated milk, plain yoghurt, whatever I have on hand, in lieu of milk....sometimes I just leave out the milk. Just depends on your preference. Garnish with cilantro or parsley or other fresh green herb as a garnish and a little nutmeg. Best served with pumpernickle (SP?) bread if you can tolerate it, or even like it!

Potato soup
Peel some potatos leaving a little skin on them for the good stuff like mom always said , boil in chick broth, or water, along with chopped onions (bulb onions or leeks are best (but plain white onions are fine, too) and celery. Cook till everything is pretty soft. I like to use a hand mixer for this soup, so that it still has chunks, rather than pureeing it in a blender, but you can do that, too,it's just harder to control the consistency If you want it to still have recognizeable chunks, be careful because just one second of blending too much and you'll have babyfood. I like to garnish with chives, fat free sour cream or yoghurt, salt and pepper, and parsley.

Chilled avocado soup...I picked this one up on one of my trips to Mexico. Some of my friends are crazy about it, others not. But it's definitely my favorite summer soup. It's not any harder to make than a smoothie.
Peel and de-seed avocado and put in a blender with fat free milk, salt, and a couple ice cubes. Play with it adding more milk, avocado, salt and ice cubes til you have a chilled smooth creamy consistency that's to your liking. It shouldn't be too soupy. Blend and serve garnished with cubes of canteloupe and a side of some really good whole wheat bread, cut in big chunks.
