2 Quart chicken stock or broth
1/4 Cup onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 Cup carrots, coarsely chopped
1/2 Cup celery, coarsely chopped
1 Tsp. saffron threads (optional)
3/4 Cup corn kernels
1/2 Cup celery, finely chopped
1 Tblsp parsley, fresh chopped
1 Cup egg noodles, cooked

Combine stewing hen with chicken stock, coarsely chopped onions,
carrots, celery, and saffron threads. Bring the stock to a simmer.
Simmer for about 1 hour, skimming the surface as necessary.Remove

Return the soup to a simmer and serve immediately.

Oh, Shadows, I can just taste that. smile.gif Just get me some dark, heavy-grain bread, fresh sweet butter and a little basket of just-picked apples to go with that.

I made a funny little soup this week -- threw together what was in the fridge, because it went down really chilly after a storm blew through, and the house was actually cold in the morning and I wanted SOUP!

I took an unused packet of chicken broth from Ramen noodles I ate previously, about a quarter cup of hot salsa from a jar (Tostito brand, not too bad. . .), several stalks of the green end of some scallions minced up, some leftover grilled chicken breast, about 2 tablespoons of sliced black olives, and some frozen kernel corn out of the freezer. Thawed and cooked the corn in water with the broth packet to make it soupy, then added the rest and just heated it all through. I have to say I've been snozzy lately with fall allergies, and this bowl of hot sunshine took it right out! Best breakfast I've had all summer -- I ought to do it on purpose sometimes. biggrin.gif

Simple Pinto Bean and Ham Soup

I made and photographed a simple pinto bean and country ham soup. Just a simple recipe for bean soup. I did simmer my ham bone over night on low for about 18 hours before adding the soaked beans. Nothing fancy.

Comments and Edits welcome.

Smells delicious! smile.gif Nice photos.

So -- this is just a simmered hambone and the addition of soaked beans, simmered together? No onion, or anything? Tell a little more about it.

Like I said simple soup.

Ok so technically this is a stew not a soup, but the first time I made it it was kinda soupy. Even though the recipe calls for dried herbs fresh are of course better smile.gif .

2 lb (1.0 kg) boneless lamb cut into large cubes
1 medium to large onion cut into thin wedges
1 bay leaf
1-2 tsp (5-10 ml) salt
1/2 tsp (2 ml) ground black pepper
2 c beef broth
2 c water
2 medium potatoes, cut into small cubes(2 cups)
1 medium turnip,peeled and chopped(1 cup)
1 9 oz (252 grm) package of frozen cut green beans
3/4 tsp (4 ml) dried parsley
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried basil
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried oregano
Preparation:

1. In a dutch oven or large saucepan combine lamb,onion, bayleaf, salt, pepper, beef broth and water.
2. Bring to a boil.

3. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 2 hours.

4. Add the rest of the ingredients.

5. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

6.Adjust the seasonings and serve.

Personal Addition: Add Flour if broth is not thick enough

Potato and Spinach Soup from Irish Fun, Food and Crafts

9 med. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed (6 cups)
2 cans (14 ox each) chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 small red onion, finely chopped
5 oz baby spinach leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper
1/4 tsp black pepper
21/2 cups shredded Gouda cheese, divided
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon garlic, cut into thin slices
5-7 sprigs parsley, finely chopped

Slow Cooker Directions:
1. Combine potatoes, chicken broth, water, onion, spinach, salt and red and black pepper in 4-quart slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 10 hrs or until potatoes are tender.

2. Slight mash potatoes in slow cooker; add 2 cups Gouda and evaporated milk. Cover, cook on HIGH 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.

3. Heat oil in small skillet over low heat. Cook and stir in garlic 2 minutes or until golden brown; sit aside. Pour soup into bowls. Sprinkle remaining Gouda cheese in each bowl. Add spoonful of garlic to center of each bowl; sprinkle with parsley.

I didn't mash my potatoes, I like the chunks better and I cooked it on the stove.
My hubby's not a big garlic fan so I omitted the garlic.

maggiemahone1;

I am the world greatest lover of Home Made Soup. From October to April I live on it. I have many favourites but the one that tops the list is my own concoction I call Kitchen Sink Soup. Everything but the sink goes in it and if I could figure out how to cook Stainless Steel the sink would be in it also.

This is a take on Olive Gardens Tuscana Soup. It is my favorite soup to make and is delicious!!

64 oz. Chicken Broth
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 Large Russet Potato, washed, unpeeled
4 cups Chopped Kale
1 lb Spicy Jimmy Dean Sausage (in tube)
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes


1.Combine broth and cream in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
2.Slice the unpeeled potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise so you have quartered the potato. Slice the sections crosswise into ¼-inch slices and add them to the soup.
3.Add the Kale.
4.Grill or sauté the sausage. When fully cooked and drained, add to the soup.
5.Add the spices and let the soup simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
6.Enjoy

This is really a tasty soup and welcome some feedback on it.

Slàinte!!

Jay

That looks delicious! I love a good lamb stew. I think, if you want to not add flour (nothing wrong with that of course) you could start another smaller potato with the soup at the beginning and fish it out when it's cooked, mash it up smooth, and stir the mash back in to cook down and blend. A little barley is good too, like a real Scotch broth. But just the potato would do it.

(Can I put in a few peas too? rolleyes.gif )
