Any winter soup recipes?
 

Any yummy winter soups for this cold weather? :scarf

I'm falling into a tofu-noodle rut. :lol

Re: Any winter soup recipes?
 

I don't have anything exact. But, I'll share a few off my head.

Potato Soup:
Saute onions and garlic in oil till wilted.
Fill up pot with well scrubbed cut up potatoes.
Cover with a can of coconut milk and some Unchicken broth.

Other options are some curry powder sauted in with the onions or a few drops of liquid smoke.

I like corn added to mine, but some people like peas.

Pumpkin soup:
Saute onion and garlic. Ginger if you want.
Add a can of pumpkin, a can of coconut milk.
Top with Cilantro.

Vegetable Soup:
Saute garlic and onion.
Chop up veggies and put them in the pot. We use fresh veggies for this. Zucchini, brocolli, cauliflower, potatoes, a can of beans, carrots, tomatoes etc. Fill up the pot really full. Then pour in enough water to cover and about 1/2 cup tamari or Braggs. Season with parsley, or thyme.

I want your tofu noodle soup recipe. I always get the little cans and it's too expensive.

Tortilla soup sounds good, too. I just throw cans of stuff in, but here is a recipe.

It's usually canned tomatoes, green chilis, corn, beans and veggie broth. Then I put a handful of chips in the bowl and pour on the soup. Serve with fresh cilantro, tofutti sour cream, chunks of avocado and wedges of lime.

OMGoodness! I am eating this right now and it is SO good! We are packed up for our move next week, and all of my spices are already in boxes, so I just used the coconut milk, potatoes, and onions along with some pepper and then used water in place of the broth. It is SO good! I can't wait for my dh to try it because potato soup is one of his absolute favorites and due to ds' milk allergy he hasn't had any.

Thanks so much, Heather!!! I was wishing I had your phone number so I could call you up and blow you a kiss :lol

Well, I might just have to find a way to get that to you :P~

Isn't it good? It was from the gluten free recipes on the special needs board...I think. I just change it to fit our needs. I wasn't sure how it would taste, but it's so good and easy. My Dad always made potato soup and I was missing it so very much. I'm really loving the coconut milk. Potato soup is such a great comfort food.

Re: Any winter soup recipes?
 

Please, please!!

And, Garnet the onion soup with the beer sounds delish. I'm thinking something really dark with be amazing with that. I never have though about doing that...so maybe that will on the menu this next week. I'm still drinking most of my food :rolleyes

We add barley and it makes the soup really filling. A squirt of fresh lime juice when you serve it up gives it a little kick. :grin

Heather, the onion soups are good with cheeses too, parmesan or guyvere? ( spelling)

I love love love Butternut Squash soup.

Buy a big ole butternut squash, hollow it out like a pumpkin at halloween and bake it at 350 until it falls down
scoop out all the 'meat'
Add milk of your choice....coconut, almond (very good) cow, goat....whatever
several cloves of garlic
Pepper and salt to taste ( I like Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt)
Puree the whole mixture in the blender and serve.

I also like this with a couple of cooked potatos added, and it extends the soup quite a bit.

Re: Any winter soup recipes?
 

This sounds marvellous...can you give me a very rough estimate of how long we're talking in the oven? 30 min? 2 hours?

45min-1 hour.

One of our favorites! I think it would convert easily to a vegan recipe. One tip: I bake the potatoes longer than the recipe says. It helps the flavor to let them "carmelize". I usually cook them about 75 mintues (til they start to run out of their skins). I also think it takes longer than an hour for the soup to cook. The aroma is tantalizing!
