Answer 3

Homemade chicken soup with or without noodles is great.
My easy version is to place a whole chicken in a large pot just cover with water & simmer on low for about 3 to 4 hours I then remove the chicken from the pot to cool & I then add one onion chopped & two or three cloves of garlic chopped or a few spoons of garlic powder & two or three chopped stalks of celery & add about a pound of diced carrots some salt & pepper to taste. Let simmer while you debone the chicken. If adding noodles I always add about 2 cups of wide egg noodles & let them cook for about 8 minutes before I add the chicken back in. All you do is cook till noodles are done & enjoy.

Answer 4

Onion soup is easy...finely chop, in slices 2 sweet onion (Valida, or Spanish).
Saute in a little butter until softened add 2 tbsp of flour stir to coat onion.
Add 6 cups of water and flavour with veggie stock powder (or use liquid stock)
Bring to boil, reduce heat, stir occasionally, let simmer 15 minutes.
Optional will be to add 1/4 cup sherry or dry red wine.
Now you can eat it plain or turn it into french onion soup

Answer 5

That carrot soup sounds good.

I make potato soup.

melt 2 pats of butter in a cooking pot on low heat.
add 1/2 cup of chopped sweet onion. Saute.

optional: add one slice of chopped ham, turkey or chicken at the end of cooking the onion.

add 2 cups of water. Place heat on medium.
add 3 fist size chopped potatoes.
add 1tsp. Italian herbs, 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper.
When the potato's are soft, lower the heat.
add 1 cup of cold water with 2 tsp of rice flour, cornstarch, or white flour mixed in. Stir as you mix in the milk.
This should thicken and give you a nice creamy potato soup.
Serves 2-3 depending on how large a bowl you use and if you are having a sandwich with. Add salt to your individual bowls if you need.

Use this recipe and replace the potato with broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, or pumpkin, etc. or a variety of vegetables.

Answer 6

any soup is easy to make from scratch

but my favourite is pea soup

boil 500g of frozen peas in half a litre of vegetable stock til cooked
then blend this to a liquid

bring back to the boil
serve with some olive oil drizzled on top and some shavings of parmesan cheese

it is low fat and really delicious and only takes seconds to prepare

Answer 7

Mixed vegetable soup.
Vegetables of your choice, dice or chop and cook in water to cover, add more water (and a stock cube if liked) or stock and herbs and seasoning to taste.

If using a microwave cook vegetables with a little water first, then add the rest.

Have chunky or liquidise, potatoes in the soup will act as a thickener if liquidised.

Leek and potato in chicken stock, or chicken stock cube is nice.
