Any good soups out there?

Question

My friend is opening up a small company of selling homemade soup to places like schools, care homes, cafeterias, as well as to individuals. Any good soup ideas/recipes you guys got? (I suggested jumbalya).

Answer 1

Some of my favorite soup recipes-

Black Bean Soup
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup diced white onions
3/4 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 (15 ounce) cans black beans
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium/low heat.
Add onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic to the oil and simmer slowly (or"sweat" as it's called), for 15 minutes or until the onions are practically clear.
Keep the heat low enough that the veggies don't brown and be careful not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter.
While you cook the veggies, pour the canned beans into a strainer and rinse them under cold water.
Measure 3 cups of the drained and strained beans into a food processor with 1 cup of chicken stock.
Puree on high speed until smooth.
When the veggies are ready, pour the pureed beans, the whole beans, the rest of the chicken stock, and every other ingredient in the list (down to liquid smoke), to the pot.
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes or until soup has thickened and all the ingredients are tender.

Vegetable Barley
3/4 cup pearl barley
11 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
salt
1/2 bunch fresh parsley

In a saucepan, combine the barley and 3 cups of vegetable stock.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pot and add the onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms.
Cover and cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add the remaining vegetable stock and simmer 30 minutes, covered.
Add the barley and simmer 5 minutes more.
Add salt to taste and ladle into bowls.
Serve garnished with chopped fresh parsley


Creamy Potato Soup

6 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped in large chunks as for mashed potatoes
1/2 cup onions, chopped
6 tablespoons butter
3 ounces cream cheese
2 cups milk (approximately depending on type of potato and time cooked)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Add potatoes and onions to boiling water.
Cook about 15-20 minutes until done.
Drain and return to pot.
Lightly mash, leaving it as chunky as you like.
(I prefer mine fairly smooth with small pieces here and there.) Return pan to medium low heat and add butter, cream cheese and milk, stirring until butter and cream cheese melt.
Add all other ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally until parmesan cheese is melted.
Adjust salt and pepper.
If soup is too thick add more milk and if it is too thin add more cheese.

Answer 3

Pumpkin Soup

Yield: 4-6 servings

This is a tasty recipe. Ingredients are approximate and can be adapted to your preference.

2 Tbs. margarine or butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
pumpkin, cut in chunks - about 3 cups
3-4 cups milk
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
nutmeg, to taste
parsley flakes, to taste

Remove top of pumpkin and clean out seeds. Place pumpkin in microwave for about 5 min. on high. This will enable you to cut it more easily. Cut outer skin off and cut into chunks. Put aside.

In a large pot melt margarine or butter. Sauté onion and celery until tender. Pour milk into pot and heat slowly. While milk is heating, put in the pumpkin chunks. Allow to simmer for about 20 minutes until pumpkin is tender.

Add seasonings such as salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley flakes.
