Answer 1

Easy Lentil Soup

3 tablespoons extra–virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup whipped cream
cinnamon sticks for garnish
1 cup ranch dressing
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 cups (or more) vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups lentils, rinsed, drained
1 14 1/2–ounce jar marmalade

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium–high heat. Add onions, whipped cream, ranch, and garlic; sauté until garlic begin to brown. Add 4 cups broth, lentils, and marmalade and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium–low, cover, and simmer until lentils are tender, about 35 minutes.

Transfer 2 cups soup (mostly solids) to blender and puree until smooth. Return puree to soup in pan; thin soup with more broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if too thick. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of worcestershire or deli mustard, if desired. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with cinnamon sticks.

Answer 2

French Onion Soup with Provolone Cheese!

You will need: A Spanish onion, Worcestershire sauce, a can of beef broth (works with vegetable too if you have any veg-heads to cook for), sharp provolone cheese, old bread for the cruton is optional.


1) Slice the onion into the sized pieces that you would like in soup. Then in a sauce pan start to sauté them with a little olive oil. Once they start to turn soft and translucent add some dashes of Worcestershire sauce (you won't need to add salt).

2) Once the onions are cooked, add the beef broth to the pan. Since it's just liquid, I use a church key to open the can, like a can of juice, and not a can opener since that's just too much trouble.

3) Bring the soup to a boil, then place a large cruton (or a handful of small ones) into the center of a soup bowl, ladel the soup with nice onion pieces over the cturon.

4) Cover the soup with shredded cheese. Melt the cheese under your broiler (it happens fast so check it every 20-30 seconds). You can also melt the cheese in a microwave, but a microwave won't brown it to make the little crispy bits.

Other cheeses you can use are: Fontina, gruyere, or even mozzarella.

This soup was one of the first things I remember cooking. It's an easy impressive treat. If you leave out the cheese and replace it with a slab of tofu, it becomes low-cal.

Answer 3

This one is so good that even my friend's extremely picky kids loved it, and it's very adaptable to many tasty combinations! I've tried extra tortellini, more butter, etc. and it all works!

Spinach Garlic Tortellini Soup

6-8 cloves garlic, chopped
3-5 TBSP butter
4 cans low sodium chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 package (6-8 oz) tortellini, fresh or frozen
1 bag (about 10 oz) spinach
Basil, fresh or dried

Optional:
Chunks of meat, fully cooked. A great use for those leftovers! Almost any kind will work, I find sausage to be best, but I've tried beef, chicken, and turkey too.
Parmesan cheese (reggiano is the best)

Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add the chopped garlic and saute for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add a little dried basil if desired. Add the tortellini and cook about halfway, about 5 minutes for fresh, slightly longer for frozen. Add the diced tomatoes and meat chunks, bring to a boil again. Finally, add the spinach and fresh basil (or sprinkle a little more dried basil), and stir until the leaves are wilted. Serve immediately and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese if desired. Serves about 6-8 people.

Answer 4

Cabbage Beef Soup, it is low in fat and good for you! It is actually something I started eating a long time ago, from Shoney's Restaurant! I know my Mom got the recipe from the Internet, maybe I can find it and give it to you! I know what it has in it!
ground chuck or ground round, canned tomatoes, can kidney beans light and dark, celery, cabbage, salt, pepper, bell pepper, and onion I like okra in mine, but you don't have to put it in! Brown the meat and drain the fat, put all the ingredients together in a big soup pot, put the browned meat in with the other ingredients and cook until the onions, bell pepper, cabbage, celery and okra are tender, about 3-4 hours on simmer. Cook some corn bread and you are ready to grub! I hope you like it, I sure do!!

Answer 5

the easiest to make is my beef and veggie soup
ingredients:
1 lbs beef stew meat (cut them into smaller cubes)
1 bag of the baby carrots
1 yellow onion
2 chopped celery sticks
1 can of peas
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 to 2 cans of tomato paste
1 potato
1 large box of chicken broth
to season the meat:
Worcestershire sauce
MC Cormick all-purpose seasoning or Tony's

optional:
on a separate pot cook some noodles it can be some macaroni noodles or some fun noodles like alphabet noodles

you can do this all in one pot
first you season the meat and then put the pot on high and once pot is heated up brown the meat
once all sides of the meat are brown add the vegetables (the smaller you cut them the faster the soup cooks)
after adding the vegetables add the chicken stock and tomato paste
make sure everything is stirred in
let it cook for 1 hr stir every 10 mins
when soup is ready i like adding some cooked noodles with the soup

Avgolemono: Chicken Soup with Egg-Lemon Sauce

1 (3 pound) free range chicken
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 bay leaves
1 leek, cleaned and quartered
1 carrot, peeled and quartered
2/3 cup aborio rice
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper

Place the chicken in a large pot with 2 quarts cold water, enough to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, skimming when necessary.
In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the onions. Sweat the onions until clear. Set aside.

When chicken is cooked through, remove from the broth. Let the chicken cool and pull the meat from the bones. Dice into large cubes. Set aside.

Add the onion, bay leaves, leek, and carrot to the broth and simmer for 1 hour. When finished, remove the carrot and leek from the broth and add the rice. Bring to a boil and then turn heat to medium high to simmer until the rice is cooked to al dente, about 30 minutes. Add the chicken back into the broth. Add more water if needed.

In a small bowl beat the eggs and lemon juice together. Pour 2 cups of broth slowly into the bowl of egg and lemon, whisking continuously. Once all the broth is incorporated, add the mixture into the pot of chicken soup and stir to blend well throughout. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Answer 10

My Favorite soup is white chili and it is so easy to make:

White Chili
1 lb cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
1 Large jar Randall's Northern beans
1 jar salsa
1 8-oz bag shredded cheese (your choice)

Mix together chicken, beans, and salsa in a pot. Cook over medium heat to a slow boil. Reduce heat and stir in cheese. Continue cooking until cheese is melted. This is really thick and you can add a can of chicken broth if you don't want it so thick.
