Answer 2

Farmer's Market Potato - Leek Soup
Very Easy . . !
2 1/2 pounds potatoes cut-up into equal pieces.boiled in water until tender and then drained. Add to a pot 7 cups of water, 2 Knorrs vegtable bullion cubes, 3 leeks thoroughly cleaned ,use the white part only. Cut up the leeks into 3 inch pieces. add the cooked potatoes, salt and white pepper to taste and 3 bay leafs. (The bay leaves must be removed before the final blending). Cook it in mild simmer for 30 minutes.Then use a boat blender or pour into a regular blender, blend until smooth. Stir in 12 oz. heavy cream (1 1/2 cups)
It's easy delicious, I make it all the time. I live in New Jersey, The Garden State, I prefer the JERSEY FRESH purple potatoes that I get from the farmer's market in the summer time, but store bough Yukon Gold are almost as good.

Answer 3

Check out Caprial Pences recipe for Chicken Noodle soup with roasted red peppers, it is the BEST soup I have EVER made and I'm a soup maker too.

Too long to type here, but it's in one of her books and likely available on line as well. I first found it on the back of a chicken broth carton. I already had her desserts book (use it ALL the time and highly reccomend) - I didn't know she had other books til I saw that recipe. I immediately went out and bought more of her books and have cooked many of her recipes - OUTSTANDING!!

Answer 4

I make "leftovers" soup. Freeze your cooked or raw leftovers til you have a good amount, it could even be scrapings from a skillet, onions, vegetables, pieces of leftover meat , leftover pasta, tomato sauce - there´s no limit. It might take a month or more but eventually there´s a whole bunch of stuff. Make some broth and put it all in - serve with a crispy baguette. Tastes good and helps not to waste food.

Answer 5

Wisconsin cheesy potato soup:
Cook about 4 cups of russet or Yukon gold potatoes in chicken broth until tender, drain and save 2 cups of the broth.
In a kettle pour 4-6 cups of milk in with the broth, slowly add cubes of velveeta or your favorite shredded cheddar cheese, stirring frequently. Season with garlic powder, black pepper and salt if necessary. Add in the potatoes, cubed ham, spicy sausage or canadian bacon and a chopped sauteed onion.
That's the basics. I got a little nuts and add thawed chopped spinach, finely chopped cooked carrots and celery, steamed brocolli and cauliflower...asparagus would be good too, just about any of your favorite veggies. Even lentils might be good in there! YUMMY! Enjoy!
PS. You can use regular canned cheese soup instead of messing with the milk and velveeta.....
PPS. You can peel the spuds or not, your own preference.
