I made this soup up one night, from whatever I had on hand! The result was so easy and so delicious!! It made me happy, thus the name!! Try it with garlic and crusty French bread, or even cheese bread!! Garnish with grated Romano cheese.
Healthy Soups and Stews
Turkey Frame Vegetable Soup
Turkey frame soup with vegetables and beans is a complete meal that’s extremely low in fat and a great way to use up that turkey carcass hanging around after Thanksgiving, or you can use two fresh turkey legs instead!
Vegan Chunky Chili
If you are entertaining mixed palettes, this meal will satisfy all tastes. A from-scratch chili that uses many different vegetables as well as beans, lentils and tofu to provide that ‘full’ feeling that chili with meat offers. Add fresh parsley and basil to taste, if desired. I prefer to let the chili sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
After the Holidays Ham Bone Soup
A leftover ham bone is simmered with vegetables, macaroni, and rice to create a hearty soup and family tradition after the holidays.
Lentil Lemon Soup
This is a unique and tasty version of a traditional Lebanese lentil soup. Serve with some warm pita bread for a thoroughly filling and nutritious meal!
Easy Vegetable Soup III
This recipe is easy and quick. Just open a few cans of mixed veggies and a jar of spaghetti sauce and maybe some pasta.
Aunt Wanda’s Turkey Carcass Soup
Eat to your heart’s content the day after and/or freeze in several units. Take out of the freezer and heat in the zapper or in a double boiler. Enjoy that T-Day turkey until New Year’s. Despite the name it is a really great soup that my sister’s friend shared with me. This recipe is meant to use up any leftover vegetables and other ingredients; leftover green beans would make a great addition. Celery, onions, spinach and cabbage are tasty, too!
Ukha (Russian Fish Soup)
Wonderful fish soup. Very popular in Russia and easy to make. Try it with pike, perch or salmon.
Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato
This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.
Seafood Gumbo Stock
This stock will give your Seafood Gumbo the richest flavor possible. The addition of fish bones and skins or any leftover seafood will further improve the flavor.

If you like chickpeas and garlic, then you will like this soup. This recipe is from the WEBB Cooks, articles and recipes by Robyn Webb, courtesy of the American Diabetes Association. Preparation time: 15 minutes.
Fish Sinigang (Tilapia) – Filipino Sour Broth Dish
A very simple and quick Filipino dish. This is a sour broth soup with tilapia fish fillets. The flavor is sour but it actually enhances your appetite. This is considered comfort food in my house.
Squash and Apple Soup
This is just one butternut squash soup recipe that I have, but I LOVE this soup. It’s different, and just really delicious.
Vegan Hot and Sour Soup
Vegan version of the Asian restaurant staple. This soup has been a favorite at KZSU barbeques, and will be sure to please crowds at any potlatch. Any extra peas and peppers you may have will go well in this soup. Add near the end if you want to keep their crunch.
