Amazing, fill-your-house-with-an-aroma-to-drool-for, easy chicken soup. The longer it cooks, the better it gets. The best is made by my mother, but the rest of us can make this wonderful facsimile. Easily multiplied, exceedingly flexible – have fun! The soup is quite good after 2 hours, but the longer it cooks, the more mellow the flavor will be. If you can, leave it for as many as 6 hours (this is a good recipe when you’re in the house all day). Serve with croutons or soup nuts, if desired.
Healthy Soups and Stews
Harvested Chicken Stew
Jam packed with veggies as well as chicken breast and tomatoes, this is a healthy, hearty quick stew.
Lentil and Smoked Sausage Soup
A hearty soup, packed with lentils, smoked vegetarian sausage, onion, cabbage, and tomatoes.
Slow Cooker Chicken and Noodles
This is a wonderfully easy soup to cook while at work or on a busy day! This can be ‘soupy’ with more broth; or sometimes I like to thicken the juice with a little water and cornstarch mixture and let cook till thick. Then it is good served over mashed potatoes! Enjoy!!
Thai Chicken Cabbage Soup
This is a low-fat, low-cal soup that’s incredibly filling and delicious. I eat this at least once a week! I don’t know how it tastes cold, though. Don’t be afraid to vary the proportions of various foods on your own!
Spicy Fish Soup
A delicious fish soup that’s low in fat! Having grown up on the Texas/Mexico border, I like foods spicy, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste. I also splash in a drop of hot pepper sauce in each bowl.
Chicken Tortilla Soup IV
Loaded with corn and beans, this soup is hearty enough for a main meal. Save time by topping it with purchased tortilla chips.
Friendship Soup Mix in a Jar
Your friends and family will love you for this! A soup mix in a jar recipe you can give out as gifts!
Garbanzo Tomato Pasta Soup
A VERY easy vegetarian meal in a bowl. The combination of garbanzo beans (chick peas) with pasta creates the complex proteins a vegetarian needs. Very palatable for the garlic and tomato lover.
Pasta e Fagioli I
Rich and savory, a wonderful soup, it can be a meal in itself, serve with garlic toast, its great!
Roasted and Curried Butternut Squash Soup
This is my original recipe and can be either vegetarian or meat based. It also freezes well – just thaw, heat and add cream or yoghurt before serving. It’s delicious and well worth the extra steps of roasting and pureeing. Enjoy!
Black Bean Chili
A chili that is best when prepared with fresh vegetables, but still delicious with canned or frozen. Serve by itself or over rice.
Creamy Italian White Bean Soup
Hearty and healthy soup that is a favorite with friends and family. Sounds more difficult than it is. Try it! We’re positive you’ll be pleased. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
Michelle’s Blonde Chicken Chili
People who have tasted this thick mix of beans, spices and chicken say: ‘So good it’ll make you perky and stupid!’ I’ve placed in my workplace’s annual Halloween chili cook-off for the last three years. Looks strange — tastes great! Serve with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and warm flour tortillas.
Tomato-Curry Lentil Stew
I discovered this one day while trying to use up some leftover canned tomatoes and celery. You could probably double, triple, etc. the ingredients and brew up a whole pot of this. Feel free to use fresh tomatoes too, if you like.
Mushroom Lentil Barley Stew
This crock pot recipe is easy to assemble and needs no attention while it cooks. The flavors blend nicely to give it a wholesome earthy flavor that is unbelievably vegetarian. Serve with garlic bread.
