Lentil Soup III

As a busy college student, I don’t have much time to eat, let alone cook. I’ve been making this soup for myself my whole college career, since it’s a soup my mom made when I was growing up. This soup is illegally easy and incredibly good for you. Eat it up! You can add sliced, shredded, or diced cooked chicken to the soup when it is almost ready. This soup is delicious, but it can be a surprisingly dull color. You can make it more attractive by serving it with a thin slice of lemon on top and a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives.

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili

This is a delicious, filling chili. Serve topped with sour cream and tortilla chips!

Vegetarian Kale Soup

This wonderful soup will warm your insides, delight your taste buds, and fill your stomach on a cold winter’s night. It is full of dark green kale, potatoes, and cannellini beans.

Apricot Lentil Soup

Lentil soup with a sweet-tangy twist. This is great with a warm piece of black bread slathered with creamy butter.

Veggie Vegetarian Chili

Delicious chili with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, corn, and several kinds of beans. Great as a snack or as a whole meal. Can feed an army or keep for days. Serve with a sprinkling of cheese. You may also add a 12 ounce package of vegetarian burger crumbles after the ingredients come to a boil.

Broccoli Soup

My friend’s wife introduced me to this recipe. I HATE broccoli, but loved this soup. I ate every drop. It’s simple and good!

Wonton Soup

A simple, light ‘Chinese dumpling’ classic …whether in soup or fried, wontons will always bring you that mysteriously delicious taste of the Far East …! Garnish with fresh scallions.

Navy Bean Soup I

A hearty soup that will warm you on a cold night.

Miso Soup

Dashi is a basic stock used in Japanese cooking which is made by boiling dried kelp (seaweed) and dried bonito (fish). Instant dashi granules are sold in conveniently-sized jars or packets and vary in strength. Add more dashi to your soup if you want a stronger stock. You can use yellow, white or red miso paste for this soup. Yellow miso is sweet and creamy, red miso is stronger and saltier.

Greek Lentil Soup (Fakes)

Fakes (pronounced ‘Fah-kehs’) is a staple in the Greek kitchen, and an especially filling meal. It is traditionally served with a drizzle of olive oil and lots of vinegar. Though the vinegar is of course optional, try it. It lifts the lentils and adds another dimension of flavor!

Easy White Chili

A very tasty, somewhat spicy, variation of chili that uses chicken. I like to serve it with sweet corn bread.

Vegan Split Pea Soup I

This makes a very thick vegetarian split pea soup. To make it thinner, reduce the amount of split peas or add more water. Depending on the density of split peas, it may take a while for the vegetables and peas to soften, but you can’t really overcook this soup; just stir occasionally, and add water if it gets too dry. Seasonings can be altered to taste. Tastes even better reheated.
