In The Kitchen

It's the time of year that I crave soup. But I only have a couple recipes for it, Turkey and Ham & Potato. I make a decent chicken noodle, but I have never made a chowder and love them. I have never made any kind of veggie soup either. I have tried split pea, and just don't like it homemade. My DD7 always wants to buy the cute alphabet pasta, but I don't have anything to put it in. I want to eat more veggies, ad get my girls to also, and it seems soup is a good way to get more.

Anyone have good soup recipes to share?

Base is salty, but that is what you are getting in most restaurant meals. Not so great on the sodium/MSG, but good flavor, if you can't do homemade stock.

I just started keeping all my veggie scraps in the freezer so I can make homemade veggie stock. I have always just sent them straight to the composter; not sure why I didn't think of making stock with them first.

This was the recipe of the day in my email this morning:

Looks & sounds soooooo good! Anyone know if I can use Great Northern White Beans instead of cannellini? That's what I have in my cupboard right now.

I would actually use Grest Northern beans anyway, I'm not a fan of canellini beans. Probably because I've only had canned ones and I don't like canned beans. Either one is very mild though, and picks up the flavors of what you put with it. Which is why both make good baked beans.

I kept a pot on the stove in my restaurants, just for the daily scraps, and made stock daily. I quit doing that at home now that it's just me and the dog; not enough scrap to justify it most of the time.

HMMMM...Baked bean soup? I wonder....YEP, found one! This is a happy accident, but sounds like it's worth trying! http://theenglishkitchen.blogspot.com/2009/06/baked-bean-soup.html
