5. Delicious and Nutritious Mixed Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

I make this soup whenever I have fresh vegetables at home. Also my favorite recipe as I do not like the taste of corn starch or any other thickner in my soup.

Chop the Spinach, carrots,Asparagus finely. Cut potatoes into large pieces, into not more than 4 pieses per potato, as we want big pieses of potatoes. Boil all the veggies in a large stock pot with the water and a pinch of salt, until the vegetables get soft. Then pick out the boiled pieses of potaoes and blend them with the tomato and 1/4 cup water in a blender. Put the potato - tomato paste in a non-stick pot and saute for 10-15 mins on a low heat until it gets roasted and dry. Then add the boiled vegetables with the water to the roasted paste and let simmer for another 5 minutes. Add more water if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a dash of pepper.

Can Substitute spinach with cabbage . Can add other fresh vegetables like green beans, spring onions, beetroot....

13. Double-Mushroom Barley Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

1. In 6-quart pressure cooker, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add vegetable broth or heartier vegetable stock, barley, fresh and dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, bay leaves, dillweed, salt, and pepper.

2. Lock lid into place; heat to high pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to just enough to maintain high pressure and cook 18 minutes. Let pressure drop naturally (see "Releasing Pressure") or use quick-release method. Remove lid, opening it away from you, to allow any remaining steam to escape.

3. Discard bay leaves from soup and add more dillweed, salt, and pepper to taste. Soup will thicken considerably on standing. Thin to desired consistency with additional vegetable stock.

Note: *1/2 ounce (generous 1/2 cup) sliced dried mushrooms, soaked if necessary. Some dried mushrooms must be soaked to remove sand and grit. In a small bowl, combine mushrooms and boiling water to cover by 1 inch. Cover and set aside until soft -- 15 to 30 minutes. Lift out soaked mushrooms, rinse carefully, and cut away any gritty sections. Strain the flavorful soaking liquid through cheesecloth or a coffee filter and use it in place of part of the vegetable broth called for in the recipe.

SUBSTITUTIONS: *safflower or canola oil *coarsely chopped onions or thinly sliced leeks (white and light-green parts)

TIP: *Halve the carrots lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise.

26. Barley and Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

In response to the person requesting barley soup recipes: I saw this today on the Ask Dr. Weil website at www.drweil.com.

It called for 2 tablespoons olive oil which I substituted with broth or wine to saute the veggies in (or a slight nonstick oil spray ). I would probably use a pretty flavorful veggie stock since the seasoning in this recipe is minimal...

Barley has been cultivated since the Stone Age and has been fermented to make beer since not long after that. Like other cereal grains -- wheat, millet, oats, corn and rye -- barley is a great source of fiber and carbohydrates, and can also be used to make cereal, bread and soup. Folk medicine uses barley in barley water, made by simply soaking barley in water, which is reputed to be a great tonic during convalescence. "Pearl" barley is the name of the grain when it's been polished, after the husk and bran have been removed. It's the form most commonly used in soups. Grains like barley keep well. Their bulk and comparative cheapness make them a useful staple, especially at this soup-worthy time of the year, so be sure to keep some in your cupboard.

In a saucepan, combine the barley and 3 cups of vegetable stock. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat the saute liquid in a large pot and add the onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cover and sweat the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Add the remaining vegetable stock and simmer 30 minutes, covered.

Add the barley and simmer 5 minutes more. Add salt to taste and ladle into bowls. Serve garnished with some chopped fresh parsley. Posted to fatfree digest V97 #285 by Kelly_Carney[at]amat.com on Dec 4, 1997

NOTES : A hearty soup that improves as it ages. Make it in the morning or the night before so it will have time to thicken.

Serve sprinkled with a little fresh dill and cheese - OR - to create a sunburst effect, garnish instead with a spoonful of yogurt and pull the tip of a knife through to look like the sun.

31. Easy Vegetable Lentil Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

In a very hot dutch oven (preferrably non-stick), heat the sauteeing liquid, and saute the onion, red or green bell pepper and celery. Stir often to avoid burning but let them caramelize. Once they begin to get translucent, add the garlic, carrots, and brocolli stems. Saute for a few minutes.

Add the rinsed, drained lentils, and 1/2 cup v-8 juice and 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth. OPTIONAL: add vegetable bullion at this point if desired. Add salt and pepper to taste and a tiny pinch of the crushed chipotle pepper. Note: You don't have to use salt at all...I use tiny bits of kosher salt in this soup...no more than 1/4 tsp for the entire recipe.

Let this mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the diced potato and frozen corn. Add 1 cup each v-8 juice and water. Taste the mixture and add more salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper.

Let this simmer for 10 minutes. You may need to add more liquid depending on how thin you like the broth. The soup is done when lentils are cooked but not mushy and potatoes are firm but not mushy.

Serve with home-made whole wheat bread.

Options: Use sweet potato in addition or instead of the red potato. Add 1/2 box frozen chopped spinach. Use tomato sauce instead of V-8 juice. Posted to fatfree digest V97 #005 by "Judith E. Thomas" <jethomas[at]mailbox.syr.edu> on Feb 20, 1997.

Wash squash well, peel and use the peelings in the stock. Chop the squash into 1" pieces, discarding the seeds. You should have about 4 1/2 cups chopped squash. In a large soup kettle, saute the onion, ginger and garlic in vegetable oil. When the onion softens, add the squash and saute for 5 more minutes. Add stock and cover pot. Simmer over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes. Add miso, salt, pepper and orange juice. Puree soup in a blender in batches, if necessary, until smooth. Add cream. If the soup is too thick, add more soup stock. Serves 4 to 6. Date: 23 Nov 1996 17:54:49 GMT Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #007

36. Basic Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

* Use about 6 cups liquid. You may mix chicken and beef broth (canned lowfat, not bouillon cubes) with water and tomato juice or vegetable juice cocktail to suit your tastes.

1. Melt 4 tablespoons margarine in skillet. Add the chopped green peppers, carrots, celery and onion. Saute on low heat until vegetables are softened and onion browned lightly. Add this to the broth mixture which has been placed in a large, heavy pan with lid. 2. Add to this the potatoes, green beans, lima beans and corn. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until all the vegetables are done. Add the salt and pepper. 3. Remove about 2 cups of the mixture and put into blender. Puree this mixture and return to pot with rest of soup. Turn off heat and cover soup. Best if allowed to set for up to 1 hour to blend flavors. Since this is a basic recipe for soup, you can add the vegetables you prefer and follow the directions above to finish the soup. Some suggestions: Add bay leaf, shredded cabbage, chopped zucchini, diced turnips, fresh tomatoes, okra or parsley. For added nutrition, serve with a sprinkling of lowfat cheese on the hot soup. Also good sprinkled with toasted croutons. This stores very well in refrigerator and is actually improved with time.

37. Any Vegetable Soup

Directions

From: destowe[at]usa.pipeline.com (Donald E. Stowe (Don), Kalamazoo, MI) I'm new to this digest. The favorite around our house is Any Vegetable Soup, especially when I do the cooking. Here it is:

PLACE all the ingredients in a soup pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until the vegatables are tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.

We used 2 cups of carrots, 2 cups of celery, 2 cups onions, 2 cups of potatoes, 2 or 3 cups of cabbage, 1 can of corn (2 cups). We used the liquid from the canned corn and the remainder water (about 9 cups of liquid). We used the oregeno one time and and the basil about five times. I prefer the basil.. We also used 1 teas. onion powder and 1/2 teas. garlic powder. We use a generous amount of black pepper to give the soup some zing.

38. Carmen's Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

Slowly cook bacon in large pot. While bacon is cooking, saute in its fat the vegetables. (Amount will depend on your taste). Meanwhile, boil water in large kettle, adding soup bone, soy sauce and worcestershire to taste. (As this is a soup that will never be the same twice, experiment and add herbs and/or condiments as you wish). When meat is tender, add to bacon and vegetable mixture. Season to taste with herbs and spices. Simmer slowly for at least 2 hours, tasting frequently to correct seasonings. (Note: a secret to this hearty soup is that it does not have tomatoes or tomato juice). Water may have to be added, depending on amount of vegetables included.

46. Four-Day Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 8 Cups

Ingredients

Directions

Put all the vegetables and the rosemary in a deep pan. Cover with water and add salt and pepper to taste -- about 1 tblspn salt and 1 tspn pepper. Bring to a boil gradually over low heat. Cover pot and simmer the soup gently for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until all the flavors are well blended. Taste and correct the seasoning. Serve with crackers, cheese, or whatever you'd like. * Examples of variations * First day: Enough soup for four people. Serve as described above. Second day: Add to the remainder another couple of peeled and chopped tomatoes, a few leaves of finely chopped spinach, another zucchini, and a few leftover cooked chickpeas. Add a bit of grated lemon rind and a touch of onion about 10 minutes before serving. Third day: For lunch, the soup is good cold with a dollop of creme frai'che. Fourth day: Add 2 or 3 peeled and diced beets, another cup of finely chopped, cooked cabbage, 3 or 4 more mushrooms, and if any, a little left over vegetable broth cooked from another day. NOTE: Of course, if you have some chicken or vegetable broth you can add it to the soup. The secret is to have variations of color, texture and flavor.

49. Convenience Vegetable Soup

tag: vegetable soup

Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients

Directions

One of my favorite meals is a thick vegetable soup with some whole grain bread and some FF cheese - so here's a great thick vegetable soup that is easy to do. It's adapted from Lean Luscious and Meatless by Bobby Hinman.

In a large (at least 6 quart) soup pot, combine all ingredients EXCEPT PASTA and VINEGAR and SOY SAUCE. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Use a spoon to break up large clumps of frozen vegetables (ignore the spinach - it will separate by the time the soup is cooked). Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes. Add pasta, cover and cook 15 minutes more stirring, every 5 minutes (the pasta tends to stick on the bottom - I find a wide spatula does a nice job).

Add 1 Tablespoon Balsamic vinegar and 1 Tablespoon Lite Soy Sauce and the soup is read to serve or freeze. Posted to fatfree digest by "Richard M. Swanson" <sharpy[at]sedona.net> on May 31, 1998
