cream of broccolli soup:

saute one small onion, until translucent- then add garlic minced (I add garlic powder)

add 2 cups or more of chicken broth- let it boil

add 1 pound or so of frozen chopped broccolli- let it cook for 5 minutes or so

add 1 cup milk, let cook 3-5 minutes

I then use a hand blender to process a little bit, but it isn't necessary.

When serving I put 2 spoons of shredded cheddar cheese in each bowl and pour the soup on top of hte cheese. The cheese melts nicely and adds some extra flavor to the soup.

(you can also add the cheese when adding the milk, I don't do that becuase we usually have some leftover and I'd rather put in new cheese hte next day)

Hey I made this, it was really delicious and really easy and quick to make thanks!

I don't doubt that you're speaking about a parve chicken flavored broth, but posters should really be clear about this ; v'heyisem n'kiim!

I don't have time to type it out but the potato soup from the Heimish Cookbook, volume 1 in the beginner's section is really easy.
Basically saute onions, add a little flour. Add about 8 cups water, 6 potatoes cubed, salt and pepper and cook until potatoes are soft.

I am looking for soup recipes with no "chicken broth" or "soup mix" ingredients, just water and veggies and meat and grains, all from scratch... there are some here, anyone want to add more?

Dini,
I've made all kinds of cream of vege. soups. Just use any vege, instead of broccoli. I've done cauliflower, onion, corn, tomato, zucchini, (although I don't make the zucchini, bec. it's much easier to make the reg. zucchini soup listed, and DH loves it!)
The way I make my cream soups is:
Saute onion. Add garlic, salt, pepper. Add the diced vege. and sautee until soft. Add flour & mix well. Slowly add milk, mixing the whole time to creamy. Turn off burner.
Most of the soups I blend with a handblender, and then return to flame just to boil again.

It takes time to give water a good soup taste. they might be easy recipes but not all that fast cooking.

This is true if you are making a traditional vegetable soup that is broth with pieces of veggie sfloating in them but I make pureed veggie soup all the time for dinner and I basically just cook it long enough for all the veggies to be soft and puree-able, (but not always if pressed for time).

The big secret is to make sure that you use only a little water and a lot of veggies. In general that will always make a delicious soup. You can also make it with shreadded veggies from the FP and not pureee the soup. It helps to sautee the veggies at first but often I don't. After pureeing (or when the veggies are fully cooked for shreadded veggie soup) I add spice according to taste and mood.

Standard sou pin my house is onions, carrots, and kishuim (zucchini) blended with salt, pepper, garlic and basil added, but I do sometimes change the spices. This week I made shreadded carrot soup (just carrots and onions shreadded, sauteed and then boiled) seasoned with cilantro and cumin along with the salt pepper and garlic.
