Zuchinni Soup- Boil 3-4 zuchinnies in water and when soft, blend with a hand blender and add spices (garlic, onion, salt, pepper)

You can do the same with potatoes, and sweet potatoes just add a little chicken soup mix for flavor.

Split pea soup is easy too, just boil water with a bag of split peas and add salt.

onion soup

saute a bunch of onions-depending on how big the pot is (I usually fill 3/4 of the pot and I like it to have lots of onions)
u can saute them directly in the pot
then add water, a tbls or 2 of flour and some spices-salt, pepper, a bit of chicken soup mix
and let it boil
its great with homemade croutons, or store bought ones
and cheese

CATEGORY: SOUP
Cheapskate Tomato Soup
Quick and easy! Gleaned from one of the cheapskate magazines . . .
6 oz. tomato paste in can
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. celery seed
24 oz. milk - refill tomato paste can four times
Put tomato sauce in small saucepan. Add milk, salt, celery salt. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Of course, you can double or quadruple the recipe, depending on how much tomato paste you have . . . and people to serve.

CARROT GINGER soup

Peel and cut up a package of carrots. Sautee in 2 T oil along with two cut up stalks of celery, a big zucchini, and two onions.

Add a big chunk of ginger or 1 T ground ginger or both, if you like a zingy soup. Add 6 cups of water and bring to boil. Let simmer 20 minutes or until all veggies are tender.

Add 1/2 cup rice (leftover is okay) and 1 cup milk or soymilk. Let simmer another ten minutes and puree with blender and add 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste. Serve, eat, and enjoy!

Creamy Zucchini Soup
Adapted from the Arcman Chef of Tidewater, VA
Simple & quick! Recipe halves, doubles and triples easily. Freezes well.

Sautee two large sliced onions and four cut up garlic cloves in a small amount of oil.

Add 1 tsp of bay leaves and some parsley (dried or fresh), salt and pepper to taste.

Add 4 lbs. (about four large) cut up zucchinis to mixture. Peeling is optional (the peels add a lovely green tint to the soup).

Add two cups water or broth, and a cup of dry white wine. Bring to a boil and then let simmer until zucchini is soft.

Mash zucchinis with potato masher, hand blender, or leave chunky. Serve, eat, and enjoy!

"chicken soup stew"

chicken legs (because they make a clean broth)
barley
sweet/ white potato sliced or chunked
carrots , big chunks
anything else you want to get rid of, any herbs you like in your soup.
Put up in the afternoon, simmer till supper.
I like to do this because its a whole meal.

I also used to save the wings from my chickens and make "mini soups" with them.
I would just boil them, and season the broth with soy sauce and float some green onions on top.

cream of broccolli soup:

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

add 2 cups or more of Pareve 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)

Blended Vegetable Soup (we had it for dinner tonight)
Saute tiny onion powder and garlic powder in little oil. Prepare whatever vegetables you want your family to eat, but don't want them to know that they are eating it. Dump into pot on top of sauteed spices. Cover with water. When boils, add salt, pepper, some more onion and garlic spices. When vegetables soft, blend. Serve. It is the only time of the week when my kids eat broccoli and cauliflower and whatnot, cuz it's blended and they don't know what they're eating. Tonight's soup had:
Potatoes
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Broccoli (Bodek Frozen)
Cauliflower (Ditto above)
I don't add squash cuz my husband is allergic to it, but it certainly adds flavor.
Delicious, wholesome, and simple.
