http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/chowder/sds-cornchow-coll.html (4 of 6) [12/17/1999 12:01:40 PM]
Place the corn in a large (4 quart (4 liter) saucepan. Pour in 1 cup
(1/4 liter) of the water, and the chicken broth. Place on low heat,
bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minues. Stir occasionally.
In the meantime, boil the potatoes in the remaining 1 1/2 cups (375 ml)
of water until tender, or for about 15 minutes. Drain. Gently cook the
chopped onion in 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of the butter, without browning,
until soft (about 10 minutes). Add the onion, well-drained potatoes
and hot milk to the corn. Puree this mixture in a blender, a cup or
two (1/2 liter) at a time, running for 1 minute at low speed and another
minute at high speed. Place the puree in the top of a very large double
boiler. Season to taste with salt and pepper and a dash of cayenne.
Place the pot over boiling water and heat the soup thoroughly. When
the mixture is scalding hot, stir in the heavy cream. Place the
remaining tablespoon (15 ml) of butter in a soup tureen, pour in the
chowder and serve at once.
Corn Chowder

2 tsp instant bouillon granules (or 2 cubes)
1/4 tsp pepper

2 Tb all-purpose flour
If using fresh corn, use a sharp knife to cut off just the kernel
tips from the ears of corn, then scrape the cobs with the dull edge of the
knife. (You should have 2 cups corn.)
In a large saucepan, combine corn, pototo, onion, water, bouillon,
and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10
minutes or until just tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of
the milk and the margarine or butter. Combine the remaining milk and flour.
Stir milk-flour mixture into corn mixture. Cook and stir till thickened

Cream of asparagus soup with Morels
From: r.gagnaux@chnet.ch (Rene Gagnaux)
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 1993 12:00:00 +0100
Fredy Girardet: 'I like to serve a light little soup at the start of a
meal. In a menu of four or fives courses, this is one of the best soups for
sharpening the appetite'.
Servings: 4
8 Thin green asparagus spears
6 Fat green asparagus spears,
-- about 10 cm (4 in) long
1 Shallot, medium-sized
100 g Fresh morels (3 1/2 oz) or
-- 15 g (1/2 oz) dried ones
100 g Unsalted butter (3 1/2 oz)
200 ml Double cream (scant 1/2 pint
Salt
Pepper
Preparation
Clean the asparagus spears and cook the thin ones for about 5 minutes and
the fat ones for about 10 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain both
kinds and reserve the water in which they cooked. Cut off the tips of the
eight thin spears and set them aside for the garnish.
Peel and chop the shallot finely. Wash the morels CAREFULLY and cut them
into quarters (if you are using dried ones, soak them in water for at
least half an hour before this step).
Heat half the butter in a saucepan. Add two-thirds of the chopped shallot
and colour in the butter. Add the six fat asparagus spears and 200 ml (a
scant 1/2 pint) of their reserved cooking water. Bring to the boil.
Add the cream and reduce it by boiling fast for 2 minutes. Liquidise the
soup with 30g (1 oz) of the remaining butter. Wash out the saucepan.
Strain the liquidized soup through a fine sieve. Season with salt, pepper
and cayenne, and return it to the cleaned saucepan. Set it aside.
Finishing
Reheat the thin asparagus tips by warming them through in a little of
their cooking liquid. Reheat the asparagus soup.
Cream of asparagus soup with Morels
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/cream-of/cream-asp.html (1 of 2) [12/17/1999 12:01:55 PM]
Put the morels, the rest of the chopped shallot and the remaining 20 g
(3/4 oz) butter into a small saucepan. Season with a little salt and cook
gently. The morels will excludea little liquid. Leave them to cook until
they have given off all their liquid, at which stage they will be done.
Take them off the heat.
Serving
Put a ladleful of the soup into each soup-plate. Garnish the centre of
each one with a share of morels and two asparagus tips.

Cream of Broccoli Soup
From: mnneely@ucdavis.edu ()
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 1993 21:56:13 GMT
Hello everyone. This is my first time posting to this tasty group. A
couple of days ago I created what I thought was a yummy soup...
2 bunches broccoli, stalks removed
2 parsnips, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 large onion, diced
3/4 pound of mushrooms, diced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of white wine
1 pint of whipping cream
1 pint of lowfat plain yogurt (or about 2 individual sized tubs)
1 T of dried basil
2 T nutmeg
1 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce
4 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION TIME: about 45 minutes
MAKES: about 20 servings
Put vegetables in BIG pot and cover with wine and water. Bring to a boil
slowly and let simmer until vegetables are soft. Puree (a hand blender is
handy). Add remaining ingredients, stirring while doing so. Let simmer
for a few minutes before eating. Feel free to play around with the
seasonings. I cook by taste so the amounts are guestimates!

Cream of carrot soup
From: gisselbr@husc8.harvard.edu (Stephen Gisselbrecht)
Date: 1 Sep 93 19:43:38 EDT
2 lbs. carrots
2 medium potatoes
3 or 4 large onions
1-2 *fists* of garlic (not cloves!)
~1 T dried thyme
~2 t ground coriander seed
~2 t ground ginger root (less if you don't like hot food)
~1/2 t black pepper
~1/2 t ground cardamom
~1 C good red wine
1 C sour cream
salt to taste
Peel and dice the first four ingredients, and put in a large pot.
Yeah, it seems like a whole lot of garlic, but it makes a lot of soup and
it's going to cook for a long time. Add the seasonings, then the wine,
then water until the veggies are completely covered. Bring to a boil and
then slowly simmer, stirring occasionally, for hours. You cannot overcook
it at this point. When you think it's ready, test the largest chunk of
carrot you can find--it should be quite soft.
Strain the soup through a colander, reserving the liquid. Puree
the veggies in a food processor--you'll probably have to do this in
batches. Use a little of the liquid to help it form a smooth puree. Stir
the sour cream into the puree; you may not want to use the whole cup, so
try adding less and tasting it.
Strain the reserved broth into the puree through a fine-meshed
sieve. (The spices will have given up all their flavor by now, and they
make the soup kinda gritty.) Stir it in, and then *carefully* salt it.
Makes lots--probably enough for a first course for 10. Serve
warm. If desired, you can simmer some broccoli florets in the strained
broth while you're pureeing and then throw those in for color and texture
contrast.

Cream of salsify and mushroom soup
From: r.gagnaux@chnet.ch (Rene Gagnaux)
Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1993 11:00:00 +0100
Categories: Soups
Servings: 4
450 g Salsify ( 1 lb)
2 Onions, chopped
3 tb Sunflower oil
275 g Mushrooms (9 2/3 oz),
-- cleaned and roughly
-- chopped
1 tb Olive oil
1 l Water (2 1/8 pints)
25 g Butter (1 oz)
25 g Flour (1 oz)
1 1/2 dl Milk (1/4 pint)
Sea salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
Scrub the salsify in plenty of water, discard the ends of the roots and
cut into 1 cm (1/2 in) lengths. Soften the onions with the salsify in the
sunflower oil for 10 ... 15 minutes in a heavy, covered pan. Stir
occasionally to prevent sticking, as salsify is dry.
Meanwhile stew the mushrooms in the olive oil until they have given off
their liquid, reserve the liquid and add the mushrooms to the salsify and
onions. Cover with the water and bring to the boil; simmer for 20 minutes.
In a heavy pan, melt the butter, stir in the flour and gradually add first
the mushrooms-liquid, then the milk. When you have a thick sauce, slowly
stir in the liquid from the soup, add the vegetables and liquidize.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
From: B.Allen, The soup book, M-Papermac, 1993, ISBN 0-333-58224-1
(Salsify is a long, thin, darkly earth-coloured root, can be found in
greengrocers's shops in February, also available as preserved ; when
scrubbed, it is revealed to be white whithout an obvious outer skin. Also
known as "vegetable oysters" - some curiously salt, fishy flavour - or as
"poor people's asparagus")

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/hot-sour/mp-hot-sour-soup-coll.html (6 of 16) [12/17/1999 12:02:12 PM]
1 tblsp peanut oil (or other vegetable oil)
1 garlic clove
1 tsp ginger root (aboutr 2 slices)
1/2 cup boneless pork loin, shredded
1 1/2 tblsp soy sauce or tamari
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, shredded
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
10 dried lily buds (also called golden needles)
12 dried tree ear fungus (also called cloud ears)
4 cups chicken broth (canned or homemade; I usually use canned)
1 tblsp dry sherry
3 tblsp red wine vinegar
1 tblsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 tofu pad (a package generally contains 2 pads)
1/4 cup green onions
2 eggs
1 tblsp toasted sesame oil
1/4-1 tsp chili oil
1/4 tsp white pepper
salt and more pepper
Instructions:
-------------
1) Rehydrate the dried ingredients (15 minutes: in lukewarm water for
the shiitakes, and in boiling water for the lily buds and tree ears).
Heat the chicken broth (if it's canned, prepare it).
2) Mince the garlic and ginger root and combine them. Shred the pork
loin. Shred the bamboo shoots. Combine the cornstarch and the water.

11) Add the beaten eggs in a slow stream, stirring several times.
12) Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil, chili oil, white pepper.
Season to taste and serve immediately.
Notes:
------
Like many Chinese recipes, it takes longer to prepare the
ingredients than it does to cook the soup. As I understand it, hot and
sour soup, traditionally, is a Northern Chinese way of using leftovers.
Therefore, there are many, many variations possible, particularly in the
dried ingredients. We never make it exactly the same way twice. I
recommend using the shiitakes at least; most any grocery store has them.
You may find tree ears and lily buds in an oriental food store.

1. Place the mushrooms, tree ears, and tiger lily stems in a mixing
bowl. Pour very hot or boiling water over them and let stand 15 to 30
minutes, then drain.
2. Cut off and discard the stems of the mushrooms and the harder part

the vinegar and dark soy sauce.
4. Combine the cornstarch and water and stir into the simmering broth.
When slightly thickened, add the bean curd, bring to a boil, an turn off
the heat for about 30 seconds, to let the broth cool a bit so the eggs
won't overcook when they are added.
5. Add the sesame oil and pepper and stir to blend. Pour the soup into
a hot soup tureen and gradually add the eggs in a thin stream, stirring
in a cirular motion. Sprinkle with the chopped scallion and the minced
fresh coriander, if desired. Serve immediately.

1 small can of sliced bamboo shoots (3 oz?), cut lengthwise into
three, drained
8 oz. tofu (or a package), sliced 2" X 1/4" X 1/4", drained
2 tblsp vinegar
2 tblsp soy sauce

3 tblsp corn starch

2 green onions, cut into thin circles
1 tblsp chinese-style dark sesame oil

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/hot-sour/mp-hot-sour-soup-coll.html (9 of 16) [12/17/1999 12:02:13 PM]
fresh ginger (size of US quarter, 3/4 inch round, 1/8 inch thick)
Instructions:
-------------
Slice the mushrooms and saute with oil in the soup pot (you can
eliminate fat by just tossing the mushrooms in the stock without
sauteing them, but they shrink something awful!). Add the stock (I used
chicken, which is traditional). Most people will want the stock to have
salt, but remember that the soy sauce is salty. Add the ginger, heat to
a boil, and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
At some point you may wish to discard the ginger so some unsuspecting
soul doesn't bite into it and get a mouthful of heat. You may wish to
do the rest differently, but my wife is always in the kitchen preparing
another last-minute dish, so I like to get all my ingredients together
and ready.
Get five small bowls. Put the vinegar, soy sauce, ground white pepper
and (optional) hot sauce in one and mix. Put the corn starch and water
in the next and mix. Put the (optional) egg in the next and beat
lightly. Put the green onion in the next, and the tofu and
matchstick-cut bamboo shoots in the last.
A few minutes before you are ready to eat, turn the heat to medium.
Add the tofu and bamboo shoots and wait until heated. Add the soy
sauce mixture, heat until boiling. Stir corn starch mixture and add
to rapidly boiling soup. Boil for a long minute until it thickens.
Reduce heat.
If using egg, stir the soup in one direction until it's moving pretty
well. Dribble the egg in, forming long strands. Let the strands firm
(20 seconds). Add sesame oil and stir. You can float the green onions
on top, or stir them in. Serve, with chili oil available for those who
like it hotter.

Mixture D:
----------
2 tblsp light soy sauce
2 tblsp vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili oil
1/2 tsp black pepper (fresh ground)
1/2 tsp white pepper (fresh ground)
3 tblsp scallion, or green onion, chopped
1 tblsp fresh ginger, chopped (Do not use powdered ginger).
Instructions:
-------------
1) Put the golden needles, wood ear, and black mushroom to soak in
separate bowls of water. It takes 30 to 60 minutes for them to be
ready. After soaking, the wood ear should be a flexible and flat
material. It may have a few hard lumps; cut these off and discard them.
Discard the soaking liquids.
2) Meanwhile, prepare mixtures A,C, and
bowls, and mix well. When mixing with cornstarch, add the liquid slowly
to the cornstarch. This avoids getting undissolved cornstarch balls.
3) Shred the pork. This pork must be very lean. The meat portion of
pork cutlets or the center of pork chops are good sources. Shredding
means cutting the pork into pieces about the size of wooden matches.
(1/4 inch square by 1-2 inches) This is most easily done by slicing the
pork, then laying the slices overlapping each other at an angle and
cutting these at a reverse angle.
4) Marinate the pork in mixture A for 15 minutes. Then use 2 tblsp oil
to stir-fry the meat until the color changes. Set the meat aside.
5) Shred and cube the other ingredients.
6) Bring mixture B to a boil and add the black mushroom, bamboo shoots,
wood ear, bean curd, and golden noodles. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the
meat, then add mixture C. Add the beaten egg while stirring to disperse
the egg in sheets and filaments. Add mixture D, and cook another
minute.
7) Serve hot.
Notes:
------
Bean curd must be fresh. If you cannot get it fresh, omit it.
You will need at least 6 bowls (soup bowls are OK), 1 large bowl, and

either a two-handled wok or a large sauce pan. Don't attempt this with
a one-handled wok because it will be filled with boiling soup and is
almost certain to spill.
Hot and sour soup is a generic soup type, so you can make many
variations on this soup. To control the spiciness, adjust the ratio
between mixture D and mixture B. Changing the ratios inside mixture D
changes the nature of the soup. Finally, you can add a lot more
ingredients if you want. The critical ingredients are the golden
needles, bamboo (although almost any variety can be good), mushrooms (or
fungus of some sort), and pork shreds. Experiment with different kinds
of fungus and bamboo. Adding other mild vegetables is usually a
success.

I start off with chicken broth, and when it is hot, I put in Lemon Grass
and steep it like tea. While this is steeping, I add one or two
tablespoons of Louisiana Hot Soss for the heat. When the broth is
reasonably cool, I strain it, and put it back in the pot. Oh yes, while
I am letting the grass steep, I prepare julienne strips of white meat of
chicken, sliced mushrooms, pea pods, scallions and a little bit of bean
sprouts. Then I reheat the broth to a boil, and immediately take it off

When it begins to boil, turn off the heat, and add the lemon grass, as
well as Hot Soss (My copywrited version of Sauce) to taste. While all
of this is going on, prepare the Chicken breasts by julienning them
(little strips), tthe scallions should be sliced into 1/4" pieces both
white and green. About 2 or 3 should do, as most oriental soups are
more clear broth, than the soups I used to prepare in my restaurant.
When the chicken is stripped, the onions, snow peas, and mushrooms have
been sliced and made ready, strain the broth, getting rid of the lemon
grass. Then bring the broth to a boil, and again turn off the heat.
Add the ingredients, and let sit for 1 minute.
The Chicken and all of the veggies will then be cooked satisfactory, and
the soup will be ready to serve. My children have done this at school,
and it is like pulling a rabbit out of a hat....

but missing several ingredients that I'm sure some would say were

should vary them to suit you. I had this last night, and my wife was
surprised that the kids each ate three bowls, instead of the stuff
*she* made (I liked the stuff she made, but I had three bowls of the
soup in addition to her stuff).

8 oz. tofu (or a package), sliced 2" X 1/4" X 1/4", drained
2 T vinegar
2 T soy sauce
1/4 t white pepper
3 T corn starch
3 T water
1 egg, beaten (eliminate for vegans)
2 green onions, cut into thin circles
1 T chinese-style dark sesame oil
Slice the mushrooms and saute with oil in the soup pot (you can
eliminate fat by just tossing the mushrooms in the stock without
sauteing them, but they shrink something awful!). Add the stock (I
used ch****n, which is traditional, but this is cross-posted to
rec.food.veg, so I can't say that). Most people will want the stock
to have salt, but remember that the soy sauce is salty. Add the
ginger, heat to a boil, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. At some
point you may wish to discard the ginger so some unsuspecting soul
doesn't bite into it and get a mouthful of heat. You may wish to do
the rest differently, but my wife is always in the kitchen preparing
another last-minute dish, so I like to get all my ingredients
together and ready. Get five small bowls. Put the vinegar, soy
sauce, ground white pepper and (optional) hot sauce in one and mix.
Put the corn starch and water in the next and mix. Put the
(optional) egg in the next and beat lightly. Put the green onion in
the next, and the tofu and matchstick-cut bamboo shoots in the last.
A few minutes before you are ready to eat, turn the heat to medium.
Add the tofu and bamboo shoots and wait until heated. Add the soy
sauce mixture, heat until boiling. Stir corn starch mixture and add
to rapidly boiling soup. Boil for a long minute until it thickens.
Reduce heat. If using egg, stir the soup in one direction until it's
moving pretty well. Dribble the egg in, forming long strands. Let
the strands firm (20 seconds). Add sesame oil and stir. You can
float the green onions on top, or stir them in. Serve, with chili
oil available for those who like it hotter.

HOT AND SOUR SOUP
HOTSOUR-SOUP-2 - Popular Szechuan Chinese soup
I learned this recipe while taking
This soup is very popular in this country. It comes in a
great many varieties, and can range from very mild to very
spicy, and from a soup to almost a stew. This particular
recipe is a medium spicy soup that should be within most
peoples' tolerance range.
COLLECTION: Hot and Sour soup
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/hot-sour/mb-hot-sour-soup-coll.html (4 of 10) [12/17/1999 12:02:18 PM]
INGREDIENTS (serves 6-8)
1 cup bean curd, cut into small cubes.
1/4 cup bamboo shoot, shredded
1/4 cup golden needles (tiger lily pods)
2 Tbsp wood ear fungus shredded
1/4 cup black mushroom
1 egg, well beaten
4 oz very lean pork, shredded
MIXTURE A
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
MIXTURE B
6 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp MSG (optional)
1 tsp sugar
MIXTURE C
3 Tbsp cornstarch
3 Tbsp water
MIXTURE D
2 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili oil
1/2 tsp black pepper (fresh ground)
1/2 tsp white pepper (fresh ground)
3 Tbsp scallion, or green onion, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped (Do not use powdered
ginger).
PROCEDURE
(1) Put the golden needles, wood ear, and black mushroom
to soak in separate bowls of water. It takes
30 to 60 minutes for them to be ready. After soaking,
the wood ear should be a flexible and flat
material. It may have a few hard lumps; cut these
off and discard them. Discard the soaking
liquids.
(2) Meanwhile, prepare mixtures A,C, and
their ingredients in bowls, and mix well. When
mixing with cornstarch, add the liquid slowly to
the cornstarch. This avoids getting undissolved
cornstarch balls.
(3) Shred the pork. This pork must be very lean. The
meat portion of pork cutlets or the center of pork
chops are good sources. Shredding means cutting
the pork into pieces about the size of wooden

matches. (1/4 inch square by 1-2 inches) This is
most easily done by slicing the pork, then laying
the slices overlapping each other at an angle and
cutting these at a reverse angle.
(4) Marinate the pork in mixture A for 15 minutes.
Then use 2 Tbsp oil to stir-fry the meat until the
color changes. Set the meat aside.
(5) Shred and cube the other ingredients.
(6) Bring mixture B to a boil and add the black mushroom,
bamboo shoots, wood ear, bean curd, and golden
noodles. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the meat,
then add mixture C. Add the beaten egg while
stirring to disperse the egg in sheets and filaments.
Add mixture D, and cook another minute.
(7) Serve hot.
NOTES
Bean curd must be fresh. If you cannot get it fresh, omit
it.
You will need at least 6 bowls (soup bowls are OK), 1 large
bowl, and either a two-handled wok or a large sauce pan.
Don't attempt this with a one-handled wok because it will be
filled with boiling soup and is almost certain to spill.
Hot and sour soup is a generic soup type, so you can make
many variations on this soup. To control the spiciness,
adjust the ratio between mixture D and mixture B. Changing
the ratios inside mixture D changes the nature of the soup.
Finally, you can add a lot more ingredients if you want.
The critical ingredients are the golden needles, bamboo
(although almost any variety can be good), mushrooms (or
fungus of some sort), and pork shreds. Experiment with different
kinds of fungus and bamboo. Adding other mild vegetables
is usually a success.
RATING
Difficulty: easy but tedious. Time: 1-2 hours (lots of
preparation, little cooking) Precision: measure the
ingredients.

hot and sour soup, and it was pleasant to discover how easy
it is to make it at home. We have fixed this by itself as a
dinner for two with enough left over for lunch. Particularly
when we add extra meat and vegetables, we find it a
very hearty soup which is surprisingly easy to make.
INGREDIENTS (Serves 4-6)
1 Tbsp peanut oil (or other vegetable oil)
1 garlic clove
1 tsp ginger root (aboutr 2 slices)
1/2 cup boneless pork loin, shredded
1 1/2 Tbsp
soy sauce or tamari
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, shredded
6 dried shiitake mushrooms
10 dried lily buds (also called golden needles)
12 dried tree ear fungus (also called cloud ears)
4 cups chicken broth (canned or homemade; I usually use
canned)
1 Tbsp dry sherry
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 tofu pad (a package generally contains 2 pads)
1/4 cup green onions
2 eggs
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4-1 tsp chili oil
1/4 tsp white pepper
salt and more pepper
PROCEDURE
(1) Rehydrate the dried ingredients (15 minutes: in
lukewarm water for the shiitakes, and in boiling
water for the lily buds and tree ears). Heat the
chicken broth (if it's canned, prepare it).
(2) Mince the garlic and ginger root and combine them.
Shred the pork loin. Shred the bamboo shoots.
Combine the cornstarch and the water. Chop the
green onions. Lightly beat the eggs.
(3) Heat oil in wok (medium), add the garlic and
ginger, stirring 30 seconds.
(4) Add the pork, cooking until it loses its pink color
(5) Add the soy sauce, cook for 1 minute more.
(6) Add bamboo shoots, shiitakes, lily buds, tree ear
fungi, stir quickly for 1 minute.

(8) Stir cornstarch/water mix one last time and add it
to the soup.
(9) Add the tofu and bring the soup to a boil.

several times.
(12) Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil, chili
oil, white pepper. Season to taste and serve
immediately.
NOTES
Like many Chinese recipes, it takes longer to prepare the
ingredients than it does to cook the soup. As I understand
it, hot and sour soup, traditionally, is a Northern Chinese
way of using leftovers. Therefore, there are many, many
variations possible, particularly in the dried ingredients.
We never make it exactly the same way twice. I recommend
using the shiitakes at least; most any grocery store has
them. You may find tree ears and lily buds in an oriental
food store.

LEEK AND LENTIL SOUP
====================
Ingredients:
------------
1 oz orange split lentils
1 medium leek, washed and chopped
1 rasher bacon, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 oz butter or margarine
about 7 fl oz water or ham stock
2 fl oz milk
salt and pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Wash and drain the lentils in a small sieve.
Heat the fat in a medium saucepan and fry the chopped bacon a little.
Add the leeks, carrot and lentils and saute together for about 10
minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Pour in the water or stock and milk, stir, bring to the boil and simmer
for about 30 minutes.
Liquidise the soup in a blender or food processor, seasoning well with
salt and pepper to taste. Reheat and thin down if necessary with more
milk.
If you prefere to use brown or green whole lentils, which have a lovely
flavour, instead of the orange split lentils, simmer 1 oz in a small
saucepan in 6 fl oz of water for 40 minsutes first. Then fry the bacon
and the vegetables together for 10 minutes and add with the fat to the
simmering lentils. Pour in the 7 fl oz water or stock and the milk,
bring to the boil and simmer for about 20 minutes. Liquidise and finish
as in the recipe above.
When cooking dried pulses, do not add salt until they are tender.

Note:
-----
This recipe requires a good tasting stock. DON'T use cubes!!
To make chicken stock:
----------------------
Get some chicken bones from your local butcher or save and freeze them
when you de-bone chicken breasts.
Prepare a mirepoix (chopped carrots, onions or shallots, celery or
celery root (preferable, also known as celeriac) and garlic) exact
quantities depend on the volume of stock you are making and your own
personal taste.
Sweat the mirepoix on medium head with a little oil (let the veggies
cook alone for a while)
If using fresh bones , add them to the mirepoix and heat them up. Do
not do this for frozen bones and meat as too much blood will be released
later and cloud the stock.
When the bones are hot, add very cold water (as much as you want,
depends on how much bones you have).
Add a few peppercorns and whatever other herb and spice you like
(oregano is nice)
Simmer for 3-4 hours removing scum frequently.
Strain stock through a couple layers of cheesecloth

salt
pepper
cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Wash your lentils well, and check them for rocks and bugs, etc. Combine
the lentils and the vegetables in a big pot with about 4 cups of water
(that's an estimate, use a little more if that doesn't seem like enough,
but try not to use *too much*). Bring this to a boil, and then let it
simmer until it has cooked down some and your lentils are soft.
Then take the soup a cupful at a time and blend it in your blender until
it is smooth (you will need a second pot to transfer it into after
blending it). Your soup should be fairly thick by now, and bring it to
a boil once again, and then let it simmer another fifteen or twenty
minutes.
Last but not least, add 1 whole teaspoon of pepper, a teaspoon of salt,
and a couple of pinches of cayenne pepper.
The original recipe for this soup said to serve it with a dab of sour
cream in the center of the bowl, which seems odd to me, but it's kind of
tasty in a strange way. It's also very good with pita bread or any kind
of Indian bread because it's very thick and easy to pick up with a hunk
of bread.

LENTIL VEGETABLE SOUP
=====================
You will need a 4.5 quart pot or larger to make this recipe. For
smaller pots use slightly less portions of vegetables and water - this
is so easy to just play by ear.
Ingredients:
------------
4 stalks celery
1 - 2 carrots
2 yellow onions
3 - 4 red potatoes
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups green lentils
6 - 8 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves
1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp each: rosemary, sage, oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme
1 tsp sea salt
7 - 8 cups water
2 - 3 tblsp red wine vinegar
Instructions:
-------------
Wash and sort lentils. Put into pot with bay leaves and add water.
Cover, and bring to a boil. In a skillet, add all vegetables except
potatoes, garlic, spices, salt and oil. Add a little water to prevent
them from sticking. Saute until the vegetables become soft. Add into
the lentils. Cook the lentils for about 40-50 minutes, and then add the
chopped potatoes (skin on, in 1/2" pieces) and cook an additional 15
minutes. Remove from heat, and add red wine vinegar. If possible, let
sit for several hours before serving. This soup ages well, often
tasting better the next day.

1 large onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped.
3 tblsp chopped parsley
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1-2 tblsp soy miso (optional)
pinch of pepper
Instructions:
-------------
Cook for about 30 to 60 minutes the lentils in a heavy pot (beans tend
to stick to the sides of thin pots).
While the lentils are cooking briefly saute the onions in water and add
parsley, bay leaf. When onions are soft add the celery. Stir for about
2 minutes then add the carrots. Briefly saute until the carrots are
brighter in colour but still a little crunchy. Add the lentils and
tomatoes and stir the kale into the lentils. Keep stirring.
When the kale is wilted, add water and the rest of the seasoning.
Simmer the soup for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: Kale is a pretty good source of calcium!

Peanut Butter Soup

This is an adaptation from several different recipes that I have
tried over the years. You will notice that there are a few
options to select from. The options are dependant on whether you
like a red tomato base or whiter flour base to your soup. Kind
of like choosing your clam chowder.
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced gren pepper (less if you are not a Vitamin A
or pepper lover).
2 cloves minced garlic
3T butter
3 to 4T all purpose flour (You can judge the consistency you
like) I like mine rather thick.
2 1/2 cup chicken broth (Optionally use water)
5 cups milk
1 cup half and half cream. (You can vary this mixture
depending on how rich you like your soup. Sometimes I
make it even more decadent than 1 cup of cream.
1 cup creamy peanut butter. I really prefer the old
fashioned natural best.
2T Tomato Paste. You decide whether you like this
ingredient. I do not, but then I like
chowder.
3T Soy sauce
Chopped peanuts for garnish
Saute onions, celery, green pepper and garlic in the butter until
onions are translucent. Add flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes,
until you have a light roux. Stir in water, Add milk slowly.
Bring to a boil. Add peanut butter,tomato paste (optional), and
soy sauce. Reduce heat and simmer approximately 15 minutes.
Serve hot with chopped peanuts for garnish.
Enjoy!

Date: 11 Nov 93 14:34:31
Potatoe Leak Soop: (Fit for a VP!)
enough stock: good chicken stock, home made preferred, can ok, bouillion at
your risk
enough potatoes: cubed to 1/2" blocks, water to cover, cook til soft,
drain, reserving water to make bread.
enough leeks: trim roots and tough greens off, split and clean
thoroughly, chop crosswise into 1/4 strips
Olive oil: In large stock pot, use sufficient oil and cook leeks
gently til soft; add potatoes. grate white pepper, add stock to
cover, bring to simmer.
blenderize: ladle stock and potatoes into blender and blend til
smooth. This will take several passes unless you have monster
blender.
Adjust seasoning or consistency: salt, pepper, reserved potato water.
---
proportions: balance leeks and potatoes according to taste. Balance
stock according to strength and consistency.
variations:
add onions just like leek
celery leaves are excellent in this type of soup
celery root substitute/add for potatoes but don't cook as long
fennel/anis
milk/cream could be added easily to benefit, but not necessary if
stock is good
In the summer: serve cold with dollops of yogurt and lots of white
peppers.

BABA'S POTATO SOUP
==================
Peel and cube the potatoes (as if you were going to mash them) place
them in salted water and cook until done.
In a skillet melt a stick of butter (butter works best, I guess you
could use margerine) and dice a good sized onion into the butter and
cook until transparent.
When the potatoes are cooked, take an old "hand masher" and knock the
potatoes apart (in the water) don't mash them, just knock 'em apart.
Add the butter and onions to the pot of potatoes. (after she added the
butter and onions to the pot, she always took a dipper of water out of
the potatoes and put it in the hot skillet and warmed it and added it
back to the potatoes, sometimes she did it twice). Allow this to
continue cooking...
In a large glass or cup (with a pour spout) mix an egg or two with flour

(it should be runny enough to pour, just about pancake batter
consistency or looser. if it gets too thick you can add a little water)
Pour the "drop noodles" into the boiling soup, stir gently as you pour
the batter. When the "noodles" float to the top they are done and the
soup is ready to eat.
No measurements - sorry I learned by watching and my grandmother didn't
measure much of anything.

Ingredients:

5-6 medium sized potatoes
half a bunch of green onions, sliced
1 (or more) shiitake or Chinese black mushroom (I also like to toss
in a few dried porcini mushrooms)
1 chicken leg
1 cup milk
pepper
bay leaves
Instructions:
-------------
Soak the mushroom in hot water for 30-45 minutes.
Peel and slice the potatoes. Saute the onions in a little bit of olive
oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and a quart of water. Put in
the bay leaves and the chicken leg. Simmer for an hour.
Dice the mushroom and add the mushroom pieces and the soaking water to
the soup.
When the potatoes are done, smash them with a fork or a potato masher
and stir the soup well. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper.
Oh, before you smash the potatoes, take the chicken leg out and cut the
chicken into little pieces and add it back in.
Note:
-----
If you're watching your cholesterol, leave out the chicken and the milk.
The soup is still good without them.

POTATO SOUP
===========
Start some onions sauteeing in a little butter or oil. Maybe one large
onion, chopped fine.
Peel a few potatos and chop into small pieces. When the onions are
done, add the potatos, and some salt to taste.
Add 3-4 cups of chicken stock. Cook on low heat until the potatos are
soft.
Add 3 cups of milk, some cooked peas, herbs (dill would be nice) and
fresh pepper.
Heat thoroughly and serve. A nice addition is about 8 oz of chopped
lox, which can be had inexpensively as trimmings at many delis. Other
fish soups can be made on this basic recipe. Smoked haddock works well
here, too.

POTATO SOUP
===========
Chop up an onion or two (depending on how big they are) and several
stalks of celery, including some leaves. Saute in margarine until soft
in a big pot. In the meantime, peel as many potatoes as you like. I
usually peel enough to cover the bottom of the pot in a fairly deep
layer. Cut the potatoes in half or fourths, depending on how big they
are. Cover with water and simmer until the potatoes are done. Take a
potato masher and mash the potatoes until they're reduced to bite-sized
pieces. You'll get some chunks and a nice, thick broth. Add one or two
cans of evaporated milk (again, depending on how big your pot is). Salt
and pepper to taste. A nice touch is to add very crisp bacon, crumbled
up, to the finished soup in the last few minutes of cooking. Garlic

==========
Ingredients:
------------
1/2 cup uncooked rice or orzo (rice shaped pasta, which I prefer)
7-8 cup stock (I use chicken)
2 tblsp water
2-3 eggs
juice of 1 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-------------
Prepare a stock by boiling slowly lean lamb, meat bones, or chicken with
enough water to cover. Strain stock when meat is done. 1/2 hour before
serving, boil stock and add rice or orzo. When orzo is done, reduce
heat to simmer. In a bowl, beat eggs with 2 Tbsp. water and the lemon
juice. Spoon broth into egg mixture STIRRING CONSTANTLY to prevent
curdling. After adding about 5 Tbsp. broth to eggs, add eggs to the
broth on the stove STIRRING CONSTANTLY. Remove from heat. It should be
slightly thick. Serve immediately. I like this pretty "lemony", so I
sometimes add more lemon.

Most soups and stews can be prepared in a crock pot. Just decrease
the liquid ingredients (not as much liquid will evaporate from a
closed slow-cooker) and let it rip for 6 or more hours.
HEARTY BEAN AND VEGETABLE STEW
==============================
(Servings: 12)
Ingredients:
------------
1 lb beans, assorted, dry
2 cup vegetable juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup apple or pineapple juice
vegetable stock or water
1/2 cup celery -- diced
1/2 cup parsnips -- diced
1/2 cup carrots -- diced
1/2 cup mushrooms -- diced
1 onion -- diced
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp parsley, dried
1 bay leaf
3 clove garlic -- minced
1 tsp black pepper -- ground
1 cup rice or pasta -- cooked
Instructions:
-------------
Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water.
Drain beans and place in crockpot. Add vegetable juice, wine, soy
sauce, and apple or pineapple juice. Cover with vegetable stock or
water; the amount added depends on whether you prefer a soup (more
liquid) or a stew (less). The juice adds just a tad of sweetness and
the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.
Cook at high for 2 hours. Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook
for 5-6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender. When
tender, add rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour.

COLLECTION: Bean Soups
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-bean-soup-coll.html (3 of 4) [12/17/1999 12:03:05 PM]
2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 16 oz. can Italian tomatoes, drained, tomatoes chopped coarsely
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley, preferably Italian
1/2 cup julliened carrot
1/2 lb ground sirlioin
1 egg
4 tblsp seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 lb ditalini (tiny, tube shaped pasta)
Freshly grated Romano, Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
Instructions:
-------------
Rinse and pick over the dried beans. Soak overnight in cold water.
Drain, then place in stockpot with 10 cups cold water. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat to simmer while preparing vegetables. Heat the olive
oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salt pork and
cook, stirring frequently, until the fat melts and the meat begins to
brown, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to burn.
Add the onion and garlic and saute gently until the onion is golden.
Add this mixture to the beans, along with the celery, salt, red and
black pepper, oregano and basil. Cover and simmer until beans are
tender, about 2 1/2 hours, checking frequently to make sure the liquid
has no evaporated too much. There has to be enough liquid to cook the
meatballs and pasta in the final cooking stage. Add more water if
necessary.
About 30 minutes before the soup is finished simmering, add the
tomatoes and their juices and the parsley. Combine the ground meat
with the egg and bread crumbs and roll into miniature balls. Add to
the simmering soup. Add the carrot.
About 20 minutes later, add the ditalini and cook until tender.
Serve with the grated cheese.

Beef Barley Soup
From: loosemore-sandra@CS.YALE.EDU (Sandra Loosemore)
Date: 4 Sep 1993 10:04:53 -0400
Start by browning the beef in your soup pot. I use about a pound of
stew beef, cut into bite-sized pieces. Add about 6 cups of water and
1/3 cup of barley, and bring to a low boil. Skim off the scum that
forms, and add various herbs and spices to flavor the broth (hint: use
soy sauce instead of salt if you want a dark-colored broth). Let this
simmer for an hour or so, then start adding the vegetables: carrots,
rutabaga, onion, celery, tomatoes. When the carrots are done, it's ready
to eat.
