BORSCHTSCH UKRAINSKY

====================

Ingredients:

------------

500g beef, cut in pieces

300g beet roots

200g white cabbage

200g carrots and onions (I'm not sure if it is meant that you should

take 200g each or 200g of everything together. Just try it...)

100g tomatoes, or 2 tblsp tomato puree

1 tblsp vinegar

1-2 tblsp butter or lard

1 bay leaf

parsley

sugar, salt and pepper to taste

sour cream

Instructions:

-------------

Cook beef in bouillon. (The exact amount wasn't mentioned in the

original recipe. I assume it should be 'enough'...)

Cut beet roots, carrots, parsley and onions in strips and put them into

another large pan. Add tomatoes or tomato puree, vinegar, sugar and a

little bit beef broth with lard (or 1-2 tablespoons butter). Cover with

lid and cook for a while. Stir the vegetables from time to time. If

necessary add some more broth or water.

After 15-20 minutes add finely cut white cabbage to the veggies, stir

everything together and cook 20 more minutes. Then cover everything

with the beef bouillon and add the cooked meat. Season with pepper,

salt and a bay leaf. Add some more vinegar to taste and cook until the

vegetables are done.

Serve with a spoonful of sour cream on each bowl of soup.

Variations:

-----------

You can add cut potatoes 5-10 minutes before the Borscht is finished.

Furthermore you might add cooked bacon or sausages.

Note:

-----

This was a real translation stunt for me, as I translated this recipe

directly from Russian into English. I hope I did not make too many

mistakes...

CHICKEN SOUP

============

Chicken soup as made my my mother and millions of other nice Jewish

ladies:

Get an old chicken - they have *much* more flavor. An old 'stewing' hen

is good. The ones at the kosher butcher cost more but seem to be worth

it. The young supermarket hens have no flavor.

Put chicken in pot. Cover with water. Add an onion, a couple of

carrots, a couple of parsnips, a handful of dill weed (fresh), and a

little salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and let simmer for an hour

or more.

Carefully remove chicken and vegetables. Skim fat from soup. An easy

way to do this is to toss in a handful of ice cubes and skim them out

with the fat that congeals around them.

Serve the soup with kreplach, matzoh balls, egg noodles or rice.

If you've removed the chicken carefully and intact, place it on a baking

dish or pan and roast in the oven at 350 or so until the skin is crispy

and golden. Voila! Gedempte Chicken! My maternal grandmother used to

make this, or so I am told.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

From: arielle@taronga.com (Stephanie da Silva)

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.

COLLECTION: Chicken Soups

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-chicken-soup-coll.html (2 of 8) [12/17/1999 12:03:25 PM]

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

GINGERY CHICKEN AND SPINACH SOUP

================================

Ingredients:

------------

1 onion

1 piece (1/2 inch long) fresh ginger or 3/4 tsp ground

1 tblsp Oriental Sesame oil [she says you can substitute vegetable

oil, but I think the sesame is crucial]

6 cups chicken broth or water

1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken or turkey breast

1/2 bunch scallions or 1 small bunch coriander

2 cups vermicelli, fine egg noodles, orzo or pastina [my SO uses (Mrs.

Weiss's brand) Kluski noodles--I reccomend using hearty noodles

like these instead of the delicate pastas recommended!!]

3-4 tblsp lemon juice

salt & pepper to taste

toasted sesame seeds

[my SO adds garlic too]

Instructions:

-------------

1. Finely chop the ONION. Peel and mince GINGER.

2. Heat SESAME OIL in soup pot over medium heat. Add ONION and GINGER

COLLECTION: Chicken Soups

[and GARLIC], increase heat to high and saute for a few seconds to

relase aroma. Add the BROTH and FROZEN SPINACH. Cover the pot and

bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until spinach is

thawed (~10 minutes).

3. Meanwhile, cut the CHICKEN into thin shreds or 3/4 inch chunks.

Slice the SCALLIONS, including about four inches of the green tops (or

rinse, stem and mince CORIANDER).

4. When the spinach has thawed, stir the soup, then add the CHICKEN and

NOODLES. Cover and simmer until the noodles and chicken are cooked (~5

minutes). Add the SCALLIONS (or CORIANDER) and the LEMON JUICE. Season

to taste with SALT and PEPPER.

5. Serve immediately, passing the TOASTED SESAME SEEDS for sprinkling

over each portion.

THAI CHICKEN AND COCONUT MILK SOUP

==================================

(Tom ka gai or kai tom ga)

Ingredients:

------------

1 12-ounce can coconut milk, such as Chaokoh

1/4 lb chicken breast, cut into small chunks

juice and grated peel of 1 lime

1 4" piece of lemon grass, cut into very thin (1/16") slices on the

diagonal

3-4 slices of galanga (fresh ginger may be substituted)

Hot chile peppers to taste -- preferably Thai birds, with serranos an

acceptable substitute (though I've used sweet Fresno chiles

in a variation I'll describe below), cut into thin circles

Cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

-------------

Pour the lime juice on the chicken and let stand while you prepare the

rest of the soup. In a medium saucepan, place the coconut milk, lemon

grass, grated lime peel, galanga or ginger, and (optionally) chiles.

(The optional part is that if you don't want the whole dish to taste

spicy, add the chiles later; the earlier you add them, the hotter the

resulting dish.) Bring the coconut milk to a simmer.

When the soup is simmering, add the lime-soaked chicken pieces and stir

to distribute them. Reduce the heat so the soup stays just below a boil

and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or till the chicken pieces are finished

cooking. Remove from heat and serve immediately with fresh cilantro

leaves for garnish.

Now, the *best* way I ever had this soup was with pieces of fresh

grouper instead of chicken. I also added slices of kumquats instead of

the ginger, and used the sweet Fresno chiles instead of Thai birds. We

also served it over Vietnamese rice noodles. Was it southeast Asian or

Caribbean? Who cares, it was wonderful. If you can't find grouper,

it'd be good with any tender, delicate white fish -- sole, maybe, or a

very fresh sea bass, or maybe little chunks of monkfish. I believe I've

had this with shrimp as well. (Grouper, BTW, is a type of fish common

in the Caribbean and, if I recall, in other warm-water parts of the

world; the flesh is very white, very tender, and quite delicately

flavored. I've seen it in one Asian grocery store in the Bay Area, as

well as in the Bahamas, so I'd guess that Gulf Coast netters should be

able to find it readily.)

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-chicken-soup-coll.html (5 of 8) [12/17/1999 12:03:25 PM]

1. Galanga is similar to ginger, an edible rhizome available in most

Asian groceries. If not available fresh, you can usually find it

frozen. (Well, this is the SF Bay Area; if you can't find it at Tin Tin

or the New Castro Market, you have to have friends smuggle it in from

Bangkok for you... Other parts of the country may vary.)

2. Chile peppers add a lot to the dish; I've had it so hot that I could

barely eat it, and I've had it completely smooth, sweet and mild. I

like it in the middle.

3. Lemon grass adds a lot to the flavor and aroma, but as near as I can

tell it isn't edible unless you puree it. (If there's sufficient

demand, I'll print my recipe for Vietnamese turkey fajitas.) I just eat

around the slices of lemon grass and ginger.

THAI CHICKEN COCONUT SOUP

=========================

Ingredients:

------------

3-4 cans coconut milk (make sure it's the unsweetened kind)

3 tblsp chopped scallions

1-3 tsp lemon grass

cilantro (preferably fresh. I sometimes leave this out. Niels says

that's defeating the whole point, but I think it still comes

out great)

tofu cubed into smallish pieces.

chicken also cubed to bite size.

mushrooms

1 carrot grated

juice from loads of limes (8? i can never put in enough)

serrano chillies (or any other hot chili pepper, again preferably

fresh, but powdered will do)

1 tsp galanga powder

Instructions:

-------------

Heat the coconut milk in a pot. Add everything else. As the lemon

grass is inedible, put it in a tea ball and immerse the ball in the soup

so you can retrieve it later. Cook until the chicken is done and the

soup is hot (30 minutes?). Taste to see if it needs more limes (it

always does) or more hot peppers (it's better to start mild and build up

to the desired level of spicyness).

VIETNAMESE PHO (CHICKEN/NOODLE SOUP)

====================================

Chicken Broth:

--------------

Slowly cook whole chicken or 2 with some ginger, scallions onion carrot

few cilantro leaves covered with h20 until its reduced by half. Ours

takes 2 days (48 hours no shit). Save worthwile meat from chicken,

strain broth pressing out all cooked down ing. through strainer or

sieve,chill in fridge to facillitate fat removal the next day.

Buy rice sticks from Asian grocery (1 lb is good for 4 people) and Nuoc

maum (sp) sauce. I perfer lighter sauce to the darker pastis sauces one

can get - rule of thumb for this is to buy the most expensive bottle

(they are around 3.50 or so.)

1 ginger root

hot chiles

Fresh Basil

1 white onion

Fresh cilantro

Bean Sprouts (mung)

raw onion rounds.

Each diner adds as much or as little of following sauce (start out

slowly and add as you see fit):

1/4 cup nuoc maum sauce

1 cup h20

2 tbs lemon/lime juice or vinegar

1/4 tsp sugar ( i usually don't add)

2 tbs minced ginger

1-10 ground hot chiles

1/4 teaspoon minced fresh cilantro leaf>

This is a great meal! Some use thinly sliced beef added right after hot

broth & noodles, soup cools beef cooks - a nice change from chicken

Notes:

------

Get best possible chicken (free range is worth extra $ for this meal)

Can eat for a day or two. Stuff keeps in fridge.

medium-high for 30 minutes (turn down to medium if it boils over too

much) or until potatoes come apart when pierced with a fork.

Take out the bay leaves. Put the cooked vegetables, with some of the

water, into a blender (fill the container about to half). Pour in a

splash of half-and-half. Blend on the highest setting until very

smooth. Pour that out and repeat until all the vegetables have been

2 tbs olive oil

COLLECTION: Diverse Soups

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-diverse-soups-coll.html (7 of 25) [12/17/1999 12:03:41 PM]

1 lb mushrooms, diced

(1/4 lb Portabella mushrooms, diced)

10 cups hot water

5 soy cubes

3/4 cup quinoa

1/3 cup pearl or pot barley

1/3 cup red lentils

3 carrots, diced

3 tbs tamari soy sauce

2 tsp dried dill weed (or 2 tbs fresh)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

4 cups kale, chopped coarsely

Instructions:

-------------

Add the onions, garlic, and celery to the oil in a large pot over

low-medium heat. (I started off with 1 tbs butter then added the

veggies then 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil. But this is not for strict

vegans.) Cook until the onions become translucent but not brown (10-15

minutes). Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile dissolve the soy cubes in the hot water. If you can't get soy

cubes, use a couple more tbs of tamari. Add the water, tamari, quinoa,

lentils, barley, and carrots to the pot and bring to a boil over high

heat. Reduce the heat and add the dried dill (add at same time as

parsley if it is fresh). Simmer for 1 hour. Add the parsley and the

kale (and the fresh dill if you are not using dried dill) then simmer

for another 10 minutes. Serve.

You can add some water during the simmering if you think it is too

thick. I like it very thick. :-)

KIM CHEE

========

Okay, since I just made a batch after a 2 year absence of the stuff,

here's the recipe I use:

Ingredients:

------------

2/3 lb Napa Cabbage - sliced 1/4 inch thick

1/2 lb Daikon radish - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick

1 medium cucumber - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick

1 medium turnip - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick

1/2 cup salt

1 tblsp salt

3 spring onions, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 tsp fresh ginger, minced

1 tblsp dried chili flakes

2 tsp soy sauce/tamari

1 cup water

Instructions:

-------------

Layer whole cabbage leaves, sliced daikin, cucumber and turnip in a

large bowl. Between layers, liberally sprinkle with 1/2 cup salt.

Cover with water and place a wide plate or pot on top to submerge them.

Leave overnight or at least 12 hours. Drain & Rinse vegetables in a

colander. Julienne each vegetable into a uniform shape. return them to

the large bowl, and add spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili flakes,

soy/tamari, salt and 1 cup water. Toss to combine.

Spoon the vegetabels with liquid into a large crock or clean jars.

Cover tightly or cap. Refridgerate for 3 days before opening.

Everyday, turn jars upside down a couple of times to distribute spices,

or stir vegetables in the crock. Store in refridgerator.

Notes:

------

Kim chee spiciness varies depending on the hotness of the chili flakes

used. The longer it sites, the hotter it gets (up to a point). I

cannot vouch for the authenticity of the recipe, but its about as close

as I've come.

beware 'kim chee' spices in oriental food stores, as they most likely

have MSG in them.

KIM CHI

=======

Ingredients:

------------

2 heads of Chinese (or white) cabbage

1 cup of salt

1 lbs daikon (long white Oriental radish)

6 green (spring) onions

4 cloves garlic

1 inches fresh gingerroot

1 stalk of celery

1 hard, semi-ripe pear

4 tblsp ground red pepper (cayenne)

1 tblsp granulated sugar

Instructions:

-------------

1. Remove (do not discard) the outer leaves from the cabbage. Quarter

the cabbage and place together with the outside leaves in a large bowl.

Sprinkle on the salt. Let stand 3 hours, turning occasionally.

2. Peel the daikon and cut into long thin strips. Cut the onions into

1." strips and then shred lengthwise into slivers. Mix the daikon and

onion strips together in another bowl and let sit while the cabbage and

salt mixture is sitting.

3. Peel and mince garlic and gingerroot. Cut celery into 1" lengths

and shred lengthwise. Peel, core, and slice the pear and then cut into

long strips. Mix these ingredients together with the cayenne and

granulated sugar and combine into the daikon and onion mixture.

4. The cabbage will have produced a brine after sitting. Remove the

outer leaves from the brine and set aside. Take a quarter of the

cabbage head, rinse it under running water then pack the daikon and

onion mixture between the leaves. Set it in the bottom of a crock or

other container. Repeat this procedure with the remaining three

quarters. Any remaining mixture should be layered over the cabbage.

Press down.

5. Place the outer leaves in a layer on top of the cabbage and cover

the crock. Set a small weight on top of the cover and let sit for 3

days. The longer it sits the stronger it gets! It can be stored for a

month prior to opening. Keep it in a cool (60 degree) place.

After removing the Kim Chi from the crock it can be stored in glass jars

This is a strong recipe and if it is still not hot enough, diced red

peppers with seeds can be added, to the daikon and onion mixture, but do

so at your own risk! Enjoy.

This hearty soup is a specialty at Auberge Benedict Arnold in St.

Georges. It's the most requested dish of American visitors, says chef

Renaud Jacques, who was born in St. Elzear. In summer, he flavors it

with fresh hrbs. The rest of the year, he uses Quebec's favorite salted

herbs (recipe follows).

Ingredients:

2 cups (500 ml / 450 g) dried white pea beans

2 tblsp (25 ml) butter

1/2 cup (125ml) chopped onion

1/4 cup (50 ml) chopped leek, white part only

1/4 cup (50 ml) smoked ham, plus ham bone

PUMPKIN-GINGER SOUP

===================

1 small cooking pumpkin

1/2 cup "raw" cashew pieces

1 tblsp grated fresh ginger (or to taste)

salt to taste

Instructions:

-------------

Soak cashews in water to cover for several hours. This step is

optional, but helps them blend better.

Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and bake cut side down at 350 degrees

F until very tender (45 minutes to one hour).

Scrape pumpkin from the peel and puree in a blender, with any juices, in

batches. Put pureed pumpkin into your soup pot.

Blend cashews in blender until smooth and add to the pumpkin puree.

Rinse the blender with a little water and add to the pot. Add a little

more water if it's too thick.

Add ginger and salt to taste and heat gently for a few minutes to blend

the flavors.

For an even easier variation, use frozen, cooked squash.

In a bowl coat the eggplant and the bell pepper lightly with 1

tablespoon of the oil and season the vegetables with salt and pepper.

In a foil-lined roasting pan arrange the eggplant, skin sides down, the

bell pepper, skin sides up, the onions, cut sides down, and the

tomatoes, cut sides down, and roast the vegetables in the upper third of

a pre-heated 400degree F. oven for 10 minutes. Put the garlic in the

pan near the tomatoes, roast the vegetables for 30 to 40 minutes more,

or until the bell pepper is charred, and let them cool. Remove the skin

from the bell pepper and the onions and coarsely chop the eggplant, the

bell pepper, the onions, and the garlic.

In a large kettle melt the butter with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil

over moderately high heat, add the chopped vegetables including the

garlic, the tomatoes, the thyme, the oregano, the basil, and enough of

the broth to just cover the mixture, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the bay leaf and simmer the soup for 30 minutes, or until it is

thickened slightly. In a blender or food processor puree the soup in

batches, transferring it as it is pureed to the cleaned kettle (the soup

will be thick and textured, flecked with black bits of the eggplant),

and heat it with the remaining broth over moderately low heat until it

is heated through.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle them with

mozzarella, and broil the croutons under a preheated broiler about 4

inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden.

Ladle the soup into 6 bowls and top each serving with 2 croutons.

Serves 6.

(Also, instead of full slices as croutons, after broiling, with a sharp

knife the toasted bread can be cut into smaller croutons and sprinkled

onto the soup)

UKRAINIAN SWEET AND SOUR BEAN AND CABBAGE SOUP

==============================================

Ingredients (note: these are all approximate, and this makes a very

large quantity of soup - but I freeze what remains when we get tired of

eating it in ziploc bags, and it saves me time the next time I feel like

making it)

Stock:

------

2 turkey legs

2-3 medium onions, chopped

Note:

-----

Originally this was made with pork (neck) bones, but I have found that

turkey tastes very similar in stock, and there is less fat to skim

Boil this for several hours. Either proceed with recipe, or cool down

and refrig. until you feel like proceeding

Soup:

-----

Add:

----

1 bag of sour kraut which has been rinsed several times to remove

some salt (this is about 1 lb)

1 chopped cabbage

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-diverse-soups-coll.html (22 of 25) [12/17/1999 12:03:44 PM]

3 shredded carrots

1 small can of tomato paste

1 can of "white beans" (great northern beans are what I use)

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

-------------

Add the sour kraut to the stock, after removing meat/bones. Cook this

covered for about 45 minutes. Next add the shredded carrots. Cook for

about 10 minutes. Then add the chopped cabbage, cooking for about 15

minutes, or until the fresh cabbage is tender. Then add the tomato

paste, mixing until it's dissolved. Now bring it back to boiling, and

cook for a couple of minutes. Next dump the beans in (you don't have to

drain them). Heat til boiling, then cover it and let it sit (if you're

not too hungry) for about an hour so the flavors can mix. If there is

not enough liquid, you can add water or tomato juice. Of course, add

salt and pepper to taste. This soup is a hearty winter one that goes

well with black bread and butter!

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/mp-diverse-soups-coll.html (23 of 25) [12/17/1999 12:03:44 PM]

3 stems of italian (flat) parsely

The chopped watercress stems*

1/2 tsp thyme (dried leaves) and 1/2 tsp sage (dried leaves)

(use less if you have powder)

1 bay leaf

1 tsp salt (you'll add more later)

Few grinds of pepper

Instructions:

-------------

Heat should be medium low, so it comes to a slow boil. (You can

make the rest of your dinner while this is happening.)

Let boil gently ca. 20 minutes, spoon off some and taste for salt

and pepper.

Remove garlic from oven, let cool, skin. Strain through cheesecloth or

fine sieve to get a clear stock. Smash up the garlic in a bit of the

stock, stir in to the stock. Bring to a furious boil. Kill the heat

immediately. When boiling is almost subsided, throw in watercress

leaves and stir around.

* The watercress stems may be a mistake. The stock was good but a little

flat, next time I'm going to try without the stems.

Egg Drop Soup

From: sandyv@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Sandy Vavrinek Seehusen)

Date: 25 Oct 1993 20:11:51 GMT

This is so easy you'll just love it. I make this quite often to

accompany stir fry.

2 cups chicken broth (homemade is best; a can of prefab will do in a pinch;

NEVER use bouillion cubes unless desperate)

1/8 t. white pepper

1/2 t. soy sauce

1/4 t. sesame oil (or less - I use a 'blop')

1 t. corn starch

1 egg

veggies (optional)

Heat broth, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil until it just begins to boil.

Add veggies if desired. (I usually add a Tablespoon or two of frozen corn or

peas and a chopped green onion for extra color and texture.) Add cornstarch

by mixing with either water or some of the broth to make a thin paste and

stirring it into the soup to thicken.

Whisk the egg and using a fork, drizzle over the boiling soup. Reduce heat

to keep it warm until ready to serve. This serves 2 people as a side or

as an appetizer. It's not quite enough for a full meal without fudging by

adding a little extra broth or water.

NOTES: All ingredient amounts can be varied to taste. The key ingredient

is the sesame oil. I sometimes like to add a little white pepper to the

egg before dropping it in the soup. The corn nibblets are a tasty addition,

but the peas get mushy if cooked too long.

Farmworkers' Chile Soup, Rosebud Texas

1906

From: jdurbin@netcom.com (Jason E. Durbin)

Date: Fri, 8 Oct 93 16:54:37 PDT

My grandmother passed this recipe on to me by feeding it to me every other

time I visited (aternative visits I was served chicken and dumplings). She

said she learned from the farm workers on her father's farm who cooked it in

a huge pot over an outside fire all day.

Ingredients:

2 Smoked Hamhocks (or more according to how much meat you want in the mix)

1 large Onion

1 bag Pinto Beans (other beans (kidney, red, etc) can be substituted)

Chile Powder (Gebhardt's for real Texas nostalgia)

water

oil

Saute the onions in the oil adding the hamhocks early enough to brown the

outside without burning the onions. Add the beans (no need to soak in my

experience) and enough water to cover beans and hocks with about an inch

extra. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer and leave for about an hour.

(Do not add salt yet! It makes the beans take much longer to cook). Add

water as needed to keep everything immersed.

Add chile powder to taste (anything past 2/3 of a large bottle is for

masochists only, but be sure to add enough to give a rich color and taste).

Cook until beans are tender. Remove hamhocks and strip the

meat off. Return the meat to the soup. Add water to create a more soupy

consistency than typical chile. Heat until hot enough to serve.

It's very easy.

Serve with corn bread, dark molasses and butter -- what do you see going

down mole holes? (sorry) (Brer Rabbit is traditional in my family). Even if

you have always hated molasses, I assure this taste combination will change

your mind -- well maybe.

French Onion Soup

From: Jody Rae Prival jp56+@andrew.cmu.edu

Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1993 11:00:33 -0400

Cross Indexed Soup, French

I've recently been making French onion soup. The recipe I've been using

is from the Chez Francois cookbook (Chez Francois is a rather good

French restaurant in the DC area).

I'm writing this from memory, but I'm pretty certain it's accurate.

You start off by making a white stock (fonds blanc)

2 lbs. veal bones

2 chicken carcasses, cut into pieces

1 gal. water

2 carrots, sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 celery stalk, sliced

2 leeks, washed well and sliced

6 cracked black peppercorns

4 parsley sprigs

2 sprigs thyme

2 bay leaves

Place bones, carcasses, and water in a large stock pot. Bring to a

boil. Reduce heat, skim fat, and add vegetables and herbs. Allow to

simmer for 4-5 hours partly covered, skimming fat as necessary. Strain

well (or just ladle the soup out, leaving the bones, etc. behind).

French onion soup

8 cups fonds blanc

3 cups onion, sliced

2 tbsp. butter

8 tbsp. mixed grated Gruyere and Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

1 baguette

Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan. Add the onion, and

cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are soft and

golden brown. Add the fonds blanc, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add salt

and pepper to taste.

In a 375 F oven place 16 1/2-inch slices of bread, cut into ~1-inch

pieces. Bake until golden brown (5-8 mins).

Put the soup into individual serving dishes, top with the croutons and 1

heaping tbsp. cheese each (I find I really need more like 2 tbsp each).

Brown the cheese under a broiler and serve immediately.

Ingredients

-----------

1 onion

1 T olive oil

1 T flour

2.5 cups chicken stock (home-made is best :-)

2 large lettuces - use only the greenest leaves

1 bunch spinach

2 small bunches of watercress

1 cup scalded milk

2-3 T cream

Freshly ground pepper

Bunch Parsley - finely chopped

Method

------

Wash and tear up lettuce, spinach, and watercress leaves.

Saute onion in olive oil until soft in large pan. Then stir into flour, and cook for

1 minute.

Add stock and bring to boil, stirring regularly.

Add leaves, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from heat, and allow to cool. When cool, place in blender, and puree.

This is a great recipe that I make often. Don't let the Velveeta

cheese turn you off. I never tried this recipe for a long time because

I thought made with Velveeta how good can it be. All I can say is give

it a try once and let me know what you think. It is one of my favorites.

Title :Jalapeno Cheese Soup

Serves :6

Keywords :Mexican, Soups, Hot & spicy

Ingredients:

6 c Chicken broth

8 Celery stalks

2 c Diced onion

3/4 ts Garlic salt

1/4 ts White pepper

2 lb Velveeta cheese

1 c Diced jalapeno peppers

Sour cream

Flour tortillas

Instructions:

Dice celery stalks, onions and jalapenos. Cut Velveeta into cubes.

In a large saucepan place the chicken broth, celery, onions, garlic

salt, and white pepper. Cook over high heat for 10 minutes, or until the

mixture reduces and thickens slightly.

In a blender or food processor place the broth and the cheese. Puree

them together until the mixture is smooth. Return the pureed mixture to

the saucepan and simmer it for 5 minutes. Add the diced peppers and mix

them in well.

Lemongrass Soup

From: najork@cs.uiuc.edu

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1993 15:24:11 GMT

Cross Indexed Soup, Thai

Here's a lemongrass soup recipe that I improvised because my husband

and I love Thai food but we don't have any Thai restaurants in town.

8 C. chicken stock

1/2 - 1 bunch cilantro

1 can straw mushroom

16 large shrimps, peeled, deveined

1 C. snow peas

1/3 C. shredded carrots (just for color)

juice of 1 lime

1/2 - 1 tsp. crushed red pepper

1 chili pepper, cut into rings

4 Tbsp. nam plah (you can find at Oriental food stores)

a few stalks of lemongrass (I would use about 6)

Bring the broth to a simmer. Add cruched red pepper and shrimp.

simmer for 5 min. Add lemongrass and simmer for another 5 min.

Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer a few minutes more.

Be careful not to over cook or the vegitables will lose their

color and will get limp.

Miso Soup

From: Rainer Thonnes rwt@dcs.ed.ac.uk

Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 17:17:53 GMT

1.5 cubic inches Miso (fermented soybean paste)

1 small Potato [*]

0.5 teaspoon Special Seasoning [**]

0.5 teaspoon Wakame (dried seaweed) [***]

few dashes Tamari soy sauce (optional)

Thinly slice the potato and boil it in enough water for 2 bowlsful of

soup. Meanwhile soak the wakame in cold water for a few minutes, during

which it will expand to about seven times its dry volume and lose some

of its salty taste. Add the special seasoning to the boiling potato.

Just before the potato is cooked, strain the seaweed (discarding the

water in which it has been soaking), and add it to the soup. When the

potato is cooked, remove from heat and add the miso. This is best done

by placing it into a small hand-held sieve or tea strainer, then dipping

it into the soup and jiggling it around. If necessary, gently force the

miso through the sieve using a teaspoon. Do not boil after miso has

been added as this will impair the flavour and consistency. Season to

taste with soy sauce if you like.

[*] You don't have to use potato. You can use carrot or almost any

other vegetable or even tofu.

[**] This special seasoning, obtainable at shops which specialise in

Japanese food ingredients, is a powder normally sold in 10g sachets. It

is sold particularly for Udon or Soba or Miso Soup, and for the latter

they recommend using 1g per serving. I understand it contains Bonito

among other things and adds a mildly fishy flavour. If you can't get

any, you can use the appropriate portion of a stock cube (fish or

vegetable would be best), but only make it about half strength or so,

you want most of the flavour of the soup to come from the Miso.

[***] Good quality Wakame comes in small fine leaves. If you can only

get the large coarse ones you may need to trim off the hard parts. Also,

if they're big, it's impractical to measure with a teaspoon, so just

break off a few pieces. If you can't get wakame at all you could use

scallions or green onions, particularly their leafy parts.

Mom's Vegetable Soup

From: narayan@aravali.everest.tandem.com (Pankaj Narayan)

Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1993 20:44:26 GMT

This is a soup that uses no broth, and so can be enjoyed by people

who shy away from soup because of the chicken broth requirement.

For about 3-4 large mugs of soup:

Take 1 large onion (red is probably too strong), half of a cabbage, and

perhaps one large potato or 2 small ones.

Wash these well, maybe cut them up in 2 or 3 large chunks each. Put

them in a pressure cooker and cover with water. Also put maybe 2 tbsp.

of uncooked rice to give it some thickness. Put water in to just about

0.75 inch above base... about 2 mugs. Put the lid on and cook for up

to 3 whistles. This takes 10 minutes or less.

If you do not have a pressure cooker, then cook for a longer time I

guess (3-4 hrs?)

Let the cooked mixture cool for some time. Next you have to puree the

whole mess in a blender and then run it through a sieve.

This is the base soup. When it is warm (not hot) put in some milk and

start to heat it. Put in salt to taste. Before serving, put in a few

drops oof vinegar.

Simple, yet hearty and yum.

Aush (Persian Ashe)

From: Sarah Henderson

Date: Tue, 21 Sep 1993 23:36:53 -0700 (PDT)

This is a Persian recipe, but is similar to the aush I have had in an

Afghan restaurant. 'Ash-e' means soup in Farsi. Persian noodles

(Reshteh) are available in Middle Eastern food shops. The author notes

that liquid kashke(whey) is available, but the quality isn't always good,

so she uses sour cream. She also suggests making the soup a day ahead of

serving.

From _Food of Life_, by Najmieh Batmanglij

Noodle Soup(Ash-e Reshteh)

1/4 cup red kidney beans, soaked

1/4 cup navy beans, soaked

1/4 cup chickpeas, soaked

3 onions, finely sliced

3 Tbsp. oil

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1 tsp. turmeric

10 cups water

1/2 cup lentils

1 cup beef broth

1/2 cup chives or scallions, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup dill weed, chopped

1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped

2 cups spinach(fresh or frozen), chopped

1 beet, peeled and chopped in 1/2 inch pieces

1/2 lb. flat egg noodles or Persian noodles(Reshteh)

1 Tbsp. flour

1 cup liquid kashke or sour cream, or 1/4 cup wine vinegar

*Gheimeh Garnish

1/4 lb. beef, in 1/2 inch cubes

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 Tbsp. oil

1/2 cup water

2 Tbsp. yellow split peas

1 tsp. tomato paste

1/4 tsp. saffron, dissolved in 1 Tbsp. hot water

Aush (Persian Ashe)

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/ashe-reshteh.html (1 of 2) [12/17/1999 12:04:25 PM]

1/2 tsp. salt

*Mint Garnish

1 onion, finely sliced

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 Tbsp. oil

1 tsp. dried mint flakes

Soup instructions:

In large pot, brown onions in oil. Add salt, 1/4 tsp. of the pepper, and

turmeric. Pour in water and add kidney beans. navy beans, and chickpeas.

Cover and simmer 45 minutes. Add lentils and broth. Cook 35 minutes.

Add scallions, dill, parsley, spinach, and beet. Stir occasionally and

cook 20 minutes or until done. Correct seasoning(add the rest of the

pepper if needed) and add more water if too thick. Add noodles, flour and

cook until noodles are done--about 10 minutes.

If using kashke or sour cream, set aside a heaping Tbsp. for garnish.

Stir 2 Tbsp. of soup into remaining sour cream. Stir this mixture slowly

into soup. Reheat just before serving, adding more water if it's too thick.

Gheimeh:

About 1/2 hour before serving, prepare gheimeh garnish. Brown meat,

onion, and garlic in oil. Stir in water and split peas. Cover and cook

20 minutes over low heat. Add tomato paste, saffron, and salt. Simmer

covered for 10 minutes.

Mint:

While gheimeh is simmering, prepare mint garnish. Brown onion and garlic

in oil. Remove from heat. Crush mint flakes in hand and stir into onion.

Pour soup into tureen, garnish with gheimeh and mint garnish and reserved

sour cream by floating them on top.

ROASTED YELLOW BELL PEPPERS AND TOMATO SOUP

Ingredients:

------------

COLLECTION: Pepper Soups

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/pepper-soup-coll.html (2 of 4) [12/17/1999 12:04:26 PM]

6 yellow bell peppers, roasted and chopped coarsely

3 tblsp shallots

1 tsp thyme

1 tblsp unsalted butter

1.5 cups chicken broth plus a little extra

0.5 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

-------------

In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter and saute the shallots with the

thyme until the shallots are soft. Add the chopped pepper and 1.5 c.

chicken broth. Simmer covered for 12-15 minutes, until peppers are very

soft. Puree in food processor. Pour back in saucepan and whisk in the

cream. Add chicken broth to get desired consistency (I added about an

extra tablespoon of broth). You can either use it now, or refrigerate

and reheat later.

2. Tomato Soup:

---------------

Ingredients:

------------

3 lbs Roma tomatoes

3 cloves garlic

3 tbsp shallots

1 tsp oregano

1 tbsp butter

1.5 cups chicken broth plus a little extra

0.5 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

-------------

Quarter tomatoes. Place skin side down in two jelly roll pans. Put

garlic cloves in one of the pans, also. Bake at 350 degrees for 45

minutes. Cook shallots and oregano in butter, then add the tomatoes and

garlic (removed from cloves and crushed) and the 1.5 cups of chicken

broth. Simmer 15 minutes. Puree, then whisk in cream. Add chicken

broth to get desired consistency (should be same consistency as pepper

soup). Either refrigerate or use it now.

To Serve:

---------

Take two cups and half-way (or more) fill one with pepper soup and the

other with tomato soup. From opposite sides of the individual serving

bowl, pour the soups in simultaneously. You'll end up with yellow soup

in one half of the bowl and red in the other half. Then drizzle the top

with some heavy cream that has been beaten with chopped jalapeno and a

little garlic (strain it before drizzling). Beautiful, and it tastes

great, too!

Categories: Mexican, Soups, Main dish

Servings: 12

2 lb Pork roast,cut in chunks

1/2 lb Pork rinds (skins)

2 Pork shanks or pigs feet

1 tb Salt

2 c Posole

1 ts Oregano

2 Cloves garlic, mashed

2 tb Chopped onion

4 Red chili pods,remove seeds

Place meat and pork rinds and pork shanks in a large kettle and add about

5 quarts of water or enough to cover meat. Add approximately 1 tablespoon

salt and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours.

Remove excess grease and set aside. Reserve liquid. Wash the posole very

carefully until the water is clear so as to remove lime from kernels. Put

in large kettle and cover with water. Boil until posole has popped. Mix

meat, posole, rind and shanks or pigs feet. Add oregano, garlic, onion and

chili pods. Let simmer for about 1/2 hour. Posole may be served as a main

dish with hard rolls, tortillas or crackers. Additional red chili sauce

may be added at serving time for more spice. NOTE:Posole can be found

in the meat section if it is available in your area, if not available,

hominy can be substituted in the same quantities but no rinsing or

pre-cooking is needed. The posole will lose its authenticity but none of

its tastiness if pork rinds, pork shanks or pigs feet are omitted. You can

also add one can of tomatoes to enhance the flavor.

Pumpkin Soup - COLLECTION

From: hammond@odin.scd.ucar.edu (Steve Hammond)

Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1993 19:44:36 GMT

This recipe is from D. Madison & E.E. Brown, "The Greens Cookbook",

Bantam, 1987

Pumpkin Soup w/ Gruyere cheese

For this soup use Sugar pumpkins or Perfection squash - both are sweet and

full-flavored without being stringy and watery. Delicata and butternut,

though milder, are delicious. The stock is a simple one, using the seeds

and scrapings of the pumpkin or squash, a few vegetables, and herbs.

The Stock

Seeds and scrapings from the pumpkin or squash

2 carrots, peeled and diced

1 celery stock, plus some leaves, chopped into small pieces

1 turnip, peeled and diced

2 bay leaves

..5 tsp dried sage leaves or 5-6 fresh sage leaves

4 parsley branches

3 thyme branches

..5 tsp salt

8 cups cold water

Cut pumpkin or squash in half and scrape out all the seeds and stringy

material with a large metal spoon. Put them in a pot with remaining

ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer for 25 minutes, and then strain.

The Soup

1 pumpkin or squash, weighing about 2.5 pounds, halved and scooped out

3 Tbs butter

1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice

..5 tsp salt

6-7 cups stock

..5 to 1 cup light cream

white pepper

3 oz Gruyere cheese, finely grated

Thyme leaves, finely chopped, for garnish

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mjw/recipes/soup/pumpkin-soup-coll.html (1 of 4) [12/17/1999 12:04:33 PM]

Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake the pumpkin halves, skin up, on a lightly

oiled baking sheet until the skin is wrinkled and the flesh is soft, about

an hour. Remove them from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, peel

off the skin. Reserve and carmelized juices that may collect in the pan.

Melt butter in a soup pot, add the onion, and cook over medium heat fo

about 5 minutes. Add the cooked pumpkin, the juices, if any, the salt,

and about 6 cups of the stock. Bring to a boil; then simmer, covered,

for 25 minutes.

Pass the soup through a food mill, which will smooth it out while

leaving some texture. Return the soup to the pot and add the cream

and more stock, if necessary to thin it.

Taste for salt and seasoning. Add Freshly ground white pepper. Stir

in the grated cheese and serve the soup with some thyme leave scattered

over it.

Springs Gazette Telegraph. I modified it somewhat. It

turned out great!

Pumpkin Soup:

1 med. onion, chopped

1/4 c. butter

2 c. cooked mashed pumpkin

4 c. pumpkin cooking water

2 heaping tsp. chicken soup base

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. curry powder

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

1 T. dry parsley

1 c. milk

1 c. half and half

2 tsp. salt

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Saute onion in butter till golden. Stir in pumpkin, water,

chicken base, bay leaf, sugar, curry, nutmeg and parsley.

Bring to simmer and simmer uncovered 15 min., stirring

occasionally. The recipe called for pureeing in batches in

a blender or processor. I didn't do this-it didn't need it

IMHO. Add half and half in a thin stream, stirring while

adding. Add milk in the same manner. Add salt and pepper.

Simmer 5-10 min.

Notes:

The original recipe called for 1 lg. onion, sliced, and 3/4

c. sliced scallions, white part only.

It called for a 16 oz. can of pumpkin instead of cooking

your own pumpkin. I cut off the peel of a volleyball sized

pumpkin, scraped out the seeds, then cut the remaining stuff

into approx. 1 inch cubes. I added water to about halfway

up to the top of the cubes. I brought to a boil, then simmered

slowly 45 min., stirring occasionally. I then removed the

cooked cubes, reserving the cooking water. I mashed the cubes.

To be honest, I didn't measure the pumpkin pulp or the pumpkin

cooking water, but it looked to be the amount of pumpkin and

water I mentioned above. The original recipe also called for

4 c. chicken broth in place of the pumpkin cooking water and

chicken base.

The recipe called for 2 c. half and half, but I loked it

just fine with milk and half and half.

Quebec Pea Soup / Salted herbs

Commentary as written in the book.

Pea Soup, Beauce Style (serves 8)

======================

This hearty soup is a specialty at Auberge Benedict Arnold in St. Georges.

It's the most requested dish of American visitors, says chef Renaud Jacques,

who was born in St. Elzear. In summer, he flavors it with fresh hrbs. The

rest of the year, he uses Quebec's favorite salted herbs (recipe follows).

Imperial Ingredients Metric

-------- ----------- ------

2 cups dried white pea beans 500 ml / 450 g

2 tbsp. butter 25 ml

1/2 cup chopped onion 125 ml

1/4 cup chopped leek, white part only 50 ml

1/4 cup smoked ham, plus ham bone 50 ml

1/2 lb. salt pork 250 g

1 clove garlic 1

8 cups cold water 2 L

2 tbsp. salted herbs (see below), rinsed in 25 ml

cold water

Soak peas for at least 8 hours or overnight in water to cover; drain. Heat

butter in a large heavy hot and saute onion and leek just until tender. Add

peas, ham, salt pork (in one piece), garlic, water and salted herbs. Bring

quickly to a boil, lower heat, partly cover, and cook gently for 2-3 hours or

until peas are tender. Stir occasionally during cooking, adding more water if

necessary. Remove salt pork, cut in small pieces, then return to soup.

may be frozen.

Salted Herbs (5-6 cups / 1.25 - 1.5 litres)

============

Herbs preseved with vegetables and salt make a lively seasoning for soups --

particularly pea soup -- sauces, stews, and omelettes. A commercial brand,

Les Herbes Salees du Bas du Fleuve, is marketed by J.Y. Roy of St. Flavie and

can be found in Montreal specialty stores. This recipe comes from the Metis

district.

1/4 - 1/2 cup coarse salt 50 - 125 ml

In a large bowl, combine herbs and vegetables. Layer 1" / 2.5 cm of herb

mixture in the bottom of a crock or glass bowl and sprinkle with some of the

salt. Repeat layers until all of the herb mixture and salt is used.

Quick & Dirty Miso Soup

From: Kristen McQuillin kristen@foxholly.pgh.pa.us

Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1993 09:36:25 -0400 (EDT)

1 packet dashi (fish flakes)

1/2 c miso (red or yellow)

2 scallions

1/4 lb tofu

1/4 t ginger (fresh grated)

Make fish broth by boiling the fish flakes in about a quart of water until

the water is pale yellow and tastes fishy. Strain the flakes from the broth.

Slice the scallions into very thin rounds, cut the tofu into small cubes

and add both to the broth. When the scallions are soft (just a few

minutes) add the miso and ginger. Heat (without boiling) to serving

temperature.

NOTES: You can use "instant dashi" (like bullion cubes) or real fish to

make the fish broth.

Garlic (sliced into very thin ovals) is also very good in this soup. Add

with the scallion and tofu.

Split Pea Soup

Date: 26 Sep 1993 19:13:05 GMT

I have a batch of this cooking now and thought I would post it. I usually

double the recipe and freeze it in individual servings. It's easy and

always tastes great.

From an old Betty Crocker Cookbook

Ingredients:

8 cups water

1 pound dried split peas (about 2-1/4 cups)

1 to 2 lb smoked ham

1 med onion

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 or 3 carrots chopped

2 or 3 stalks celery chopped

Heat water and peas to boiling. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat

and cover. Let sit for 1 hour.

Add ham (whole), onion, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until peas are

tender, about 1 hour.

Remove ham and trim meat from bone. (I usually use 1 lb boneless smoked ham)

Cut ham to 1/2 inch pieces. Stir ham, carrots, and celery into soup. Cover

and simmer until veggies are tender, about 45 minutes.

Like I said, it freezes well and is a very convenient side to a sandwich or

whatever.

Put contents of pan through a blender till an even consistency has been

achieved.

Tip back into pan and add 5 fl oz fresh orange juice and fresh ground

black pepper. Reheat, but do not boil.

Serve marbled with plain yoghourt.

Prepare meatballs as above. Prepare cabbage soup

as above, but strip off the large outer leaves of the

cabbage and shred only the inner portion. Blanch the

large leaves to soften, and fold each one carefully around

a portion of the meat-mixture. Place each cabbage role

CAREFULLY into the cooking soup and cook approx. 3 hours

or till done.

I usually make large batches of this cabbage soup--

it keeps well in the fridge, reheats marvellously,

and freezes well too.

4-5 tblsp oregano

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

-------------

In a large pot, place the chicken, pork, and chiles, and cover with

chicken stock. Simmer for 45 minutes. If you wish at this point you

may remove the chicken and remove the skin and bones, returning the meat

to the pot, as it is easier to eat this way. Add the hominy and

continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the meat is done and

tender. Season to taste.

Serve the soup in large bowls, making certain that each gets pork,

chicken and hominy. Place the lettuce, limes, oregano, and onion in

serving bowls and allow each guest to garnish their own bowl of soup.

It's simply wonderful!

Ingredients:

------------

1 large can of tomato juice

about a cup of bread crumbs

1 green bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

fresh hot peppers to taste

1 sweet onion

lots and lots of garlic

as much fresh coriander as can handle

fresh basil

one or two really ripe fresh tomatos

spices to taste including cumin, paprika and thyme

salt to taste

sugar to taste

the juice of a couple of lemons and/or limes

Instructions:

-------------

Put all of the bread crumbs, the garlic, 1/2 of the green pepper, the

hot peppers (I recommend habaneros, but only if you like it really

deadly), about half of the coriander, half of the basil. 1/2 the

tomatos, all the spices and the citrus juice, and enough of the tomato

juice to moisten the whole thing. Puree. Pour in bowl. Add the rest

of the tomato juice, coriander, basil and vegetables in a dice. Let sit

in the fridge for an hour or so. Eat.

This is just a basic recipe, but a true gazpacho merely had bread crumbs

and liquid, and I have a recipe for a white gazpacho with just white

wine and grapes that I'll post if there is any interest.

chicken broth. Simmer covered for 12-15 minutes, until peppers are very

soft. Puree in food processor. Pour back in saucepan and whisk in the

cream. Add chicken broth to get desired consistency (I added about an

extra tablespoon of broth). You can either use it now, or refrigerate

and reheat later.

soup). Either refrigerate or use it now.

To Serve:

---------

Take two cups and half-way (or more) fill one with pepper soup and the

other with tomato soup. From opposite sides of the individual serving

bowl, pour the soups in simultaneously. You'll end up with yellow soup

in one half of the bowl and red in the other half. Then drizzle the top

with some heavy cream that has been beaten with chopped jalapeno and a

little garlic (strain it before drizzling). Beautiful, and it tastes

great, too!

Broccoli, Onion and Cheese Soup

5 tablespoons butter

2 large Bermuda onions, thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 sprigs of fresh thyme

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup sweet white wine

3 cups chicken stock

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmet

dash of cayenne

1/2 pound Jarlsberg cheese, grated

1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese

1 bunch of broccoli, separated into 1 1/2 inch florets (about 4 cups)

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch dice

In a large flameproof casserole, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over

moderately high heat. Add the onions, black pepper, thyme and sugar.

Reduce the heat to moderately low, place a circle of waxed paper directly

over the top of the onions and cover tightly with a lid. Simmer, stirring

occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden, about 1 hour and

15 minutes.

Remove the cover and the waxed paper and increase the heat to moderate.

Cook until the onions are golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the

chicken stock and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15

minutes.

In a large saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter over moderate

heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes without

browning. Whisk in the milk, cream, dry mustard, nutmeg and cayenne and

and reduce the heat to low. Cook until softened but not browned, about

10 minutes.

Increase heat to moderate and add the spinach leaves by the handful,

stirring to wilt them before adding the next handful. When all the

spinach has been added, cook for about 1 minute to completely soften

the spinach.

In a food processor, puree the soup in batches until smooth. Return

the soup to the pan and stir in the stock and milk. Simmer over moderate

heat until heated through. Season with the salt and pepper. Serve in

Vegetable Soup

From: lussierj@jsp.umontreal.ca (Lussier Jean-Francois)

Date: Thu, 14 Oct 1993 05:43:40 GMT

Nothing's easier then making vegetable soup: you don't even need a recipe.

Just a few hints and tricks...

First of all, you need good base. A chicken broth is a good start. To make

one, buy yourself 30 cents worth of chicken. Let it boil with 2 liters of

water and a little salt for two or three hours. You actually need around 2

or 3 cups of the stuff, depending on how much soup you want to make, and

strong your broth is.

Then buy yourself fresh vegetables: Try patatoes, tomatoes, onions, zucchinis,

mushrooms, spinachs... etc. 5 to 8 different vegetables, not more than that.

Add salt, pepper, garlic and one spice of your choice, like teragoen, origano

or rosemary. Once again, don't over do it! You want to be able to taste every

ingredient in your soup.

The broth is very important. It's what brings all the taste together.

Then put the broth and the vegetables in one large cauldron. Add water until

it reaches 2/3 of the cauldron. Add the salt. Set your stove to medium heat

and let leave it alone for a good 3 to 4 hours. You can add water if you find

there's not enough of it. Add your main spice half an hour before the soup is

done.

There it is! If you wish to add rice or pastas, i suggest you add them already

cooked, within the last hour of cooking.

3 leeks (white part only), chopped

1 1/2 pound zucchini, peeled and diced

4 cups chicken stock

1 bunch of watercress, tough stems removed

substitute milk for a lower fat version)

salt and freshly ground pepper

In a large heavy saucepan, melt the butter over moderately low heat. Add

the leeks and cook until softened but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the zucchini, increase the heat to moderately hight and saute for 2

heat to moverate and simmer until the zucchini is just tender, about 5

minutes. Add the watercress and simmer for 1 minutes longer.

Using a food processor or blender, puree the soup, in batches, until smooth.

Add the cream, if desired and season with salt and pepper to taste.
