Soups and Stews
We got this recipe from the back of a children's book
We layered the soup ingredients into pint jars and put a round of fabric and a little fiber fill on the flat lid before screwing on the ring. It was a nice gift for the girls in our girl’s club to give their moms. The soup is pretty good too!
Our usual Sunday lunch during fall, winter and spring consists of soup and a make-your-own-sandwich table. This is a common soup served, I guess partly because we have our chickens to feed us after we've fed them for a year. Our younger kids like the dry chicken noodle soup prepared just with water too, but they know I try to serve lots of vegetables so they like this version as well. Our garden often supplies the vegetables needed.
We use the same basic recipe for cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, asparagus, or mushroom soups. Use the desired vegetable in place of potato. Add complimentary seasonings and herbs. Use a milder, white cheese with cauliflower and broccoli. Cumin seasons cauliflower.
I got this recipe from a lady who is from India. It has all of the curry called for, which might be a little strong for some.
Brown and drain:
- 1 lb. hamburger
- 1 onion (or onion powder)
Add:
- 2 cans hot chilli beans
- 1 can (6 oz.) tomato sauce
- 1 cup picante sauce (mild or hot)
Serve with:
- shredded cheddar cheese (on top)
- corn bread (on side)
Combine the following:
- 1 lb. hamburger (browned slightly)
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup chopped carrots
- 14 cups water
- 4 cups canned tomatoes
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
Simmer for two hours. During last half hour of cooking, add:
Soups with this flavour are called "Beppe's Soup" by the Bakker clan. Pake usually makes really small meatballs. The delicious flavour is a combination of the Dutch meatball spice and the Honing brand Spring Vegetable Soup mix. Maggi is also used to flavour it. My version is a little different from Beppe's but it is the same basic taste.
The grade 6 class makes this as part of their unit on pioneers. Then they usually make biscuits with it. At college Jonathan and Dawn both had roommates from Prince Edward Island (potato country), so they have had this at college as well.
Our RCYF (young people) has an annual soup and pie supper. We serve vegetable soup, pea soup, chilli, chicken soup, creamed chicken taverns and potluck pies. I like the chicken soup recipe and make half a recipe (omitting Lipton soup) often for our family. I use whatever broth forms while cooking the chicken.
Mix together in crock pot:
1 can Cream of Chicken soup (dilute soup according to directions)
1 can milk
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
dash of paprika
1 pkg. frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup diced cooked ham
1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese
Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
The past couple of years I have made this quite often. I usually include all of these ingredients, amounts may vary. I like to savour the smell so I often let it simmer for hours. Freeze the extra for a future busy time, or bring some to a neighbour or friend. This has to be nutritious!
