Autum Soup Recipes

[rockquarry]

Made a batch of split pea soup this week. It freezes well.

Tortilla soup is also a favorite, but it's a bit more trouble to make than many other soups as you have to have two pots going, one with cubed chicken and the other with everything else which eventually has to be pureed before adding the cooked chicken.

A bit off topic but I recently made about nine dozen tamales, something I do about every six months. These go good with a favorite soup(?) - chili. Tamales are a lot of trouble, sort of like making ravioli from scratch but versatile and can be a delicious meal with nothing else but salsa or hot sauce.

I have two favorite soups: Potato and Bean. Here are both recipes.

Potato Soup

1 1/2 cups cooked diced ham (sometime I use bacon)
1 cup celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp dry mustard
Nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup cream
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 large potatoes, diced and cooked till tender
1 can cream style corn
dash or two of hot sauce
corn starch or *flour


Cook celery, onion in the butter in a large saucepan. Add ham when vegetable are beginning to soften. When vegetable are softened add milk, cheese, potatoes and corn, mustard and simmer 5 minutes. To thicken soup to desired consistency I add 1 1/2 tbsp corn starch dissolved into a small amount of cold water into the soup and bring to a boil for 1 minute. *You could also use 3 tbsp flour but you would need to add that to the vegetables before adding the liquids. You could also use potato flakes to thicken it. Add hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. I like to add nutritional yeast flakes because it enhances the cheese flavor, but you could also use a small amount of parmesan cheese. FYI nutritional yeast flakes smell strong but they really do make it taste great.

Bean Soup

1 lb. Navy or Great Northern Beans
1 ham bone or ham hock
7 cups water
1 Large Onion, diced
3 Ribs of celery, chopped fine
1 Large potato, peeled and finely diced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1½ teaspoons of salt
½ teaspoons of black pepper
2 Tablespoons of chopped Parsley

Soak the beans overnight. Drain and place in pot with ham (bone of hock) and water. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender. Remove ham (bone of hock), discard bone, skin, and dice meat. Return meat to pot and continue simmering and add onion, celery, potato salt and pepper. Simmer until potato pieces are soft (30-45 minutes). Remove pot from heat and mash with a potato masher until soup is a bit creamy. Garnish with parsley.

This is my most recent effort at veg. beef. Beef stew meat, beef broth, frozen mixed vegetables, frozen corn, canned tomatoes, pearl onions, diced potatoes, salt, pepper. Store was out of barley, so I didn't add any this time.

Verdict according to my son: "I hate soup, but this is good."

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the carcass of the bird. Many things can be done with it but my favorite is making a big pot of turkey noodle soup. Great stuff and the big pot is divided into smaller portions, frozen and will last till Easter when I can use the ham bone to make ham and beans. Soup, stew, it is all good.

Tonight's stew was done with Ruthie's homemade beef bone broth that she makes in advance and freezes. She does the same with turkey, ham and chicken bones.
