OT--Soups 2004
Last winter, Chad asked for soup recipes, and a wonderful thread developed.
I thought I had saved the various recipes posted, but I can't find them on my hard-drive now :-( Here's hoping people can help: now that I'm back driving the school bus, and overly busy with kidlets (Chris has figured out how to crawl--time to invest in more baby gates--Alex still figures the best mode of transportation is to lie on the floor and cry until someone picks him up), I need two types of dinners: something I can (quickly) assemble in the crockpot at about 11:00am or noon and have ready to dish up at about 6:15pm, and something I can (quickly) assemble on the stovetop or in the microwave at about 5 or 5:30pm and have ready to dish up at about 6:15. Oh, and if the ingredients could be "staples" in the kitchen, or stuff that can be bought during the weekly shopping trip and stay good until used...I don't seem to have a lot of time to pop into the grocery store on a daily basis anymore :-} TIA Marie Meet Macula at http://members.rogers.com/mmcw/ Meet the Kidlets at http://ca.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/mmcw2 |

Just now on rec.foods.cooking there's a whole soup thread going on. I
subscribed over there at the moment I realized I was more interested in the off topic food threads here than the dog ones. As here, there's a whole cast of characters that takes a while to get to know. As here, there's a wealth of information that folks are glad to share. They've been known to tell someone to go google, and there's the usual set of villains best avoided, but on the whole I recommend the place. To answer your question specifically, the staples for soup that can be bought ahead a onions, carrots, potatoes, cabbage or cauliflower, turnips, rutabaga, sweet potato. (All, or some of those.) The soups fall into 3 categories: those requiring frozen chicken stock (bought or home made ahead), those requiring V-8 tomato juice, those requiring milk or cream. You can also get a fresh ingredient like parsley or zucchini, some vegetable that doesn't last as long as the staples. Then you learn how to make a basic chicken and vegetable soup, a basic tomato soup and a basic cream of soup and go from there. --Lia Marie wrote: something I can (quickly) assemble in the crockpot at about 11:00am or noon and have ready to dish up at about 6:15pm, and something I can (quickly) assemble on the stovetop or in the microwave at about 5 or 5:30pm and have ready to dish up at about 6:15.

It isn't soup, my one of my fav. croc pot meals is a crock pot chicken
recipe that a friend of mine gave me. 4 chicken breasts, frozen or thawed 1 can cream of mushroom (or chicken) soup 1 small can mushrooms (stems and pieces), drained 1 small onion, chopped salt, pepper, herbs to taste Put it all in the crock pot and cook on low for at least 4 hours. It's really simple and tastes pretty darn good. -- Shelley & Rusty http://www.bump.us/rusty "Marie" wrote in message le.rogers.com...
