DD's favorite food is soup, so I am always trying new recipes. i made a variation of this last week that she loved http://www.thefirstmess.com/2013/08/21/vegan-millet-corn-chowder-with-greens-recipe/ I blended up some of the broth with raw cashews to make it creamier.

this is the original recipe i made that gave me the cashew idea, this one was really good too

Her school went nut free this year, so it is hard because i like to send her soup in a thermos for lunch, but can't if i use cashews, but cashews make it more nutritious. Oh well. Better than a kid dying indeed!

Yes!  The beet soup looks good, but DH is absolutely not a beet fan. 

I find that roasted beets do not have a different flavor from the canned beets, esp. when used in recipes.

I made a plain pea soup in the slow cooker last night; it's tonight's dinner.

Am planning on finding some new soup recipes, though.

That looks good.  I'm going to try it, but am missing a few ingredients.  Off to the grocery tomorrow.

It does look really good.  It's going to be rainy tomorrow, I might have to make it!

[triciaflower]

It was definitely better the second and third day. For sure. This one needs the time for the flavors to meld.

"Contemplating Soup" great name for a Zen food blog.

I made the cauliflower soup a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

I bought the ingredients for the cauliflower soup today.  Made the trip to the grocery store by bike, no less.  Help, I'm turning into some kind of quiche-eating, low carbon emitting, hippy!

I think you're safe ... hippies and quiches don't quite go hand in hand.   

This was a favorite from last year:

 i think i am going to make a butternut squash soup today, i found a gorgeous, huge one at the market today.

DD got some lentil soup at the natural food store with DH yesterday for lunch and i ate all the leftovers, it was really good, kinda thai in flavor. Red lentils, coconut milk, spices.

I made a couple good soups lately. I made a garden vegetable soup with all the veggies from my garden (tomato, green beans, zucchini, bell pepper, and leeks) and the other night I made potato leek soup because it was cold and rainy out.

[caribougrrl]

we've been having trouble regulating our refrigerator (I fear it is dying on us) and as a result ended up with 3 lbs of frozen tomatoes... 

so we oven-roasted the tomatoes, then pan-roasted (on a dry cast iron skillet) a couple small onions, several garlic cloves, a fresh hot pepper... once the pan roasted veg were cool enough to handle, they were peeled and coarsely chopped then sauteed in a bit of olive oil and butter... a bit of tequila splashed in and evaporated... tomatoes skinned and chopped and added, then about 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth; brought to a boil and simmered for a couple hours... pureed, heated through and served with some fried tortilla strips

I made potato soup tonight; first time in my life.

How did it come out?

I burned the crap out of my arm making soup this weekend.

I made Caldo de Res. Beef soup with lots of chunky vegetables. Omitted some vegetables that aren't compliant with my way of eating right now.

Potatoes, rice, corn?

you ok?

How did it come out?

I was quite surprised.  I sauteed some onions, garlic, carrots, threw in boiled potatoes, and then added chicken broth and a little milk, pepper, etc.  Blended the whole thing, added baby spinach.  I served it with parmesan cheese.  Very easy and tasty.

Good way to use the boiled potatoes that did not get eaten at a race.

you ok?

Yep...just burnt. I will survive.

I went thru a potato soup phase this summer - I added leeks, parsley and turkey bacon.
