Oh, this sounds fantastic! Will be adding this to the list to try.

Picote, I forgot to specify the amount of lentils and kale above, but since corrected. I used ½ cup, and 1 lb of roughly chopped kale to make this soup very chunky. Then I seasoned it with balsamic vinegar near the end, a little at a time til it suited my taste, about 2 tbsp. YMMV.

It ain't a party til mags shows up. -wonderwoman

bubbling away downstairs is a white bean, fennel and pork soup... as a way to use the end of a pork rib roast... it smells like there's a good bit of parmesan in there too...

I made taco soup this week, kenyan's not big on soup but he likes this.

1/2 chopped onion
1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
1 can cream of potato soup (I suppose you could just dice a potato and add a bit of milk and flour to the soup instead)
1 cup frozen corn
1 pkg taco seasoning, or chili powder/garlic powder/cumin/cayenne/salt/pepper to taste
1 cup beef broth (I usually use chicken base instead)

Saute onions until soft, then add ground beef and cook through.  Drain grease if necessary.  Add all other ingredients and simmer for two hours until flavors meld.  If you want to make it vegetarian, add a can of pinto or kidney beans instead of the ground beef and use veggie stock instead of beef broth.  Serve with tortilla chips, grated cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.

Kenyan says I should end my post with this:   :eats:

this was quite good. It's very lemony and gingery, but I loved it!

This was delicious! I left out the red pepper flake and it was plenty hot for me.

Looking for a good roasted red pepper and Gouda soup.

Maybe something in between one that uses butter and heavy cream and one that uses neither with unsalted chicken broth.

Thanks!

Roasted red pepper in combination with Gouda does not sound authentic... Gouda is Dutch, and red peppers are definitely not. That is first thing that came to mind when I read this.

But they are both in my refrigerator, and the idea sounded appealing, so...

This one is a classic fave in my house. It takes forever to make, but cooking the white mire poix veg at low temp for the 40 minutes really brings it all together into a really lovely bowl of soup. I halve he recipe and it's still at least 6 servings.

I really *loved* this. BF was a bit put off by the intensity of the flavors. It's lemony! and Gingery! in a way I found really delightful.

Diablita shared this here at some point. It's a good one and should be in this thread. :)

I posted about this one in yammering too, but wanted to capture it here as well. This is a really great recipe & super duper easy. I think I'd use my food processor to chop the onion and then also to chop the carrots next time to cut down on cooking time. I had huge carrots and they took a little while to break down.

I added a good size nob of ginger, double the red curry paste (it's a kind of heat that sneaks up on you-- so add slowly), squeezed less lime than suggested, and topped with toasted almonds and fried shallot.

I have made almost the same thing with butternut squash.

I'm bumping up the soup thread.  Made the most delicious vegan/paleo "cream" of cauliflower soup tonight.  I think I made it once long ago but I tweaked it a tiny bit this time and it turned out phenomenal:

http://www.marinmamacooks.com/2011/10/cauliflower-soup/

Tweaks:
I added a dash of smoked spanish paprika
I drizzled a bit of sesame oil before serving
I made crispy roasted shiitake mushrooms (shiitakes tossed in olive oil and salt, then roasted at 400 for 25 minutes)

Otherwise I made it as is with none of the add-ins like raw cashews or parmesan cheese.
