On a cold day it's hard to beat a warm cup of delicious soup.
If you have an Instant Pot, many of the recipes below have instructions for saving some time when making your soup.
If you have a Vitamix or Blendtec blender, have you tried making soup in it yet? No? Some of the recipes below have instructions for blender soup.
This section is under construction, as it were, but the recipes are MOSTLY finished. At least the soups are edible.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
I didn't like broccoli much as a kid but my dad added cheddar cheese on top one day and made the broccoli quite a bit better (at least easier to eat).
There are a couple of broccoli cheddar soup recipes that I've developed and really like but these days I tend to prefer the blender version which is so creamy and delicious.
For those of you with an Instant Pot and a Vitamix blender, this is the recipe for you.
Brown Stock
Brown Stock
This is the base for stock for French Onion Soup. When it cools it gels and this is exactly what you want.
I did a lot research on this one and found an article where someone did a timed test to get the perfect gel. The cook time in my recipe is based on that article.
Chicken Stock
Chicken Stock
I typically make my stock with scraps of bone and skin and scraps like peels and ends of vegetables.
QUICK TIP: When prepping onions, celery and carrots save all of the clean and ends and peels in a bag in the freezer. When it's time to make stock use these bits and pieces for flavor or to make vegetable stock.
Pizza Soup
Pizza Soup
Seriously! Pizza soup? Come on, really?
When I first stumbled on a recipe for pizza soup I was immediately intrigued. After all, who doesn't like pizza? (OK, so someone probably doesn't, but let's assume everyone does).
The recipe I found was vegetarian and looked really good but my favorite pizza is topped with some meats as well as veggies. The original recipe also seemed to be light on the "toppings" so I decided to make some serious changes. This came out so good!
If you more interested in a vegetarian version, simply eliminate the meats from this recipe. It will be nearly as good.
Roasted Red Pepper Shrimp Chowder
Roasted Red Pepper Shrimp Chowder
I spent a couple of days researching flavors and spices for this recipe so I'd have something to bring to a pot-luck soup dinner.
The first time I made this the final color was an odd yellowish green and I was wondering if it would get eaten. When I went back to the pot at the end of the evening all but a 1/2 cup was gone and people were asking for the recipe. It's a little complicated to make but worth the trouble.
Hot & Sour Five-Spice Chicken Soup
Hot & Sour Five-Spice Chicken Soup
When I developed this recipe I had been craving Asian restaurant style hot and sour soup and I had some left over, uncooked five-spice chicken in the fridge that I made for Vietnamese spring rolls.
When the soup was done cooking and I tasted it I was surprised how good it was, vaguely reminiscent of the hot & sour soup I was craving but with a five spice twist.
