Leek and potato is a favourite round here.

1 rasher bacon
1 leek cut up
1 clove garlic crushed
3 potatoes diced
3-4 cups chicken stock

Brown bacon, add leeks and garlic and cook on low till cooked but not brown. Add potato and stock, simmer about 20 mins. You're meant to mush it up, but I like it better lumpy.

I made West African peanut soup last week. Sounds weird but it was so good!

West African Peanut Soup
As found in “Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant” .

2 cups chopped onions
1 Tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
˝ tsp cayenne or other round chiles
1 tsp grated peeled fresh ginger root
1 cup chopped carrots (chop them very fine or grate if you don’t have a blender available)
2 cups chopped sweet potato
4 cups vegetable stock or water
2 cups tomato juice
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup chopped scallions or chives (These are an integral part of the soup, not a garnish - add a whole bunch in before serving, it adds a nice balance to the sweetness.)

Sauté the onions in the oil until just translucent. Stir in the cayenne and fresh ginger. Add the carrots and sauté a couple more minutes. Mix in the potatoes and stock or water, bring the soup to a boil and then simmer for 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Using a blender, purče the vegetables with the cooking liquid and the tomato juice. (If a blender is not available, a vigorous and thorough mashing may substitute). Return the purče to the soup pot. Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. Taste the soup, its sweetness will depend on the sweetness of the carrots and sweet potatoes. If it’s not there add just a little sugar to enhance the other flavors. Feel free to refrigerate this base for up to a week.

Reheat the soup gently, being sure to prevent scorching. If necessary, you can add more water, stock or tomato juice for a thinner soup. Serve topped with plenty of scallions or chives.

I started a chicken soup yesterday and we'll have that for tea tonight. Boil up 1 plus chicken carcasses (I got 3 from the supermarket for $2.11 last week) with a diced onion. After about an hour or so, turn off andremove the carcasses. When a bit cooler, pull chicken off the bones and put into the stock. If not having that night, can put in the fridge so can skim off any fat. Add grated carrot and lots of corn, some sage and some noodles. If you want to extend it a bit just add water and some dried chicken stock.Lastly, add whatever else you want - gotta love soup recipes! lol  I usually make this really thick with lots of noodles. YUM!

Roasted vege soup is a favourite here:

Roast kumara, carrot, parsnip, pumpkin, onion and red pepper.  Blend with chicken stock until you get the consistency you want.  Delicious with a dollop of sour cream on the top to serve.

Bizzy I'm going to try your bacon hock one next I think.  I've tended to stick to vege soups until now so will be nice to try something different.

I second that, Kobec! That's the best way to do pumpkin.

Alrighty, another kid friendly soup.

SPLIT PEA AND HAM

2 and 1/2 cups green split peas
4 rindless bacon rashers
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 celery stick, sliced
10 and 1/2 cups cold water
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 large potato, roughly diced
1 bacon hock
freshly ground black pepper

Put the split peas into a bowl, cover with cold water and leave to soak overnight.

Cut the bacon into small pieces. In a large saucepan dry fry the bacon for 4-5 minutes or until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.

Add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the fat in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened but not brown. Return the bacon to the pan with the water.

Drain the split peas and add to the pan with the thyme, bay leaves, potato and bacon hock. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook gently for 1 hour.

Remove the thyme, bay leaves and hock. Process the soup in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return to a clean pan. Cut the meat from the hock, add to the soup and heat through gently. Season with plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Ladle into warm soup bowls and serve.

Serves 4.]]> Wed, 21 May 2008 16:03:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17340&PID=389970&title=post-your-favourite-soup-recipe-here#389970 <![CDATA[Post your favourite soup recipe here! : Hey maya i hate the task of cutting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17340&PID=389291&title=post-your-favourite-soup-recipe-here#389291 Author: kobec

Hey maya i hate the task of cutting up pumpkin for soup as well but a friend gave me a very handy hint. Cut the pumpkin into big chunks and put in a microwave safe bowl (with the skin left on) with lid and cook for 10 minutes then scrape our of skin. Very easy and makes making soup heaps easier and alot less stressful.......]]> Tue, 20 May 2008 21:56:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17340&PID=389291&title=post-your-favourite-soup-recipe-here#389291 <![CDATA[Post your favourite soup recipe here! : chop in half and put in the oven...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17340&PID=388326&title=post-your-favourite-soup-recipe-here#388326 Author: lizzle

I'm not a quantity person either

Veg Soup:

- potatoes and random veg & water in a pot in the oven at 100deg for a couple of hours. No need for stock as cooking it for so long brings out the flavour of the veg.

I'm going to try this in the slow cooker this week sometime too.

Potato & Leek Soup:
- use about 1 leek for 3 potatoes.
- slice leeks and dice potatoes.
- boil in veg stock until cooked.

I'm a bit of a soup maniac. I will post my favourite one, but it's not exactly kid friendly, but great for freezing and pulling out when you just don't feel like another night of chicken nuggets and chips.

CURRY LENTIL SOUP

1 cup brown lentils
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoon hot curry powder
8 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 stalks of celery (optional)
salt and pepper

Wash lentils and cover with cold water to soak.

Peel onions and chop finely. Crush and peel garlic.

Heat oil in large saucepan and saute onion and garlic on low for 5 minutes. Add chilli powder and curry powder. Cook for 30 seconds. Add vegetable stock and tomato paste.

Drain lentils and add to pan. Bring to the boil.

Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Use blender to puree when cool. Wash and slice celery finely and stir through.

Serve with your favourite crusty chunky bread.

So with winter coming on, the traditional Kiwi family puts a pot of soup on to boil at least once a week for some hearty, homemade soup... but not all of us are so gifted! I only know how to make one soup, so I'll start off with that and you can intrigue me with your own recipes!

1 bacon hock/pork chop/etc
2 potatoes
2 carrots
1 kumara
tonnes of water
1 onion
1T chicken stock
salt to taste

boil the chop in plenty of water for about 4 hours. When about 1 1/2 hours before meal time, add in the other ingredients. Keep topping up the water and stirring every 30 mins approx, letting it reduce to your preferred thickness at the end. (sorry, not too specific)]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 15:32:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17340&PID=387113&title=post-your-favourite-soup-recipe-here#387113
