Hi Ladies   I have the mother of all colds and want nothing more than homemade soup? Anyone have a great recipe or two that they want to share J

DragonflyBelle

1 lb lean hamburger or turkey (I use lean beef for flavor)

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 pkg mixed vegetables (frozen) and 1 pkg frozen lima beans

2-3 large potatoes

Brown hamburger/turkey drain and set aside. Dump tomatoes and frozen veggies and meat in large pot, cover with water and bring to rolling boil for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook another 30 minutes (covered) Peel and chop potatoes and add them with 15-20 minutes to go (just test them as you go to make sure they get done). Season as you go with onion powder, garlic powder and your choice of other spices (I use Tony's). Can be adjusted to make larger pots for freezing.

Butternut squash soup

Here is a post about soup recipes from a little bit ago.  My two submissions are the last in the post.  I hope you feel better soon!

I just take a whole rotissirie chicken (the precooked ones from the deli counter), put it in a large soup pot with a quartered onion, a bunch of carrots, and celery (and peas/green beans, whatever you want).  Fill the pot with water to cover the chicken.  Let cook until the meat falls off of the bone. 

Remove chicken and veggies from broth and cut up veggies/take chicken off of bone (and remove skin if you have not already). Return veggies and chicken to broth, and it is ready to go!  Sometimes I add cheese tortellini to the mix and simmer until ready.

I usually do not need to add any salt or seasoning as long as I cook the chicken with skin on  to make the broth.

Peel and slice some potatoes (round like little chips).  Put half water and half milk to cover and add butter (your preference on how much) salt and pepper.  Cook until potatoes are soft but not mushy.  I add crackers to mine afterwards.  Super easy and simple and always warms me up.

I like to make a basic chicken soup and add, turnips, parsnips some fresh ginger and lemon  (both great for colds.)

I LOVE butternut squash soup (and it's reallllly easy)

1 butternut squash
carrots
1 medium onion
celery
chicken stock

Cut butternut squash in half and either bake it until soft or microwave it for about 7minutes on HIGH (as if you were cooking a potato)...then scoop out the yummy and discard the seeds

Sautee onion in some olive oil in a soup pot until transparent then add carrots, celery and chicken stock  and water (half stock half water) and bring to a boil then add butternut squash - boil until all veggies are fork tender (especially carrots) - then use a hand blender to puree soup and voila...soup is done! salt to taste

**I cook but don't measure well....but there should be more squash than carrots. Also - water/stock - depends on how watery you want your soup.
