soup recipes

Does anyone have a good soup recipe or two?  We have realized the DD does a pretty good job eating her veggies if they are in a soup otherwise she will not really eat them.

So I'm looking for soup recipes.  

Thanks ladies.

Thai Curry and Coconut Butternut Squash Soup 

1 large butternut squash, about 2 pounds

1 tbsp oil
? cup onion, minced
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic
1-2 tsp Thai Red Curry paste, more if you like it hotter
4 cups chicken broth
1 13-14 oz can unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
Toasted coconut for garnish (optional)

Preheat over to 400?F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the cut sides of the squash with oil and place cut side down on a baking sheet.  Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until very tender. The squash should have a creamy texture. Once the squash has cooled enough to handle, scoop the flesh out of the peel using a spoon.

In an heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saut? until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook for a few more minutes. The curry will start to give off a wonderful aroma. Stir in the chicken broth, coconut milk, salt and squash. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Puree soup with a hand mixer or in a blender.  Serve garnished with unsweetened coconut toasted at 400?F for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

oo... and if you can sneak in a stew (DS still calls this one soup), this is one of my faves  

You can cook for 20 minutes as suggested, or if you use a crockpot and cook it for the day, adding the zucchini towards the end, the flavours get a good chance to develop

 

North African Veggie Stew

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 med onion diced
1 med carrot sliced
1med zucchini sliced
1 lg clove garlic chopped
14 oz can diced tomatoes (I used stewed tomatoes)
1 cup veggie stock
1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. grated lemon zest (1 lemon's worth)
1 19oz can chick peas, drained and rinsed
8-10 dried apricots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup raisins
Salt and pepper to taste

Gently saute onions for a minute. Throw everything else into the pot and simmer (ie.stew) for 20 minutes. Voila.

I serve over rice made with whole cumin seeds and a cinnamon stick, but can be served on it's own just as well  

YUMMM... I think it might be time to make some...
