No Croutons Required – Grains – Wild Rice Soup

Grains and my body don’t agree overly well with each other, so finding something that would fit the bill for this month’s No Croutons Required event, calling all cooks to submit (vegetarian) soups or salads featuring grains was quite the challenge. A pantry raid offered some advice: the jar of wild rice in the back must be one of the senior food items in my kitchen. I found this very interesting recipe all over the web, but in particular on another blog, i.e. at Sherrys place “What did you eat” (a food blogger who passed away last year in July), and I think it is appropriate to dedicate this post to her and the fond memories I have of this wonderful food blogger. Minnesota Wild Rice Soup The result...

Souper Sunday – Cream of Bell Pepper Soup

The minute I spotted two lovely red bell peppers in my weekly organic veggie delivery, I knew I had to make a cream of bell pepper soup – just perfect for an entry in the Souper Sunday weekly foodblogging event, the brainchild of Kahakai Kitchen. (I just had finished cooking a huge pot of chicken stock, so this was a no-brainer, really). Cream of Bell Pepper Soup with Ciabatta Croutons (By substituting vegetable broth for the chicken stock, you could of course turn this into a lovely vegetarian first course). You can use any flatbread or white bread for the croutons, I just happened to have almost stale ciabatta at hand.

Souper Soup Challenge – Serbo-Croatian Bean Stew

Recently I’ve been craving Serbian Bean Soup (Pasulj) which has been an all-time favorite in my family, but funny enough no one ever bothered to make it from scratch – but we would have lunch at our favorite Yugoslavian eatery (now defunct). So I started to dig for recipes. Some, I found, use sausage, some use potatoes, some use tomato paste, some use non of these, some require bacon or smoked ribs, others will even use canned beans (yuck). The solution presented itself while talking to a friend whose family is half Croatian. “Bean Stew?” she said. “I need to ask my mum to make a huge pot of this soon.” And so I sort of pried the recipe from her (she was watching her mother prepare it and...

No Croutons Required – Citrus Lentil Soup

For the monthly event from Lisa’s Kitchen, No Croutons Required, participants are asked to serve a soup (or salad) which is vegetarian and should feature this month’s ingredient. In June, it is legumes. The theme for June is soups or salads featuring legumes because beans and pulses are an important part of a healthy vegetarian diet. Whole, or split, big or small, anything belonging to the legume family qualifies. Submissions are due no later than June 20th. A good excuse to try a recipe which has been sitting in my Cook-Soon folder way too long: Citrus Lentil Soup The recipe is slightly adapted from a recipe printed in O – The Oprah Magazine in February 2004.

No Croutons Required – Double Mushroom Soup

Lisa’s Kitchen invites foodie bloggers to a special vegetarian soup event – No Croutons Required – and for April she chose mushrooms as the ingredient to be featured, allowing salads with mushrooms as alternative option. I love mushrooms, and among my favorite soups are potato soup and lentil soup with mushrooms, there is a vegetarian (yeast-based) funghi porcini soupbase in my part of the world, which is simply to die for, but this time I wanted to play things low-carb, which is why I came up with this soup: Double Cream of Mushroom Soup The “double” applies as well to the mushrooms as to the cream.

When I blogged about my Goulash Soup in German yesterday, I realized this might make a nice addition to Cyndis weekly Thursday – A Soup or a Stew event. Tadaaaa: Goulash Soup Here’s the recipe – my notes in brackets (and I used half hot Hungarian paprika) Goulash Soup (serves 4) 2 tb vegetable oil 1 lg onion, chopped 2 carrots, sliced or coarsely chopped 2 lg cloves garlic, crushed 2 sweet red and/or green peppers, seeded and diced 225 g lean boneless beef, diced (1/2 lb) 1 tb Paprika (preferably Hungarian sweet) 10 c water 3 tb tomato paste 1/2 ts black pepper 1 md all-purpose potato, peeled and diced 2 ts salt, or to taste The goulash is an ancient...

Soup Glorious Soup – Sicilian Simplicity

I love lentil soup, and in particular hearty, wholesome lentil stews – with potatoes and sausage and bacon, or weiner sausages, or the tiny little pork sausage meatballs my mom adds… it is one of the easiest, most satisfying winter dishes I know. But sometimes, it has to be Sicilian Lentil Soup for me – a wonderful light and easy, summerly kind of soup with lots of fresh fennel and a pungent bite of hot pepper, fresh tomato and a drop or two of thick, dark green olive oil… so that’s what I chose as my entry to the “Soup Glorious Soup” event hosted by A Veggie Venture. And it is a vegetarian and even vegan recipe It is very easy to make, very economical, and oh so tasty!

The Super Souper Challenge: Turnip Mulligatawny

Tami, who is Running with Tweezers, invites the foodbloggers’ world to join a soup-themed blog event – the Super Souper Challenge. With a few ingredients from my weekly organic fruit and veggie delivery I make it just on time to join the party with my adaptation of a well-known classic – a hearty winter dish with lots of warming flavors:

IMBB #19 – Vegan Cooking – Kabocha Squash Fusion Soup

This month’s IMBB event is hosted by Becks & Posh, featuring vegan cuisine. While, as an ex-vegetarian, vegan is not my preferred style of cooking, I do eat a lot of vegan meals without thinking about them or considering them especially “vegan”. Thank you for the idea of cooking decidedly different : ! For this event I was planning to make fabulous veggie sushi, which – unfortunately – turned out less than fabulous because I got the wrong kind of nori leaves. So I grabbed the latest addition to my cookbook shelf – Anita Loh-Yien Lau’s “Asian Greens” – and found lots of lovely ideas… my entry is slightly adapted from a recipe for Squash Coconut Soup. Kabocha Squash, Coconut & Curry Soup with Bok Choy The soup turned...
