Chunky Tomato & Pepper Soup with Parmesan Dumplings

October 22, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

Who doesn’t love a good, home made tomato soup? Then you throw in some sweet peppers and make some salty parmesan dumplings and you have an over the top tomato soup that will have you asking for seconds!

I came up with Chunky Tomato & Pepper Soup with Parmesan Dumplings for a Soup Contest at a local organic farm, Park Ridge Organics for their annual Harvest Fest. I am proud to announce that this recipe won for “People’s Choice”.  It was a very exciting day and I was very proud to accept the award for People’s Choice and was so happy that the people in attendance thought so highly of my soup to vote for it.

Chunky Tomato & Pepper Soup with Parmesan Dumplings isn’t a typical tomato soup recipe, it is full of other vegetables and has chicken stocked added in for another depth of flavor. The parmesan dumplings are a creamy and salty little morsel of goodness in each spoonful.

Enjoy!

Cauliflower Cheese Soup

March 16, 2014 by Kay 9 Comments

Along with the cauliflower, this recipe for Cauliflower Cheese soup also features carrots and celery that add a nice element and the chicken broth makes the soup taste like you were cooking it all day long.

The cheese in this recipe for Cauliflower Cheese Soup puts the finishing touch on this delicious recipe. The soup would be fine without the cheese, but I think the cheese takes this soup over the top.

This is a perfect week night meal, it comes together quickly. Serve this along side some crusty french bread for dipping.  It’s perfect as a left over for lunch the next day!

Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Soup

March 5, 2014 by Kay 3 Comments

Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Soup tastes like you went to your garden and picked the fresh vegetables and created this wonderful soup. I love soups made in the slow cooker, to me, they just taste better. I don’t know why, they just do. So, to continue with my love of slow cooker soups I created this recipe for Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Soup.

I had high five’s from my daughter’s Hailey and Mackenzie on this soup. My hubby, Mr. B had other opinions. I asked him how he liked it (I was riding pretty high as I LOVED this soup) and he said it was good and then admitted to me that he doesn’t like his tomato soup creamy. I guess I learned something new about Mr. B even though I’ve been married to him for almost 25 years, just saying, I thought I knew him so well.

The tomato flavor is enhanced with carrots, celery, onions and broth. This soup really comes together in the end when you melt parmesan cheese into some half and half and added it to the pureed soup. I served it with homemade rye croutons. They were very tasty in the soup, I really liked the rye and caraway flavor.

After the soup has cooked for hours you puree the soup.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

February 19, 2014 by Kay 1 Comment

Broccoli, carrots, chicken broth, half & half and lots of cheddar cheese come together to make this delicious soup.

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Broccoli Cheese Soup

This recipe starts with a classic roux, a mix of butter and flour, that is used to thicken the soup. The half & half and chicken stock help to make the soup creamy. Broccoli and carrots add a good portion of vegetables while the cheddar cheese gives this soup the added amount of zing to make this soup sing.

 

Serve it up with a piece of crusty bread and call it a meal.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup flour

  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cups carrots, sliced thin

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions, cook for 10 minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine, cook for an additional 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure the onion roux is mixed in. Add in the half and half and stir to combine. Bring to a boil and add in the carrots and broccoli.
