Soup Recipes

There's something extremely satisfying about a hot, bubbling pot of soup on the stove on a cold winter's night. Soup makes a wonderful meal, and once you make a pot or two, you'll discover it isn't really that hard to make.
Soup can be stock or broth-based, like chicken noodle soup, or it can be creamy, like creamy mushroom soup. Both take basically the same preparation. First sauté vegetables in oil or butter, stir in flour or cornstarch as a thickener (this makes a roux), then add stock or milk, and the remaining ingredients, and simmer to allow the soup to thicken and the flavors to blend. All soups are based on this simple preparation, and once you make your own homemade soups, canned will never taste the same.

Soups can serve as a main dish when they are hearty and filled with meats and vegetables. Or, they can serve as an appetizer or first course when they are rich and satisfying. They can be elegant, or they can be homey, ethnic or traditional, but they belong in every kitchen sooner or later.

Making a pot of soup is a perfect solution for a healthy, hot meal. There are dozens of different soups that you can create.

Make your meal different then chicken noodle or tomato soup. Try a creamy wild rice mushroom, white chicken chili, cheesy potato with bacon, country bean or even Italian wedding soup.

The ingredient list may look lengthy, but this recipe involves mostly measuring and adding ingredients to the pot to simmer. To trim prep time, look for prechopped onions in the produce aisle. Serve with crusty slices of a baguette. A double-dose of lycopene comes with tomato paste and canned tomatoes.

Lycopene count: 11 milligrams per serving.

Yield
8 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups stew and 1 tablespoon parsley)

Ingredients
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup finely chopped onion (about 1 medium)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
4 cups cubed red potato (1 1/2 pounds)
2 cups sliced carrot
3/4 cup pinot noir or other spicy dry red wine
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 (16-ounce) package frozen pearl onions
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, undrained
1 rosemary sprig
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 5 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Remove beef from pan, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in pan. Add onion and garlic to pan; sauté 2 minutes or until onion begins to brown. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add broth; bring to a boil. Return meat to pan. Add potato and next 7 ingredients (through bay leaf); bring to a simmer. Cover and cook 1 hour and 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Discard rosemary and bay leaf. Stir in salt and pepper. Top with parsley.

close windowMaking rice is not at all a difficult task. Some people achieve the things they want in a difficult way which is hard to quantify and describe. Others achieve the things in relatively simpler way. Why some people can do the things in much simpler way and why not others are the questions of debate. There might be several reasons which can be attributed towards that simpler way of doing work. Each individual has his own way to do the work and researches showed that in order to get the maximum output people should work in their very own way.

I saw several people who claim that they don't know how to do a particular work because they never have been shown the way how to do that. I personally feel this is just an excuse of not to explore something. It is not very difficult to find out the way how that works. Cooking is one of the things which most people try to avoid. The only reason why people want to avoid cooking is they don't like that. It is very difficult to find people who don't like food. Any delicious recipe attracts anyone. The reason why I know lots of Asian recipes is not that I had the experience of cooking all those recipes in past. This is more likely due to the interest I have for cooking. There are several recipes which I just invented by myself. If I get a chance I will share that with you all. Most Asian countries have rice as main food during their lunch and dinner. Making rice is the easiest thing to do in kitchen. Don't think everyone knows how to make rice. If you don't know how to make rice then you would have never get into your kitchen.

Making rice is easy, but simultaneously it demands your attention too. You may need to follow few simple tips to get a desire result when you are cooking rice at your home.

First, the idea about what quantity of rice requires how much water to boil is little difficult. You may fail at first time. But you know that practice makes man perfect. So you need to try few times to grab that idea. General thumb rule is that one cup of rice requires one cup of water. Depending upon how you are making rice this measurement may vary little bit.

Mine usually comes out mushy cause it doesn't look done. I've never really taken any out and tasted it. Good tip I'll keep in mind for next time.
