My wife made an I-talian sausage and kale soup. It has a little cream in it, ground sausage, kale from our garden, onions, celery, chicken stock, some tomatoes. Put some parmesean cheese on top when its hot. Good stuff.

It might be interesting to add chopped bok choy, cabbage, leeks, leafy greens.. maybe spinach? and/or garlic. You could also add corn or barley. Whatever you like.. But my favorite really is the turnips.

The wife made veggie soup tonight.

1 can rotel
1 1/2 cup frozen lima beans from garden
Half an onion chopped
1 1/2 stalks celery chopped
3 cups sliced okra
2 bags frozen mixed vegetables
2 cans chicken broth
2 teaspoons salt

Cook awhile. Serve in big mug. Eat veggies and drink broth, repeat.

I like meat in my soup, but always like this one, especially the warm broth.

This came from a restaurant on College Drive next to the old Wilson's (now gone). Forget the name of the place. But their Cream of Crawfish soup was TOP SHELF!!

Do all the prep work beforehand--its labor intensive and needs constant stirring! Very rich, and fairly expensive to make.

But I have seen grown-arse Yankee men scrape the crust of the bottom of the soup pot. No lie!

Cream of Crawfish Soup

• ¼ # Butter
• ½ c Onions Chopped Fine
• ½ c Flour
• 1# Crawfish Tails
• ½ Bunch Green Onions
• 2c Half and Half
• 2c Whipping Cream
• 2c Rich Chicken Stock
• 2t Red Pepper (I normally half this for visitors)
• 2t Garlic Powder
• 2t Onion Powder

Grind crawfish tails and green onions in processor. Set aside.

Melt butter, add grated onion, sauté 5 minutes.

Add flour, stirring to mix. Cook approx 2 minutes till thick.

Add hot chicken stock, stirring to combine. Simmer 5 minutes, stir constantly.

Add ground crawfish tails and green onions to soup base. Mix well and simmer 5 minutes stirring constantly, making sure mixture does not stick.

Add Half and Half and cream. Simmer on low 5 minutes.

Add seasonings, stirring to combine. Cut off heat

Serves 8-10.

I made a fabulous roasted cauliflower soup on Monday.

Two heads cauliflower. Chop into about 8 pieces each. Paint with evoo, salt and Roast in oven until tops are almost crunchy. Chop and sauté 3 big onions and a TON of garlic in a pan with a stick of real butter.

Take out cauliflower, dump in kitchen aide mixing bowl, add in sautéed onions and garlic (with butter juice), 2 handfuls if shredded cheddar and half a container of whipping cream.

Hit mix and dump in chicken broth until you are satisfied with the consistency.

Serve with sour cream and green onions on top.

De-effing-licious.

No not Byronz.. As you looked at the front of the big store from College, there was a strip mall running down the left side of the parking lot. This place was in that building. Was wonderful.

i HATE it when ya'll make me get off my butt and get busy..

I dug through my recipes and found the original 'Cream of Crawfish Soup' purveyor on College Drive..

skyisfallin is exactly right. It was a place called 'The Factory.' They cooked on one of the local TV stations and posted the recipe.

Thank God!! They are long gone but the goodness remains.

White Bean Chicken Chili

2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped celery
1 bell pepper
1.5 to 2lbs chicken cut into but size pieces (I used thighs)
2 cans Great Northern White Beans (Cannellini Beans)
1 can rotel tomatoes
2 heaping Tbsp chili powder
1-2 shakes of cumin
4-5 cups chicken broth

Sauté veggies in oil until tender (season with salt & pepper, optional)
Add chicken and cook together for about 5 minutes
Transfer about a cup of beans to a bowl and mash
Add remainder of beans and rotel to pot.
Add broth and seasonings
Bring soup to boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium low and cook for an hour.

Serve with shredded cheese and/or sour cream and cilantro.

Recipe may need a little salt depending on what kind of broth you use- I used no salt stock, so it needed a lot of salt added.

[link=(Slow cooker- Quinoa, Chicken, and Kale Soup)]https://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/12/slow-cooker-quinoa-chicken-kale-soup/[/link]

I made this for the first time a few months ago and I have made it at least 5 times since then. It's so easy, simple, and light but filling. I love it. And the fact that it's made in a crock pot is the bomb.com

Chicken Noodle Soup


I have a hard time making chicken noodle soup. After we enjoy a fresh bowl, I put the rest in tupperware and the noodles end up soaking up ALL of the broth.. How can I combat this?
