      200 Soups - Madge Baird

      Helpful Hints

      Cooking soup is a creative activity. Enjoy the process.

      Your own palate is your best guide for how the soup should taste. Taste soups during cooking and adjust.

      Measurements and ingredients need not be exact. You can increase or decrease amounts of most ingredients and make substitutions.

      Cooking times are approximate and can often be shortened or extended for your schedule.

      The base, or flavor foundation, of your soup makes all the difference in its appeal. Keep a variety of broths and bouillons on hand.

      Other ingredients that deepen a soup’s flavor with small additions are tomato paste, and Worcestershire, soy, and Asian fish sauces.

      Experiment with different thickeners: roux, white sauce, cornstarch, cream of wheat, pureed vegetables, instant potatoes, cream, coconut milk, and more.

      All references to olive oil here mean extra virgin, but you can choose other grades.

      Fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables, especially home-canned from the garden, can be used interchangeably.

      All kinds of tomato products can be used in soups that call for tomatoes, including spaghetti sauce and ketchup.

      Save little bits of leftover meat or vegetables in separate freezer containers until you need them for a soup.

      For pureeing, use whatever equipment you have: blender, food processor, smoothie maker, hand-held blender, even a hand-held mixer will work to some degree.

      The {V} symbol by a recipe title indicates it is vegetarian. Other recipes can become vegetarian with small changes.

      Soup is meant to be shared. Take some to a neighbor and get something going!

      Pureed & Cream Soups

      African Peanut Soup {V}

      Makes 12 to 15 servings

      Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and chile flakes until onion becomes translucent. Add carrots, sweet potatoes, and broth; add just enough water to cover the vegetables. Cover and bring to a boil; cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir tomato juice and gingerroot into the vegetables. Using a hand-held blender, puree soup to a smooth consistency right in the pot. If you use a stand blender, puree in batches. Heat the puree and stir in peanut butter. Season to taste with hot sauce (should have a mild bite but not sting). Serve hot. Garnish with peanuts, if you wish.

      Butternut-Apple Soup

      Makes 6 to 8 servings

      Spray the bottom of a medium saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Place all ingredients in the pan, except the half-and-half and cheese, and stir together. Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Use a splatter guard. When soup is bubbling, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let simmer until apples have softened, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid sticking. Remove pan from heat, transfer soup to a food processor and puree to desired smoothness. Return puree to pan and stir in half-and-half. Heat over medium-high to the boiling point. Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Sprinkle lightly with cheese, if desired.

      *Start with squash puree if you wish.

      Rosemary-Apple Butternut Soup

      Makes 4 to 6 servings

      In a medium saucepan, saute apple and onion in butter for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add all remaining ingredients, except cream and salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a little, then transfer to a food processor. Add cream and process until smooth. Return to saucepan and heat. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

      Gingered Apple-Pumpkin Soup

      Makes 10 to 12 servings

      Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot. Lightly saute onion, celery, and bacon. Add pumpkin, water, apple cider, brown sugar, five-spice, bouillon, apple, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, and gingerroot to the pot. Cover and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently. Puree in batches until smooth. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, if you wish.

      Gingered Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup

      Makes 8 to 10 servings

      In a large saucepan, saute onion and celery in oil and butter until onion turns translucent. Add carrots, sweet potato, broth, and water and bring to a gentle boil. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Puree vegetables in their liquid until smooth, using either a hand-held or stand blender. Heat again, adding nutmeg, cream, and a sprinkle of salt. Taste and adjust seasonings.

      Whippy Carrot and Parsnip Bisque

      Makes 4 to 6 servings

      In a medium saucepan, boil carrots, parsnips, and onion in water until tender. Begin pureeing vegetables and the cooking water together. When vegetables are broken down, add all remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth using either a hand-held or stand blender.

      Carrot Velvet Soup

      Makes 6 to 8 servings

      In a large saucepan, boil the first five ingredients together until carrots are very tender, about 25 minutes. Puree with a hand-held blender until smooth, add half-and-half, and heat, stirring frequently. Season with pepper, to taste. If you use a stand blender, puree in batches and return puree to pan before adding half-and-half. Serve hot or at room temperature, with chives for garnish.

      Lemon-Thyme Green Bean Soup {V}

      Makes 6 servings

      Steam beans in a medium covered saucepan for about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and quickly plunge into cold water; drain when cool.

      In the same saucepan, melt butter and stir in flour and thyme; cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly until it thickens; remove from heat. Puree beans, white sauce, and bouillon together in batches. Reheat puree, season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

      Lemony Asparagus Soup {V}

      Makes 4 small servings

      Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add asparagus, snapping into smaller pieces as you go. Add bouillon, garlic powder, and zest. Cover pan and steam asparagus for 4 minutes, until just tender and still brightly colored. Remove from heat and puree asparagus with its liquid until smooth. Add cream and puree until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.

      Creamy Tomato Soup {V}

      Makes 4 servings

      In a medium saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in oil until it turns translucent. Add flour to the onion and cook for 1 minute. Whisk the tomatoes into the onion mixture. If using fresh, simmer for 3 minutes; if using canned, proceed with the cream. To prevent cream from curdling, stir about 1/2 cup tomatoes into the cream before stirring the remaining cream into the soup.

      Creamy Fresh Tomato Soup {V}

      Makes 4 servings
