Soup-a-Palooza Link Up and Giveaways

Roasted Corn Soup

Cheryl from TidyMom and I have been anxiously awaiting this day…Soup-a-Palooza is finally here and we want to invite you to share some of your favorite soup recipes with us!

The soup recipe I chose to make for Soup-a-Palooza came from the Tobasco website. I adapted it it quite a bit and really love the end result. The addition of Bush’s Black Beans, topped with Westminster Oyster Crackers and served along side a slice of Pillsbury Simply Rustic French Bread, this meal was as filling as it was comforting on a cold winters day. In order to keep this post from being 100 miles long, I put the soup recipe over on a post of its own. Check it out here. Also, be sure to check out Cheryl’s Chicken Tortilla Soup over on her blog!

    I dont have a website to post it on- but I gave this to you before- but I wanted to officially post for the contest!
    Here is a REALLY yummy White chili soup recipe I started with (at the bottom)- but then I added the following ingredients-
    ½ block of cream cheese
    1 small sweet red & orange pepper chopped (along with the yellow pepper). (You can get a …bag of all three colored peppers at sams club)
    I also added 1 can of Cannellini Beans
    And instead of all that pepper- I just used a couple dashes of black pepper and a couple of dashes of cayenne (as one of the reviews said it was too hot w/the amt stated).
    I also served it w/more Pepper Jack Cheese, Tortilla chips & diced tomatoes

    I don’t have a website either, so here is mine. It is a favorite at our house and only takes about 30 minutes to make.
    Broccoli Cheese Soup
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons flour
    3 cups milk
    salt
    pepper
    8 ounces Velveeta cheese
    1/4 cup white wine
    1 bunch fresh broccoli, cooked and chopped

    Melt butter and add flour to make a light roux. Add milk, salt and pepper. Cook until scalded, but do not boil. Add cheese and wine and stir until cheese melts. Add broccoli. Will keep in refrigerator one week.

  47. Cathy A. says

    I don’t have a blog, but really wanted to add this soup to your list. I found it many years ago in a Better Home & Garden magazine. I’ve tweaked the original recipe a little. This soup has been a favorite for all of my family and friends.

    Hearty Meatball Soup
    1 beaten egg
    1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
    2 TBL grated Romano Cheese
    1 TBL dried parsley
    1 TBL minced onion
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/2 lb. ground beef
    1 15 oz. can northern beans, rinsed, drained
    1 15 oz. can garbanzo beans, rinsed, drained
    3 14 1/2 oz. cans beef broth
    1 14 1/2 oz. can stewed tomatoes
    1 cup sliced button mushrooms
    1 tsp italian seasoning
    1/4 cup tiny bow tie pasta or ditalini
    3 cups torn spinach
    grated cheese to taste

    For meatballs: Combine egg, bread crumbs, 2 TBL grated cheese, parsley, onion, garlic powder, and black pepper in a medium mixing bowl. Add ground beef and mix well to combine. Shape meatballs into 36 meatballs. ( I use a melon baller to make it easier and all the meatballs are about the same size). Cook meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Turn occasionally to brown all over. Drain fat from the pan. Set aside.
    For the Soup:
    Stir together beans, beef broth, undrained tomatoes, mushrooms and italian seasoning in a large soup pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. When boiling, turn heat to a simmer and simmer for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn soup back up to a high boil. Once boiling, add pasta and reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach and cooked meatballs. Cook 1-2 minutes more until spinach is wilted. Ladle soup into soup bowls. Top with some grated cheese and serve. ENJOY!!!!

    Here is a recipe that uses breakfast sausage in a good and hearty soup.

    Pioneer Woman’s Roasted Vegetable Minestrone is to.die.for. I make it every single Sunday and we eat it all week long. Amazing.

    * 2 whole Zucchini, Halved, Cut Into Strips, Then Cubed
    * 2 whole Summer Squash, Halved, Cut Into Strips, Then Cubed
    * 8 ounces, weight White Mushrooms, Stems Removed And Quartered

    Preparation Instructions

    Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

    Toss cubed zucchini, squash, and mushrooms in a bowl with olive oil and a sprinkling of kosher salt. Arrange onto two sheet pans (to avoid crowding) and roast in the hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until brown and black parts begin to show. Remove from oven and set aside.

    In a heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, onions, and celery and stir to cook for 3 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for ten minutes.

    Add cannelini beans and green beans. Cook on low for five minutes. Add pasta and cook for an additional five minutes. Add canned tomatoes, stir, and cook for an additional five minutes on low heat. Check for seasonings, adding salt, pepper, and turmeric.

    Add roasted vegetables at the very end. Stir and allow to simmer and heat for a few minutes before serving. Be sure to check seasoning! Add more broth if necessary to increase liquid amount.

    Serve with Parmesan shavings and crusty Italian bread.

    http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/Delicious-Ham-and-Potato-Soup/Detail.aspx

    Another favorite is Campbell’s Bean with Bacon soup made with milk and half & half– sprinkled with a little shredded cheddar cheese. Very rich and creamy. mmmmm! I also occasionally make their split pea with ham this way too. Minus the cheese! I once worked worked in a restaurant and that’s how they made all their soups including the chicken noodle, the clam chowder, and the tomato.( They also added mushrooms to the tomato. )

  107. Debbie Lyons-Blythe says

    I am so excited to try some of these recipes! What a great idea! I entered my favorites, and I’m tweeting for you all day. I’ll be clicking on these recipes to try for the rest of our Kansas winter. Hopefully my five teenage kids will enjoy many of them! Yum!!
