Soups

[donnyandcathy]

I was wanting to see what some of your favorite soup recipes were, and if you could share :D
I tried to make my first Asparagus soup the other day, and I used my Blend-Tech, it came out so frothy, and the foam never calmed down, even after I stored it overnight. I used the soup button on the blender. I'm not sure what happened. I ate 2 bowls of it, but ended up throwing the rest out. I wasted a good bit of money. So now I'm nervous about making more soup, since I don't want to waste time or money. But soup would be a great thing to have along with a salad or something.

Any tried and true recipes??

Thanks!!

I try to make only as much as I can eat in one sitting. Also, I've gotten used to frothy soup, lol.

Soup is not fancy unless you choose to make it that way. I stick with super simple ones that take 5 min or less and usually use 4-6 ingredients.

Blend Mango & Tomato alone or w/a clove of garlic-one of the best simplest soups ever.

Wow - I never would have thought that one up! Will try this on DD - she loves tomato soup and mangoes.....

is it equal portions of each?

[Dimond]

I think it should be more tomato than mango, but it probably tastes good no matter what. The garlic makes it taste even better. It also works as a dressing.

Another Recipe from my Files..

Just Like Nordstrom Cafe Tomato Basil Soup but in the raw.

When I was 20 I used to work in a Mall. I would usually choose my food choices from one of the mall food court shops. I told myself that I didn't have time to make food for myself before I left. I think I just Loved to eat the mall food. They also had a Nordstrom Cafe there. I Loved going there to get this amazing soup called Tomato Basil Soup. This soup is a legend to those who frequent or work at malls. It almost has a cult like following. I Loved it so much that I turned a lot of people on to this soup, even gave it as a gift to someone one time, and when they came out with the Nordstrom Cafe Cookbook, I got the book because I wanted to know how to make the soup at home. Then when I went vegetarian I found a way to make it vegetarian by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth that it called for. For several years now I have been thinking about how I would be able to create this recipe raw vegan style!

I have totally figured it out!

I would Love to share it with you:

Raw Style Tomato Basil Soup

6 small tomatoes
1 packed cup of soaked sun dried tomatoes
1 cup of soaked cashews
1 Shallot
1-2 garlic cloves
1 large carrot
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
4 Tbsp of dried Basil (Really recommend dried over fresh.)
1/3 cup of soak water from the sun dried tomatoes
2 tsp of Sun Fire Salt
1/4 tsp of black pepper
Sprinkle or two of cayenne if you Love cayenne! (Gives it an extra added kick.)

Place tomatoes, soaked sun dried tomatoes, carrot, garlic, shallot, onion and garlic powder, dried basil, olive oil, soak water from sun dried tomatoes, Sun Fire Salt, black pepper, and cayenne in Vita Mix. Blend till smooth. Add in soaked cashews and blend till super creamy.

Then...be ready to enjoy the best meal ever! :)


I also would Love to add that this soup is a VERY filling soup!! It's a meal in itself.
