More Tasty Soups/Stews/Quick Boiled Vegetables (aka Recipes 2)

Here is a printable version (pdf) of Recipes 2


Vegetable Broth with/out Chicken Bones


Ingredients:

    The secret to making tasty soups is Muir Glenn Organic Garlic & Onion or other high quality organic marinara sauce, or Muir Glen Tomato Soup.


    Use 1/3 - 1/2 of a 14 1/2 ounce can plus:

  • 3 medium parsnips, 1-2 tubs of brussel sprouts
  • 1 medium turnip (takes the place of potatoes)
  • 1 garlic head or 4-8 individual garlic cloves peeled/crushed
  • 2 medium leeks or 4 medium onions peeled and halved; trimmed and quartered
  • 2 stalks of celery quartered
  • 2 cups of sliced carrots
  • 1/3 (or more) cabbage sliced
  • 2 small shakes of pepper
  • 2 small slices of cut whole ginger (fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil & 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Several mint leaves - optional
  • 1 bay leaf & 8 sprigs of fresh cilantro
  • Salt-free Herbal Bouquet Italian Blend or Bell's All Natural Seasonings
  • Vinegar, lemon, and lime or lime juice, mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)
  • 2 teaspoons of macadamia nut or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup minced Italian parsley (not curly). Put parsley in during the last 5 minutes of cooking

Directions:

  1. Combine ingredients with 3 quarts of water in a large pot.
  2. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook all uncovered 30-90 minutes.
  3. To make this recipe into a stew, use less water and cook longer.
  • This recipe can be varied to taste. You may prefer more garlic, removing the turnip, using fresh tomatoes or tomato puree.
  • For an oriental stock you may also add regular or dried shiitake mushrooms and 8 sprigs of fresh cilantro leaves.
  • You may increase or decrease any of these ingredients, but you cannot add any other ingredients.

  • You can blend this soup to make it thick like a pea soup.
  • By reducing the water, this mixture can also be served as 3-20 minute quick or soft boiled vegetables.
  • To make this as a vegetable broth or base for cooking beans, use 1 corn cob (not the actual corn kernels) to "sweeten" the stock. Some prefer a little bit of vinegar in their soups. Try umeboshi vinegar.

Easiest and Quickest (Chicken Bone) Soup


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 to 1 package Kosher "Chicken Bones for Soup" (the bones are available at The Crown Market)
  • 1-2 "Soup Mix" fresh vegetable packages, which include carrots, parsley, parsnip, onion, celery
  • 1 "cottage cheese" size container of brussel sprouts (optional) - cut bottoms off and peel off 1-2 layers
  • 1 small bag of fresh peeled baby carrots
  • 6 cloves of garlic plus several sprigs of fresh cilantro
  • 2 quarts of water

Directions:

  1. Boil in a large pot for about 1 hour covered (skim off foam after 10 minutes of boiling).
  2. If you cook the bones until soft, they can be eaten to strenghten your bones and even reduce arthritis. Carefully chew these bones so that you have no difficulty swallowing.
