Ham and Bean Soup -- Substitute the ham in this recipe for one pound of meat that you like. Personally I would use hamburger or either sausages.











INGREDIENTS


1 (20 ounce) package 15 bean soup mix


5 quarts water, divided


1 pound cooked, cubed ham


2 fully cooked bratwurst, sliced


1 cup chopped green pepper


1/2 cup chopped onion


1/2 cup chopped celery


1/2 cup sliced carrots


2 garlic cloves, minced


2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


1 teaspoon dried basil


3/4 teaspoon salt


3/4 teaspoon pepper


1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram


1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce


2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained


1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies








DIRECTIONS


Rinse dry beans and place in a Dutch oven with 3 qts. of water. Bring to a boil; boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans. Return to pan; add remaining water and the next 13 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until beans are almost tender. Add tomatoes and chilies; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.Recipes using dry 15 bean soup?
The ham packet should be included in the bag with the beans, you can use it for additional seasoning. I would brown the bob evans sausage, add some chopped onions, celery, garlic until softened, and add the soaked beans, cover all with water, add a can of diced tomatoes and cook until done.
Just follow package directions, and if you have ANY smoked meat (turkey leg? pork sausage?) just sub that for seasoning. If not, you can use chicken, and add a bit of hickory smoked salt towards the end of cooking. JUST A WEE BIT, though, as a little goes a long way!





Bake a pan of cornbread and you've got a great dinner. If your kids are hungry enough, they'll eat it.
i had some 15 bean soup i used two pounds of italian sausage worked fine just brown it before you add it the the soup. the brand soup i had was Hurst's HamBeans
Use either of the sausages you have. It'll turn out great.

Does anyone know where I can find a set of cereal/soup bowls that have recipes printed on them?

Those stores at the mall that selld only Kitchen Stuff.

Does anyone have a good and easy butternut squash soup recipe using frozen pre-cooked squash?
I have one -- made it just this week. It calls for fresh, but seems like you could save a few steps and use the frozen. My recipe does call for blending the soup, so I don't know how much you will like that part.





Butternut Squash Soup


3 pounds butternut squash,halved and seeded


2 tablespoons butter


1 medium onion, sliced


2 cloves garlic, minced


3 cans chicken broth


1 large russet potato, peeled and quartered


1 granny smith apple, peeled and quartered


1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1/8 teaspoon ground ginger


salt and pepper to taste


1/4 cup sherry wine


1 cup heavy cream


sour cream (optional)


ground nutmeg





Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pour a thin layer of water in a baking dish, or a cookie sheet with sides. Place the squash halves cut side down on the dish. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the flesh. Cool slightly, then remove the peel. Set aside.





Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute for a few minutes, until tender. Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Add the potatoes and apple and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Add the squash, and mash with the potatoes until chunks are small. Use an immersible hand blender to puree the soup, or transfer to a blender or food processor in batches, and puree until smooth. Return to the pot.





Season the soup with cayenne pepper, ginger, salt and pepper, then stir in the sherry and cream. Heat through, but do not boil. Ladle into bowls, and top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Just sub 3 cups of pureed cooked squash for the fresh squash in this recipe.

--Hartford Courant



I don't have a recipe. But, I've done this a couple of times. I just thaw the squash in the microwave (doesn't have to be completely thawed). I put it into a saucepan on low heat and add 2 T butter and enough cream or half %26amp; half to get the consistency I want. Season with salt and pepper. I add a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar.





I like the squash flavor and don't want the ginger, nutmeg etc that some recipes call for. But if you like that then add it.
Yes I do.

    There is a brand of mix in teh grocery store that is pretty darn good. Brand is ';Ty Ling'; and it's ni a red box. All you add is water and an egg. I usually garnish w/ a few green onions too.








    ** Egg Drop Soup **





    2 cups homemade chicken broth


    1/8 tsp white pepper


    1/2 tsp soy sauce


    1/4 tsp sesame oil


    1 tsp corn starch


    1 egg


    Veggies, optional





    Heat broth, pepper, soy sauce and sesame oil until it just begins to boil. Add veggies if desired. (I usually add a Tablespoon or two of frozen corn or peas and a chopped green onion for extra color and texture.) Add cornstarch by mixing with either water or some of the broth to make a thin paste and stirring it into the


    soup to thicken. Whisk the egg and using a fork, drizzle over the boiling soup. Reduce heat to keep it warm until ready to serve. This serves 2 people as a side or as an appetizer. It's not quite enough for a full meal without fudging by adding a little extra broth or water.





    All ingredient amounts can be varied to taste. The key ingredient is the sesame oil. I sometimes like to add a little white pepper to the egg before dropping it in the soup. The corn niblets are a tasty addition, but the peas get mushy if cooked too long.
    There are so many egg drop soup recipes, it really depends on what cuisine you are into. The most common type is the Chinese egg drop soup.





    Here's a recipe taken from cooking.com for Chicken Egg Drop Soup





    RECIPE INGREDIENTS


    4 cups chicken stock or broth


    Salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste


    4 eggs, well beaten


    1/4 cup chopped scallions, for garnish


    2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish





    RECIPE METHOD





    In a saucepan over high heat, bring the chicken stock or broth to a boil. Season with salt and pepper.





    With the soup boiling, pour in the beaten eggs in a thin, steady stream. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the egg is set. Ladle into 4 bowls and garnish with the scallions and cilantro.

    Hunter's Minestrone





    2 quarts chicken stock


    1 head garlic, halved


    1/2 pound small rigatoni


    Extra-virgin olive oil


    8 fresh sage leaves


    1 sprig fresh rosemary


    1 sprig fresh thyme


    3/4 pound loose sweet Italian pork sausage


    2 medium carrots, roughly chopped


    2 celery ribs, roughly chopped


    1 onion, roughly chopped


    1 (28-ounce) can crushed plum tomatoes


    1 bay leaf


    2 (28-ounce) cans cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed


    1/2 bunch fresh parsley leaves, finely minced


    Coarsely ground black pepper


    12 slices baguette


    1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano





    Combine the stock and halved garlic head in a big saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes to give the stock a nice, garlicky taste; strain out the garlic. Keep warm.


    Bring a pot of salted water to boil for the rigatoni.





    Pour 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the sage, rosemary and thyme and warm the oil over medium heat to infuse it with the flavor of the herbs, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the sausage with the side of a big spoon until well browned. Chop the carrots, celery, and onion in a food processor. Add to the saucepan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened but not browned.





    To the pan with the sausage stir in the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, cannelloni beans, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.





    Cook the rigatoni in the boiling water for 6 minutes; it should be slightly underdone. Drain and stir into the simmering soup. Add the parsley, and salt and coarsely ground black pepper, to taste. Discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs.





    To serve, preheat the broiler. Put the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the Parmigiano and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and float a couple of the baguette slices on top.

    here is a tomato soup recipe just leave the salt and pepper and splash of sherry out for your baby, but you could add them after for yourself





    Creamy tomato soup


    Serves 4-6











    Preparation time less than 30 mins





    Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour























    Ingredients


    3 tbsp olive oil


    1 large onion, chopped


    2 garlic cloves, crushed


    2 celery sticks, chopped


    200g/7oz carrots, chopped


    1 bay leaf


    1 large sprig fresh thyme


    750g/1陆lb ripe plum or vine-ripened tomatoes, roughly chopped


    陆 tsp sugar


    salt and freshly ground black pepper


    200ml/7fl oz passata


    500ml/17fl oz vegetable stock


    100ml/3陆fl oz single cream


    splash dry sherry


    crusty bread and butter, to serve











    Method


    1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the onion for 5-6 minutes over a gentle heat until almost softened but not browned. Add the garlic, celery, carrots, bay leaf and thyme and cook for a further 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, making sure the vegetables don't stick


    to the base of the pan.


    2. Add the chopped tomatoes and sugar and season well with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, then stir in the passata and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 35-40 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.


    3. Remove the bay leaf and thyme, then blend the soup in a liquidizer or food processor. This will probably have to be done in two batches. Pour the soup into a clean saucepan, passing it through a sieve if you want it really smooth. Stir in the cream, a splash of sherry and extra seasoning if required.


    4. Pour into large mugs or bowls and serve with fresh crusty buttered bread.





    Tip: Any remaining soup will keep in the fridge for a few days or can be frozen in individual servings. When reheating, make sure it's heated thoroughly but don't boil it as this will ruin the taste and texture of the soup.

    ummm yummy! and only a few ingrediants which are ok for a 12 month old
    You should check with your pediatrician to see if the acid in tomatoes would be ok for your baby. Also, since you will be introducing tomatoes for the first time, you know that you can't introduce anything else new to him (her) at the same time. When you give a baby a new food, you need to wait 3-4 days to see if they have a reaction. If you give them several new things at the same time, you won't know what they're allergic to, if they have a reaction. Even something simple like a spice, or garlic, is something ';new';... I'd stay with a vegetable soup, made from vegetables that he's already eaten....
