"I'm Lazy" Potato Soup
Stir in the cream cheese until it is melted and distributed throughout the soup.
Pepper to taste, serve hot. Suggested garnish: green onion.
I made this last week and it was delicious and filling! My only suggestion would be to use a little less broth... I would have preferred it to be a little thicker. DH and I topped it with crumbled turkey bacon and 2% shredded cheddar. It reheated well for left-overs last night. This is a must try!0 -

4 slices thick cut bacon

1 tablespoon minced chives, plus chopped chives for garnishing
Preparation
1. In a 5-qt. pot over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onion, carrots, bay leaf, white rice, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until onions are light golden, about 6 minutes. Add 5 cups water and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes. Remove bay leaf.

Yield
Makes 4 servings
Crock Pot Potato and Ham Soup
• 8 large potatoes, cubed
• 1 Large Hambone with a ****load of meat on it
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes
• 2 tablespoons dry parsley flakes
• 6 cup water
• 2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup flour, mixed with water
Preparation:
Place potatoes, onions, butter, bouillon, parsley, and water in the slow cooker/Crock Pot and cook all day on low to medium. 1/2 hour to one hour before serving; add milk and flour mixture. After the soup thickens, it is ready to serve.

Serves 6 to 8.
French Onion Soup
10 sweet onions (like Vidalia’s) or a combination of sweet and red onions
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white wine
10 ounces canned beef consume
10 ounces chicken broth
4 ounces apple cider (unfiltered is best)
1 Bottle Cider Beer
Bouquet garnish; thyme sprigs, bay leaf and parsley
1 loaf country style bread
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
Splash of Cognac (optional)
1 cup Fontina or Gruyere cheese, grated
Trim the ends off each onion then slice from end to end. Remove peel and finely slice into half moon shapes. Set electric skillet to 300 degrees and add butter. Once butter has melted add a layer of onions and sprinkle with a little salt. Repeat layering onions and salt until all onions are in the skillet. Do not try stirring until onions have sweated down for 15 to 20 minutes. After that, stir occasionally until onions are dark mahogany and reduced to approximately 2 cups. This should take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not worry about burning.
Add enough wine to cover the onions and turn heat to high, reducing the wine to a syrup consistency. Add consume, chicken broth, apple cider, beer and bouquet garnish. Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.
Place oven rack in top 1/3 of oven and heat broiler.
Cut country bread in rounds large enough to fit mouth of oven safe soup crocks. Place the slices on a baking sheet and place under broiler for 1 minute.
Season soup mixture with salt, pepper and cognac. Ladle soup into crocks leaving one inch to the lip. Place bread round, toasted side down, on top of soup and top with grated cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.0 -

I am going to have to get busy making soups. There are so many yummy ones.
This weekend I will get out my recipe box and find some goodies to share too!0 -
I make soup 4 or 5 times a week, based on what is in the fridge. Rarely use a recipe. Some soup ingredients that I almost always use are:
Onions and Celery -- Chopped and sauteed in garlic infused olive oil
Can of Chicken Broth (99% Fat Free)
Garlic Chile Paste
Sesame Oil
Chopped Green Onions
Cilantro
From there, I am raiding the crisper drawer, the garden and leftover proteins.0 -
I went to a fancy Thai restaurant this weekend with my bf. I had a soup called Gai Tom Kha. I really wish I could find a light version of this recipe because it tasted so fresh with yummy spices. Too bad it has a coconut milk base. I bet that makes up for a lot of the calories and fat. Oh man, it was so good!!0

a cup is considered to be 8 fl oz of liquid and 240 ml of dry products. hope that answers your question0

Saving for later - I love soup!0
