I need some help to make a lot of soup!
I have to come up with something quick. What kind of soup can I make that's easy, will feed about 10 people and requires no draining of fat or any of that business. I also do not want to have to go out and buy a million ingredients. I have 5 cans of chicken broth at home if that helps anything. What about a tortilla soup? Can I do that? How hard is that? As you can tell, I know nothing. |

Darcy, a stupid question. I'm assuming it's called Butternut Squash soup? Can I use champagne instead of white wine? Or vodka? I'm only half joking. What about something with potatoes? I just remembered I have about 5 pounds of those. Can you tell I'm trying really hard not to have to go to the store? |
| Two easy soups:
Green Chile Chicken Enchilada soup...this feed four (or 2 hungry college kids) 2 cans low fat cream of mushroom soup 1 can green chiles diced 4 potatoes peeled and chunked 1 lb. chicken (get the precooked stuff) diced 1/2 to 1 cup skim milk Cook the pototes in the microwave or boil. If cooked in soup the soup scorches. Combine all and heat through. Add more milk if you like it a bit more runny. Serve with corn bread muffins?? Sausage Soup Ole Serves about 6 1 lb. sausage....I use hot Italian, I think it was designed for chorizo. Cook ahead and slice. 1 1/2 cups carrots thinly sliced 1 envelope onion soup 5 cups broth (chicken is fine) 1 1lb. can kidney beans drained and rinsed 1 1lb. can tomates (I use the onion and pepper stuff) 1 1lb. can corn drained 1 tsp. oregano 1/2 t. cumin Dilute the dry soup with chicken broth, add carrots, tomatoes and seasoning. Cook until carrots are done...sorta. Add the sausage and beans, simmer to mingle flavors. |

?!?! growiing up in a jewish home, I watched my grandmother, aunts and my mom slave over Matzo ball soup. With all the straining and fat removal, I swore I'd never try and make the stuff. You have an "easy" recipe that won't take hours and hours? |

that's because they were making the soup base from scratch......did they also have to pluck the chicken? Don't laugh.....some of the best soups I've had started with rounding up the bird, etc, etc. If you already have a wonderful soup base, making the matzo balls isn't too hard. Never could talk my Mom into making it......."go to Hirschmans if you want that!" It's tough being a goi in a Jewish neighborhood. |
Yeah...I cheat and start with the broth....starting from scratch is WAY too much work.  |
| yeah; they'd make the broth and then use the removed chicken fat in the Matzo balls. Best. Soup. Ever. |
| Chicken Schmaltz! Oh my arteries are clogging but my tummy happy. |
| jill...yes you can use champagne instead of wine...no i wouldnt use vodka.....

One 16-oz. bag frozen hash browns (the shredded or the southern style - I like the southern style because it makes a chunkier soup) One can chicken broth or two chicken bouillon cubes and envelopes of chicken broth mix 2 cups of water One medium or 1 cup diced onion One can cream of chicken soup One can cream of celery soup 3 or so cups of milk salt and pepper Simmer the hash browns, onion, water and chicken broth for about an hour. Add the undiluted cans of soup, milk, salt and pepper and heat through. It's as easy as that! If you want it thicker you can throw in some instant mashed potato flakes or buds, and I serve it with bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese. |
| We just finished the event. I ended up making Susan's chicken enchilada soup, except I didn't dice everything small and called it a stew. It was a big hit, in fact, I actually won the prize for favorite soup (well, stew)!
Thanks for all your suggestions, especially Susan since I got a pretty nice prize for her recipe.  |
| well, what did you win??????? |
| Very cool!! Nice work Jill!!
What was the prize? |
Yeah, don't you share?? LOL! Glad it worked out well. My summer intern gave it to me years ago, said it was big with the college kids.....except the original recipe starts with sauteing chicken breasts  Even I will not do that for a soup recipe. |
| Hahahahaha! Figures!
Whadja get, whadja get? A crockpot? |

Even I will not do that for a soup recipe.I actually did cook the chicken because I had made them for something else. In fact, I had marinated it in mesquite, which seemed to give it a nice pop. It may have been what won me the prize. I got a $50 gift card to Bed, Bath and Beyond. Not bad, huh? |
| Pretty funny, actually! |
| nice!!! more pillows for your bed!! |
| Be careful of that Beyond section. You might not be able to find your way out again!!! |
| Cooool gift!!
Mesquite sounds yummy....nice exchange |

That's what James said. He was like, "I don't mind the bed and bath but I fear the beyond." |
| Definitely going to have to try the recipe then! I always get complaints that I don't make soups/chili/stews (because I hate them), but your recipe looks good. |
