Broccoli Bisque: One pot, one blender, one bowl

Broccoli Bisque is a delicious one pot soup

I guess I never knew how tasty and easy soups were to make in the blender. Just simmer some ingredients in a pot; add to blender; serve in bowl and voilá! Here’s a puréed soup recipe I made with an unlikely ingredient: broccoli. It packs a ton of veggies into each serving, and the fresh, green color gives all kinds of healthy feel goods. This broccoli bisque recipe is a variation on my carrot ginger soup. The steps are largely the same. Just swap out the veggies. Broccoli Bisque Serves about 6 Ingredients 3 big handfuls of spinach, washed 1/2 stick of butter 1 large onion, chopped 4 tbsp. flour 2 cans vegetable broth (chicken broth is fine for omnivores) 7 cups broccoli florets (about 1 large head) 1/2 cup cream pepper salt 1 cup plain yogurt 1 lemon Directions In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat.

Slow-cooker mexican turkey chili makes for a lean, hearty meal

If you’re trying to eat healthy, the Super Bowl comes at a super inconvenient time.

Cream of mushroom soup is perfect dinner on a cold day

Cream of mushroom soup is for dinner on a cold day

The best recipe inspirations come from others. Not that I’ve never had a cream of mushroom soup, but it took a trip to Costa Rica for me to have a cream of mushroom soup that I couldn’t live without. I should explain. It’s not that cream of mushroom is a staple in the Costa Rican diet, but I spent a week SCUBA diving off of the western coast of one of their national parks called Cocos Island, on a live aboard (dive) boat with a staff that served us some pretty tasty food. Among them, were a handful of delicious, filling puréed soups — one of my favorites! This mushroom version was one I knew I had to make when I got home. It was so much lighter than any I had before and it actually tasted like mushrooms — not cream. I think I came pretty close to replicating the original,…

Slow cooker caramelized onions

Slow cooker caramelized onions

Caramelizing onions in a crock pot with just a bit of olive oil and salt is a fool-proof method for getting a huge batch of these delicious, golden-brown morsels just right. Since most busy weeknight cooks don’t have the time to let caramelized onions reach their peak flavor, the solution is setting the crockpot and making them for the months ahead. Onions are naturally sweet, and cooking them slowly allows the natural sugars in the onion to caramelize. The result is an intensely rich flavor that improves any pizza, onion soup, pasta, dip or sandwich. Caramelized onions are good on pretty much every… single… thing. What else do you like them on? Follow these easy steps for never mushy, perfectly tender caramelized onions: Slow cooker Caramelized onions Ingredients 7-8 medium to large onions 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Directions Peel and slice your onions about 1/8″ thick. Toss onions…

Food bank received antique Heinz soup can donation

Food bank received antique Heinz soup can donationTwitter via Cardiff Foodbank

We’re all guilty of it. When it’s time to donate to the food bank, we go to our shelves and pull off some items without giving the expiration date much thought. But one food bank was stunned after a mystery donor left a 47-year-old tin can of soup. It’s a record!! Never had a donation with 10d on before! Please could we remind everyone that food donated needs to be in date! Thank you 🙂 pic.twitter.com/EVf5qMulA6 — Cardiff Foodbank (@CardiffFoodbank) October 5, 2017 The workers at the Cardiff Foodbank posted a picture of antique can of Heinz kidney soup to Twitter. The photo showed a price tag with 10d stamped it. The can is thought to be about 46 or 47 years old, dating to at least before 1971 when Britain adopted a decimal system for their currency. Heinz hasn’t even made kidney soup in 35 years. It’s believed that the soup…
