Heathen Gypsy Soup

024I know we’re supposed to be done with soups, but the snow is coming down by the bushel, there’s already 10 inches (25cm) on the ground and it’s still coming down.  Therefore,  being the benevolent Goddess that I am, I’m giving you 2, count ’em t-w-o, recipes today.  The first is yet another soup, but it’s nice and simple.  I have no idea why I called this Heathen Gypsy Soup…maybe because the ingredients in this soup would be readily available anywhere and would make it easy to prepare, given the nomadic qualities of the gypsy life-style.  Who knows on what level The Goddess’s mind operates (or doesn’t!)?  Anyway, I just ate a bowl for lunch and decided it was worth sharing after all.  It’s really just a good, straight-up vegetable soup.  You roast the vegetables (around the campfire where you are singing and dancing and doing other gypsy things…no stereo-types here, huh?), then make the soup.  Or better yet, use leftover roasted vegetables from last night’s dinner and cut the cooking time in half.  It’s a win-win either way.  The real key to this soup, is to simply use whatever vegetables you have lurking in your fridge.  Continue reading →

022Corn chowder can be served as is…a soup that focuses on corn, creamy or brothy, herby or not, etc.  Or it can be the base for clams, salmon, seafood, chicken, ham, etc.  It’s a very versatile meal.  Have corn chowder on Monday and with just a few additions, clam chowder on Wednesday.  Continue reading →

Midwestern Cauliflower-Cheddar Soup…with a Twist!

21 Wednesday Jan 2015

Posted by The Gourmet Goddess in Gluten Free, Soup, Vegetarian

apple cider, Beer, bleu cheese, broth, Cauliflower, Celery, cheddar cheese, heavy cream, Onions, roasted garlic

There are as many versions of cheese soups as there are brands of beer…well maybe not quite THAT many versions.  This version uses a lager/apple cider reduction, potato and cauliflower as part of the ingredients.  It’s yummy and creamy, like it should be, but there isn’t as much added heavy cream (or no cream at all, if you so choose), therefore we cut some calories, still have the creaminess we adore and add lovely flavors, too.  Continue reading →

Mashed Potato Perfection

Chives, gravy, Potatoes

015Mashed potatoes are comfort.  They are smooth, creamy and soft.  They are the perfect foil for gravy.  They are perfect baby food and potatoes have a good amount of both potassium and vitamin C.  Health and comfort…does it get much better than that?  It does, because these mashed potatoes don’t have any added fat in them…these are guiltless.    Continue reading →
