The economy, Lew's recent layoff, a Depression Era cook and my brother Kendal have inspired me to create hearty soups that contain inexpensive ingredients. I want to make soups that are healthy, lower-in-fat and full of vegetables.
I asked Lew to procure some particular soup ingredients on his last grocery trip. I'm pretty excited. The ingredients which I am currently considering are a head of cabbage, carrots, celery, chicken breasts, small potatoes, onion, corn, tomatoes, garlic, bell pepper, green beans and ground turkey. I'm considering either Italian or Cajun seasoning. I'll let you know how it goes and post the recipe later.
I've found several recipes on the web for inspiration and technique. These are the ones that really strike me:
Lower Fat Chicken Vegetable Soup by Pam Oliphant
Wedding Soup by SALLIEIS60
Country Cabbage Soup by Vicky Catullo
Fat-Free Vegetable Soup
Chicken and Sausage Stew by Diana Rattray
I also think that once I've developed a soup or stew, I'll be able to create a lot of different variations. Oh, the fun! I'll let you know what the guys say about it too. More to come!
Love,
