Use-up Parsnip Soup
John A @JohnA
I’m happy to pay for good ingredients but hate wasting food, so I make a lot of soups from leftovers. This soup uses “uncooked leftovers”, i.e. veg that weren’t needed for Christmas dinner. It’s a creamy, smooth soup, the consistency of which can be adjusted to personal preference by varying the amount of stock used or, indeed, the quantity of veg. The veg could, of course, be specially bought in - or for that matter home-grown.#WastenotWantnot

- 1
Heat oil to medium-high in a stockpot or similar and fry the onions for 2 minutes. You should not need to stir but don’t burn them. Soft but not caramelised is the aim.
- 2
Add the parsnips and potatoes and give it all a quick stir.
- 3
Add the stock and stir well. Bring to boil.
- 4
Reduce to a fast simmer, add the thyme and cover.
- 5
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 6
Pour into a blender and whizz until a nice smooth consistency is achieved.
- 7
Taste and season if required. I find that it’s usually sufficiently salty already.
- 8
Serve piping hot with granary bread, crusty rolls or other bread.

Parsnip Soup
I attempted to recreate a soup I had at Fleur de Sel, a restaurant in New York. (The soup at the restaurant had boiled chestnuts added to it.)I think it would be hard to find parsnips in Japan, but if you can get them, please try making this soup. By the way, parsnips are part of the parsley family. Recipe by K-ana

I like to serve this soup warm or cold in small glasses as amuse-bouche. I prefer it mild in order to taste the subtlety of the ingredients but if you and your guests are into bolder flavors, add cayenne or hot sauce.

Creamy Parsnip and Apple Soup
Poor parsnips, what culinary delights can you provide? For one this incredible soup! Not every soup needs to be completely savory. It has a smooth finish if you add the half & half.
Creamy Tomato Soup - Slow Cooker
Another easy dump and go recipe. Perfect for busy weeknights and chilly evenings. I like to serve with some grilled cheese sandwiches, but you could just do some extra cheese and croutons on top or you could stir in some cooked pasta or cooked rice to make it a more filling main meal. This recipe makes quite a lot of soup, but without the cream and cheese it can be frozen or you can half the recipe in a 4 qt sized slow cooker..
Chicken & vegetable soup.
This is the soup made from my 5 way chicken stock recipe and I have been making this for years for many many people and everyone loves it. This makes 18 servings and added to the puffins and pies makes 36 servings from 1 chicken and a few veg all of which cost around £10.00. Even though there is no chicken in this soup all the goodness and flavour from the chicken is. You can add chicken to bowls if required.

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Yummy and comforting, this is an easy recipe for creamy chicken noodle soup. Perfect for when the weather starts to cool down or when someone's sick. I use chicken that I cook in the slow cooker, then shred, but rotisserie chicken would work fine as well. Feel free to leave out the flour and cream for a classic (non-creamy) chicken noodle soup and increase the broth amount to 8 cups.

Easy Tummy Soup
We're all told that chicken noodle soup is what to eat for all ills, but when it's your tummy that's the problem, a high fat soup with egg noodles is often the last thing you need. This is for those times.Note: This is a first draft recipe - we all have the stomach flu here to varying degrees. This recipe was created on the fly, so measurements are loose and will be tightened up the next time I do it!

Radish Leaf Soup
I grew some radishes in the garden and the leaves were just too good to simply throw away so I made this soup with them. In Portugal this soup is normally made with turnip leaves and seeing as radishes are from the same family the taste will be almost identical.
Cheeseburger Soup
A great, simple soup with a stick to your ribs kind of feel to keep you warm on the coldest of days ahead. The sour cream adds a nice tangy note that really ties everything together. I would list a number of servings, but it doesn't matter... they all come back for more. ;)
