Pumpkin Soup

Pumpkin (kabocha) cubes
Diced onions
Celery
Ginger grated
Cumin, coriander, salt, pepper
chicken broth (4 cups)
Cooked in a crock pot on high for like 4 hours and then blended
put cilantro and lime juice on it before eating.

You'll like it, and it will erase the awful memories of pumpkin soup you have. Plus you'll get rid of pumpkin you had for some weird Asian dish. :)

Beet Soup

Today I did a variation on the Beet-Ginger-and-Coconut-Milk-Soup by Epicurious.
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/beet-ginger-and-coconut-milk-soup-51188420

We ate it with (what were supposed to be) heart shaped biscuits and salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Welcoming in February with pink. <3

2ish bowls of water with 2 chicken bullion cubes

2ish cups of vanilla coconut milk (regular milk would work too- I just needed to use mine up)

Salt

Pepper

Garlic (1-1.5 Tbs)

Ginger (2 Tbs)

--All boiling together--

Add (1/4) onions and (3) beets that have been diced and sauteed in butter and boil for 15-20 min.

Blend--when cool

Add cilantro sprigs after heating soup up

Very tasty and it has a lovely color. :)

Tomato Turmeric Soup

Tomato Turmeric Soup

By: Bronte Baird

2 cans of diced tomatoes

1 can of chicken broth

1 turmeric root shredded (with a grater)

1/4 onion diced

2 stems of celery diced

4 handfuls of spinach

Milk

Honey

Celery Salt

Black Pepper

Minced Garlic

Italian Herb Paste

I stirred it all together and then blended it so it wouldn't be quite so chunky. 

DO NOT blend hot. Make sure it either cools before you blend it or blend it before you boil it...

Or you may end up with tomato soup all over your kitchen and self. 

And the turmeric dies things yellow for a while.

Just sayin'
