Paleo/Primal Soup Recipes
Nut Soups and Porridges
Nut Porridge Suggestion
Soak almonds in juice. Blend using only enough water to get the
consistency you want, then heat topped with berries or something?
Granted, that sounds rather expensive to me, except for an on-occasion type
of meal... perhaps you could increase the volume by adding one of the
higher fiber fruits or veggies puréed--in most cases, it would also add
sweetness... for example, banana would make it quite creamy and sweet,
pear or apple would add sweetness and bulk, but change the texture some...
canned/cooked pumpkin/winter squash (with some spices) can be made quite
smooth and creamy (assuming the kids enjoy orange porridge :)...
A bit of coconut milk will also help smooth things out.

Paleo Almond Porridge
I just ran across a recipe the other day on the Protein Power BB
1 can coconut milk
3 eggs
1 cup shredded almonds (or almond flour)
Mix eggs and coconut milk together, put on stove and stir until 'crumbly'.
Put in shredded almonds and stir until desired thickness is reached. Spoon
into a bowl.
With almond flour, I would think this could be quite smooth and creamy.

Chestnut Soup
NOTE: To use fresh chestnuts, you'll need about 11-1/2 pounds. Cut an X
through the shell on flat side. Immerse in boiling water and simmer 10
minutes. Drain, and while nuts are warm and wet, use a small knife to pull
off shell and dark membrane. Or buy peeled, cooked chestnuts canned (in
water), frozen or in shelf-stable packaging. Up to 3 days ahead, make soup,
cover and chill Reheat to serve, thinning as desired with more broth - soup
thickens on standing.
1 cup minced shallots or onions
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
about 7 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
4 cups peeled cooked chestnuts
1-1/2 tablespoons slivered fresh chives or parsley
In a 5-6 quart pan over high heat, frequently stir shallots, thyme and 1/2
cup broth until vegetables are lightly browned. Add 6-1/2 cups broth and
chestnuts. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until
chestnuts mash easily, about 30 minutes. Whirl mixture, a portion at a
time, in a blender until it is very smooth. Or, with a slotted spoon, skim
chestnuts and vegetables from broth and puree them in a food processor,
then mix with the broth in the pan. Measure soup. If you have less than 6
cups, add broth to make this amount and return to pan and stir until hot.
if you have more, boil and stir until soup is reduced. Ladle hot soup into
bowls. Season to taste and sprinkle with chives.

Avocado Tomatillo Soup
This is hearty yet elegant, with a velvety texture and unusual smoky
flavor. The tang of tomatillos is beautifully balanced by the richness of
avocado.
1 to 2 fresh green chiles
1 quart fresh tomatillos (about 1-1/2 pounds), husked and rinsed
2 ripe Hass avocados*
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
* A ripe avocado is somewhat fragrant and yields slightly to thumb
pressure. When perfectly ripe, the soft flesh can be easily separated from
the peel. Dark, discolored spots are a sign of bruising and/or
overripeness.
Preheat the broiler.
Place the chiles and the tomatillos (stem side down) on an unoiled,
nonreactive, heatproof baking pan and broil near the heat source for about
10 minutes. Turn them over with tongs and broil for 5 minutes more. The
tomatillos will intensify in color and may scorch slightly-when removed
from the broiler, they should collapse or wilt.
Meanwhile, slice each avocado lengthwise around its center, gently twist
the halves apart, and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a large
bowl. Sprinkle on the lime juice and toss to coat well.
Remove the baking pan from the broiler and set aside the chiles for the
moment. Transfer the tomatillos and all of their juices to a separate bowl
to cool. Return the chiles to the baking pan, broil for 5 minutes longer,
and then set aside.
When cool, add the tomatillo juices to the avocados. Turn each tomatillo
inside out through its stem scar and use a spoon to scrape the flesh into
the bowl of avocados. Discard the skins. Remove and discard the stems and
any tough seeds from the chiles (see Note). Add the stemmed chiles,
scallions, cilantro, water, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
In a blender, puree everything in batches until very smooth and thick. If
needed, stop the blender once or twice to scrape down the sides. Add up to
1 cup of water if you prefer the soup less thick.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
Note: If desired, remove all of the chile seeds for a milder hot.

Cold Fruit Soup (Chrianteli)
One of the delicacies that reminds me most of the Kakhetian summer is a
cold soup, a fresh purée of fruits with just a hint of seasoning. It takes
only minutes to prepare. The fruits should be ripe enough to purée easily,
but not so ripe that they are overly sweet. Unlike the more familiar fruit
soups of northern and central Europe, chrianteli has no added sweeteners or
thickening agents. Serves 4.
2 pounds cherries or blackberries
3 sprigs each cilantro and dill, coarse stems removed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 small garlic clove, peeled and pressed
Minced scallion and cucumber for garnish
If using cherries, stem and pit them. Put the fruit through a food mill.
Mince the cilantro and dill. Mix the puréed fruit with the salt, garlic,
and herbs. Chill lightly. Garnish each bowl with minced scallion and
cucumber.

Mango Gazpacho
A refreshingly cool, sweet, and tart fruit soup that's perfect for
summertime. Fruit is mixed with fresh mint, tart lime, spicy ginger, and
cayenne.
Have fun substituting your favorite fruits for the diced pineapple and
melon. Apples and pears work great, too. The spice of the cayenne is a
great complement to the sweet fruits.
2 cups cubed mango
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup pineapple, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup of your favorite melon, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup mango, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice (from about 1 large lime)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste (optional)
Place the cubed mango and orange juice in a blender and blend until smooth.
Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to mix
well. Chill for 30 minutes before serving. Will keep for 2 days in the
fridge. Makes 4 servings.

August Melon Soup
Quick, easy-to-make, fatfree, and nutritious, this pretty soup is cool and
fresh tasting, a luscious celebration of melon and wonderful for a summer
dinner party or brunch. lt can be served as a refreshing counterpoint to
something piquant and a bit hot: a Chinese, Thai, or Caribbean grain salad
would be a good choice. Or offer it as an inviting starter or as a
naturally sweet dessert. Serving the soup in chilled cups is a nice touch.
The flavors of perfectly ripe melons make all the difference in such a
simple soup. Choosing the most flavorful cantaloupe can be tricky-almost a
matter of luck: look for one that feels heavy for its size, has a slight
give at the stem end, has a golden hue under the netting on the skin, and
smells sweetly fragrant. Yields 8 cups, serves 4.
1 large honeydew melon, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup orange juice
pinch of salt
1 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (3 to 4 cups)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1/4 cup rum or Midori liqueur (optional) [not GRAP]
In batches in a blender, puree the honeydew melon with the lemon juice,
orange juice, and salt. Pour into a bowl and stir in the cantaloupe cubes
and the mint. If you wish, add the nutmeg and/or rum or melon liqueur.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Serve cold.
Variation: Replace some of the cantaloupe cubes with red and/or yellow
watermelon cubes.

Musky Mellow Gazpacho
Gazpacho started out in Spain as a bread-based soup but has evolved into a
tomato-based soup with a kind of chopped-up salad in it. My version takes
advantage of the common tropical practice of using fruits as vegetables
when they're underripe. I use papayas and avocados, both of which have a
rich kind of muskiness that is cut by the acidity of the tomato and lime
juices.
6 cups tomato juice
2/3 cup papaya juice (you may substitute mango or pineapple juice)
2 slightly underripe papayas, peeled, seeded, and diced medium
(you may substitute slightly underripe mangoes)
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced medium
1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 green bell pepper, diced small
1/2 red onion, diced small
3 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 1/2 limes)
4 dashes Tabasco sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly cracked black
pepper to taste
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients gently. Allow to stand, covered
and refrigerated, for at least 2 hours–4 to 6 hours is ideal. Will
keep for up to 4 days, covered and refrigerated. Serves 4 as appetizer.

Kream of Broccoli with Red Bell Pepper Kream
Broccoli is blended with sweet cashews to make the soup base. Because raw
food is all about simulating the look, flavors, and textures of the cooked
version, I've added spinach for a greener color while also helping to
mellow out the strong taste of raw broccoli.
SOUP BASE
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup spinach, washed well and packed
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 cups water
TOPPING
1 recipe Red Pepper Kream
Place all the soup ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until
smooth. Divide among four serving bowls. Top each portion with a dollop of
Red Pepper Kream and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

Vegetable: Hot
Thickening Soups
I buy pecan meal. Very reasonable ($1.50 lb), at a local health foods store
that carries foods for Seventh Day Adventists. You could do it with a food
processor, starting with whole or broken pecans, but it would be more work
and a lot more expense. Pecan meal is a nice thickener for soups, now that
cornstarch, flour, potatoes, etc., are out. It doesn't make them smooth and
glossy, but it adds flavor and body.

Artichoke Soup (Zuppa di Carciofi)
5 medium artichokes
juice of one lemon
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, white and pale-green parts, sliced, washed well
3 shallots, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 fresh bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon peperoncino flakes (crushed red pepper flakes) (optional)
3 quarts water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Clean and prepare the artichokes. (To clean artichokes, fill a bowl with
approximately one quart of cold water and add the juice of one lemon, plus
the squeezed-out lemon halves. Peel and trim the stem of the first
artichoke. Pull off any tough outer leaves and discard. Using a paring
knife, trim away any tough parts around the base and stem of the artichoke.
With a serrated knife, cut off the top third of the artichoke and discard.)

Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and
shallots. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle in the garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and peperoncino. Cook until
the garlic is fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the water and bring
to a boil. Add the prepped, drained artichokes, and bring the soup to a
rapid simmering. Cook, uncovered, until artichokes are tender, about
1 1/2 hours.
Stir in the chopped parsley.

Lemony Asparagus Soup [or cold]
This silky, citrus-spiked soup, which can be served warm or chilled, is
adapted from a dish from Acquerello, an elegant San Francisco restaurant.
3 pounds asparagus, twelve 3" tips reserved, the rest cut into 1/2" pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small white onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 cups chicken stock
Two 1-inch wide strips of lemon zest
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest for garnish
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice
water. Boil all of the asparagus until bright green and barely tender,
about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to the ice water to cool, then drain
again. Cut the 12 asparagus tips in half lengthwise and set aside.
Wipe out the saucepan. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the
sliced onion to the saucepan and cook over moderately high heat, stirring,
until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and lemon zest
strips, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the asparagus pieces
and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Discard the lemon zest strips.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. Return the soup to the
saucepan and stir in the lemon juice. Season with salt and white pepper and
reheat if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the
asparagus tips and grated lemon zest. Serve hot or chilled.
Make Ahead: The asparagus soup can be refrigerated overnight; refrigerate
the asparagus tips separately.

Asparagus Soup (Satatsuri)
Satatsuri is traditionally made from the first asparagus of spring. Like
chikhirtma, it calls for eggs to be whisked in at the last minute as a
thickener, but here the eggs are allowed to curdle slightly to add texture
to the soup. Satatsuri is light as a spring breeze, with a delicate flavor.
Serves 4 TO 6.
1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into l-inch pieces
5 cups boiling water
2 small onions, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, dill)
Place the asparagus in a saucepan and pour the boiling water over them.
Simmer, covered, until the asparagus are fork-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the stalks.
Meanwhile, sauté the chopped onion in the oil. When the asparagus are done,
stir in the onions, salt, and pepper to taste.
Stir a small amount of the hot broth into the beaten eggs, then carefully
whisk the eggs into the soup, mixing well (the eggs are supposed to curdle
slightly). Stir in the chopped herbs and simmer for a few minutes more.

Broccoli and Cauliflower Soup
Fool-proof, quick and easy, this majorly low-cal soup impresses every time.
1 head of broccoli
1/2 head of cauliflower
6 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon crushed chilli
Spices of choice
Chop up the broccoli and cauliflower, then place all ingredients in a big
pot. Cook for around half an hour, to 3/4 of an hour until veggies are
soft. Use a potato masher to mash them up, and serve.
I use various spices each time I make this soup, one of my favourite
combinations is coriander, cinnamon and tumeric, but you can experiment and
see what you like best. Serves 6 - freezes very well too.
Comments:
- I put broccoli and cauliflower in the blender and it has a wonderful
mashed potato flavor.
- I used cinnamon/coriander/tumeric; also added rosemary, parsley, garlic
powder, celery salt, bay leaf, cayenne, and water instead of broth.
- I added a pinch of nutmeg and 1/4 tsp oregano. I used my hand blitzer
instead of the masher.
- I puréed the soup for a smooth texture. I used turmeric, chili paste and
ground white pepper and the soup has a kick to it!
- This is excellent for adding vegetables, filling you a bit more and
adding very few calories.
- I used coriander, cinnamon, garlic, crushed red pepper and a bay leaf.
Puréed in the blender.
- I used a stick blender.

Broccoli Acorn Squash Soup
A thick and hearty soup that is creamy without all the cream!
One Acorn squash peeled (potato peeler works pretty good) and chopped up
into chunks.
4 cups of broccoli crowns (can use prepackaged broccoli crowns)
Approx. 3 cups of chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 yellow onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place broth in a good size stock pot and add cubed sqush, onion and garlic.
Bring to a boil then add broccoli. Let cook for approximately 10 minutes
till vegetables are soft enough to blend. Add a touch of salt and pepper.
Ladel soup into blender and puree to eliminate the chunks (may have to do
in small batches). Add salt and pepper for additional seasoning and enjoy!
Number of Servings: 5-6
Comments:
- I pre-cooked the squash in the microwave (whole, just poke a few holes
in the skin and nuke for 8-10 minutes) and used frozen broccoli.
- I didn't peel the squash--just microwaved it until soft and then
scooped out the flesh.
- I did bake my squash first, which is much easier than peeling it.
- I also added fresh parsley.
- I didn't puree it, just used the hand mixer on it.
- I decided it needed a little something, so I added a tablespoon of
mustard.

Roasted Pumpkin-Apple Soup
Apples add just a hint of sweetness to this velvety pumpkin soup. Try it as
a delightful first course for a special meal.
4 pounds pie pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into
2-inch chunks (see Tip)
4 large sweet-tart apples, such as Empire, Cameo or Braeburn, unpeeled,
cored and cut into eighths
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts, toasted (see Tip)
2 tablespoons hazelnut oil
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Toss pumpkin (or squash), apples, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper in
a large bowl. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring
once, for 30 minutes. Stir in sage and continue roasting until very tender
and starting to brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Transfer about one-third of the pumpkin (or squash) and apples to a blender
along with 2 cups broth. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a Dutch oven and
repeat for two more batches. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt
and heat through over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent
splattering, for about 6 minutes. Serve each portion topped with hazelnuts
and a drizzle of hazelnut oil.
Tips and Notes
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the
microwave on High, covered, stirring frequently, or on the stovetop over
medium heat.
Tips: Make it easier to cut a pumpkin, acorn squash or other winter squash:
pierce in several places with a fork; microwave on High for 45 to 60
seconds. Use a large sharp knife to cut in half. Remove the seeds and
stringy fibers with a spoon.
To toast chopped nuts, small nuts and seeds, place in a small dry skillet
and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and
lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
READER'S COMMENTS (more at source site):
The taste was a little bitter, but was definitely softened by the hazelnuts
and oil. I found the oven temperature in the recipe to be too high. The
pumpkin got burned spots on it fairly quickly. Also, the apple takes much
less time to roast than the pumpkin. Maybe it should added along with the
sage to give the pumpkin a head start. Perhaps peeling the apples would get
rid of some of the bitterness.
There is no need to peel squash before roasting. Using a large sharp
butcher knife, cut into 1/2 or 1/4's or what ever (depending on the size
you are starting with) Then place meat side down on a cookie sheet and
roast at 400 until a fork can pierce the skin easily. (higher heat can
cause bitterness if it gets burnt) Let cool until you can handle (or even
in the fridge over night). The skin comes right off and if there are any
burnt edges you can easily cut them off the larger pieces.
Do not skip the garnish of hazelnut oil, if at all possible--it adds a
wonderful depth to the flavor. I used about a cup less broth than was
called for and had a velvety soup. I also used more sage than was called
for. Honeycrisp apples were perfect for flavor, but Macintosh would also be
good when those are not in season.
Steaming the pumpkin (cut up) first will make it much easier to peel.

Cream of Cauliflower Soup
a large head of cauliflower
2-3 stalks celery
1 carrot
2 cloves garlic
1-2 onions
1-2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp pepper
a few sprigs of parsley
1/4 tsp sage (or your favourite blend of herbs; spices)
Chop head of cauliflower (save a handful of tiny flowerets for a raw
garnish) and put in a soup pot. Chop; add stalks celery, carrot, garlic
and onions. Add spices. Barely cover with water, bring to boil and simmer
until veggies are tender. Blend the contents of the pot and adjust
seasonings to taste. Add a little hot water if the soup is too thick. Serve
garnished with raw flowerets.
Serving suggestion: Serve with a steak, plus a spinach/lettuce and mushroom
salad garnished with grated carrot and parsley. You can use the same basic
recipe for Cream of Broccoli or Cream of Asparagus Soup. You won't miss the
fact that is no actual cream in the soup, given the thick consistency and
rich flavour of the main veggie.
You can also add chopped, cooked meat for a quick lunch.

Cauliflower and Leek Soup
1 small head Cauliflower, raw, (4" dia) chopped
4 cups vegetable broth (about 2 cans I guess)
1 leek, sliced/chopped
2 celery stalk, medium (7-1/2" - 8" long) sliced
10 asparagus spears, small (5" long or less) Chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and pepper
Steam the cauliflower until it's somewhat soft. Drain. (I might steam the
asparagus along with it too, just to cut down on steps)
Chop up the celery, leek(s) and garlic and have ready. This can always be
done while the steaming is going on.
In a decent sized pot, add Vegetable broth, garlic and cauliflower. Let
cook for a while and squish up the cauliflower using a fork/spoon/blender
thing, whatever works best for.
When it's puréed enough, add the celery, asparagus, leeks and everything
else.
Let cook until it's thoroughly heated and all the stuff in it is tender.
Comments:
- I doubled the leeks and then added some portabello soup.
- I added 1 celery instead of 2, and no asparagus. Then I used an immersion
blender.
- Creamed all cooked ingredients in blender; added 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp
coarse black pepper.

Broccolini-Spring Onion Soup
2 tablespooons extra-virgin olive oil
10 whole scallions, ends trimmed and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds broccolini, florets and stalks cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 quarts (6 cups) chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, for garnish
Place a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat and add
the oil. When the oil is warm, add the scallions and cook, stirring
occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the broccolini and cook,
stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes more.
Add the broth, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the
heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until the broccolini is only
just tender and still bright green, 15 to 18 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let cool, uncovered, for about 5 minutes.
In batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor. (Hold the top of
the blender firmly with a folded towel to prevent an explosion of hot
soup.) Return to the soup to a clean pot and warm through gently over
medium heat. Taste for seasoning.
Ladle into warm bowls or tall mugs and garnish with chives.

Cream of Parsnip Soup
This might be a lovely cream base for other ingredients (or cream of
cauliflower, celeriac, or leek perhaps? Or combination thereof)
Here's what I did:
Peel parsnips, chop. Place in a pot with chopped onion. Cover with a mixture
of water and chicken bone broth. Add a piece of kombu and ground white
pepper. Bring to boil, simmer until parsnips are tender. Remove kombu,
reserve for use again. Puree soup in a blender. Return to pot, add finely
chopped parsley and 2 Tbs. coconut milk. The coconut milk will lend a
creaminess, but is not really enough to make it taste very sweet and
coconut-y.
I sometimes add kuzu root starch to coconut milk to help it thicken. You mix
1 Tbs starch with 2 Tbs water and add that to 1 cup coconut milk. Be sure not
to boil, or it will turn gummy.

- I threw this is in the slow cooker, which doesn't need the oil.
- I would add 1/2 a small butternut squash to round out the flavor.
- Sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
- I also added an apple and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Next time I'll put some bacon in it.
- I modified it, using what was in the kitchen: 2 large sweet potatoes and
half an acorn squash, 1 leek and 1 red onion, mushroom broth, lots of
ginger, and a cube of frozen garlic and basil from the garden last summer.

Sweet Potato, Capsicum (pepper) and Ginger Soup
1 red pepper
1 brown onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped and crushed
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1-5" orange sweet potato, cut in 2 cm cubes (more if desired)
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cups chicken, beef or vegetable stock
1 cup water
Pinch of chili (chili flakes are great, optional)
Cook the pepper, skin-side up, under a hot grill for 10 minutes or until
the skin blackens and blisters. Cool in a plastic bag and then peel and
chop roughly.
Heat the olive oil in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Add onion
and sauté for 3 minutes or until softened but not colored. Add the garlic,
ginger and chili and cook for 1 minute. Add the sweet potato (that has been
peeled and chopped roughly) and coat well in the onion mixture. Pour in the
stock and water, simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potato is
soft.
Cool slightly and stir in the pepper.
Blend in a food processor until smooth or simply mash with a potato masher.

Chicken and Sweet Potato Soup
2 sweet potato, 5" long
1 lb chicken breast, no skin
1.5 cup carrots, cooked, slices
1 cup celery, cooked, diced
2 Jalapeno peppers
6 cup chicken stock, home-prepared
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic
1 cup onions, raw, chopped
1 tsp thyme, dried
1 bay leaf, dried
Salt and pepper to Taste
This is pretty self-explanatory. Start the olive oil over medium heat,
saute the onions and garlic for a minute, then add the carrots, celery and
jalapenos. (It actually tastes better if you use chipotle peppers instead
of just raw jalapenos, but sometimes I modify if we want a little less
heat, since we find the raw jalapenos to be less hot than the smoked ones).
Before adding any liquid, add the spices and herbs and stir it to let the
flavors start to "stick" to the veggies. Then add the stock, bring to a
boil and add the chicken. I dice the chicken in bite-size pieces, but as
long as you're willing to wait a little longer, you could certainly add
larger pieces, even whole pieces. Once the soup is again boiling for about
10 minutes, add the sweet potatoes and continue to cook until potatoes are
tender. (Note: you may want to peel the sweet potatoes; I leave the peel
on.)
Number of Servings: 6
Comments:
- I sautéed the veggies and then threw the potatoes, chicken, and veggies
in the crock pot. Cooked it all day and that mashed with a potato masher.
- We used 1 chipotle pepper for nice warm spice.

Fresh Tomato Soup with Moroccan Spices
With tomatoes as good as they are all over the Mediterranean, it stands to
reason that myriad dishes have evolved from one end of the basin to the
other. The French have their cream of tomato soups, the Spanish their
gazpacho, the Greeks their tomato and bulgur wheat soups, and more. I
especially like Moroccan tomato soups that couple the summer's
quintessential vegetable with densely aromatic spices. The balance is
lovely.
6 servings
8 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 scant teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 scant teaspoon ground cumin
1 cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon honey
2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Place the tomatoes in a food processor and puree. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, add the onion, and
cook until wilted, about 8 minutes. Add the paprika, ginger, cumin, and
cinnamon and stir to coat. Pour in the tomatoes, honey, broth, and half the
parsley and cilantro. Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil, then
reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes, or until
slightly thickened. Remove from the heat, cool to room temperature, and
chill for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Just before serving stir in the
lemon juice and remaining parsley and cilantro.

Green Squash Soup
1 medium leek or onion, preferably organic
1 pound summer squash, such as zucchini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cups meat or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
2 tablespoons artichoke purée (see Note)
Remove the root end and green top part of the leek. Wash the white part of
the leek well to remove any dirt, then chop it into fine pieces. Wash and
trim the squash and chop it into medium-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped leek and
sauté it until it is translucent. Add the squash and sauté, stirring, until
the squash softens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the stock and marjoram, heat to boiling, cover, reduce heat, and boil
gently for 30 minutes. Add the artichoke purée and mix well.
Pour the soup into a food processor and process into a coarse purée.
Note:
Artichoke purée is available in specialty grocery stores. You can also make
your own simply by draining a jar of water-packed baby artichokes and
grinding them in a blender or food processor. Store any leftover purée in
the refrigerator and use it as a dip for raw vegetables.

Smoked Marlin Pepperpot
In some of the earliest references to pepperpot soup, all sorts of
ingredients were mentioned, including bamboo shoots, cotton tree tips, and
prawns and crawfish. So, while Jay's original recipe that follows may seem
unique, he says it is not really all that innovative to include fresh or
smoked marlin in a pepperpot.
4 quarts water
2 1/2 pounds spinach, finely chopped
1 pound fresh okra, chopped
1 1/2 pound kale or callaloo, finely chopped
2 chayote squashes, peeled and grated
1/2 pound dasheen, 1/4-inch diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1 ounce grated ginger root
3 scallions, chopped
4 thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
1 whole green Scotch bonnet pepper
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 pounds fresh or smoked marlin, flaked
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring the water and the first nine ingredients to a boil in a large soup
pot. Cover the pot, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Pass the mixture
through a colander or food mill, then return it to the pot. Add the thyme,
bay leaves, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Simmer until the soup thickens, then
add the coconut milk and the marlin. Simmer 5 minutes more, season with
salt and pepper, and serve. Serves 10

Hans' Fish Soup
I made salmon soup the other day. I boiled the bones and fins and tail
(I had bought the tail half of a salmon) for I guess an hour.
Then I strained to get the broth separated from bones and other, cut
some of the salmon filéts in small pieces, added to the broth
together witth some fresh onion and other green spicey things and
boiled for a few minutes. Tasted very good.
I guess you can boil fish heads for a few minutes to be able to peel
away the good meat pieces, to put aside when boiling the boney and
fatty parts for quite a while, then putting the meat back into the
soup just to warm before serving (to not overcook the meat).

Tapado (Seafood Soup)
2 cups fresh coconut milk -- (see recipe)
1 small onion
1 medium red bell pepper
2 pounds red snapper fillets, sea bass, or tilefish
1 pound medium shrimp
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon achiote (annatto) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 medium banana
1 medium tomato
3 tablespoons minced cilantro leaves
PREPARATION:
Make the Coconut Milk (see recipe in this cookbook). Peel and thinly slice
the onion (1/2 cup). Core, seed, and cut the bell pepper into 1/4-inch
strips. Cut the fish fillets into 2-inch pieces. Peel, rinse, and devein
the shrimp.
COOKING:
Heat the corn oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and red pepper and
sauté over medium heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add the Coconut
Milk, oregano, achiote, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring
liquid to a boil and then simmer over low heat until slightly thickened,
about 5 minutes. Stir in the fish and the shrimp and simmer until seafood
is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Peel and cut the banana into 1-inch slices. Cut the tomato into 1-inch dice
(3/4 cup) and add it to the soup along with the banana. Simmer the soup
until the banana and tomato are just cooked, 5 minutes. (Can cover and
refrigerate up to 4 hours.)
SERVING:
Reheat the soup if made in advance. Stir in the cilantro. Serves 4 to 6
NOTES: Coconut milk gives a Southeast Asian accent to this Guatemalan
specialty.
The Caribbean coast of Guatemala has a wealth of fresh fish and coconuts.
This dish, which frequently contains a wide variety of seafood, including
squid, crab, shrimp, red snapper, sea bass, or mako shark, is an expression
of this natural bounty. Achiote, also known as annatto, is a red-orange
vegetable dye used to color dishes throughout Latin America.

Egg Drop Soup
4 cups chicken broth or stock
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1-2 green onions, minced
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Salt to taste
A few drops of oil (if desired)
In a wok or saucepan, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add the
white pepper and salt, and the sesame oil if using. Cook for about another
minute. Very slowly pour in the eggs in a steady stream. To make shreds,
stir the egg rapidly in a clockwise direction for one minute. To make thin
streams or ribbons, gently stir the eggs in a clockwise direction until
they form. Garnish with green onion and serve.
Variations
These would all be added after the seasonings. After adding, let the soup
cook for a few more minutes and then add the beaten egg.
**If you are preparing the soup for someone who is ill, try adding a slice
of fresh, grated ginger. Among its many benefits, ginger is believed to be
helpful in treating colds and flu.

Chicken Soup
There are two approaches, one with the stock prepared in advance, the other
when you do not have existing stock.
For basic stock here is what I do:
I buy chicken backs and necks. I roast 3 or 4 pounds in an oven-safe
stockpot along with one peeled and quartered onion, one peeled and quartered
garlic clove, a stick of celery and a peeled stick of carrot for about 1.5
hours at a 400 degree F. oven or until things are browned. Then I put the
stockpot onto the stove, add water to the top along with a tblspn of lemon
juice or vinegar (acidity helps increase the calcium uptake from the bones)
and boil, then simmer for hours, the longer the better. As it boils lazily,
I keep a spoon and bowl by the stove and skim the funny foam from the top
occasionally. I add water as it needs it, but towards the end of the time I
have to boil it I let it boil down a bit. Then I remove from the stove,
transfer through a strainer into a bowl, and add ice cubes to the bowl. This
brings the temperature down quickly and I put the bowl in the refrigerator.
The next day, I skim the fat off and sometimes freeze the stock. I microwave
the big stock container and thaw what I need for a given kitchen task.
Notice that I never add spices, herbs or salt to the stock, so that I have a
good quality neutral stock that can be used for anything such as using to
poach or steam veggies, making soup, sauce, etc.
You can use the stock as above and put in some shredded cooked chicken along
with carrots, onions etc. and then boil until the veggies are cooked.
For chicken soup without the stock-making step:
In boiling stockpot half filled with water, put in a rinsed whole chicken
without the giblets. Poach until cooked and remove the chicken and let cool,
reserving the broth in the stockpot. Remove the meat from the chicken and
set aside. Put the bones back into the broth, add the acid, and boil lazily,
skimming the foamy stuff as above, adding water as above, etc. The longer
the better. Near the end of cooking, add the veggies such as carrots, sliced
and cut onion, cut celery. When the veggies are cooked, turn the heat off,
transfer to a bowl, add the ice cubes to cool rapidly, refrigerate and skim
the fat the next day. Now, to serve, heat up the stock and add some of the
chicken meat, diced or hand shredded, and serve. If you serve without the
refrigeration step that is fine, you will end up with some fat in the soup
(big deal).
BTW, when we eat turkey or duck, I use the carcass for this, or I freeze the
carcass and do this later. Turkey stock is actually as good or even better
than chicken stock.

Smoked Turkey Gumbo
First part of Recipe
Tall stock pot or other suitable pot
One Turkey carcass (Including what meat remains on bones)
one large onion, quartered
one stalk celery
2 or 3 cloves garlic
water to cover carcass
Bring to a boil and simmer over night or all day if preferred. Remove
carcass and strain broth. Set aside. I use another skillet and use about
1/2 cup oil (could be bacon grease) equal amount or flour (don't know what
you would sub. for that.)
Make a roux with flour and oil (that means to brown with out burning)
One large onion chopped,
2 or 3 cloves garlic chopped
1 or 2 stalks of celery chopped
1 pkg of cut frozen Okra (Or fresh if you are lucky enough to get it.)
1 bunch green onions chopped
Add above ingredients to the browned roux. Stir veg. till tender. (The okra
won't be slimy anymore.) Add to strained broth.
1 can crushed tomato's (I use a large size can, you can omit if you don't
like tomato's)
1 lb. pkg smoked sausage or 1 lb. ham cubed cut up sausage into small
pieces or cube the ham and brown in skillet. Add to the broth and stir all
remove meat from bones and add meat to pot.
At this time I add Salt, Pepper and Red pepper (To taste)
1 or 2 Bay leaves added to pot.
Simmer till you can't wait any longer, then serve. (Traditionally over
rice but you don't need to. It is good by itself.)
You don't have to make the roux. That is just tradition, it doesn't really
thicken the gumbo, it just gives flavor.

Uncle Michael's Oxtail Pepperpot
1 pound oxtails
2 onions, minced
1/2 cup minced scallions
6 thyme sprigs
6 pimento (allspice) berries
3 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound pork, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons oil
1 pound dasheen or yellow yam, peeled and diced to 1/2-inch
If your oxtails are salted, soak them for an hour or two in cold water.
Discard the water.
In a bowl, combine the onions, scallions, thyme, allspice, garlic, and salt
and pepper. Rub this mixture into the oxtails and pork. Allow the meat to
marinate in a pot in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Heat a cast-iron pot. Add the oil, and brown the meat well. Add a little
water only if necessary; the meat should brown in its own fat. Cover the
pot, and cook the meat over low heat for several hours, until the meat is
very tender. Add the dasheen or yam about an hour before the meat is done.
Serves 4 to 6

NeanderSoup
Pour in enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan (a big saucepan).
Cook a chopped-up onion, some minced garlic, some chopped celery until
they're soft. Then add about 4 cups of water. Then see what all is in the
refrigerator: at this point throw in whatever you've got -- some grated
carrot, shredded escarole, a bit of kale, leftover cooked chicken, some
herbs - parsley, basil, oregano. Let it simmer for awhile, maybe 20-30
minutes.
