Looking for something easy to make for guests. Not butternut squash soup, since I always make that. I recently got an immersion blender, so blended soup ideas would be good...
I love to make (and eat) carrot-ginger soup.
Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger in a large stock pot. Add white wine, vegetable stock, and chopped carrots. Cook over medium heat until the carrots are tender. Puree. Season with lemon juice, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chives or parsley. Delicious.
Didnt you ask this question a couple months ago ? lol
Yummy easy vegetarian soup ?
I tried a couple from that post, the potato leek soup was my fave.
This is not a soup but wonder if you can make it a soup by adding more water.
This is our most favorite side dish....Fake Mashed Potatoes...for your soup can make cauliflower soup, I heard it exists out there.
For the fake mashed potatoes recipe
Microwave 3 Tablespoon water with a bag of frozen cauliflower for 8 minutes, In blender, put 2 Tablespoon butter and 2 Tablespoon cream cheese. Blend til smooth. Season pepper to taste. It sounds yucky (i was never a fan of cauliflower intil found this recipe...I think found this in South Beach Diet in the '90s)
cucumber soup cook down cucumbers no seeds with potatoes onions...puree ....add chicken broth boil it down add heavy cream....eat hot or even better cold
this is kind of a soup, kind of not... I will throw it out there and leave it to you to make up your minds after seeing it.
Take one head of cabbage, slicing it up into ~1 inch cubes, removing the core.
shred 1-2 carrots depending on size.
slice 1 onion into 1/2 inch cubes.
Put the cabbage into a large frying pan along with a light coating of olive oil. Place on low-medium heat, cover, and let it stem for roughly 10 minutes. Stir regularly. At that point, add the carrots and onions, possibly some garlic if you would like to the pan. Season as you would like, personally I go with some ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Continue to stir regularly.
After the onions start turning clear, add one can of tomato paste, mixing thuroughly.
Continue stiring regularly.
The dish is completed when you notice a definite liquid-soupy look in the pan when stiring.
Add a small amount of white wine and let sit under very low heat for 5 minutes or so, while stiring.
overall, a very good recipe that I learned while living with some Russians for a year.
zucchini soup i mentioned in your other question - saute garlic, onion, add chopped carrots and celery, add lots of chopped zucchini, add veggie broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. use the immersion blender until smooth. cook it down for a little while. yum! it's a surprisingly different flavor.
also, vegetarian french onion soup is great for a very different flavor. (i can send you a great recipe if you can't find one)
Hi Perchik, you're right--Busted! I did ask this same questionabout 5 months ago...i thought maybe people would have some new ideas for me :) and I did get some new suggestions...thank you SFerik for the carrot-ginger idea--I am going to try it!

I know you asked this months ago, but I just found it and I have a favorite soup to add.
It’s super easy, you could add fresh veggies instead of the canned, it just takes longer to cook that’s all.
1 can (32oz or something like that) Tomato Juice – Lower Sodium if you can find it
Fresh:
Onions 1–2 medium (in my opinion the more the better)
Celery – 2–3 stalks
Red Potatoes – about 5–6 good size ones depending on how much you like them
Canned: (1 regular size can each)
Carrots (No Salt Added)
Corn (No Salt Added)
Green Beans (No Salt Added)
Diced Tomatos (No Salt Added)
(You could add other veggies as you see fit, fresh and canned)
Salt/Pepper to taste
Italian Seasoning to taste
Fresh/dried Parsley to taste
Splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Grab a big pot and put the olive oil in the pan. You’ll need enough so that your first veggies don’t stick but not too much. Add your onions and celery and cook until onions are tender. Then add everything else except the pepper, spices, and parsley. Bring the pot up to a boil and then turn down the heat so that it’s simmering. Because most of your veggies are from the can they are already soft, so you’ll just need to cook it until the potatoes are done enough for you. I would say this will take you about half an hour to 45 minutes. I like to add the spices later on in the cooking process that way all the veggies have had some time to intermingle and you can taste where you’re at and determine what to add.
We like to eat this with fresh Italian bread.
This is sooo easy, great for a quick meal!
Chicken Noodle soup, yep in a packet!
Sliced up carrot
Sliced up spinach
Chopped up broccoli or broccolini
Parmesan cheese
Risoni
Put it all in the pot and boild until pasta is cooked and you’re ready to eat!
I just had it for dinner myself!
Hi: what do you think about cream soups, like cream of asparagus, broccoli, mushroom, or some real nice creamy tomato soup? just some ideas here.
