Anyone got any quick and easy soup recipes?

I like taking Anderson's pea soup and putting Hebrew national hot dogs in it. yummy...





quick is not soup, soup takes awhile to make





Chicken Soup:


take a chicken and cover with water, and put in an onion, and some celery, some carrots, bay leaf, and some garlic. salt and pepper to taste. simmer on low heat for about 2 1/2 hours. Take off heat, cool, put in refrigerator overnight. in morning, skim off chicken fat, and save for another recipe. Then take the chicken out of the pot, de-bone it, and put meat back in pot. heat up to a rolling simmer and add egg noodles. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until noodles are tender... yummy.Anyone got any quick and easy soup recipes?

yeah packet of knor chicken and noodle soup and a tin of heinz tomato soup just heat knor soup then add the tomato soup to thicken it up. and you can even add some cooked pasta shells to make it more filling.
I guess quick is a matter of opinion, this takes about a hour, but it is my favorite:





2lbs Ground chuck


2tbl beef soup mix, not bullion


1 med Onion, chopped


1/2 chopped green pepper, (optional)


1 rib celery, chopped,


1/4 cup barley


1/4 cup wild rice


1 tsp sweet basil


1or 2 bay leaf


salt and pepper to taste


7 cups of water, or more as needed


1/4 cup white rice


1/2 lb small pre-cleaned carrots, quartered, or reg carrots sliced


1 bag frozen mixed vegetables





Brown ground chuck and drain off fat. Add chopped onion, and brown well, add green pepper, celery, basil, bay leaf, beef soup base, barley, wild rice, bring to a boil, turn down to simmer. simmer for 1/2 hour. Add salt and pepper (I start with about 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper not that I measure)


then add carrots, white rice, and mixed veggies, )they don't have to be mixed, they can just be what ever you wish, but a bout equal to a lb bag mixed veggies.


bring back to a light boil, turn down to a simmer, simmer 1/2 hour.





Add more beef soup base if needed, or water if needed


a good measure is 1 tsp beef soup base, to a cup water.


this all depends on choice, if you want more or less in your soup.





I love a little Parmesan cheese on top when I serve. also if you dont have the wild rice use all barley, or all rice, or what ever you like. but the barley and wild rice take a hour to cook and the white rice takes only 1/2 hour.
take various vg - carrot, onion, garlic, peppers, toms.





Fry this all together in a little oil until soft. Add veg stock around one pint for every pound of vg. Add seasoning and herbs. Boil for half an hour. Then blend and serve with bread
Diced potatoes, sliced celery, diced carrots, 1 litre chicken stock, salt , pepper and 1 tea spoon of cornflour in a 2 tbps of water. Boil everything together and season as you like and when the potatoes are soft add the cornflour, mix well then its ready.





You can add shredded boiled chicken if you wish enjoy !!!

Take out chicken and remove the meat


Put back into pot with desired veg and leave to simmer for half and hour - rice added is also lovely.
I make home made pea and ham soup, but it is not quick and easy. A quick and easy version is to buy some pease pudding, a tin of mixed vegetables and mix them together. Add water to thin and bacon which has been cooked previously and heat in the microwave. This will take ten minutes at the most. Enjoy. .
Cook pieces of pumpkin (skin off) in chicken stock, just enough to cover. When soft, mash the pumpkin in the stock. If too watery, you can thicken with cornflour (starch). Add seasonings, maybe some garlic, anything that tickles your fancy for flavour will do. You can throw in bacon, paprika, herbs etc. Hey presto, instant pumpkin soup. Freeze leftovers, then reheat when needed.
OXO cube, water
Pot Noodle
