Winter soup/30 recipes

Grapefruit, orange and watercress create this refreshing and light salad. Great to serve before or after any heavier fat laden meal to clean the palate. Also good to incorporate some fall and winter fruit.

Perfect for a fall or winter morning, a great way to use up any leftover pumpkin from pumpkin pie.

Homemade Tomato Soup I recipe

It was very tasty and I also used this as a base for squash soup with maple-apple flavored chicken sausage as part of a new recipe

Nothing is better than a warm pumpkin soup at your Thanksgiving menu.

Bacon, beer and cheese turned into decadent soup.

"Kohlrouladen" used to be a staple on the menu for regular people in Germany during winter time. The relatively long preparation and cooking time pays out, because it can be easily reheated over a couple of days and gets even better and tastier then. Fried potatoes complete the picture, but you can cook the potatoes also in the pot with the sauce, if there is space left. This recipe can be varied in many ways, be it the stuffing (ground meat here), or the sauce. The recipe is as traditional as it can be; the ingredients are adjusted to availability in North America (like Savoy cabbage in lieu of "Weisskohl", bacon to replace "Speckwuerfel"). For sure the ground meat can vary depending on preferences or diets - I bet quite often in the "good old times " regular people did not exactly know what's in the ground meat they got from the butcher - at least it was some meat, for most of the families only once a week.

My version of a low fat but cheesy vegetable bake for your slow cooker (CrockPot).

A grilled cheese that is reminiscent of French Onion soup.

Cream of Pumpkin Soup recipe

Instead of tortellini soup, turn that tortellini into a filling chicken tortellini casserole. A baked tortellini al forno!

A very simple recipe for a classic, which helps you to get warm in the winter (ok, I mean when it is getting 4° Celsius in the night in Southern California). The number of servings is accurate when you have it as a meal - as a starter it should serve way more people. I did not list any spices, as I usually have self made chicken broth which is already pretty tasty and spicy, sweetness comes from the onions and the white wine balances it. For bread and cheese - don't think about any fancy, old dry bread is good and any cheese which melts. The onions are king when it comes to taste. Ovenproof crock bowls are very nice for final preparation and serving the soup.
