Winter soup/10 recipes

A scrumptious chicken dish that can easily be made with your cooking sidekick, the crockpot.

Somewhat similar to chili mac and American goulash found in other areas of the country, this American dish is most prevalent in New England.

An easy leftover turkey main dish, that's ready in a flash.

A savory hamburger soup made with cabbage, celery and tomato paste that is bound to be one of your favorite crockpot recipes.

Tastier than anticipated. My fiance was impressed. Good to refrigerate and reheat for lunch. It's better to reheat in the oven rather than the microwave to keep the crispiness of the bread.

We make things "from scratch" a lot so I like things that I can make easily. We doubled the recipe and fought over the leftovers.

This crowd-pleasing, kicked-up casserole uses pantry ingredients and refrigerator staples topped with a refrigerated pie crust and baked until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden.

Excellent! Very authentic rendition of this classic soup. Very fresh and clean tasting with great flavor. It even beats the hot and sour soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

The soup was creamy yet slightly chunky, which was the kind of texture I love. Served it with some homemade croutons, absolutely delicious.

Using fresh Tamarind pods make your own fresh homemade tamarind paste. You can use it in Indian cooking, Thai, Jamaican and Mexican. Add a spoonful to flavor curry, soups or even into meat taco mixes. In India it is used for a soft drink. Sort of like iced tea with an interesting tang or zing.

Shiitake mushrooms, tofu, bok choy and carrots are cooked together with ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce and broth. Tons of fresh and delicious flavor. Yum!

Easy Jack Daniels spiked smokey baked beans. Enriched with sugar and "spice" and everything nice! :)

Butternut Squash Soup with Celery and Carrots recipe

This is one of the best butternut squash casserole I have ever made. There were lots of flavors and textures going on. We made half of the recipe, I added some buttermilk powder into milk to make the buttermilk and used the dried thyme, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It came out cheesy, sweet and tasty, but not too feeling heavy or rich afterwords, definitely a keeper!

A soft yeast dough stuffed with a quick filling of ground beef, cabbage and cheese is reasonably simply and surprisingly addictive. This mid-western Germany classic is perfect for Oktoberfest or any time of year.

This was outstanding. A huge amount of flavor was developed in the slow and low technique using my slow cooker. A classic mostly hands-free make ahead main dish that filled the house with aroma.
