Homemade ABC Soup :

 

Homemade ABC Soup : 

Today is National homemade soup day. And I am sharing this family recipe. As a homeschho Mom this Soup make a great learning lesson around the Lunch table. 

• 8 Cups of vegetable broth
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 12 oz frozen Mixed vegetable
• 1 Cup of Cubed potatoes
• 1 can diced petite tomatoes
• 1/4 c of Alphabet pasta

1. Pour vegetable broth in a soup pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
2. Add the peeled and diced potatoes.
3. Simmer until the potatoes are all the way cooked through.
4. IMPORTANT for BEST RESULTS – if you add the tomatoes before the potatoes are cooked completely the acid in the tomatoes will stop the potatoes from cooking and turn them hard!
5. Add the frozen veggies and cook until thawed and heated through.
6. Add the diced tomatoes and alphabet pasta.
7. Add the onion and garlic powder.
8. Once the pasta is cooked though remove from the heat, cool slightly and serve!
9. Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge!

Turn this into a learning lesson bye spelling out words in your Soup bowl.

January Soup Month : Potato Chowder

 

Today on my blog I am sharing one of my favorite Soup ? Chowder recipe.

• 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
• ½ cup diced carrots
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup butter
• 2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
• 2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ cup diced celery
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups water, or as needed to cover
• 2 cups milk

Place potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and salt into a large pot. Add water to cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes; do not drain When the vegetables are almost finished, combine milk, butter, and flour in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk constantly until butter melts and mixture is smooth and thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour hot milk mixture into cooked vegetables. Add corn and Cheddar; cook and stir until Cheddar melts, about 3 minutes.

Did You Know??

Chowder is a thick soup prepared with milk or cream, a roux, and seafood or vegetables. Oyster crackers or saltines may accompany chowders as a side item, and cracker pieces may be dropped atop the dish. New England clam chowder is typically made with chopped clams and diced potatoes, in a mixed cream and milk base, often with a small amount of butter. Other common chowders include seafood chowder, which includes fish, clams, and many other types of shellfish; lamb or veal chowder made with barley; corn chowder, which uses corn instead of clams; a wide variety of fish chowders;[1] and potato chowder, which is often made with cheese. Fish, corn and clam chowder are popular in North America, especially New England and Atlantic Canada.:
