| Am looking for some good winter soup recipes - preferably to make in bulk and freeze. If anyone has any - esp. pumpkin or potato and leek - and is willing to share i'd be very grateful. The only soup I do at the moment is a basic vege one with the kings soup mix! |

this site had a nice sounding one..
http://www.tararua.net.nz/recipes.php?pid=248 - link or this one 2 large onions clove crushed garlic 1 T olive oil 4 c cut and peeled pumpkin pieces (not Halloween pumpkin but any of the dry, firm pumpkin or squash types e.g. butternut, buttercup, whanga crown, ironbark etc.) 1 t beef or vegetable stock powder 1/4 t nutmeg 1 t salt 1/4 t white pepper water to cover Peel and chop onions. Gently cook with garlic in oil until soft. Add pumpkin pieces and remaining ingredients. Boil for 30 minutes until soft. Blend until creamy in food processor.

Serve piping hot(but do not boil if thinned with dairy products) with crusty bread. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I just made a tomato soup tonight which was really straight forward and made HEAPS...(and was yummy!)
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 3 x cans tomatoes 3 cups (750ml) chicken stock 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2 teaspoons soft brown sugar 1 cup (250mls) cream Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook until very soft and lightly golden, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the tomatoes, stock, tomato paste and sugar to the pan. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat. Simmer the soup, partially covered with a lid, for 20 minutes. Allow the soup to cool a little, then process it in batches in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return the soup to the pan and stir in the cream and reheat gently. Don't let the soup boil once you have added the cream, or it will curdle. We had it with homemade bread - VERY yummy  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Perhaps a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway! Would it be okay to freeze the tomato soup with the cream in it, or would it be best to freeze before and add the soup just before you're planning to eat?? |
