Gourmet Potato Soup with Croutons

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:07:50 GMT

During the long Wisconsin winters, my family "lives on" homemade soups because they are economical and freeze well. And, as with most soups, this one is even better the next day.

Italian Zucchini Soup

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:03:19 GMT

This recipe was given to me by my neighbor. Nice and simple, it's a good way to use a lot of your zucchini and other garden vegetables. It freezes well and is great to have on hand on a cold winter day.

New England Fish Chowder

This is an old recipe handed down through the years. It always tasted best when made by a friend of mine who was a fisherman. There was nothing quite like sitting down with friends on a cold snowy night, enjoying this hot chowder, fresh biscuits and good conversation.

I make this good hearty soup with chunks of beef often during fall and winter. The cabbage-sauerkraut is a nice combination and provides an interesting texture.

Quick Zesty Chili

This chili always has everyone coming back for seconds—that's because I use fresh tomatoes in the recipe. I've been married 31 years and our two grown children still like to come home to eat "Mom's cooking"!

Hearty and full of flavor, this Italian-style soup freezes well if you want to make it ahead or have leftovers to save for another day.—Michelle Goggins, Greendale, Wisconsin

Sausage Corn Chowder

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:14:26 GMT

This hearty soup is a meal in itself when served with a salad and bread. For a spicier flavor, I sometimes substitute Mexicorn for the whole kernel corn.

Summer Soup

An overabundant garden led to this recipe! As the vegetable crop changes with the seasons, the soup can too— try using cauliflower, broccoli or garden-fresh peas.

Taco Soup

If you need a meal in a hurry, this fast recipe fills the bill! When I have time, I like to make "edible bowls" of bread to serve the soup in— it makes for a unique presentation and a hearty main dish!

Tomato Mushroom Soup

This soup recipe came about while I was experimenting with the goodies from my garden...I serve it often to my family, especially in the winter. We live in the country and raise horses, and I just love looking out my kitchen window at these fine animals as I cook!

Tomato Leek Soup

This recipe was given to me years ago from a friend in Australia. We're a family that loves soup, and this recipe is one of our favorites.

Tomato Vegetable Soup

Gardening is one of my many hobbies and this recipe is a great way to use fresh tomatoes. It makes a wonderful light meal, served with crackers or herb-flavored croutons.

Makeover Creamy Seafood Soup

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:00:17 GMT

This delicious soup has only half the cholesterol, a fourth of the fat and half the calories of the original recipe from Mildred Fasig of Stephens City, Virginia . Best of all, our entire taste panel agreed that this makeover has an even richer and creamier texture and taste!

Zucchini Bisque

I like to serve this soup as a first course for special dinners. It is nice and light, pretty in color and very appetizing with its blend of flavors.

I received this recipe from my daughter Janet. It's a wonderful way to enjoy fall's bounty...and it freezes well, too.—Irene Dee, Ogilvie, Minnesota
