Hi A.,

I like to use www.eatingwell.com as well as www.vegetariantimes.com for recipes. I've also gone to www.foodnetwork.com if I can't find something at the other two. A really easy recipe for squash soup, from Alton Brown, is at foodnetwork.com. The hardest, most consuming thing was to peel the squash, but it was sooooo yummy and extremely fast and easy. On second thought, I'll post the recipe. Most of my favorite recipes do use lots of veggies or tomatoes so I'm not much help there. If you or your friend wanted to share the 'why' of his or her restrictions, I might be able to help you with other recipes. If he/she is recovering from an illness, she really needs fruits and veggies, and lots of them. I am a wellness educator, taking a series of classes taught by a naturopath who has her PhD in nutrition. I have a number of suggestions that might help your friend get the nutrients she needs, without the problems she is facing if she eats those foods right now. Feel free to contact me and we can see if I might help. I look forward to it. Good luck and enjoy the soup. D.

Squash Soup
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Prep Time: 10 min

Cook Time: 40 min
Level: Easy
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
• 6 cups (about 2 large squash) seeded 2-inch wide chunks butternut squash
• Melted butter, for brushing
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper, plus 1/2 teaspoon
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 4 ounces heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Brush the flesh of the squash with a little butter and season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper. On a sheet pan lay the squash flesh side up. Roast for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the flesh is nice and soft.
Scoop the flesh from the skin into a pot and add the stock, honey, and ginger. Bring to a simmer and puree using a stick blender. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a low simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Note: I had peeled and seeded the squash before I read the recipe. So I just cooked the squash in the stock. I used veggie stock and some plain soy/almond milk for the creamy texture to make this totally vegan. I might also use Greek or goats milk yogurt in the future.

Hi A., thats tough without veggies but I'll tell you what I do and maybe you can experiment. I fill a large pot about 1/3 to 1/2 way full of water and boil barley. When it's soft, I add pre-cooked browned hamburger with onion (about a pound, maybe a little less). Then I add 2 packets of powedered onion beef soup mix, one can of corn (not drained) one can of cut green beans (not drained), a can of diced tomatoes, small cut fresh carrots, and after that has boiled for about a 1/2 hour, I add small cut up potatoes and cook for another 20 minutes until they are soft. Also, salt and pepper and sometimes italian spices. You can add or subtract any of the veggies. I have also shreaded fresh green cabbage and thrown it in. My last batch I did was with a family size can of tomato soup instead of the powdered onion soup mix. Also instead of the barley, I have thrown in a 1/2 bag of little pasta like small elbow and cooked it. Everyone that's eaten it loves it, I never seem to have a bad batch and I just throw in whatever I have around. You can also google "soup recipes" and see what comes up...good luck!!!

Soup is very forgiving! You can make a soup out of most anything!

One of my favorites is Potato.

5 med potatoes
3 carrots
1 onion
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp salt (or more to taste)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp. parsley crushed
1 qt vegetable/chicken broth
olive oil

Peel and dice onion and saute onion until golden brown in a medium soup kettle. Peel and dice carrot (pieces like the size of a pea) and add to the onion. Peel and dice potato (larger then carrot, but still on the small side) and add to the pot. Add the broth and seasonings. Boil until potatoes are very tender. Removed half of soup and blend with condensed milk and return to pot. It takes about 20-30 min.

If you want to do different vegetables. I'd suggest steaming a few cups of them, saute an onion, and blend with some milk, adding salt or other seasonings to taste. Cream soups are nutritious and easy to eat!

A.,
My husband had an apendectomy last fall and our neighbor brought him some stracciatella soup from a local Italian restaurant. I found a recipe at cdkitchen.com. and plan on making it myself soon. It's a simple chicken broth recipe with pasta and parmesean.

Good luck to your friend. I hope she's feeling better soon!

Try roasting some veggies...bland ones in the oven for an hour. Then puree in a blender. Put a cup or two of organic veggie broth in a pan, add the puree and simmer until warm. It's really good.

I don't have any recipes as I usually just throw it all into a pot.

I know you mentioned not too many veggies, but not sure why. A trick I use is to puree a can of veggies (usually carrots or green beans) and add to my soup... Makes the broth a little thicker and for the kids they don't even realize the veggies are there.

I make a homemade chicken noodle that is out of this world!

get whatever dark meat chicken is cheap at the grocery store, like a pack of legs.
Boil them in a large pot for an hour or two, with a few chicken bouillion cubes (maybe 5).
At this point I throw them out, they've done their job and I don't like dark meat...but you can remove the meat from the bones if you want and use it in the soup. I put boneless skinless breasts into the pot here and cook them for 20 minutes....take them out, cool them and cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
I mince a medium onion and a few stalks of celery and put this into the pot, with spices such as onion and garlic (powder or salt...doesn't matter) salt and pepper. until it tastes the way you want. cook this until the onion and celery is tender...like 20 minutes...
Throw the chicken back in, and a package of Raemes egg noodles (frozen section) and some parsley
when the noodles are done...the soup is done.

Is this due to any kind of weight loss surgery? I'm only asking because the fat content could make a difference. I would start out with just plain vegetable/chicken/beef broth, plain, and start adding solids to that - egg noodles/cooked rice/lentils, and slowly introduce cooked veggies like celery, carrots, corn, etc. Add any kind of spice that your friend can handle - papricka, chili powder, salt, pepper, etc. You can always make a big batch in the crock pot and save servings in baggies to use later. My favorite website is allrecipes.com - you can search for the type of foods you are looking for, then narrow it down to the ingredients you want or don't want to use.

I tried going to techsoup and could not find any soup recipes. It looks to me that the site is for nonprofits and is a way for them to obtain products. No mention of food or soup anywhere on the site.

If there are soup recipes would someone tell me how to find them, please.
