Asparagus Soup 2 lbs Asparagus 2 Tbs Butter 1 1/2 cups Leeks, sliced 5 cups Chicken Broth, --or-- (5 to 6) A Combination Of Broth And Water 1/2 cup Light Cream Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper Lemon Juice, (optional)

Peel the asparagus. Insert a sharp paring knife under the skin at the base and work it up toward the tip, making the cut shallower as the skin becomes thinner. Taper the cut off completely about 2 - 3 inches below the tip. You can also use a vegetable peeler. Cut 1 1/2 inches off the top of each asparagus stalk. Blanch these tip pieces in a pot of boiling water until they are just tender. Immediately drain them and run them under cold water to stop the cooking action. Cut the pieces in thin diagonal slices and set aside for garnish. Chop the remaining raw asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the butter in a 4-quart pot and add the leeks. Cook, stirring, for - 4 minutes, or until the leeks are slightly wilted. Stir the raw asparagus pieces into the leeks and add 5 cups of broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and cook gently, partially covered, for 20 minutes, or until the asparagus slices are completely tender and soft. Transfer the mixture in batches to a food processor or food mill and puree. Return the puree to the pot, stir in the cream, and add more broth, if desired, to thin it a little. Add the asparagus slices and reheat. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and a few drops of fresh lemon juice, if you like

Add the ginger and scallion knots. Bring to a boil and, using a strainer, skim off the froth. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 hours. Strain the stock, discarding the chicken, pork, ginger, and scallions; add the wine or sherry and return to a boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Refrigerate the stock when cool. It will keep for up to 4-5 days. Alternatively, it can be frozen in small containers and defrosted when required.

Bring beer and chicken stock to a boil over moderate heat. Simmer for 25 minutes. Beat egg yolks until thick and pale yellow. Beat in cream.

Black Bean Soup 2 cups black turtle soup beans 1 cup onion, coarsely chopped 1 cup celery with leaves, coarsely chopped 1 medium carrot, chopped 1 bay leaf 1 pinch thyme 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce 2 1/2 quarts water 3 smoked ham hocks 1 cup chicken stock 1 dash salt, to taste 1 dash crushed peppercorns, to taste 1/4 cup Dry Sack Sherry

CHEF'S NOTE: In place of the smoked ham hocks, you may substitute 8 ounces lean, diced salt pork or 1 pound cooked, diced bacon. In place of the chicken stock, you may substitute an appropriate amount of chicken base or prepared bouillon cubes. STEP ONE: Wash beans in cold water and transfer to soup pot. Add all other ingredients except salt, pepper, and sherry. Simmer at least three hours or until a bean will crush easily. CHEF'S NOTE: An optional method of preparing this soup that we do not use includes this step: Remove the bay leaf and ham hocks, and puree beans in a food mill or sieve. STEP TWO: Return to heat and add salt, pepper, and sherry. Adjust the consistency to your preference. * If too thin, add a little roux made of equal parts butter and flour. Stir over heat until rich and creamy. * If too thick, add a small amount of chicken stock. To serve, sprinkle with grated cooked egg, or thin, sliced raw onion and lace all over with Dry Sack Sherry. Top with a dollop of sour cream.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup 1 Head Broccoli 1 1/2 cups Chicken Broth 1 1/2 cups Milk 1/2 cup Ham, chopped 1/8 tsp Pepper 1 1/2 cups Cheddar Cheese, Shredded 2 Tbs Butter

Cut broccoli into bit size pieces and boil in chicken broth. Simmer until done. Add milk and bring almost to a boil, then stir in cheese

Brown Stock 5 gallons Water 10 lb Beef Bones, sawn 10 lb Veal Bones, sawn 5 lb Chicken Backs, or feet 1/2 Celery Chopped 1 Leek, chopped 2 Onions, chopped 2 lb Carrot, chopped 3 oz Tomato Paste 1 Head Garlic, crushed 1 Ham Hock, sawn 1/2 Bunch Parsley Stems 5 Bay Leaves 1 Tbs Peppercorns, crushed 1/2 Tbs Thyme Leaf 2 cups Red Wine

Blanch the bones by placing on a bed of Mirepoix in a roast pan. Add all ingredients but water. Roast in a 350 degree F oven until well browned. Do not let anything burn. Baste with red wine. Bring to the boil, then simmer for up to 18 hours, with skimming to remove any scum that rises. Scald clean containers, and strain stock into each, seeing some fat into each to act as a protective cap. Cover with saran and cool. This will keep at least a week, but should be part of the regular weekly Mise en place. Excess should be frozen or reduced for glac d'viand, a 10-1 reduction. The fat from the top is nice to use for making brown roux, as it has just the right color and flavor. NOTES: These recipes are for 5 gallons, but you can cut them in half. It hardly pays to make less than 10 quarts, but if space is a factor, reduce the stock by boiling to half its original volume. The flavors will be more pronounced, as will any errors introduced. Preparation Time: 24:00

Butternut Squash Soup 1 large butternut squash 6 whole cloves 2 cinnamon sticks 6 allspice berries 1 pint light cream 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup maple syrup ground cinnamon ground nutmeg

Peel, seed, and cube squash. In a large soup pot, place squash with enough water to cover. Tie cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice berries in a cheesecloth bag and add bag to pot. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes. Remove spice bag. Drain squash, reserving liquid. Return cooked squash to pot and mash. (For a smoother soup, squash may be pureed in blender or food processor before returning to pot.) Stir in creams and maple syrup. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. Season with cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired. Thin with reserved liquid, if necessary. Cook 15 minutes more. Serve hot. Serves 8

13

Cabbage Soup 1 Head red cabbage, bite-size 3 medium Onions, coarse-chopped 8 oz Raisins 1/2 cup Brown rice, uncooked 1 can Whole tomatoes (15 oz. or So ) 1 large Can tomato paste 1 each Splash of vinegar 1 each Lots of water

Put cabbage, onions, raisins, and rice in crock pot; add water to cover generously (tough to do since the cabbage floats :-) Cook on highest setting for a few hours, until the cabbage is faded and the water is bright purple. Add tomatoes and vinegar. Finish cooking on lowest cooking setting.

Cafe Cartier's Cream of Tomato Soup 2 tsp butter 1 cup onion, finely chopped 8 oz fresh mushroom, sliced 2 tsp flour 1 15 oz ca whole, peeled tomatoes 1 cup hot water 1 17 oz ca tomato sauce 2 beef bouillon cubes, dissolved in 1/4 cup 1/2 tsp white pepper 1 tsp sugar 1 pint heavy cream

Carl's Sick Soup 4 cups Water 4 cups Chicken Broth 3 Tbs Minced Green Onion 1/2 tsp Coarse Ground Black Pepper 1 Palmful Fresh Parsely 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut in tiny pieces 6 Large Carrots, sliced 1 Can Unsalted Green Beans, Undrained, --or-- 1 lb Fresh Green Beans 2 cups Rice, --Or-- 1 lb Angel Hair Pasta

Start this recipe a day in advance by boiling the chicken pieces in the cups of water with the green onion, black pepper, and parsely. Put it the refrigerator overnight and the next day scoop the fat off the top. The next day, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add the carrots. Boil for 10 minutes or so. Dump in the stock and chicken from the day before and the green beans and bring back to a boil. The next part of the cooking takes 20 minutes: For rice -- Add the rice and cook according to rice directions, about 20 minutes for white rice (I've never used brown rice in this). For dry angel hair -- dump it in at such a time as the 20 minutes is up at the same time the angel hair's done to your liking. For fresh angel hair from the refrigerated section at the grocery -- put it in 3-4 minutes before the 20 minutes is up. Don't overcook the angel hair!! I try to get the pasta to be al dente, although sometimes the wine makes me forget!! You may want to experiment with spices because without salt, this recipe can be somewhat bland. One normal soup ladel full of this soup is somewhere around 300 calories. I forget the actual calorie count of the individual ingredients, but I averaged them out from the counts given in a book I have. I do only one ladel. This stuff freezes well and makes great lunches.

24

Chili Bean Soup 500 g pink, red, or pinto beans 4 liter boiling water 5 ml garlic salt 5 ml onion salt 1 ml thyme 1 ml marjoram 300 ml beef or chicken broth 500 g stewed tomatoes 50 ml chili powder (or 200 to 300 ml green chil

Rinse and wash beans. Soak using either slow soak or quick soak. For slow soak, submerge beans in 1.5 l of cold water salted to taste and soak 6-8 hours or overnight, unrefrigerated. For quick soak, submerge beans in 1.5 to 2 l of hot water salted to taste. Bring to a boil, boil 3 minutes, remove from heat, and soak 1 hour. Whichever method you choose, make sure you use a pot large enough to let the beans expand 2 1/2 times, and drain and rinse the beans after soaking. Put the beans in a large pot. Add boiling water, garlic, onion, salt, thyme, and marjoram. Cover and simmer until the beans are tender (2 1/2 to 3 hours). Don't let beans boil dry. Add hot water as needed. Spoon out 3 cups of the cooked beans to use another day in another way. Mash the rest of the beans with their liquid. Add remaining ingredients, plus 250 ml of hot water. Heat at least 10 minutes to blend flavors. Author's Notes: I'm not sure why the recipe doesn't call for you to cook a smaller quantity of beans, rather than spooning out the cooked beans. The pamphlet says that you can make the excess beans into a salad by covering them with French dressing and refrigerating. I think they're trying to sell more beans. Chili powder is a spice from Texas and Mexico consisting mainly of ground dried chili peppers. Green chili salsa is a Mexican condiment made from hot green chilies, onions, vinegar, salt, and other ingredients. The slow soak method gives beans a better texture. Since these beans will be mashed, it won't make much difference, unless you're concerned about those 3 extra cups of cooked beans you will make into a salad. Serves 5

Heat broth in pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add garlic, stirring continually, adding more water if necessary to keep from burning. After a minute or two, add leeks and continue cooking, still stirring for another minute. Add the carrots, celery, mushrooms, lentils, boiling water, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes. Lock lid in place. Over high heat, bring to a high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 7 minutes. Allow the pressure to come down naturally or use a quick-release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. If the lentils are not quite tender, either return to high pressure for a few more minutes or replace (but do not lock) the lid and simmer until the lentils are done.

Garlic Soup 1 head garlic -, smashed and peeled 4 cups chicken broth 2 Medium onions -, peeled and sliced cardamom (whole) some other herbs (your choice) 4 eggs -, separated olive oil butter 1 lime

Melt about 1 tbsp. butter in a big frying pan. When it quits foaming, add a tbsp. of olive oil. Throw in the garlic and onion. Fry gently, being careful not to allow garlic to brown. Toss in the herbs, too. Meanwhile, heat the chicken broth in a pot. Throw in 10-20 cardamoms. When the garlic and onions are well cooked, toss them into the chicken broth, using a bit of the broth to deglaze the frying pan. Let all this boil for maybe a half hour. Then remove the onions and garlic with a strainer, and then press them through the strainer and add back to the broth. Now for the parts that make it unique and good. Whisk about a tbsp. or two of olive oil into the yolks, and add the mixture to the soup. This gives it a ``creamy'' texture. (The soup should be barely boiling here - it is delicate.) Add the juice of the lime. Add a little water to the whites and mix them well. Just before you serve the soup swirl it quickly and add the whites in a thin stream.

Peel the cloves, and, in a 2 qt. sauce pan, saute the garlic for about 15 minutes over low heat in the butter and 1 Tb. of olive oil, turning often so as to avoid browning. Pour in chicken stock and raise the heat to bring it to a boil. Cover the pan loosely and lower the heat. Simmer about 20 minutes. In a small bowl beat the egg yolks until they thicken. Add the oil while beating until you get a thick mayonnaise. Stir a couple teaspoons of soup into the mayonnaise, and then add the soup-mayo mixture to the soup, stirring all the while. Heat until not quite boiling. Now pour the soup through a sieve into heated tureen. Mash the garlic through the sieve, perhaps saving a few cloves to put in whole. Add the salt, cayenne and nutmeg. Stir until completely blended. Serve over the bread, garnished with parsley.

Soup Pho 10 lb Beef Bones 1 In Fresh Ginger Root 5 Sm Shallots 2 Star Anise Seeds 1 1/2 Gal Water 1 Pkg Rice Noodles (Banh Pho) 1 tsp Salt Nuoc Mam (Fish Sauce) Rock Sugar, (see note 1) Fresh Basil Leaves Green Onions, chopped Fresh Cilantro, chopped Fresh Bean Sprouts, (optional) Fresh Lemon, (optional) Fresh Jalapeno, (optional)

For the Broth: Submerge the bones in hot tap water and bring to boil, then discard this first "broth" so that the "pho" final broth would be nice and "clear" and not muddy looking. Now for the real broth, add gallons of water and 1 tsp. salt and bring to boil. While waiting for boiling point, add these: Lightly charbroil the ginger root and shallots over open flames on your stove. For the ginger, roast until you can easily peel the skin, about 3 min. Peel off the out skin. Add to the broth. For the onions, charbroil until the outer skin layer are burnt, but don't over do it, about 3 min. Lightly roast the auiseeds for about 1-2 min. in a pan. Add all of these to the broth. Add the sugar (optional). When the water boils, lower the heat and simmer for about 6 hrs. When you are ready to eat: For the rice noodles preparation, boil some water in a pot. Put the amount of rice noodles you want in a strainer (the kind with a handle, and small enough to fit in the pot you're using.) and submerge it in the boiling water for a few seconds and quickly take it out!! The timing is important for a good rice noodle. You don't want to overcook the rice noodle for too long ( even 15 sec. can be too long!!) and have soggy noodles! Just dip the noodles in the boiling water and lift it out (about sec., or just done) quickly and put it in your bowl. If you have a lot of broth and only wants to make one or two servings, take out enough broth you want and bring it to a boil in another pot. Dip in the amount of sliced beef

115

you want, just enough to cook the meat, depends on how well done you want it. Put the cooked meat into your bowl of rice noodle and add enough broth to submerge them. Then add the green onions & cilantro to garnish. Add fish sauce to taste, if needed. Usually the broth is good w/out any extra salt or fish sauce. Then garnish with fresh basil leaves and/or bean sprouts (a handful)if you like. I love to squeeze a slice of fresh lemon and a bit of red hot pepper (or jalapeno) to taste. This is optional. If you're using hot red pepper, becareful! It can too very hot, depending your your taste buds tolerance!!

Start early (at least 4-5 hours) so it can cook all day. In a large soup kettle, cover peas with 2 quarts cold water. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand. Add all other ingredients. Leave soup to simmer on low heat, don't boil, for -4 hours Stir occassionally. When peas are tender, run 1/3 to /2 of soup through blender. Leave other part of soup as it is.

White Stock 5 gallons Water 10 lb Beef Bones, sawn 10 lb Veal Bones, sawn 5 lb Chicken Backs, or feet 1/2 Celery Stalk, chopped 1 Leek, chopped 2 Onions, chopped 1/2 Bunch Parsley Stems 5 Bay Leaves 1 Tbs Peppercorns, crushed 1/2 Tbs Thyme Leaf

Blanch the bones by covering with cold water and bringing to the boil. Discard water and rinse bones. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for up to 18 hours, with skimming to remove any scum that rises. Scald clean containers, and strain stock into each, seeing some fat into each to act as a protective cap. Cover with saran and cool. This will keep at least a week, but should be part of the regular weekly Mise en place. Excess should be frozen or reduced for glace d'viand, a 10-1 reduction. NOTES: These recipes are for 5 gallons, but you can cut them in half. It hardly pays to make less than 10 quarts, but if space is a factor, reduce the stock by boiling to half its original volume. The flavors will be more pronounced, as will any errors introduced. Preparation Time: 18:00

Blanch the bones by covering with cold water and bringing to the boil. Discard water and rinse bones. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for up to 18 hours, with skimming to remove any scum that rises. Scald clean containers,and strain stock into each, seeing some fat into each to act as a protective cap. Cover with saran and cool. This will keep at least a week, but should be part of the regular weekly Mise en place. Excess should be frozen or reduced for glac d'viand, a 10-1 reduction. NOTES: These recipes are for 5 gallons, but you can cut them in half. It hardly pays to make less than 10 quarts, but if space is a factor, reduce the stock by boiling to half its original volume. The flavors will be more pronounced, as will any errors introduced. Preparation Time: 12:00
