Split Pea Soup

Chilly jacket weather here now. Time for hot soup.
1 cup dry split pea soup
3 cups water
One could use stock but I like less salt and am doing the option with more ingredients that will bring more flavor in.
Bring to a boil and then cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, covered on low, until […]

Chilled Soup and Lentil Curry

( On the Table and Lentils and Soups )

Some parts of this worked. The cold soup made from tomatoes, cucumber, dill, parsley, roasted red peppers, green and yellow onion on hand, blended in a food processer worked wonderfully. So did the brussels sprouts.

Spinach-Stuffed Bavarian Dumplings and Egg Drop Soup

The balls are made from a package of bavarian balls (dried potato dumpling mix) that I supplemented with dried oreganoed bread crumbs. The mix is soaked for 10 minutes.
Palming a little, I shaped a indent for the parmesan mozzarella and spinach fillings.
I made the balls about 2 inches in diameter with stuffing.

One […]
