Here’s a recipe I first made in January of 1998–it quickly became one of my favorites!

I make many soups (such as potato soup or clam chowder, beans, hamburger stew, etc) without following a recipe so, therefore, I don’t have a recipe to submit 🙁
Thanks for the giveaway!

I don’t have a blog, but I DO have what I think is the best soup recipe of all time –
Cream of Corn Soup with lump crab meat
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 ribs celery, diced
1 pound frozen corn
1/2 cup flour
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken stock or clam juice
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 quart half-n-half
1 teaspoon dry thyme
5 bay leaves
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 pound lump crab meat, shells removed
1/8 cup chopped parsley
Melt 1/2 cup butter in large stockpot over low heat. Add onions and celery and saute until onions are tender. Add corn and saute until tender.
Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine. Stir continuously while adding stock, cream, half-n-half, thyme, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, salt, and white pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over low heat. Add crabmeat and stir until warm. Place equal portions of crab meat in bottoms of serving bowls and cover with hot soup.

no blog but heres my recipe for stuffed pepper soup (just as good if not better than stuffed peppers, leftovers also taste great)
1 lb ground sirloin
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped
2 cans diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano
2 cans tomato sauce
1 can chicken stock
1 cup instant rice
worchestshire sauce to taste
In large pot, saute ground sirloin till browned, drain excess fat. Add onion and green peppers and cook on medium high heat till onion almost translucent. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and chicken stock, and worchestershire sauce to taste (if you don’t like it,it’s not imperative) bring to a boil, then simmer for 25 -45 minutes until peppers tender. While simmering prepare instant rice. After peppers softened to taste, add rice and let flavors meld together on low for about 5 minutes. Serve and garnish with parmesan if desired.
This keeps and reheats very well.

In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the bacon and olive oil until the bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions and butter to the fat, and cook until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the flour, salt and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and potatoes, bring to boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add the corn to the soup. Then add the half & half and the cheese. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with the bacon spooned on top.

This may not sound like an exciting soup- but it is simple, spicy, and sweet. It is named after a dear friends late mother, who perfected it during the long Iowa summers. She would routinely make this after walking through her garden picking vegetables. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

I don’t have a blog but here is my delicious winter cheddar and broccoli soup recipe. Good luck to everyone that has entered!
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon pink rock salt
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons of good quality extra virgin olive oil
2 small shallot, chopped finely
2 medium cloves garlic, chopped finely
1 small red onion, chopped finely
1 large potato, peeled and cut into cubes (to make about 1.5 cups)
1 teaspoon chives, chopped finely
3.5 cups vegetable broth
1 large broccoli, chopped into small florets (to make about 2.5 cups)
3 cups grated tasty cheddar (plus 0.25 cups for garnish)
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Pour olive oil into a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir in shallots, red onion and salt, and saute for 3 minutes.
Stir in the potatoes and cover and cook for about 5 minutes (or until potatoes are soft). Stir in the garlic, paprika and broth, and bring to a boil (and the potatoes are tender). Add broccoli and simmer (until broccoli is tender).
Remove the soup from heat and puree with blender (watch out, it’s hot!). Add the cheddar to blender slowly, along with the mustard. Depending on how you like your soup, add more broth if you like thinner.
Serve in a deep bowl. Add cheddar and chives to garnish. For something extra, toast some crusty bread with butter and chop roughly for some yummy croutons.
Serves 4.
