this is an easy way we make soups
2 soup mix packets-ie manishvitz soup mixes
onions, chopped
any vegis you want-sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, celery etc. cut into small chunks
put e/t in a large pot with room to spare. bring to a boil and then simmer for awhile till all beans/lentils/barley/vegis are cooked.
also freezes well
liquid gold chicken soup
make your chicken soup as usual, but leave on the stove from Thursday night till Friday morning. skim off all floaties in the morning. we usually leave out the zucchinis and sweet potatoes, then reboil the soup for an hour before shabbos and add them in then
easy onion soup
a few large onions-Spanish or Texas sweet are best
cut in either chunks or slices, depending how you like it. saute in oil until tender. it may take a while depending how many onions you used. add water (for more oniony soup add less water. for more soup and less onion, add more water)
boil for a bit then add salt, pepper, garlic powder, tamari, soy sauce, onion soup mix, or what ever spice you like. simmer until the onions are soft and limp. spice as needed
serve piping hot with shredded cheese and garlic bread. can be frozen
