Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 large fresh bay leaves
1/4 cup EVOO
3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped or grated
2 carrots, thinly sliced
2 ribs celery with leafy tops, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 leeks, halved and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 parsnips, thinly sliced
2 medium starchy potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 bulb fennel, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bundle of fresh herbs such as parsley, sage, thyme, marjoram or rosemary
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons EVOO
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
4 cups diced stale white peasant-style bread
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • For the creamy winter vegetable soup: Heat the EVOO in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, carrots, celery, leeks, parsnips, potatoes, fennel and squash as you chop them and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Nestle the bay leaves and herb bundle into the vegetables, partially cover and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Pour in the wine and reduce until almost evaporated. Then add the stock, bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium to medium-high heat, and then whisk in the flour 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour the thickened milk mixture into the simmering vegetable soup, stir to combine and simmer a couple of minutes. For the cheesy croutons: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic 1 minute, and then add the bread and toast until golden, stirring occasionally. Transfer to baking sheet and dress with the cheese. Bake to set the cheese and further dry out the croutons, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the herb bundle and bay leaves from the soup and serve with the croutons.

DIXIE STAMPEDE HOMESTYLE CREAM OF VEGETABLE SOUP - AUTHENTIC



Dixie Stampede Homestyle Cream of Vegetable Soup - Authentic image

Are you ready for this? FINALLY! Dolly has revealed her recipe for the YUMMY Dixie Stampede Soup in her cookbook called DOLLY'S DIXIE FIXIN'S. I spent almost $30 just to get the REAL recipe for this soup. There is a less than desirable copycat recipe out on the web. It's just not the same. ENJOY! and leave comments please. :) **Remember, they adapted this recipe for a few servings, not a few thousand servings**UPDATE: I would recommend that you make a white/blonde roux with the butter and flour before add the rest of the ingredients. This will help with the thickening and keep lumps out. It could take a good 15 minutes simmering after adding the half and half to see desired consistency.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 1 Quart, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons margarine (I use salted butter)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon corn syrup
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup finely chopped cooked vegetables (I use diced canned potatoes and canned carrot slices diced very small, Veg-All will work)
1 pint half-and-half cream (I've also tried it with heavy cream for a richer taste, mmm)
chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart sauce pot, melt margarine. Add onion, garlic, and corn syrup. Simmer 1 minute. Do NOT brown.
  • Add flour, white pepper, salt, chicken broth, water, and vegetables. Simmer 3 minutes.
  • Add half-and-half. Simmer until desired consistency. Stir constantly - do NOT bring to boil.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, peas, and corn.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them just until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use chicken broth or water, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Add some herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, basil, garlic, and pepper.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a creamy richness to the soup.

Conclusion:

Cream of vegetable soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and nutritious soup that the whole family will enjoy.
