LITTLE MOMMA'S SIMPLE POTATO SOUP

Little Momma's Simple Potato Soup image

My "Little Momma" has made her share of this soup. If my sissy & I weren't feeling well this is the soup we asked for; not chicken noodle. My Grammy & Momma both made this soup and it is by far the soup I've had the most. I do love it when my Momma makes it but she is in Florida so I decided to make it myself today. I think there...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

7 - 9 c water
6-8 medium potatoes, new red
1/4 medium sweet onion, diced
3 medium carrots, sliced thin or julienned
3-4 medium celery ribs, sliced thin
2 tsp nature's seasonings
1 1/2- 2 c whole milk
4 - 5 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp coffee creamer powder (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

1. Prep all your veggies by slicing and dicing.
2. After peeling and slicing your potatoes rinse them off well in a colander to get off any excess starch that you can.
3. Fill your cooking pot with at least 7 cups of water and then add all your veggies.
4. Place on the stove over medium heat and add your Nature Seasonings. Stir the veggies in the pot and then cover and cook for 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes you'll want to scoop out some veggies and see if they are done. If not, cook covered for just 10 minutes longer. You don't want to over cook as your potatoes will fall apart. Turn down your heat, add your butter and 1 cup of milk, salt & pepper. Taste, see what you think. If it looks like watered down milk, add another 1/2- 1 cup of milk. This is a truly simple soup; nothing fancy. It's just plain veggies in a very healthy broth. Go by your taste and how you want it. Now, you'll also add in the creamer at this point to give more texture if you want.

On rainy days, I often want comfort food-something to warm my belly and my soul! This very easy cabbage soup recipe is something my mother would make for me on days just like this. Her version has a ham hock, but you can use kielbasa instead, or go no-meat, the way I did.

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 cup chopped carrots (from 4 medium carrots, peeled)
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
Handful fresh cherry tomatoes, halved (about 10 small cherry tomatoes)
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
64 ounces vegetable stock (2 quarts) (8 cups), plus more if desired
1 medium head cabbage, cored and chopped (about 1 3/4 pounds)
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 loaf your favorite French bread, sliced on the diagonal
Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
Minced garlic, for topping (optional)
Flaky or crystal sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.

Tips:

- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality canned vegetables. Look for brands that use fresh, ripe vegetables and avoid those that contain added salt or sugar. - If you don't have any canned vegetables on hand, you can use fresh vegetables instead. Just be sure to cook them until they are tender before adding them to the soup. - Feel free to customize the soup to your liking. Add more or less of any ingredient, or swap out vegetables for others that you prefer. - For a thicker soup, mash some of the vegetables before adding them to the pot. - Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
