VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP - PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE- BILL KNAPP'S



Vegetable Beef Soup - Pressure Cooker Recipe- Bill Knapp's image

One of my memories of going to Bill Knapp's was looking forward to having a bowl of their delicious vegetable soup. This recipe is not spot on, but I feel it's close, but nevertheless satisfying. I use a pressure cooker when preparing this recipe. The beef nearly melts in your mouth and from start to finish in about an hour. I got the recipe from a newspaper article, I made a couple of minor changes to the recipe and use the pressure cooking method instead of conventional method.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 55m

Yield 4 quarts, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck steaks, cut into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch cubes, trim fat
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup carrot, sliced
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium potato, cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
6 teaspoons beef base
8 cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In 5 or 6 quart pressure cooker brown beef on all sides in oil.
  • Stir in all ingredients EXCEPT tomatoes.
  • Lock lid on pressure cooker and cook on high until the weight begins to "jiggle".
  • Lower heat to a slow consistent "jiggle" and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let pressure release conventionally.
  • Stir in tomatoes and return to stove and simmer an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • I used a 5 qt pressure cooker at 12 pounds of pressure for this recipe.

VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP - BASIC RECIPE



Vegetable Beef Soup - Basic Recipe image

My mother never made soup from scratch so I never learned how. After trying a number of soup recipes from Zaar, I came up with this recipe as a guideline for a basic veggie beef soup. I often throw in whatever veggies I have around so the soup is never exactly the same two times running; however, soup-making isn't an exact science as is baking. I'm posting the recipe so that I can give it out easily; evidently, folks seem to really like it!

Provided by Impera_Magna

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground round
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrot
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups tomato juice or 3 cups v 8 vegetable juice
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
2 1/2 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, drained
3 cups vegetables, of choice (yellow corn, shoe-peg corn, lima or butter beans, green peas, large potato, peeled and diced, whatev)
1 1/2 tablespoons parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Brown meat in large pot along w/ onions, celery, and carrots.
  • Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30-45 mins til veggies and barley are done.
  • Note #1: I've been adding ½ cup pearl barley to the soup, which will be done in the amount of simmering time. Quick barley takes only 10 minutes to cook so you could add later.
  • Note #2: I've found that adding pasta, while good at first, it continues to absorb the soup liquid and get really big and the soup becomes more like a stew. If you'd like noodles, I would cook them separately and add them to the bowl just before ladling in the soup.
  • Note #3: You could also add rice, if you would like.

CROCK POT LENTIL VEGETABLE BARLEY SOUP RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Crock Pot Lentil Vegetable Barley Soup Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by DreiFromBK

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 large onion or one small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 medium summer squash (or zucchini), halved lengthwise and sliced thinly
1 C carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 C red lentils
1/2 C yellow split peas
1/2 C barley
1 can diced tomatoes
3 C vegetable broth (or chicken or beef), plus ~2 C extra water
1/2 t salt
1/2 t sugar
1/4 t black pepper
fresh or dried basil to top (optional)

Steps:

  • As with all crock pot recipes, this is a breeze to put together. Dice and layer all the veggies, and top with the grains, liquids and the spices (except the basil). The order I used was: onions and bell peppers, squash and carrots, lentils, peas, and barley, diced tomatoes and broth, salt, pepper, sugar, and finally the extra water. Set the crock pot on low for eight hours or on high for four hours. The lentils, peas, and barley will absorb a lot of water, so you may need to add even more extra (unless you like a nice thick soup like I do-then you will be very pleased when you arrive home from class!). Top with a sprinkle of basil and some pepper and enjoy!

PROVENCAL VEGETABLE SOUP: SOUPE AU PISTOU RECIPE



PROVENCAL VEGETABLE SOUP: SOUPE AU PISTOU RECIPE image

Number Of Ingredients 24

Show: Wolfgang Puck's Cooking Class
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium leeks, dark green parts trimmed and discarded, light green and white parts thoroughly washed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
8 cups chicken stock
Salt
1 teaspoon whole black and white peppercorns
4 small sprigs fresh thyme
4 small sprigs fresh parsley
12 green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 medium yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pistou:
6 medium garlic cloves, peeled
6 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
4 to 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
30 fresh basil leaves, washed and dried
Goat Cheese Croutons:
6 to 8 slices French bread, about 1/4-inch thick
Olive oil
6 to 8 ounces fresh creamy goat cheese

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and saute just until they start to turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute about 1 minute more. Add the carrots and celery and continue sauteing until the vegetables deepen in color but have not yet begun to brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Pour the stock into the pan, bring it to a boil, and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt. Tie the peppercorns, thyme, and parsley in a square of cheesecloth, securing it with kitchen string. Add this bouquet garni to the pan. Stir in the beans, zucchini, summer squash, and tomato. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Make the Goat Cheese Croutons: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the bread slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and turn on the broiler. Spread 1 side of each crouton with goat cheese and put it back on the baking sheet. Broil until the cheese is warm and slightly bubbly, about 3 minutes. Set aside. When the soup is ready, stir the remaining pistou into the saucepan, ladling some of the hot broth into the blender or processor bowl to swirl and rinse any pesto clinging inside into the pan. Remove and discard the bouquet garni. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt. Ladle the soup into individual heated serving bowls. Float a crouton in the center of each bowl. With a spoon, drizzle a little more pistou over the crouton and soup in each bowl. Serve immediately, passing more pistou alongside for each person to add, to taste.

Add the vegetables, along with the chili and ginger, and cover with the stock, (you may need a little extra stock depending on the size and shape of your saucepan), ideally all your vegetables should be totally immersed with about 2 inches extra stock. Simmer the soup until the vegetables are fully cooked.
