Lone Star Black Bean Soup

Posted by: Maddymoo

4 (15 oz.) Cans Bush's Black Beans, undrained
1/2 Cup Diced Red Onion
2 Tablespoons Chopped Pickled Jalapeno Slices
2 teaspoons Sugar
2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon Chili Powder
6 Tablespoons Fat Free Sour Cream

Pour the beans along with the liquid into a large saucepan. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered for about 1 hour stirring occasionally. If the soup is too thick, you can add some water to thin it to your liking. Serve each bowl of soup with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and an additional jalapeno slice placed in the center of the soup.

*Serving size is approximate depending on how much water you add. You should have at least 1 cup of soup per serving and possibly more.

Curried pumpkin soup recipe 1997

Jilly2 — Mon, 27 Oct 2003 20:33:44 GMT

Page 45 of Oct./Nov '97 issue has a recipe for curried pumpkin soup...at least according to the recipe index for that year. I have the Annual Recipes book for 1997 and got rid of the '97 issues last year to save space. I cannot find it in the book and I'd really like the recipe if someone can help me!

7-up lemon Jello with sliced banana recipe?

dianefromderby — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:32:26 GMT

I was at a funeral luncheon where I chose an odd-looking, yellowish banana-Jello dessert. It seemed to have mini marshmallows in it. It had some sort of yummy, creamy topping. My brother-in-law told me "Mom used to make something like this years ago. It has 7-Up in it."

Other people told me it is "standard funeral-luncheon fare." For 45+ years, I've been missing this delicacy!

Do you have a recipe to share for this incredibly yummy creation?

Looking for lost slow cooker potato soup recipe

spree10 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:30:19 GMT

Ahhh! In a move I seem to have lost my favorite potato soup recipe! I've searched the net but I can't seem to find it so I'm hoping someone here will have the recipe or the book/magazine it came in and will be able to find it for me.

I still have the book that I found the recipe in originally but I tore this recipe out. It is an older Taste of Home's Slow Cooker Recipe cards magazine/book (its one of those smaller books you see at the checkout line at the grocery store). The table of contents page says 2003 REiman Media Group inc if that helps? It says "Photo of Every Recipe" and "Entrees, Soups, Sides & More" on the front. Along with a picture of lasagna and what looks to be bread pudding.

The recipe was on page 21 (first page of the soups section. I remember that it had potatos, carrots, onions and broth and I think in the last hour you added milk - I'm not sure but I think it was a can of condensed milk?

Thank you for your help!!! Now that I can't find the recipe I of course am starving for this soup!

Ham & Cabbage Soup
Posted by: ck1mom
In 40 years of working in restaurants as a cook, waitress, and bartender, I found that my favorite thing to fix was soup. I guess the one customers liked best was one I made up

2 cups of Diced ham
2 potatoes peeled and diced
2 Carrots diced
2 celery diced
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 head cabbage, sliced thin
2 cans chicken broth or bullion
1/2 tsp basil
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp garlic minced or to taste
1/2 black pepper

Put every thing in pot except cabbage and salt. Cook until veggies are cook through. Add Cabbage and cook until just tender. You may have to add more water or chicken stock.
I use to make this for a soup of the days and my boss wouldn't let me make it except every 2 week. people were coming in and just ordering soup!

Rec. Garlic Lentil Soup

rosiewny — Fri, 21 Jan 2005 16:13:33 GMT

Garlic Lentil Soup

2 1/3 Cups Dried Lentils
8 Cups Water
7 Chicken Bouillon
2 Yellow Onions
1 Cup Sliced Mushrooms
1 Cup Celery
10 Cloves Garlic
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Pinch of Lemon Pepper
2 Bay Leaves

Start with 2 1/3 cups of dried lentils that have been
soaked in water
overnight. Soaking them allows them to cook faster. *
Then add about 8
cups of water and about 6 to 7 chicken bouillon cubes.
Bring this to a
slow boil for about 40 minutes.

Prepare the sauté while the lentils are cooking. This
consists of 2
yellow onions chopped, about a cup of sliced mushrooms,
a cup of celery,
and a cup of garlic-about 10 cloves. To prepare the
garlic, peel the skins *
from the cloves and crush them with the blade of a
knife before adding them to
the sauté.

Sauté these ingredients with about 3 tablespoons of
olive oil for 10
minutes at a medium heat. Once the onions are soft, add
the entire mixture to
the lentils.
As a finishing touch, add some lemon pepper, salt, and
a couple of bay
leaves.
This recipe makes enough to serve 8-10 people

I don`t soak the lentils overnight.
I crush the garlic cloves with the skins on with the flat side of the knife blade.The skins will come off easily.

Desperately Want to Find This Creamy Balsamic Recipe!!

rawiswarden — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:11:44 GMT

My grandparents would always buy this certain salad from Wal-Mart when I would visit: (http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/food/fresh-n-easy/creamy-balsamic-salad/)

The dressing is simply amazing. When Wal-Mart stopped selling the salad suddenly, we were so upset. Over the course of four years, I kept the labels of the salad to try to find the recipe using the ingredients. But now that they don't sell it, I am searching frantically for it without any result. These are the ingredients listed (from start to finish)

Soybean Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Water, Dijon Mustard, Sugar, White Wine, Olive Oil, Salt, Lemon Juice Concentrate, spices

The dressing was a light yellow color, so I am under the impression they either used enough soybean oil to dilute the balsamic or they used white balsamic.

Any help finding a recipe that tastes like this would be much appreciated!

Desperately Seeking Balsamic Salad Dressing recipe!

LeslieAK — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:07:02 GMT

I was at my high school reunion and had the most fabulous salad dressing! It was unlike any I've ever seen. Of course, it was a catered affair, and I believe it was 'homemade.' By the time I thought about it, the caterers had left (naturally), leaving me recipe-less. :o(

It's a balsamic vinegar based dressing, but not a vinaigrette. It looked almost exactly like butterscotch pudding, with that coloring and that texture - very thick. It did not pour at all, it was spooned and it was to die for! They served it on a mixed field greens salad with candied pecans, craisins and something akin to a cream cheese. It wasn't too terribly strong flavored, so I don't think it was goat cheese. Didn't taste like feta, either, but it resembled it. For a simple salad, it had me all flummoxed! lol

Anyways, I can figure out the cheese thing later! I'm after the dressing! Any recipes, thoughts or ideas?!?

I'm posting this all over this board, in hopes to find the answer! I'm almost obsessed with finding this recipe...

Thanks!

Taco Salad with Doritos

gnats1222 — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:17:24 GMT

A family member of mine used to bring taco salad to every family gathering. Nobody seems to have the recipe, and it seemed like it would be easy to recreate, but I'm having trouble. It was served cold, and had ground beef, olives, lettuce, tomatos, cheese, crushed Doritos, and some kind of taco seasoning sauce. Does anyone have a recipe similar to this? I'd sure appreciate it!
