SOUP!

[Patty]

I'm a school teacher and one of the parents brought the most delicious and comforting soup to the teachers the other day. It was the most magnificent thing I have ever tasted and will become my "Comfort Food" this winter.

Here it is...(I hope this works).

Something my wife found-it is AWESOME!! Hope you enjoy it!
________________________________________
• 2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
• 1 chile pepper, seeded and deveined (your choice: banana, poblano, jalapeno, habanero--whatever you can stand)
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1/4 cup lentils
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 Tablespoon curry powder
• 1/2 cup coconut milk* or whipping cream
• 1-2 cups cooked rice (preferably basmati)
• 1/2-1 cup shredded cooked chicken (you can cook raw chicken in the stock at the start if you don't have leftover chicken lying around)
• 1/2 cup tart raw apple, chopped fine
Garnish: spoonsful of extra cream or coconut milk--and minced cilantro or parsley.
Saute the celery, carrots, onion, and pepper in the butter at a low heat until the onion is translucent. Stir in the curry powder to blend and cook for a minute. Pour in the stock, add the lentils (and chicken, if it's raw), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, get the rice cooked (if it isn't already); likewise with the chicken. Then shred the chicken and chopped the apples finely. You don't need to skin the apples.
When the soup is done, season to taste with the salt and pepper, then puree, solids first, in a blender. Return to pot.
When ready to serve, bring the soup to a simmer and add the coconut milk or cream. Take the pot to the table, as well as individual bowls of warm rice (heated in the microwave, if necessary), shredded chicken, finely chopped apple, coconut milk (or cream), and minced cilantro (or parsley).
To serve, have big individual serving bowls at the ready. Spoon rice into each bowl (flat soup bowls are nice here)--then pile on a big spoonful of chicken and a spoonful of apple. Ladle the soup on top, then drip coconut milk/cream into the center and swirl--and sprinkling with fresh cilantro and parsley.
________________________________________
*If you can't find canned coconut milk in a Thai/Indian market or fancy supermarket, you can make it. Just pour some boiling water over fresh grated or packaged UNSWEETENED coconut. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then blend in a blender or food processor and strain as finely as you can, pressing the solids hard before throwing them out. Add the coconut milk at the last possible minute because its distinctive flavor degrades quickly in high heat

WOW SidC, that recipe certainly appeals to my Asian taste buds (dad is Burmese,) think I'll need to give this a whirl!
[Also, hubby - who is quite adept en la cocina - shares your first name, so it MUST be a sign!]
Thanks for sharing!

Hope you enjoy it!! I forgot to ad-when serving it, I also squeeze a lemon slice over the bowl, then drop it into the soup-lemon is a great addition

Just about to sit down to a bowl of split pea soup and biscuits. I have a tough time eating the pasty soup but Mrs. C loves it and she gets what she wants these days. I made a wonderful stock from an old ham bone, mayhap that will change my tune a bit but so far I am mostly looking' forward to the southern style biscuits.

Time to dust-off the crockpot! Fall is definitely my favorite time of year for cooking-up some warmth with yummy and hearty soups, stews, & chilis!

Here's one of my family's favorites:

BEST EVAH BEAN & HAM SOUP

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb bag of dried white beans
1 C diced carrots
1 C cubed ham steak (and bone if you have one!)
1 med yellow onion - diced
2 C chicken broth
4 C water
1 Bay Leaf
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Beano

HOW TO:
1. Rinse and soak beans according to package directions (I usually use the boil and sit for an hour method cuz I never seem to remember to soak them the night before!)

2. Once soaked beans are rinsed again, put them into your crockpot with the above ingredients and stir.

3. Cover and cook on LOW 8-10 hours, or HIGH 6-8 hours. I like to use my potato masher before serving to gently smoosh the beans a bit to give it a thicker texture.

4. Remove ham bone and bay leaf, chew 3 Beanos with your first bite and enjoy!
