VRC #2 - Soups and Stews - 2/05/06

Up to around 14 entries this time. It was so much fun to look over the entries this time - so many unusual soups - I can't wait to try some of them.

On to the recipes..... in no particular order.....

Baking Soda at Bake My Day

Malaysian Spicy Noodle Soup

Felicia at The Web Sorceress Cooks

Red Beans and Rice with Sausage

Kalyn from Kalyn's Kitchen

Turkey Barley Soup

Giniann at Salt and Pepper

Broccoli Rabe and Pasta Soup

Patti at Adventures in Food and Wine

Chunky Potato-Crab Chowder

SusanV at Fatfree Vegan Kitchen

Mexican Pumpkin Soup and Garlicky Greens

Jill from Glossy Veneer

Sopa

From Sailu's Food

Faith also has a whole blog dedicated to soup at Blog Appetit Does Soup!
Lastly, my own entry.
A big thank you to everyone who participated. I was hoping to try a new recipe and post it here this weekend, but I got carried away with brownies and pizza. Not necessarily a bad thing.
And now, to announce the theme for next week..........this time we're going to do someting a little different. Once a month or so, I'd like to select a spice or herb for the theme. It can be any kind of recipe - sweet or savory - as long as it includes the spice or herb selected. This time, I'd like to select Cardamom. It's not something I cook with very often at all, but when I smelled it the other day while making the Ginger-Carrot Muffins, I knew I wanted to try more recipes that use it.

For next week, I'd love to have a guest host for VRC. Anyone willing? As host, you would be responsible for posting pictures and recipes, but you also get to pick the theme? Let me know!

  1. Thanks for including me in the round up. Lots of great new soups to try! Looking forward to your next "virtual cookbook" event.

    Soups just in time for the "Soup-er Bowl" -- perfect. Or should I say "souper"?

  3. FYI - this post is hiding in August, just until tomorrow when I'll bump it to February. I wanted to publish it so that I could see how it looks - sometimes IE doesn't show it properly in preview.

    THANK YOU both for your contributions!

  4. Thanks for a great round-up. I'm not a big cardomon fan, so I might skip next week, but I will be back.

  5. Yes - I figured it might be too specific a category and keep some people away, but I thought it was worth a try. :)

  9. Great round up Alysha... Apparently I was not paying attention enough to see it was soup this week - I even did one on Monday! I already have the menu planned out for this week and don't think Cardamom is in anything, but I have to see if I can do something!

  10. Hi Joe. I can post your recipe to the list if you'd like. Just let me know and I'll put in a link and a photo.

    As for this coming week, you don't actually have to cook something this week to participate - even if it's an old favorite, you're welcome to share it.
