SOUP IDEAS

Any tin of soup can become delicious when you add cream, evaporated milk and pepper.  No salt...there is usually too much salt already.

 

1. Quick tomato sauce

8 tomatoes fresh chopped fine in a food processor and 1/2 cup of water

boil, simmer and add pepper, salt, a dash of vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar

add a carton of cream or a tin of evaporated milk

serve with grated cheese, chopped basil or cream

You can do the same with two tins of tomato soup OR a jar of pasta sauce

2.Mushroom soup

2 tins of cream of mushroom sauce

1 carton of  fresh mushrooms

1 small onion and 1 clove of garlic chopped

sauté onions, mushrooms and garlic, add tins of soup and pepper

add cream or a tin of evaporated milk

 

3.Potato soup

cube 4-6 potatoes

chop one onion and one garlic clove

fry 8 rashers of bacon or you can use a packet of salad bacon

2 tins of evaporated milk or cream

sauté onion and garlic ( cook bacon, chopped)

pour off some fat, add potatoes and just enough water to cover them

 

 boil till falling apart, mash with a potato masher and then add the cream or tins of evaporated milk

low heat once cream has been added

season with plenty of pepper and salt

if you have time you can put the soup through the food processor for a smoother soup

 

4. pea soup
