Originally posted late June, 2016. This time I’ll use frozen stewed tomatoes and puree them in the blender. Created as a dodge for New York’s Sunday morning liquor laws, this zesty, pick-me-upper has become very popular on the brunch menu at the Rainbow Room. This recipe is from Serve It Cold! A Cookbook of

This is a reformatted repost from January 2012. For more discussion of this soup– the WINNER in our 2012 Fall & Winter Soup Contest– see here. [Update. Link doesn’t exist b/c I’ve scheduled it to repost tomorrow. So come back tomorrow for a full description of this soup– a winner!]
Had this soup been in a Soup Contest, it would have been a contender. It is terrific! Creamy without being too stiff, rich but still wanting a bit so you can keep sipping, perfectly flavored. Delicious! I made several substitutions. We are out of homegrown frozen zucchini but have an abundance of yellow squash. I
Read the story of this most delicious soup here. And enjoy the “blurb” to this recipe from Saveur magazine: As a nation, we didn’t know we loved tomato soup until someone condensed it and put it in a can. That’s when it became a steady presence on our tables, a fixture in our pantries and
My apologies for not making clear that this is not a photograph of Campbell’s Cream of Tomato Soup. (There was a college football game on last night folks. I cannot be two places at one time any more than you can be!) Here’s the rest of the story. As you know, Kat is visiting the
Mr. Big Food had a radical– and brilliant!– idea to beat the heat the other week: Cook up a big ol’ pot of soup outside on the turkey fryer. As you know, here on Farther Along Farm we love soup. Brilliant! That is Lentil Soup Barracho just getting started at about 5:45. This is a
Take a good look at that photo. Note that neither the noodles nor the crackers are homemade– though one can make homemade noodles and crackers. Somewhere here on the blog is Miss M’s recipe for homemade water crackers, and I’m pretty sure there are photos of making homemade noodles. That’s not the point. The point
[Individual photos here.] This soup, made with a proper beef stock, will not have that salty flavor you find in restaurant soups. Why? Because the restaurant usually use instant stock. For shame! — Jeff Smith, The Frugal Gourmet This soup is very easy to make– and so is the beef stock if you can find
Here’s the story. As you know the NCAA National Football Championship Game was last evening. Kickoff 7:30 central. My timing on Marica Cooks Monday had to be impeccable. Here is Missy hanging out at 6:32pm by which time I had reviewed the recipe many many times. It’s very easy but I didn’t want any unnecessary
A few preliminaries. We have made Saturday “slow cooker” day– started back in the Summer when it made great sense. It was nice to come inside to a nearly finished meal after toiling under the hot sun all day. And we’ve carried it over into the Fall. I especially like it because we can get
This is an excellent summer soup. (We do like our soup here on the Farm.) The recipe fed five for Saturday Supper and two for lunch Sunday. Three cups are frozen away. Mr. Big Food comments, “the homegrown celery really made the bean soup.” Indeed! “May be prepared ahead of time. Freezes well.” —Celia Marks
Homemade chicken soup with fluffy dumplings Of the many joys of Big Life here on the Farm, our Fall & Winter Soup Contests are right up there. Week after cold winter week Mr. Big Food cooked up new soup recipes and we judged their worthiness. Good times! With comment and recipes for the contest entrants

Topped with Fluffy Dumplings Well, this is embarrassing. This soup was of course a contestant in our 2013/14 Fall and Winter Soup Contest. (More soup recipes at the link.) We enjoyed it back on December 30th. Mr. Big Food assures me we discussed its ranking at the time but I see no mention of it
