The best place to go for recipes is allrecipes.com. They have great, user-rated recipes submitted and made by regular cooks. Users rate recipes from one to five stars and make comments about the recipe – good or bad. I go there for all kinds of recipes. Enjoy!
A simple soup would be some cooked pasta and lightly sauteed vegetables (carrot & celery) in chicken broth/stock. Beautiful in its simplicity.
Oky Doky,
I made this last night. It is SO good and SO easy. The hardest part is browning the meat:
Taco Soup
************
Cook one pound of beef (drain)
Add One pckge of Dry Ranch Mix
Add One pckge of Taco Seasoning
Cook one onion with it
Then… the rest is so easy!
In a large pot dump the following one can of each:
Light red beans
dark red beans
black beans
pinto beans
rotel
diced tomatoes (in the can)
two cans of shoe peg corn
Mix in the meat and boil for an hour or so.
FANTASTIC!
Simple soup…depends on your taste.
Creamy…Potatoes, just enough water to cover potatoes, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Boil til potatoes are cooked. Add half and half.
Vegetable – Mix onions, celery, carrots, tomatoes, and any other veggie you like. Add seasonings. Boil til veggies are done and it tastes good.
Kinda depends on what kind of soup you want. I make this semi-homemade veggie beef soup that is awesome.
1-lb ground beef (or turkey to make it healthier)
1 can green beans
1 can carrots
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can new potatoes-cut into bite-size chunks (can use fresh, just judge how many you need)
salt
pepper
diced onion to taste
garlic to taste
Cook ground beef. Then combine all ingredients in a stock pot and cook til all veggies are tender.
Taco Soup
2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced onions
2 cans pinto beans
1 can pink kidney beans
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
3 cans of rotel
1 can sliced black olives
1 can chicken stock (use to thin out if too thick for you instead of water)
1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix
Corn chips, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese, for garnish
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, black olives, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix, and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. Use chicken stock to thin out if soup is too thick for you.To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos.
This is really good even my young kids love it…they ask for it all the time…oops didnt see you already had one up here must be my slow typeing

slice the leeks into thick slices, a white onion, and a potato. cook the onion, add the leeks when the onion is almost cooked, when the leeks have shrinked add the potato thinly sliced or diced and add enough stock to cover it. add salt and pepper to taste.

Old-Fashioned Cream-of-Tomato Soup
Makes 4 to 6 servings
In season, there’s nothing like a creamy tomato soup made from fresh
tomatoes! In season, also, if you have enough tomatoes to make a pot of
soup, country cooks often have enough tomatoes to can for wintertime
enjoyment. One of my favorite ways to use home-canned tomatoes is in this
simple, creamy soup. My mother cans them for me.
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 quart peeled, chopped, fresh tomatoes, or 1 quart home-canned tomatoes, or
1 (28-ounce) can Italian-style tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 pint whipping cream (1 cup)
Celery leaf
VARIATION: Substitute yellow tomatoes for red tomatoes
In a large saucepan, heat butter. Add onion. Sauté 2 minutes. Add flour and
cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened.
Add tomatoes with juice. Simmer 10 minutes. Turn mixture into a blender or
food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until fairly smooth.
Return soup to pan. Add thyme, basil, salt and pepper. Stir in cream. Heat
to serving temperature. Serve hot garnished with sour cream.
**********************************************
Bean Soup
about 6 to 8 serving.
1 16 ounce package Navy or Great Northern Beans
7 cups total water and broth…use 3 cans broth
then made up the difference with water to make 7 cups
1 ham bone
2 cups diced ham
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch black pepper
1 bay leaf, optional
1/2 cup carrots, sliced (I used about 3/4 to 1 cup)
1/2 cup celery, sliced
2 small potatoes, diced
Rinse and soak beans over night in covered pot.
Add all ingredients to crockpot and cook for 5 hours (or until done) on
high, or all day on low until beans are tender.
You can cook these on the stove as well until beans are tender.
How about this one…
Pasta and Frijoles Soup
Saute’ 1 lb Hamburger meat with 1/2 yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic (garlic salt) and 1tsp Italian Seasoning.
When browned, drain excess fat and put in stock pot.
Add 1 can kidney bean and 1 can white beans drained and rinsed
Add Box of Beef Broth (or 2 to 3 cans)
Add Diced Tomatoes (fresh or canned)
Add 1 can Hunts Tomato Puree’
Add 1 can water (use one of the cans above)
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Add 1 cup Italian Pasta like penne.
Cook until pasta is al dente’
Serve with onion rolls.
Enjoy.
