Green Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Put the spring onions, potato and garlic into a large pan. Pour over the vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 mins with a lid on or until the potato is soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon.
• Add the peas and bring back up to a simmer. Scoop out around 4 tbsp of the peas and set aside for the garnish.
• Stir the spinach and yogurt into the pan, then carefully pour the whole mixture into a blender or use a stick blender to blitz it until it's very smooth. Season to taste with black pepper.
• Ladle into bowls, then add some of the reserved cooked peas and scatter over your favourite soft herbs or cress. Serve with crusty bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan- Cook the onion and leek over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Add the celery, carrot, and garlic, then cover and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Add the water, potato, parsnip, kohlrabi or turnip, and green beans- Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cover, simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the peas, zucchini, and small cannellini beans and season to taste- Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, until all vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile, make the pesto: Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary (Alternatively, pound together using a pestle and mortar.).
• Add the spinach to the soup and simmer for 5 minutes- Stir a spoonful of the pesto into the soup.
• Ladle into bowls and serve the remaining pesto separately.

Steps:

• Heat the EVOO in large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the anchovies into the oil and stir until they melt away into the oil. Add the garlic and chiles, and stir for 2 minutes. Then add the vermouth. Add the potatoes, celery, carrots and onions, and cook partially covered 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and season with pepper. Wilt in the greens and season with a little nutmeg. Once the greens have wilted, add the chicken and vegetable stocks and bring to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Then season with salt, if necessary.
• Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, reheat over medium heat and stir in the parsley. Serve with cheese and bread.

Steps:

• To cook the rice, add it to plenty of boiling, salted water and simmer for 10 to 18 minutes (the time varies depending on the type of rice), or until tender, then drain quickly. Keep it aside until you are ready to serve.
• Heat the stock in a large pan. Cut the leeks crosswise and the celery into slices about 1/3 inch thick and add them to the pan. Simmer for about 30 minutes, until they are tender. Add salt (taking into account the saltiness of the stock), white pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and sugar.
• Trim the zucchini of their ends and cut in half lengthwise and then into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Add them to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, then add the mint and cook 5 minutes more. Taste and adjust the flavorings.
• Serve in soup bowls over the rice.

Steps:

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Toss chicken with sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the black pepper. Add chicken to Dutch oven; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once, until chicken is browned. Using slotted spoon, transfer mixture to bowl; cover to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to Dutch oven. Add mushrooms and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and starting to brown. Add white parts of onion, gingerroot, garlic, chopped jalapeño and carrots to Dutch oven; cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are starting to soften and are fragrant.
• Stir in broth; heat to boiling. Stir in chicken and cauliflower; return to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is tender. Stir in soy sauce and green parts of onion; divide among serving bowls.
• Garnish with basil and cilantro.
