Plantation Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Sauté carrots, celery and onions in butter until tender. Add chicken broth.
• Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Stir in potato buds and milk. Add lemon, half-and-half, and peas.
• Heat through; garnish with chives and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until the onions are soft and browned, 8 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken stock, plantains, cilantro, bay leaves and cumin, and bring to a boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, until the plantains are very tender, 45 minutes.
• Transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. *When blending hot liquids, fill the blender less than halfway full, place the lid askew and pulse the liquid at first to release some heat, otherwise, your blender top could pop! Stir the pureed soup back into the pot with the remaining chunky soup and mix well. If the soup is too thick for your taste add more chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
• *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Steps:

• Heat 8 cups water to a boil. Cook the 1 1/2 cups carrots and 1 1/2 cups celery for 8 minutes until soft. Strain and cool in cold water. You will add these to the finished soup.
• In a pot, melt the 1/2 pound butter. Add the 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 cups onion, 1 cup carrot & 1 cup celery. Sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and continue to cook for 5 minutes on low-medium heat.
• Add the 8 cups water and 5 tablespoons turkey base. Blend with a hand held mixer until smooth.
• Add 6 cups water, salt, pepper, sage, marjoram, rosemary and thyme. Heat to 190 degrees or a low simmer. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat until thickened.
• Add cream, parsley, turkey meat, cranberries, cooked carrots and celery. Stir to combine. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.
