cook soup, stew, pottage, or chowder - PEP BB food.sand.soup

tiny bit of onion, garlic, chili
various types of beans
carrot, broccoli, chard, fennel, parsley
water, tomato sauce

This time I used the correct equipment with a stainless steel saucepan. It's Tom Kha soup again, but I adjusted some of the seasonings from last time including more ginger and pepper.
Ingredients:
A can of coconut milk
A cup of water
Onion
Garlic
Lemon
Ginger
Mushrooms
Carrot
Lime
Salt
Cayenne pepper
Coriander

I made an "everything but the kitchen sink" vegetable soup. No recipe, since I just used whatever I had on hand. I sauteed onion and added broth, garlic, carrots, potatoes, kale, lentils, dried yellow squash, tomato, and butternut squash. I added a bay leaf and salt for seasoning.

I didn't use the whole amounts in the ingredients photo. I used just a handful of diced butternut squash, as that's not something we like a lot of in soup. And I only used half of the onion and garlic (got tired of chopping garlic).

Broccoli Soup

Cooking outside, these days, since it's too dang hot to cook in the house! This is how you feed an army without sweating all night, people!
I used 1 onion, and sauteed it in 2 TBSP olive oil.
Next, I added in homemade rabbit stock and 2 bunches of broccoli.
Once the broccoli was soft, I added a "cream" of cashews with seasonings.
Order up!

Please note that ALL food prep BBs strictly prohibit plastic, teflon or aluminum touching the food during the cooking or storage process.  

This includes food that came in plastic containers from the store, plastic cooking utensils like spoons, spatulas, teflon pans, etc.

The end goal is to move toward cooking from own-grown ingredients and similar sources and using PEP principles (for example sustainable and non-toxic materials) as much as possible.

Some BB submissions are being grandfathered in, but we are moving toward more strict enforcement of this policy.

This is one of my favorite soups my mom made for us. So this hits home every-time I make it. Love the smell of the chiles when they are roasting, and the soupy cheese taste with the beff and chiles is just unbelievable. Enjoy!

Re-made my chiles and beef soup. I adapted my mom's recipe and removed the (MSG) bouillon ingredient, replaced with salt.

First I made bone broth in the instant pot.  

Onion, celery, garlic, ginger, carrots, mushrooms.  Chop all, put into pot with a touch of oil let sauté a few minutes.  Cover with broth, plus extra for the noodles. Add spices: turmeric, thyme, hot pepper sauce, salt, pepper, soy sauce, basil.  Let simmer 10 minutes.  Add noodles, simmer another 7 minutes.  I put chicken in my bowl only, not everyone likes it at my house.  

Beef Soup
Eight potatoes
Onion
Ten carrots
Half gallon of beef broth
Enough water to make up what is lacking in the broth (Until the veggies are covered with about an inch of liquids)
Beef
Seasonings

I think this is the first time I made soup and I am really happy! The veggies were nice and tender and the herbs added great flavor!
