When I was a kid, I never wanted to eat soup. But since I've been out on my own I've discovered a deep love for soup.
Lots of people like to cook with soup, as in the infamous green bean casserole we've probably all recently eaten a lot of. A classic in my family growing up was hamburger casserole, a tasty combination of maccaroni, ground beef, onion, spices and cheddar cheese and tomato soup all baked up together. I don't eat beef anymore, but I definately undestand the inclination to throw a bunch of things together with some soup to keep it moist and throwing it in the oven or slow cooker or letting it simmer on the stovetop. It's the ultimate toss-it-and-forget-about-it kind of meal. You've probably seen the annoying commericals for the Web site Tasty Tuesday with Gordon Elliot (whom I've never believed as a chef even when he was on Food Network). But in the spirit of the days of the week begun last month with Meatless Monday, I thought I'd give this site a quick look. On the not-so-reliable Mac I have at work, I couldn't get all the images to load. But I got the important stuff, which are the buttons across the top of the screen. Each Tuesday they post a new recipe that uses Campbell's Soup as a main ingredient. When I visited recently it was for slow-cooker Tuscan beef stew with beef broth, tomato soup and red wine. Sounds pretty good for something that mostly comes out of cans! Click on Tip Archive for a list of all the formerly featured recipes. The recipes are ranked by home cooks on a scale of one to five, and you can rate them and leave comments. Some of the recipes also have videos to explain the techniques. Look for the television icon on the far right of the screen. Almost all of these recipes have meat as their base (I think potato soup was the only one I saw that wasn't meaty, but it wasn't made with soup either). But these are family style recipes, and most families still eat meat, so that's not really a fault. Go To Page: 1 2 |
