CREAM OF CELERY SOUP
====================

Ingredients:
------------
1/2 cup  butter
1        large onion
1 bunch  celery
6        medium baking potatoes
5        bay leaves
salt & pepper
half-and-half

Instructions:
-------------
Melt the butter in the bottom of an 8-quart pot.  Slice the onion (I
usually cut it in half, then slices the halves) and toss it in to cook.
Stir it around every once in a while.  Slice the celery, including
leaves, but discarding the bottom inch or two (the very white part).

Toss the celery in with the onion.  Stir it around while peeling the
potatoes.  Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite/boiling-sized chunks
(at least eighths).  When the onions are soft, toss in the potatoes.
Cover with water - use as little as possible, just enough to come to
near the top of the vegetables.

Put in some salt and some pepper.  Put in the five bay leaves.  Boil on
medium-high for 30 minutes (turn down to medium if it boils over too
much) or until potatoes come apart when pierced with a fork.

Take out the bay leaves.  Put the cooked vegetables, with some of the
water, into a blender (fill the container about to half).  Pour in a
splash of half-and-half.  Blend on the highest setting until very
smooth.  Pour that out and repeat until all the vegetables have been
blended.  Add salt and pepper to taste when eating - be careful, you can
add salt to this pretty much endlessly.

HEARTY KALE-QUINOA SOUP
=======================

Ingredients:
------------
2         onions, chopped
2         garlic cloves, minced
2         celery stalks, chopped
2 tbs     olive oil
1 lb      mushrooms, diced
(1/4 lb   Portabella mushrooms, diced)
10        cups hot water
5         soy cubes
3/4 cup   quinoa
1/3 cup   pearl or pot barley
1/3 cup   red lentils
3         carrots, diced
3 tbs     tamari soy sauce
2 tsp     dried dill weed (or 2 tbs fresh)
1/4 cup   fresh parsley, chopped
4 cups    kale, chopped coarsely

Instructions:
-------------
Add the onions, garlic, and celery to the oil in a large pot over
low-medium heat.  (I started off with 1 tbs butter then added the
veggies then 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil.  But this is not for strict
vegans.) Cook until the onions become translucent but not brown (10-15
minutes).  Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile dissolve the soy cubes in the hot water.  If you can't get soy
cubes, use a couple more tbs of tamari.  Add the water, tamari, quinoa,
lentils, barley, and carrots to the pot and bring to a boil over high
heat.  Reduce the heat and add the dried dill (add at same time as
parsley if it is fresh).  Simmer for 1 hour.  Add the parsley and the
kale (and the fresh dill if you are not using dried dill) then simmer
for another 10 minutes.  Serve.

You can add some water during the simmering if you think it is too
thick.  I like it very thick.  :-)

Morellos are sour cherries; they may be either light red or dark, almost

Crush a few of the cherry pits, then put all the pits and stems into a

use more chili paste.

KIM CHEE
========

Okay, since I just made a batch after a 2 year absence of the stuff,
here's the recipe I use:

Ingredients:
------------
2/3 lb    Napa Cabbage - sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 lb    Daikon radish - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1         medium cucumber - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1         medium turnip - peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup   salt
1 tblsp   salt
3         spring onions, sliced
3 cloves  garlic, minced
4 tsp     fresh ginger, minced
1 tblsp   dried chili flakes
2 tsp     soy sauce/tamari
1 cup     water

Instructions:
-------------


large bowl.  Between layers, liberally sprinkle with 1/2 cup salt.
Cover with water and place a wide plate or pot on top to submerge them.
Leave overnight or at least 12 hours.  Drain & Rinse vegetables in a
colander.  Julienne each vegetable into a uniform shape.  return them to
the large bowl, and add spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili flakes,
soy/tamari, salt and 1 cup water.  Toss to combine.

Spoon the vegetabels with liquid into a large crock or clean jars.
Cover tightly or cap.  Refridgerate for 3 days before opening.
Everyday, turn jars upside down a couple of times to distribute spices,
or stir vegetables in the crock.  Store in refridgerator.

Notes:
------
Kim chee spiciness varies depending on the hotness of the chili flakes
used.  The longer it sites, the hotter it gets (up to a point).  I
cannot vouch for the authenticity of the recipe, but its about as close
as I've come.

beware 'kim chee' spices in oriental food stores, as they most likely
have MSG in them.

KIM CHI
=======

Ingredients:
------------
2 heads   of Chinese (or white) cabbage
1 cup     of salt
1 lbs     daikon (long white Oriental radish)
6         green (spring) onions
4 cloves  garlic
1 inches  fresh gingerroot
1 stalk   of celery
1         hard, semi-ripe pear
4 tblsp   ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 tblsp   granulated sugar

Instructions:
-------------
1.  Remove (do not discard) the outer leaves from the cabbage.  Quarter
the cabbage and place together with the outside leaves in a large bowl.
Sprinkle on the salt.  Let stand 3 hours, turning occasionally.

2.  Peel the daikon and cut into long thin strips.  Cut the onions into
1." strips and then shred lengthwise into slivers.  Mix the daikon and
onion strips together in another bowl and let sit while the cabbage and
salt mixture is sitting.

3.  Peel and mince garlic and gingerroot.  Cut celery into 1" lengths
and shred lengthwise.  Peel, core, and slice the pear and then cut into
long strips.  Mix these ingredients together with the cayenne and
granulated sugar and combine into the daikon and onion mixture.

4.  The cabbage will have produced a brine after sitting.  Remove the
outer leaves from the brine and set aside.  Take a quarter of the
cabbage head, rinse it under running water then pack the daikon and
onion mixture between the leaves.  Set it in the bottom of a crock or
other container.  Repeat this procedure with the remaining three
quarters.  Any remaining mixture should be layered over the cabbage.
Press down.

5.  Place the outer leaves in a layer on top of the cabbage and cover
the crock.  Set a small weight on top of the cover and let sit for 3
days.  The longer it sits the stronger it gets!  It can be stored for a
month prior to opening.  Keep it in a cool (60 degree) place.

After removing the Kim Chi from the crock it can be stored in glass jars
and used as needed.

This is a strong recipe and if it is still not hot enough, diced red
peppers with seeds can be added, to the daikon and onion mixture, but do
so at your own risk!  Enjoy.

PEA SOUP, BEAUCE STYLE
======================
(serves 8)

This hearty soup is a specialty at Auberge Benedict Arnold in St.
Georges.  It's the most requested dish of American visitors, says chef
Renaud Jacques, who was born in St.  Elzear.  In summer, he flavors it
with fresh hrbs.  The rest of the year, he uses Quebec's favorite salted
herbs (recipe follows).

Ingredients:
------------
2 cups    (500 ml / 450 g) dried white pea beans
2 tblsp   (25 ml) butter
1/2 cup   (125ml) chopped onion
1/4 cup   (50 ml) chopped leek, white part only
1/4 cup   (50 ml) smoked ham, plus ham bone
1/2 lb    (250 g) salt pork
1 clove   garlic
8 cups    (2 l) cold water
2 tblsp   (25 ml) salted herbs (see below), rinsed in  cold water

Instructions:
-------------
Soak peas for at least 8 hours or overnight in water to cover; drain.
Heat butter in a large heavy hot and saute onion and leek just until
tender.  Add peas, ham, salt pork (in one piece), garlic, water and
salted herbs.  Bring quickly to a boil, lower heat, partly cover, and
cook gently for 2-3 hours or until peas are tender.  Stir occasionally
during cooking, adding more water if necessary.  Remove salt pork, cut
in small pieces, then return to soup. May be frozen.

===================

1         small cooking pumpkin
1/2 cup   "raw" cashew pieces
1 tblsp   grated fresh ginger (or to taste)
salt to taste

Instructions:
-------------
Soak cashews in water to cover for several hours.  This step is
optional, but helps them blend better.

Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and bake cut side down at 350 degrees
F until very tender (45 minutes to one hour).

Scrape pumpkin from the peel and puree in a blender, with any juices, in
batches.  Put pureed pumpkin into your soup pot.

Blend cashews in blender until smooth and add to the pumpkin puree.
Rinse the blender with a little water and add to the pot.  Add a little
more water if it's too thick.

Add ginger and salt to taste and heat gently for a few minutes to blend
the flavors.

For an even easier variation, use frozen, cooked squash.

ROASTED EGGPLANT SOUP WITH MOZZARELLA CROUTONS

1.5 lb    Japanese eggplant, halved lengthwise

pan near the tomatoes, roast the vegetables for 30 to 40 minutes more,
or until the bell pepper is charred, and let them cool.  Remove the skin
from the bell pepper and the onions and coarsely chop the eggplant, the
bell pepper, the onions, and the garlic.

In a large kettle melt the butter with the remaining 3 tablespoons oil
over moderately high heat, add the chopped vegetables including the
garlic, the tomatoes, the thyme, the oregano, the basil, and enough of
the broth to just cover the mixture, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the bay leaf and simmer the soup for 30 minutes, or until it is
thickened slightly.  In a blender or food processor puree the soup in
batches, transferring it as it is pureed to the cleaned kettle (the soup
will be thick and textured, flecked with black bits of the eggplant),
and heat it with the remaining broth over moderately low heat until it
is heated through.

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet, sprinkle them with
mozzarella, and broil the croutons under a preheated broiler about 4
inches from the heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is golden.
Ladle the soup into 6 bowls and top each serving with 2 croutons.
Serves 6.

(Also, instead of full slices as croutons, after broiling, with a sharp
knife the toasted bread can be cut into smaller croutons and sprinkled
onto the soup)

UKRAINIAN SWEET AND SOUR BEAN AND CABBAGE SOUP
==============================================

Ingredients (note: these are all approximate, and this makes a very
large quantity of soup - but I freeze what remains when we get tired of
eating it in ziploc bags, and it saves me time the next time I feel like
making it)

Stock:
------
2     turkey legs
2-3   medium onions, chopped

Note:
-----
Originally this was made with pork (neck) bones, but I have found that
turkey tastes very similar in stock, and there is less fat to skim

Boil this for several hours.  Either proceed with recipe, or cool down
and refrig.  until you feel like proceeding

Soup:
-----

Add:
----
1 bag    of sour kraut which has been rinsed several times to remove
some salt (this is about 1 lb)
1        chopped cabbage
3        shredded carrots
1        small can of tomato paste
1 can    of "white beans" (great northern beans are what I use)
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
-------------
Add the sour kraut to the stock, after removing meat/bones.  Cook this
covered for about 45 minutes.  Next add the shredded carrots.  Cook for
about 10 minutes.  Then add the chopped cabbage, cooking for about 15
minutes, or until the fresh cabbage is tender.  Then add the tomato
paste, mixing until it's dissolved.  Now bring it back to boiling, and
cook for a couple of minutes.  Next dump the beans in (you don't have to
drain them).  Heat til boiling, then cover it and let it sit (if you're
not too hungry) for about an hour so the flavors can mix.  If there is
not enough liquid, you can add water or tomato juice.  Of course, add
salt and pepper to taste.  This soup is a hearty winter one that goes
well with black bread and butter!

WATERCRESS SOUP
===============

Short version:
--------------
Prepare a vegetable stock.  Boil briefly with 4 cloves of roasted garlic.
Remove from heat, and, as boiling subsides, add a lot of watercress
leaves.

Long version, for two large servings:
-------------------------------------
Bake:
-----
4    cloves of garlic
1    medium carrot, scraped
2    small stalks of celery
1/2  medium onion

Mince and saute in a little oil briefly.  Meanwhile wash and remove
leaves from large bunch of watercress.  Chop a few of stems of the
watercress*, to get loose fistfull

Add:
----
5 cups   cold water
3 stems  of italian (flat) parsely
The chopped watercress stems*
1/2 tsp  thyme (dried leaves) and 1/2 tsp sage (dried leaves)
(use less if you have powder)
1        bay leaf
1 tsp    salt (you'll add more later)
Few grinds of pepper

Instructions:
-------------
Heat should be medium low, so it comes to a slow boil.  (You can
make the rest of your dinner while this is happening.)

Let boil gently ca. 20 minutes, spoon off some and taste for salt
and pepper.

Remove garlic from oven, let cool, skin.  Strain through cheesecloth or
fine sieve to get a clear stock.  Smash up the garlic in a bit of the
stock, stir in to the stock.  Bring to a furious boil.  Kill the heat
immediately.  When boiling is almost subsided, throw in watercress
leaves and stir around.

* The watercress stems may be a mistake.  The stock was good but a little
flat, next time I'm going to try without the stems.
