Potato Soup with Cabbage and Cream - QED

 This was not what I had planned having for dinner, Thursday, but I had not made Giada's Fried Mashed Potatoes which had left me, in the mood, for potatoes.  I was also in a hurry and I find soup very quick and easy to make with a shortcut or two.

 Potato Soup with Cabbage and Cream

 Ingredients

  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded white cabbage
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 2 - 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1/8 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

In a microwave, on high, cook potatoes with skins, washed thoroughly, for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave.  I used small to medium potatoes and took the smaller ones out, earlier.  As soon as they start getting pliable, they are ready to be peeled.  If you like a softer potato or plan to blend the soup to a smooth consistency, boil the peeled potatoes, cut into chunks.

  In olive oil, in a 4 quart sauce pan, cook potatoes  carrots, celery, chopped onions, and cabbage. Mix together and cook until all vegetables are soft.


Add vegetable broth and season with parsley and pepper. If you desire a thinner type of soup you may want to add 1/2 cup of water.
Heat soup through, stirring occasionally, and serve.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
