Cheddar Corn Soup - Weekly Soup



I have been lax in sharing my lunches. Actually, I am way behind in sharing recipes. I have all these pictures that I have not used and would love to catch up.

I decided to attempt to post a soup a week, as I do for the muffins. I know, I have missed a few weeks but I have made over 40 different muffins, so far and plan to complete 52, soon. I am yearning for soup, although it is still very humid and hot. As long as I can eat in an air conditioned room, it should be fine.

For lunch today, it had to be this recipe from Sargento. I had printed it up and left it on my desk. Each time, I sat down at the computer, I would see my Corn Soup, waiting to be made. Today was the day. I had to make a decent lunch to keep my commitment and this soup would more than do. I made a number of changes and lightened the soup up, considerably.
Cheddar Corn Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup of. reduced sodium vegetable broth
2 - 3 cups frozen corn kernels
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Method:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.  Add onion and red pepper and saute for 10 minutes.  Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add broth, corn and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 30 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, blend to the chunkiness or smoothness, you want.  I left it with small pieces.  Return to pot.

Stir in cheese; turn off heat and stir until cheese is melted.

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.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

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 ...
