Soup Veggie Muffins






After making two giant pots of chicken soup, I had lots of soup vegetables, left over. Rather than throw them out, I put them in the refrigerator, hoping I would think of something to do with them. My husband is the hero and suggested patties and offered to get the muffin tins, for me. Silly me asked him which he wanted, vegetable pancakes or muffins and he started to say the pancakes until I frowned and said, “They’re fried.” Muffins of a sort is what we got and they were definitely baked.


I am going to do my best to re-create this recipe . It was one of those that I put ingredients in, as I thought of them.

Soup Veggi Muffins

Ingredients:

About 3 cups of assorted soup vegetables – carrots, onions, sweet potato, turnip, celery and parsnip.

1 cup potato starch

1 cup ground walnuts

(no seasoning since the soup had plenty)

2 eggs (add more potato starch if you think the mixture is too wet.)

1-2 teaspoons dried parsley to sprinkle on top or if you have fresh parsley, please use it

Method:

Preheat oven to 35o degrees F.

Take cooked soup vegetable and put them through the food processor until you have a smooth blend. There will be liquid from the soup even though you should drain it, first.

After removing it from food processor, drain again and put in a large bowl. Add potato starch, nuts and eggs and mix well.

Spray muffin tins with olive oil and pour muffin batter into cups. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes.

Believe it or not, you end up with a little wet but delicious “muffins”. You can add anything you want to the recipe.

Eat and enjoy.

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
