Roasted Carrot and Dumpling Soup - WwDH


This week, I selected this Roasted Carrot and Dumpling Soup.  We loved the carrots soup and did not like the dumplings which were heavy and  hard.  I did make them gluten-free which might  have been the cause for this.

 This was another easy recipe although it had the additional step of roasting the carrots and onions.  That did not seem like a big deal.  The ever powerful immersion  blender made for a smooth soup.

 The dumplings were very easy to make.  They rolled into balls with no effort and frankly, at the rolling stage, I did not think we were going to enjoy them.

 You can find the recipe  online and I do recommend the soup.  I can't wait to check out the other Donna hay cooks and see what their soups were like.  Do visit them and get their opinions.

    LOL - I used glutinous flour and the dough balls were very sticky - I had to add more flour. But in the end, I liked them - the best part.

    This was the best soup. I really liked it. Needed more cumin. Great pick.

    Maybe matzoh balls would be better!

    It looks wonderful! Hot soup on a cold day is the best...

    I Can't get enough varieties of soup. This sounds delicious. The only thing that I found works for a gluten free dumpling is gluten free breadcrumbs. The flour makes it too dense.

    I like a soup pureed smooth--seems creamier and more filling than a brothy one. Sorry the dumplings didn't work out, but it doesn't seem like this soup needs them!

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

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
