Juliana's Broccoli Cheese Soup


Juliana's Broccoli Cheese Soup

8 cups chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon tarragon
1/2 bay leaf
1/2 chopped onion
2-4 carrots peeled and chopped as chunky or small as you like it
2 sticks of celery chopped
2 bunches broccoli. I use both heads and one stem, but you can put it all in if you want to. I chop the heads down very small and then peel and chop the stem into smallish chunks.
1 can evaporated milk
pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon parsley
1-2 cups of shredded cheese. (I usually use medium because it is what I have in the fridge.)
Add fresh garlic if desired.

Start the stock boiling and then chop the veggies and add them in as you go. I add the seasonings after the vegetables are all in. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add the milk and cheese. I never thicken it, but you can if you like it thicker.

Laura's notes: I made this with 2 large bunches of broccoli (stem and all) and 2 cups shredded cheese and it turned out well. David and I really like it. It made about 3.5 quarts.

Turkey Noodle Soup

I got this recipe from Erin Farr when I was in college.

2 cans chicken broth (10 3/4 oz size)
2 cans water
2 cups turkey
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
10 sage leaves, chopped (~1 Tbsp) or 1 tsp powdered
1 can cream of chicken soup
11 oz package Grandma's noodles (frozen uncooked egg noodles)

Heat broth and water. Add turkey, celery, carrots, sage, and noodles.  Simmer until noodles and veges are done. Add cream of chicken soup and heat through. Does not do well in crockpot.

I often put in all broth and no water and use chicken bullion instead of canned broth.  The noodles will soak up a lot of the liquid, so if it sits for a while then more water may  need to be added so it has a soupy consistency and is not too thick.

When I double this recipe I often just use one can of cream of chicken soup and 1 package 16 oz grandma's noodles. Works great!

If grandma's noodles are not to be found, Mrs. Weiss' Kluski Enriched egg noodles are fantastic. I just put in the whole 8 oz bag and it works well for ~4 qts of soup.

Notes: Hyvee and Copps carry Reames Homestyle Egg Noodles in the freezer section. I use the 12 oz package and it is just like Grandma's noodles.
