StuffIMakeMyHusband Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Now that it's cold out, all I want to eat is soup. Especially hearty main dish soups and stews with lots of meat and veggies. Typically I think people would round this out with a hunk of bread, but I was wondering if anyone has found a nice non-SWYPO alternative. It doesn't necessarily have to be breadlike at all, just a side dish with soup that you find satisfying. I was thinking perhaps some kind of veggie muffin, like these spinach muffins. Or nori crisps. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted December 10, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 10, 2013 I like to pair a protein with soup. A few boiled eggs, a can of sardines, some leftover roast or steak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I like a salad--not always a green salad, but marinated roasted veg, or a bitter green salad or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessXU00 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've made a couple of soups lately and have put the protein right in the soup. Last night I made cauliflower soup and had it with some sausage and sauted mushrooms. Earlier I had some basil sweet potato soup with shredded pork. It is the perfect time of year for delicious soup, you're right about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 You're making me crave soup. Alas, with temps supposedly getting to nearly 40 C here by the end of the week, soup is not on my agenda! Haha... Unless you're having a protein in your soup, some sort of egg/meat muffin might be a good idea...you could squish hamburgers out really flat and bake til crispy/firm? I also don't mind big slices of roasted cauliflower, but that's not going to help get your protein in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Some crisped up paper-thin proscuitto can be a nice "dipper" in soup. I want soup now too... hmm, maybe cold curry soup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharynF Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I like to drop an egg into my soup and let it poach as the soup reheats. Runny egg yolk in most soups is really comforting. I have never been one to have bread with soup so I don't miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharynF Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Chilled soups are good for those in the southern hemisphere. Gazpacho with all the extras to add in. One of the best I ever made was chilled radish - that had dairy cream in it but coconut milk would work well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Simpson Thumann Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I eat soup year round! Hot soups even, and I live in Florida.. of course I keep the a/c on 68.. pretty much year round except for the one or two months it gets cooler here... I like to make chunky soups with lots of veg and protein then top it off with guac or some other yummy fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I've been making a soup with chicken stock, sweet potatoes, and sea salt. Then I add chunks of ham after it's blended in the Vitamix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah T Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Now I want soup, too.. Check out www.localharvest.org for a local source of pork. Often you can get compliant ham that way. (I love my local farmers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDBERRY Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I made a delicious butternut soup yesterday with pure vegetable stock (no salt added, no sugar, nothing but veggies). Used butternut squash, onions, celery, a small sweet pototo, the veggie stock and a bit of kale. Added cumin, curry powder, ginger and a dash of nutmeg, salt. After it was soft and cooked, I put everything in the blender. Made a nice "creamy" soup. Great on a cold day. I'm pairing it today for lunch with a tossed salad and grilled chicken. It's thick enough to even use a few tablespoons in my stir fry veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
