Well listen to this this Shabbos we had a guestless one, so I relaxed for once. I made everything except my familys favourite cholent, I just forgot and don't ask how such a thing happend embarrassed

. I put all the veg into the soup w/h barley and chicken (we ran out of meat and have to wait for new shipment). Well fri night it was delicious soup and we had still lots left so we put it back on the flame since my husband held it whilst I spooned servings otherwise we wouldn't have been able to. The following morning or afternoon rather we had lovely brown cholent since water had evaporated . This was not planned I tell you. But it's given me alot of ideas for the future there was none left, not even to clean. Exclamation

(but I still had to ofcourse) Very Happy

no,its failr easy,use about 4 lbs of chicken pieces(bones,necks,legs,whatever u want)
about 12 c. water
3 onions cut in 4
a few carrots(2 or 3) cut in chunks
a bunch of celery in chunks
1tbsp whole peppercorns
parsley,dill etc
wash chicken,place in a pit ,when the meat comes to a boil skim off scum,once the water is clear,add veggies and spices.

bring back to boil,once boiling put on low heat and simmer for about 2 hrs.
strain liquid ,discard veggies etc.
divide broth into containers or ice cube trays and freeze
once frozen u can put the cubes in ziplocks for suture use

I make split pea soup pretty often,

16oz bag of green split peas (you can use part yellow/partgreen)
One onion diced
1 carrot diced
1 celery diced
handful of barley
chicken leg or turkey leg or cut up hotdogs, or nothing to keep it parve
salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste

boil with about 8 cups of water, then simmer for about 1.5 hours. Don't simmer for too long or all the split peas will dissolve.

I want the split peas to dissolve - that makes a smooth soup. I also leave the onion and celery whole and remove them after cooking, and put the carrot through the food mill. (I don't put in barley.)

This is a great winter soup. How about summer soups? I.e. gazpacho. Here's my recipe:

4 tomatoes
1/2 green pepper
1/2 cucumber
2 cloves garlic
can of tomato juice
salt and pepper

put the vegetables through the food processor (don't process too fine) and add the tomato juice. Refrigerate a while to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with finely chopped pepper and cucumber and/or croutons.

Any other good cold soup recipes?

Sarahd, my husband also makes a smooth thick pea soup that is really good(much better then mine I am very proud to say Very Happy

). He told me one of his tricks are to grate the carrots, cerlery and onion. So it comes out thick but not chunkie. It takes more time but definately worth it.
Did you grow up having fruit soup in the summer? My mil makes this interesting soup with cherries, apricots and not sure of the other fruits and it is pink/red. Also she puts in a raw egg to make it creamy. I can get the exact recipe from her if anyone wants. Hungarian style fruit soup!

1stimer can you please post the cream of mushroom soup recipe? The 2 tone pea and carrot soup is very pretty and we also love the mushroom barley soup from S&S.

Yup, Sunshine, I grew up on exactly that kind of fruit soup, made with sour cherries and other fruits. My mother used to serve it on summer Shabbos afternoons instead of chulent. (Our bungalow was so tiny and hot that my mother refused to leave the blech on all Shabbos.)
