Soups for the cold winter

I keep packets of vegetable bouillon handy. They tend to be rather high in salt however. I've made a few veggie soups with bouillon or tomato base... also had a killer mushroom and barley soup this week. Got any faves ?

 

Leek & potato

Carrot
Minestrone

 

Tortellini soup, tomato soup, potato soup, lentil soup, black bean soup, all homemade of course...man, I just love soup, I'd be happy eating it everyday. I just throw everything in my crock pot in the morning and let it simmer all day long, and I make my bread dough so that we can have homemade bread or rolls with it. Then, come dinner time, dinner is all ready to go.

 

i made a really good chili the other night... it was something like this.

i sauted green peppers, onions and celery in a pot. added chili powder, oregano, and cilantro for my spices. then i added a quart of home canned tomatoes (my mom does that in the summer). after that simmered i added cashews, raisins, and pinto beans.

thats not exactly it but it's really good.

i think its fine to eat for all my vegan friends here too

I like veggie-noodle and tomato myself, and potato/leek soup!

minestrone - I love ordering it at a local Italian restaurant, but I haven't found a recipe I like yet for making it at home - anyone have a recipe they LOVE & wouldn't mind sharing?!?
love,
mom
