Roasted Garlic Soup Recipe – with Artichoke

Artichoke soup is  so luxurious, and quite simple to make! I find gorgeous frozen artichoke bottoms in the frozen section of every Kosher supermarket: Someone in the food industry, bless him, has done all the pesky job of snapping the leaves off the artichokes, and the even peskier job of scraping the fuzz off the artichoke bottoms, leaving us only with exactly what we want (perfect artichoke bottoms or baby artichoke hearts) in order to sail through the preparation of quite a few artichoke-based treats. Lean, nutrient-packed, different, and delicious, they make this artichoke soup and quite a few other artichoke treats a snap to prepare. Did you know there was an artichoke liqueur called Cynar? Not for the fainthearted: Try it, it might grow on you!

Pickled Salmon Recipe

Strictly speaking, Pickled Salmon is not cooked:

Pickled Salmon recipe: Please don’t gasp! Pickled salmon pickles much the way herring and pickles do, in a brine. The combination of vinegar-salt-sugar cures the fish quickly and effortlessly. The ketchup imparts wonderful color and a pleasing sweet-and-sour flavor to the pickled salmon. No, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on how many hats salmon can wear: All delicious, all quick, all healthy!

Pickled salmon recipe is delicious alone, with tiny boiled potatoes or on top of mixed greens.

This is a Russian favorite that takes only a minute to prepare and keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator. Move over once in a while, pickled herring, we love you, but here is a most welcome change! Pickled salmon makes a great first course, or a great buffet dis

Caprese Salad Recipe

Caprese Salad Recipe heralds spring as surely and as exuberantly as Forsythia and Daffodils

We all love its intoxicating fragrances and bright Italian Red-White-and-Green Flag colors. In spring and summer the basil and the tomatoes are at their very best, and a Caprese Salad Recipe is a delightful way to showcase them and the Mediterranean Diet.

The three ingredients that must be present in Caprese Salad are tomatoes, basil and mozarella. Likewise, the trademark ingredient in the dressing is a luscious and very easy balsamic reduction. But I love these flavors so much I just play with them and take them places, often making my Caprese Salad main course: hey it’s your lunch, right? so don’t hesitate to cheat and make it grow, as do I, so it can wear more hats and you can enjoy it more often: Start with the easy basic Caprese Salad, eat it as is with your main course, or in a sandwich, or add a few goodies and make it your main course, gluten-free all the way.

Balsamic reduction is such a treat that it would pay to make a bigger batch and store it in a bottle, so you have it on hand, not only for Caprese Salad but to use as a glaze over grilled fish, poached chicken and other favorites.

Vegetarian Bean Soup:

Another delicious all-vegetarian and inexpensive Moroccan soup, done the quick way.

Comfort food at its best. Unlike on my personal blog, I am using canned beans in this vegetarian bean soup recipe, as the theme of this whole recipe section is to get a perfect meal even when we are short on time. But this is the luxury that using Levana Nourishments affords you, as you start with that powerful pouch, which packs a powerful punch.

 My Bean Soup Freezes Beautifully.

So, don’t divide: Freeze! You will be happy to find a container in the freezer when you are short on time and crave a large bowl of comfort food!

Cabbage Sauerkraut Soup Recipe

My Cabbage Sauerkraut Soup: Double cabbage treat.

I look for every excuse to use the humble cabbage, like in this cabbage sauerkraut soup. Talk about gastronomie sans argent, with nutrition worth its weight in gold.

Cabbage and caraway have a natural affinity.

They team up with the potatoes to produce this delightfully funky cabbage soup.

The addition of the fermented sauerkraut in this cabbage sauerkraut soup makes it a wonderfully healthy choice.

Spreading the cabbage flavor thicker still, and adds such intense  flavor that the addition of any meat product becomes virtually superfluous. I hope you always welcome, as I do, a delicious vegetarian soup!

I love this cabbage sauerkraut soup nice and chunky, and the clear broth is delightful.

However, when kids are involved, I will cream it with an immersion blender.

Creaming this cabbage sauerkraut soup is an innocent trick I use to get kids to eat it: while they might discard the ingredients they can spot in the soup, they will greatly appreciate the sum total of all these “controversial” and totally undetected ingredients: Trust me: Tried and true!

If a very low carb soup is what you are after, no problem substituting celery root for the potatoes.
