Soup receipes

I love good homemade soup and the taco soup sounds delicious but does anyone have soup receipes for like 2-4 servings?  Even if I cut the taco soup in half it still sounds like a ton of soup. I don't mind freezing a serving or two but any more than that just doesn't get eaten. I guess when you make soup it's always a big pot of it.

go to allrecipes and look under soup you can type in how many servings you want to make 1 to 4 or what ever you need like this this web site

Hi!

I make my soups in bulk because I have soup everyday for at least ONE of my meals and my family also eats it..especially when they've been working outside as they do, in the bitter cold.  So it doesnt really last longer than a few days before I have to make more.

This recipe is HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH FIBRE           and LOW FAT.

ingredients:

2 quarts of homemade de-fatted chicken broth

1 pound of lean ground chicken (sometimes I use lean ground beef or even pork)

1 cup of assorted beans (white, great northern, black, etc)

1 cup of pearl or pot barley

1 cup of dehydrated vegetable flakes (I get these in the Bulk Barm-same as the beans)

1 -2 cloves of fresh, peeled and sliced garlic

2 tablespoons of Montreal steak spice(also at Bulk Barn)

sea salt, fresh-ground pepper, summer savoury to taste 

Add all ingredients with chickenbroth into a large pot

Using a potato masher, break up the lean ground chicken and mix well into the broth mixture

Bring to a boil, then turn the heat right down and allow to simmer, barely bubbling, for several hours until the ground chicken meat is cooked, the veggies are re-hydrated and the beans have softened and cooked.

Add more spices if desired.

This soup is very hearty, healthy and tasty. It also freezes well.  You can easily cut the recipe in half.

Hi Barbara,

I do not like to freeze soups, stews or spaghetti sauce. I think it changes the texture of some of the ingredients, so I invested in a pressure canner and can my leftovers.  I do some pints and quarts so that I can have just enough for a meal depending on how many I am feeding.  The jars of soups, etc. are good looking as well as convenient to use.  It also will reduce the temptation to overeat because there are not usually any leftovers!  A wonderful timesaver when you work. 

Hugs,

Thank you all so much.  Paul and Nancy, both receipes sound delicious. This is my shopping weekend and I'll try both of them next week.  Marilyn I had no idea you could do something like that. Being able to change a receipe to suit your own needs without having to calculate everything will be very helpful..  And the canning idea would be ideal for me but I'm short on storage space and wouldn't have any place to put things.
