Written by LWM Test Kitchen. Posted in Soup,Stews,& Chili.

Cream of Artichoke SoupCream of Artichoke Soup

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 leeks, white part only, washed well and chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 medium or 2 small potato, peeled and chopped
2 (8-ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
4 cups vegetable stock
3/4 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup half & half
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish
salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and the garlic and stir. Add the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the artichokes, stock, salt, and pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

*Using a handheld immersion blender, or in a blender in small amounts, puree the soup. Add the yogurt & half and half.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Top with sprinkled parmesan cheese and chives.

* Blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Corn Chowder
6 cups chopped sweet onions (4 large onions)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (one stick) or margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
12 cups chicken or vegetable stock

10 cups corn kernels, fresh (10 ears) or frozen (approx. 3 pounds)
2 cups half and half (substitute using non-fat, half and half, regular milk or skim milk)
1/2 pound sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
In a large soup pot on medium heat add the onions and butter and cook for 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and turmeric and cook for 3 minutes. Add the stock and potatoes, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob and blanch them for 3 minutes in boiling salted water. Drain. (If using frozen corn you can skip this step.) Add the corn to the soup, then add the half-and-half and cheddar. Cook for 5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Spooky Potpies

Ingredients :
PIECRUST
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup frozen sweet butter, cut in small chunks
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
11 tbsp. ice water
FILLING
2 1/2 medium onions, chopped
4 celery stalks, diced
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups frozen baby peas
3 cups carrots, peeled, chopped and cooked (about
5carrots)
2 medium potatoes, peeled, cubed and cooked
5 cups diced cooked chicken, turkey

7 tbsp. sweet butter
5 tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 1/2 cups chicken, vegetable or turkey stock
1/2 tsp. pepper
Salt to taste
1 egg, lightly beaten
Preparation :
TO MAKE THE PIECRUST:
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse the flour, salt, butter and vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle with the ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together, being careful not to let the dough form a ball. Remove the dough and press it into two disks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you make the filling. TO MAKE THE FILLING:
In a large saucepan, sauté the onions and celery in the olive oil over medium heat until soft. Add all the vegetables, and the chicken, turkey or ham, and set aside. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the stock until the sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pepper and salt. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables. Then pour the mixture into 10 individual ovenproof bowls or two 9-inch pie pans. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the piecrust on a lightly floured surface. Cover the 10 (or two) pies with the dough. Use a cookie cutter to cut spiders, bats, or pumpkins out of scraps of piecrust. Lightly brush the egg onto the piecrusts and place a character  on top. Bake for 20 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles. It's a good idea to place a cookie sheet below the pies to catch any drips. Makes 10 to 12 servings.

Thanksgiving Molasses, Ginger, Chipoltle Carrots

Posted in Thanksgiving recipes.

I was looking through some old cookbooks looking for a few new Thanksgiving Recipes,  I came across this, Lately we have been using a lot of chipotle peppers in our food ..It really can give it a great new taste. So I thought this would really work

Glazed carrots are overcooked and mushy, the glaze is too sugary, and  no one really eats the cooked carrots except for your grandmother..  This changes it up a bit and really makes cooked carrots and added treat for Thanksgiving !As long as you cook the carrots barely to al dente (until they can just be pierced with a knife or fork), the rest will take care of itself here.

 

INGREDIENTS
  • 4 pounds carrots ( organic)
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons light molasses
  • 3 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 small can of chipotle peppers in sauce  (you may need to chopped the peppers)
INSTRUCTIONS

Peel carrots and slice them on the bias (at about a 45-degree angle) into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (you should have about 10 cups). Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook carrots until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. (If making ahead, drain the carrots and cool in ice water to halt cooking. Drain and refrigerate until ready to finish the recipe.)

Return carrots to the pot over medium-low heat, and add butter, sugar,chipotle, molasses, and ginger. Cook until carrots are warmed through and glazed, approx 5-15 minutes. Add some  freshly ground black pepper. 

Enjoy

the tomatoes. Yield: 5 portions

Ingredients
10 each Favorite bread, sliced ¼ inch
¼ cup Olive oil
2 tsp. Black pepper, freshly cracked
16 ounces Camembert (or Brie) cheese, sliced ¼
inch thick, about 16 slices

making sure the cheese comes all the way to the edge of
the crust. Lay the top slice on each of the sandwiches and
move them together so they are crust to crust. Cover all the
sandwiches with a layer of plastic wrap and place a medium
cutting board on top of the sandwiches to gently weigh them
down for 15 minutes.
3. Using a pastry brush, thoroughly brush the surface of both faces

heat. Wipe surface with a little oil. Place the sandwiches in the
press or in the sauté pan and cook until slightly browned, about
2 to 3 minutes per side until the cheese is melted. Keep the heat
low so you do not burn the bread.
5. for the tomato soup: In a medium saucepan, combine the olive
oil, onions, and garlic and cook over low heat together for about
20 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the
tomatoes and cook another 15 minutes.
6. Add the stock and basil leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook gently
for 20 minutes to develop the flavor.
7. Strain the soup into a large bowl through a china cap or other
fine strainer, or a food mill, to remove seeds, skins, and basil.
Season passed soup to taste with kosher salt and cayenne pepper.
8. Serve the tomato soup hot with the warm sandwiches. Drizzle a
generous amount of the extra virgin oil over the top of the soup
along with a few small basil tops, and enjoy.
