I make a wonderful vegetable soup from the old Foods of the World
series, The Great West volume. It is called Dill soup, as dill is
added towards the end.

It calls for, a mirepoix of celery, carrots, and onions, then tomatoes
are added, then diced potatoes. Then stock. And cauliflower, green
beans, and green peas. Then the dill sprigs at the last.

I sometimes vary this by adding basil instead of the dill, or putting
a dollop of pesto in it when it is served. That, and grated Parmesan,
make for a wonderful soup.

Consider adding 1 or all of okra or brocolli or cauliflower.

Are you going to brown the beef bones in a hot oven for best color and
taste of the broth? If so consider roasting some of the root veggies in
your soup as well.

I love cabbage in vegetable soup. When I was in kindergarten, I
checked out a Peter Rabbit or Beatrix Potter cookbook. It had a
recipe for Farmer McGregor's vegetable soup which contained cabbage.
I had never had cabbage in vegetable soup before. My mom made it for
me and I have loved cabbage in my vegetable soup ever since.

Tara, I have to agree with you. I love cabbage in my vegetable soup, but DH
doesn't. Since I'm such a wuss, I never put cabbage in the soup. I could
eat fried cabbage with a little onion in it, almost every day, too. DH buys
cabbage because he says he's going to make cole slaw. Usually it just sits
in the frig until it's thrown out. I want my fried cabbage!
I think I'm going to start making MYSELF some cabbage when I make him
broccoli, of which I'm not that fond, but he is. Good solution.
Tara, is your name an "India" name? I just got thru watching a film and the
person's name was Tara.

Dee, try fine sliced China Cabbage in your soup to share with DH, it's
flavor is much less bitter-strong. Add thin slices of Golden Beets to
the mix, and chop the inner, younger beet tops into the pot last along
with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

My world famous vegetable soup contains more or less most veggies, depending on
what is in the fridge when I make it. Diced beef, carrots, fresh green beans,
diced potatoes, corn (whole ear cut about 1 inch thick, yields about 8 pieces),
cabbage, peas, barley (lots of it), celery and as I said before, any other
veggie that was left over from a salad. When the soup is done, I puree about
1/3 and pour it back into the pot and let set for about 10 more minutes, this
thickens the soup - never have liked runny soups.

Good idea -- a few weeks ago he made a recipe with chinese cabbage. It
actually was a fried rice recipe with chinese cabbage. It had an egg and
some other things in it, but he used a full head (small) of cabbage and it
was down-right delicious. I can't recall if there was a little shrimp in it
or not.
Chinese cabbage is something we both can eat, so I'll try it next time. I
agree with him that regular cabbage in a soup can seem overpowering. We
both like beets, and I've seen golden beets lately and wondered what I would
do with them differently than I do with regular beets -- now you've supplied
me with an answer.
Thanks,

I'm with your aunt. I use diced tomatoes in mine, too, after running
the stick blender through them.

Instead of puree-ing, or even in addition to puree-ing, perhaps a little
added polenta (2 or 3 tablespoons) will change the consistency of your soup,
or even add some parmesan reggiano rinds or grana padano cheese rinds, they
will thicken it up. I don't know how the cheese will go with diced beef,
though. I usually use the cheese only in vegetable soups without meat.

Tomatoes, carrots, onions, celery, potatoes (any kind), peas, green
beans, cabbage, sometimes baby limas....and I'm trying to think what
else....definitely not corn.

Onions, definitely onions. And a little flat leaf parsley - use curly if you
prefer it. Sometimes the tops of green onions.
If my vegetable soup has a strong tomato flavor, I like a little corn in it.
I prefer a little bit of peas to limas. If I use green beans, I cut them
small.

I don't like Campbell's style. I prefer a minestrone, along with the
veggies you mention (gotta have bell peppers too), leafy greens, kidney
beans, pasta, and cheese.

For minestrone you also need some diced zucchini and cannelli beans but
plain old Navy or Great Northern white beans will work. Spinach serves well
for the leafy greens but I've even used turnip greens with good results.
For the cheese I prefer grated Pecorino Romano.

I start with V8 juice, browned bones with marrow (if possible), beef
base, beef, onions, garlic, bay leaf, basil & celery.
When the meat is cooked and approaching tender, I add:
diced tomatoes, carrots, rutabega, parsnips, & potatoes.
Later when the hard veggies are close to being tender, I add whole
fresh green beans, snow or sugar snap peas, maybe zuchinni or summer
squash. The last thing that goes in is usually finely shredded cabbage.
The whole kit and caboodle gets served with light sour cream and "hard"
soup dumplings.

I am incapable of making less than two gallons of soup.

Kimberly,

You've got plenty of suggestions on vegies to use in your soup, but the
one vegie that I have found to make the biggest difference in a soup or
stew is butternut squash. You could substitute other winter squashes,
but butternut is my favorite.

And here's an odd one: I sometimes add some fresh squeezed orange
juice to vegie soup. I don't add enough to be able to really identify
the taste, it just adds a bit of fruitiness. I add about two or three
oranges worth to a big pot. That idea should get me thrown out of the
group, but give it a try.

Oranges are an interesting addition; so is pineapple although I don't keep
pineapples around for when I plan to make soup. I usually have an orange or
a lemon in the fridge, so why do you think the idea so ridiculous? Citrus
fruit is used in a lot of sauces and marinades; no reason not to add it to
soup as well.

And I totally concur on your recommendation for butternut squash. I adore
butternut squash soup.

You wouldn't happen to have a recipe for a good minestrone would you,
Sheldon? I've only recently discovered that I like it! I'd definitely be
interested in making it, but I prefer recipes that are tried and true

I use carrots, celery, corn, green beans, peas, cabbage, tomatoes and
(sometimes) turnip. I don't use potatoes in my veggie soup - probably
because my gramma didn't, and that's who taught me how to make this!

I can either make it vegetarian (vegetable stock or tomato/V8 Juice as the
liquid) or beef- based (leftover roast and beef stock.) Depends on what I
have on hand.

When I make a beef veg soup, I sometimes cook a bit of turnip in a
small amount of water on the side and puree it with the liquid to add to
the broth......For Chicken soup, I add, besides the vegs, etc, a tiny
sprinkle of cinnamon....Sharon

I know this will not be funny, but its how minds can play tricks. I bought
this movie and had it around for a long, long time before I watched it the
other night. I had been referring to this movie as "Tara, queen of the
Elephants." Here is an excerpt I just found stating that the elephant
keeper's name was Parbati, not Tara. "Author Mark Shand and Parbati Barua
(a Rajah's daughter and elephant driver) make a 300-mile journey by elephant
through the forests of India."

I confused her name with a famous elephant named Tara. Oh, my.
Sorry, Tara.
What a case I am.
Dee Dee

I like pureed tomatoes, onions, celery, green peppers, and small diced
sweet potato in my vegetable soup. The sweet potatoes give a slightly
different taste than carrots. I also love cabbage.

Tara in Sanskrit means "Star", it is a common girl's name in India.
There is also a female boddhisattava Tara - the Goddess of compassion in
Buddhism, it is a Tibetan name too. So, Dee Dee, you were not way off in
assuming it could be an Indian name.

What does "Tara" mean in the western context?

- Kamala.

Perhaps Tar in the context of Gone with the Wind is a *******ization of word
terra, or land-earth. Wasn't their land called, Tara?

Beautiful -- now we have a pleasant combination -- singing star.

My beautiful dog - Akita, I named her "Hoshi" and even had her name carved
in aluminum on her kennel gate. In Japanese, Hoshi means Star; she was!

Good memory, Sharon. I've seen it a number of times, too.
Now, I'm wondering again -- wonder if the family 'land' was called Tara,
(terra=earth,dirt, etc) as we might call a ranch, "Bonanza," or if the
family name was Tara -- probably the former?

Actually, the part about the Irish land being Tara came from the
sequal, where Scarlett goes to Ireland after Rhett leaves her after
Melanie's death. It was the actual name of some land there, as in
possibly a fictional county called Tara. I don't know if there is
actually a county called that. ........Sharon

Tara was the ancient seat of the high kings of Ireland. In Gone With
the Wind, Scarlett's Irish father named his Georgia plantation after
the ancient Tara.
