Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
One of the best things about making homemade soup is that they are flexible and you can change the entire taste with a few changes in spices. Here are a few:
- Tex Mex – add 1 tbsp of chili powder (maybe more if you like it spicy), give it a squeeze of lime, and top it with crushed tortilla chips.
- Curried Squash Soup – Add 1 tbsp yellow curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and you have a wonderful Curried Squash Soup. Serve it with a slice of naan or your favorite flatbread.
- Veggie Squash Soup – Roast some carrots and cauliflower with the squash and apples and blend it all together and you have a creamy veggie soup. Hint: this is a great way to hide vegetables from those non-vegetable eaters.
- Make it creamier by substituting 1/2 cup of the chicken stock with 1/2 cup of cream or half-n-half.
- Top the soup with gruyere cheese, nuts, or croutons.
