Heavenly Soupsoup From Heaven Food

EGGS IN HEAVEN

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 350 degrees F.
• Place a heavy-bottomed saucepan over the direct-heat side of the grill. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peppers and cook until slightly softened, 2 more minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the vegetables. Stir in a third of the milk at a time, smoothing out any lumps, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the raw flour flavor to cook out.
• Whisk in the Cheddar and cream cheese and bring back to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the ham and nutmeg. Crack the eggs into the sauce, leaving spacing in between them. Move the pan to the indirect heat side of the grill and cover the grill with a lid. Cook until the eggs are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle all over with the chili flakes and serve.

HEAVENLY HEARTY AND HEALTHY SOUP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the turkey, celery, and carrots until turkey is done; drain. Add to a 3-1/2- to 4-quart electric crockery cooker.
• Stir in tomato juice, green beans, mushrooms, tomato, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, garlic powder, sugar, pepper, and bay leaf. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf.
• Remove and discard bay leaf. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

HEAVENLY POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• In the soup pot you are going to use, add the extra virgin olive oil, butter and diced onion and sauté on medium low heat for 15 minutes (until onion is translucent and start to caramelize). After onion is caramelized, take out of pot and set aside.
• In the same soup pot, add cut up bacon and cook until crisp on medium-high heat. Take out of pot and set aside.
• In the same soup pot (yes, again), add chicken broth, water and potatoes. Boil potatoes until almost soft - about 15 minutes.
• Take some of the broth/water in a bowl and add flour to make a roux.
• Add half and half, onion and half of bacon, heat soup to boiling, stirring occasionally.
• Slowly add roux to desired thickness and cook until potatoes are tender.
• Top with left over bacon, cheese and sour cream, if desired.
• Enjoy!

BEEF AND BARLEY SOUP: HEAVENLY, HEALTHY, AND HEARTY

Steps:

• Wash beef; pat dry with paper towels. Trim away any visible fat; season beef with salt and pepper (to taste). Cut into small bite-sized cubes.
• Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Transfer the beef to the hot butter and cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
• Add remaining ingredients to saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and continue cooking, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until barley is tender and beef is fork-tender.
• Remove the bay leaf and laddle into warmed soup bowls. Enjoy your soup as a meal complete unto itself or add a lightly-dressed fresh spinach salad and warm crusty french/italian bread.
• COOK'S TIP: For a delicious twist on traditional beef and barley soup, when it's done simmering stir in 4 cups of fresh baby spinach. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
