Gingery cauliflower soup, from Madhur Jaffrey's 'Quick and Easy Indian Cooking'. This is a long-time favorite.

 

 

Stir fry onion, ginger, and garlic, and then add ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne. Mix in cauliflower florets, peeled and cubed red potato, and the last of Mrs. C's turkey stock. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, blend, and then finish with heavy cream.

 

Looks good. I do something very similar (flavour wise) with butternut squash.

Butternut squash sounds delicious

Another batch of squash soup. Peeled and roasted 2 delicata squash and 1 white-fleshed sweet potato. Sauteed diced red onion and garlic, peeled/chopped Granny Smith apple, added a carton of stock, seasonings, handful of raw cashews. Simmered a bit, added the roasted veg and juice from half an orange, simmered more until everything was soft and then blended it up. Very good, the orange juice is subtle in the background.

Zucchini and potato soup here.  Nothing exciting but tasty enough.  Next for red pepper soup and then carrot soup next.  Hmmm...then another batch of Hamburger Soup.  Livin' the dream.

 

Oh, and potato and bacon soup.

It's been a busy week dealing with a family matter so on Sunday I prepared a soup base of homemade chicken stock, ginger, garlic, Thai chilis and cilantro then added green onions, peppers, bamboo shoots, green beans and bok choy stems. Enough for 5 servings and easy to throw together for a dinner.

I also made wontons with a pork, cloud's ear, garlic chive and ginger filling.

Three of the variations with additions over the week:

Bok choy greens and chili crisp oil.

Shrimp roe noodles and shrimp with a sprinkling of green onion tops and cilantro.

Bok choy, haddock and chili crisp oil.

Yesterday I made up a batch of seafood chowder.

Softened small dice onion, celery and garlic  in butter. Set aside. Butter and flour to make a white roux then added back the onion/celery/garlic with black pepper, smoked paprika and summer savoury. Added whole milk to finish the base soup.

Added a can of drained rinsed clams, bay scallops, haddock and precooked and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes.

Simmered until the seafood was done then checked for seasoning.

Garnished with chives, Italian parsley and black pepper.

Had some pork left over from something else and a few pumpkin flowers (ditto). Souped them up with chicken stock from the freezer, garlic and ginger.

Butternut squash soup with coriander + lemon, made in the instant pot (recipe by Melissa Clark in Dinner in an Instant). It's surprisingly tasty - I made sure to brown the squash before cooking it in the liquid and that really helps develop the flavors. It has onion, coriander, lemon zest and lemon juice (added at the end). I didn't have fennel so I subbed a shallot and some fennel seeds. Garnished with cilantro and a thin drizzle of olive oil. The little reddish flecks are timur pepper (my addition to the recipe, and it worked very well with its lemony notes).
