The Soup Thread

For some reason, I've never been a soup-maker. Well, until I joined THP. Can't explain it; it just is. At any rate, experimented with a new one tonight, and started thinking there may well be many of you who make not-just-ordinary soup and want to share. Here's tonight's creation. Sorry for the dark pic!

Ingredients:

4 Leeks, sliced thin
2 Yams (small), cut into small cubes
1/4 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Flour
3 Cloves Garlic
3 Poblano peppers
3 Jalapeno peppers
Bell pepper
11 oz can Corn
Can Artichoke hearts
26 oz Chicken stock
1/2 Quart Half and Half
Cayenne powder
Cumin
Oregano
Mace
Sea Salt
Roasted chicken, shredded
Fresh Cilantro
6 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Melt the butter over medium-high heat, add leeks and yams, sauteé until the leeks are soft. Add the flour, and stir to combine. Add garlic and seasonings to taste (except cilantro), then the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and let cook until it starts to thicken. Reduce the heat to medium, then add everything else. Continue to cook until bubbly and the veggies are at the desired level of done-ness.

I hope you give this a try - it's good!
 
Another leftover turkey soup FTW!!!
 
I made a broth with 1/2 a turkey breast & carcass, added a bouillon cube, deboned it and set the meat aside while getting the other ingredients. 
Sauteed onions, celery and carrots in EVOO till tender
2 bay leaves, a pinch of thyme and parsley
Leftover green bean casserole, about 2 cups
left over corn, 1 cup
1 cup of Rotini noodles
salt and pepper to taste

Added everything and simmered 30 minutes, added noodles and simmered again till soft and served with homemade Ciabatta garlic bread and Ghost pepper salt.
