Roasted Carrot Soup

This is a great soup for kids and babies.

By Elizabeth Savoie Dronet

2 onions
6 peeled carrots or 1 1/2 lbs of baby carrots
1 1/2 Tbs olive oil

4 cups vegetable broth
Sour cream

Preheat oven to 425.  Roughly chop or slice carrots and onions.  In a roasting pan, mix the onions, carrots, oil, 1/4 cup water, salt (not too much because the broth is salty), and pepper.  Cover with foil and roast for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and roast for another 30 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Put mixture into a soup pot.  Add some broth to the roasting pan to gather up any bits still clinging on.  Add the rest of the broth to the pot.  Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.  Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream.

Cheese Tortellini and Spinach Soup

I attended Our Lady’s School in the 1980s.  In second grade, I met Sarah.  There’s nothing like a best friend who loves you no matter what.

adapted from a recipe by Sarah — Elizabeth’s best friend

1 box frozen spinach
1/2 large onion chopped
1 can rotel
1 box of refrigerated cheese tortellini (can use frozen)
5 cups veggie broth (2 veggie cubes to 5 cups water)
Tony’s to taste

Parmesan cheese
2 eggs

In a soup pot, cook down spinach and onions until most of the moisture is gone. Throw in the rotel, broth, and Tony’s to taste.  When it boils, add the tortellini.  Once it’s done, mix two eggs with the Parmesan cheese until you have a chunky texture.  Drizzle it over the soup and let it cook into a cheesy topping.

Serve with garlic bread.

Tomato Basil Pesto Soup

Recipe adapted from Tombstone Restaurant in Frostburg, Maryland where Elizabeth visited as a Phi Mu Chapter Consultant.

Combine equal parts of diced tomatoes and tomato sauce.  I use Hunt’s Four Cheese.  Heat.  Add fresh or dried basil and oregano to taste.  Add whipping cream until the soup turns light orange.  Add Parmesan cheese to taste.  May need a sprinkle of salt depending on tomato sauce base.
