Kneaders Knock-off

I ate lunch with my mom and sisters at Kneaders a few weeks ago.  They had this delicious roasted pepper corn soup.  I found this knock off recipe somewhere, I am not sure where.  I finally got around to making it and the soup is so yummy.


Roasted Pepper Corn Soup

Saute
3 TB butter
1 chopped onion
3 cloves minced garlic

Add
2 tsp cumin
8 cups corn, fresh or frozen
2 chopped potatoes
5 cups chicken stock
pinch of sugar
Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes

Add
1 cup milk
3 roasted red chopped peppers
salt and pepper to taste.

Eat.

There are lots of ways to roast peppers.  In the oven, on a grill, or on a gas stove.  I usually use the oven, rub them with oil, roast at 375* till browned. Or you could add any chopped peppers.  I've used regular hot peppers from the garden too.

Pumpkin Soup

I really like soup.  I like that the prep and cook is all in one pot.  I like that you only have to have a bowl and spoon to eat it.  I like it the whole year through.  Even during the 100+ degree weather during the summer.

This is one of my favorite smooth soups.  It is so easy to make and so delicious.  My sister made a similar one from the Pioneer Woman's blog then told me about how much she liked it.  I thought she gave me Ree Drummond's exact recipe but I looked for it, she has a pumpkin soup that looks yummy but it's not the same.  So here is the one I wrote down..it's a little different but I like it.

Pumpkin Soup

Cook pumpkin or squash (I've made it with zucchini too) until tender.  Usually whole or cut in half and place cut side down on a cookie sheet.  Roast until inside is tender, this depends on the size of your pumpkin.  Usually it takes 30-60 minutes at 375*. Or just use some canned pumpkin.

Saute
1 small onion
till tender

Add
3 TB butter
3 TB flour
whisk for 1-2 minutes till butter is melted and all is incorporated.

Add
3 cups milk (or cream if you feel like it)
whisk until thick.

Add
3 cups pureed or canned pumpkin or squash
1-2 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy.
