Jeff Matthews Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I just made the best broccoli, cheddar and pimiento soup ever, so I have to share this recipe. Ingredients: Yields about 8 cups. 1 head of broccoli, chopped into roughly 1" pieces 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese 1 4 oz jar pimientos 2 cups 2% milk 3/4 stick of real butter 4 cups broth (I use bullion cubes and mix in boiling water) 4 tbsp all purpose flour 1/2 a large yellow onion, chopped finely but not too small (not minced) 1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped finely (keep the seeds for a little kick) 2 sticks of celery, chopped finely 1/3 green bell pepper, chopped coarsely into roughly 3/4 - 1" squares 1/3 red bell pepper, chopped coarsely salt black pepper Directions: In a soup pan, melt 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) of butter. Once melted, stir in the flour, and as it warms up, it should become a nice, creamy mixture. As soon as it begins to bubble (boil), remove from heat and set aside. In a skillet, add onion, bell pepper, celery, jalapeno and 2 tbsp (1/4 stick) of butter. Sautee over medium heat until the onions start to brown. The vegetables should be nice and soft when ready. Do not over cook them. Set aside. In a sauce pan, add bullion cubes to 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and stir to be sure cubes are fully dissolved. In a blender, add the bullion and the 4 oz of pimientos. Pulse briefly about 6 or 7 times until the pimientos are chopped up and mixed well into the broth. Warm up the flour/butter mixture until it starts to bubble again. Then, add the milk. Bring to the beginning of a boil. Then, add the broth/pimientos. At the same time, add the sauteed vegetables and broccoli (the broccoli is still raw at this point and will soften within a few minutes after adding to the broth.) The mixture should be very warm, but it should not be boiling. After the broccoli begins to soften, add the 4 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese slowly and melt it into the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste. Here is a picture: Reference: See this video of a pimiento soup recipe for a visual. I basically watched the video and modified the recipe. This reference video shows a thicker soup, like a chowder. I added a greater broth/milk ratio to thin it down and make it more like a bisque. I think it is much better this way. Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I saw this yummy looking recipe being shared on FB so I tried making it. Cinnamon rolls on the top and bottom rather than pie crust. Not low calorie mind you..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Okay. I am not a baker but I learned two things making this pie. One.....you can roll the rolls out in both directions and they get even thinner ( did not do this on the bottom level but learned before the top level) and two.....too much cinnamon gives off some heat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I have been doing the Atkin's diet for a few days and got the craving for something sweet. In the past I have made do with sugar free jello with whipped cream. Decided to do a twist on the Atkin's cheese cake. Melted unsweetened chocolate bars over a double boiler and added some Stevia. Mixed the chocolate with 3 eight ounce packages of cream cheese and 6 eggs. Threw in some cacao powder and Acai powder. Still cooling...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
