I cooked lentil soup:
Heat a little olive oil in the pot
Add spice seed mix: cumin, black cumin, fennel, fenugrek, brown mustard, coriander. Roast the spices briefly.
Add water, red lentils, ground cardamom, ground turmeric. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 20 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste when serving.

I made Magnus Nilson’s Swedish split pea soup, with a slight modification.
-A few pork hooves
-yellow spilt peas
-cloves
-dry-ish ginger
-thyme sprigs
-Bay leaves
-white pepper
-salt

I pressure cooked the peas first, then slow cooked everything else for 2 hours

Hi!  I made a pork and bean soup that was made from pork chop bones, left over pork, baked potatoes, white beans (prepared from dry), carrots, onions, and spices to taste.

The broth was made by tossing roasted pork chop bones, carrots, and onions into the slow cooker for about 20 hours.  Once that had simmered down to a nice quantity I filtered out the bones and veggie bits.  

Meanwhile I soaked the beans overnight and boiled them until soft to add to soup later.

About an hour before serving I added seasoning and cut up carrots to toss into the broth to cook.  I added beans and baked potato and pork at the end to bring it all to the same temperature before serving.

It served two adults and two kids with lots leftover!

This soup consisted of sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bone broth, coconut aminos, sage, oregano, bay leaf, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, and salt. Cut up pork sausages were added at the end.

Tonight I made Tikil Gomen.  Tweaked the recipe for what I had on hand.  Note: I ran out of turmeric and had thought to use a scoop of golden milk (pictured), but wondered if it might violate the "no mixes" rule; did not use it.  

What I used:
1/2 yellow onion, diced
a few green onions
1/4 cup olive oil
2 red potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
3 small carrots, chopped at an angle
Salt and pepper to taste
half a dozen "scrapes" of fresh ginger
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 head green cabbage, roughly chopped into bite-size pieces
1/2 fresh pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced

Guessing it's the pan that has this hanging up.  They're marketed as medical stone, eco-friendly, non-toxic (Jeetee cookware).  If need be, I will redo these in cast iron or stainless steel.

Butternut Squash Soup - we love to make this soup in the fall with squash from the local market. I think I would double it next time. And I also used my homemade chicken broth.

Ingredients:
2 lb butternut squash
1 med onion, sliced into wedges
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup raw milk/heavy cream

1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
2. Put squash cubes, onion, and garlic cloves on a large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and drizzle oil over top. Use your hands to toss everything around so it’s evenly coated.
3. Roast for 35–40 minutes on a lower oven rack, tossing things around with a spatula a couple of times during cooking.
4. Transfer roasted items to a medium to large soup pot. Add chicken broth and heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes and then blend it with an immersion blender until smooth.
5. Stir in milk or cream. Top with diced apple and crumbled, cooked bacon, if desired.

Sorta recipe: First I used vegetable scraps to make a stock in the crockpot by simmering them and the removing them. The vegetable scraps I used included cilantro stems and bell pepper core, so I knew from the outset I was making a riff on chicken tortilla soup. I added leftover green/klamata olive brine to it for salt.

Then I added chicken thighs to the liquid and simmered them until the bone pulled out easily.  I removed the skin and the bones and chopped them up, returned them to the crockpot with the vegetables. (the holy trinity- pepper, onion and celery with tomato) If you aren't eating low carb I'd recommend adding sweet corn kernels.

Then I added a zucchini and spices including garlic, oregano, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and the juice of a lime.

Serve, topped with avocado (or cheese/sour cream if you have abundant dairy).

I am making Swedish Meat Stoup.  It's Swedish Meatball recipe but with ground turkey (not as meatballs but, mixed in), more vegetables with potatoes
instead of noodles (healthier).

Onion
Garlic
Parsley
Allspice
Nutmeg
Eggs
Potatoes
Carrots
Celery

Sauce:
Butter
Heavy Cream
Flour
Chicken Broth
salt
pepper
lemon juice
Allspice
Nutmeg

I mix the ground turkey, chopped onion, grated garlic, dried parsley, dried allspice and dried nutmeg.   I fry the mixture in a pot.  I remove the mixture and add olive oil, chopped potatoes, julienned carrots and chopped celery.  When done, remove from pot.  Melt butter in pan, add flour and cook for a minute.  Add chicken broth and mix thoroughly.  Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, allspice and nutmeg mixing well.  Add in Heavy cream and mix.  Return meat and vegetables to pot and simmer for 15 minutes to cook vegetables fully.
