I went online to see if i could find a recipe for this soup. I think many in ottawa remember the restaurant in the market. I found a recipe for their soup that was pretty vague. I've tweaked it over the years. It can be made gluten free by using gluten free beef stock and gluten free worchestershire sauce. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year (or Merry whatever you celebrate). It freezes really well too.


Daphne & Victor's Soup


Ingredients: 


3 bay leaves

1 lg can chopped tomatoes

1 can corn

1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can lentils, rinsed and drained

5Tbsp dried tarragon

1 Tbsp oregano

3 capfulls of worchestershire sauce, or to taste

2tsp salt

1tsp pepper

4tsp chopped garlic

1 large onion, chopped

3 stocks celery, chopped

3 med carrots, chopped

3 med parsnips, chopped

8 cups beef stock

1/4 cup butter


In a big pot melt butter. Add garlic over medium heat. Add large chopped onion, celery, carrot and parsnip. Cook stirring occasionally for no more than 5 minutes. You want the veggies to be still hard. Add everything else. Boil. Reduce heat. Cook for no more then 1/2 an hour over low med heat till veggies are just done. Serve with sour cream on top and salsa chips on the side.

My brother likes sausages to make it meatier so i partially cook 6 raw sausages 25 minutes (punctured by a for 3 times each and boiled)beforehand, chop them, and then add them 5 -10 minutes from the end.

1. I would use turnips in place of parsnips because

I love turnips.

[applegrove]

2. That would work. The parsnips are good with the tarragon though.

3. Ok, you convinced me. 😋

4. Yeah the tarragon is really strong. I would try the parsnips first and then

experiment with the turnip later. 5 Tbsps of tarragon is a lot of flavour if it doesn't mix with turnip.

5. Sounds Yum.

Will give it a try. Thanks for the recipe.

6. Found this gift belatedly (early?). Thanks, Applegrove.

7. If you want to add cooked sausage then take out some of the

lentils, beans and veggies as the soup will more than fill a pot. I add the already cooked sausages after piercing them 3 times with a fork and boiling the raw sausage for 25 minutes in another pot to get rid of fat, then draining them and chopping them. I make two pots of soup, one right after the other, and freeze the extra.

8. :) My husband will want sausage, and I'm fine with that also.

I love to freeze. Being empty nesters means I can tuck away a few or several meals at once without turning it into a project with giant mounds of chopped veggies. Just make the whole recipe, or maybe double it.

Merry Christmas,

9. Looks like it feeds 20 people!

Good thing it freezes well.

It does sound delicious

10. I split the veggies and beans and lentils and add 6 chopped already cooked sausages

near the end. Then i make another pot right away and add another 6 cooked sausages to that and the leftover veggies and all the other ingredients including bay leaves, stock and another can of tomatoes. Makes 8 servings per pot. Your choice if you want tons of veggies or tons of sausages.
