Hearty Winter Borscht

Copyright 2014 Jacqueline Peppard

This is a hearty winter borscht that is served hot. The bacon gives it a wonderful smoky flavor.  Traditional borscht usually contains potatoes, but I have substituted celery root instead.

8 servings

Right around Halloween, I stock up on small sized pumpkins and sugar pumpkins, the ones perfect for making soup and pie. I gradually bake up all of them and freeze for future use over the holidays and throughout the winter. Mashing and freezing them in 2 cup increments offers flexibility to make most pie, pudding, or soup recipes. You may use steamed or canned pumpkin, but it doesn’t have any where near the flavor of oven roasted pumpkin. Butternut squash is available all winter and a great stand in for pumpkin. Rule is for every cup pureed squash, add 1 cup broth.

Ingredients:

2 cups diced yellow onions (about 1 onion)

2 apples peeled and chopped

Panang – Thai Red Curry

Copyrighted 2013 by New Era Healthy Eating All Rights Reserved

Serves 6

This is one of my all time favorite recipes. The fragrance that arises from the spices, the contrasting colors, and the rich texture of the coconut on the tongue provides a multi-sensory experience. This is my comfort food! The coconut red curry is a great base for any type of meat or fermented soy product you would like to throw in for protein. I like to make the coconut soup base and throw in meat as I need it, for example, a half cup of cooked frozen baby shrimp put on the bottom of a bowl, and then ladle hot Panang on top. The hot soup defrosts the shrimp in a flash. Or maybe, stir-fried chicken/beef, pot roast, or maybe oven roasted chicken thighs thrown in whole. Easy!

Authentic Thai seasoning is what makes the dish, Galangal, Kaffir Lime Leaves, and Red Curry Paste.
