Soup SuccessOn October 28, 2005, the Miller Brooks team served up untold
bowlfuls of steaming hot soup. In return, clients, vendors and
friends from near and far helped us raise over $4,000 for the
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
In short, our fourth annual Cook for the Cure Open House was a
rousing success.
To show our appreciation for all involved in cooking, serving,
donating and supporting a healthy cause, this cookbook is for you.
It’s a collection of 13 recipes from our able chefs, representing all
the soups that were available for sampling.
So, grab your stockpot, ingredients and trusty ladle and try all of
this at home. And by all means, please let us know if your soup’s a
success, too.

5
1 5 to 6 lb chicken
1 3 lb can chicken broth
2 4 oz cans sliced mushrooms (drained)
1 16 oz bag Reames frozen egg noodles
2 stalks of celery
2 carrots
Chicken boullion (optional)
Salt
Pepper
Boil chicken in water until tender and ready to fall off the bone. (I like
to cook it in a crock pot.) Remove chicken from water and separate from
bones, skin and any other undesirable parts. Strain water, which should
now be a nice broth. Place broth, chicken and canned chicken broth in
a large soup kettle and bring to a boil. Thinly slice celery and place into
boiling soup. Shave carrots into soup. Place drained mushrooms into
soup. Bring soup back to a boil and drop noodles into it. Cook until the
noodles are tender. I sometimes add chicken boullion to strengthen the
broth. Salt and pepper to taste.
*The actual name of this soup was held up in legal and was not approved in time for Cook for the Cure.
I was going to call it Chicken Noodle Soup, but our attorneys advised against it, citing the fact that
there are clearly more noodles than chicken. And if that doesn’t bend your spoon, they said I couldn’t
claim that my soup was “Mmmm mmmm good” because some brand-protective corporation would sue
our ladles off. So please enjoy this, uh, tasty liquid food stuff.

Beef Barley SoupSarah Lamberson
Project Management
3 lb beef roast
1 large onion
1 20 oz pkg frozen mixed veggies
(corn, carrots, limas, green beans)
1 16 oz pkg beef broth
1 small pkg sliced okra (optional)
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 10 oz pkg frozen baby limas
1 qt home-canned tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup instant barley
Water, as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
Put roast and quartered onion in crockpot, cover with water. Cook on low
overnight. Remove meat, strain and refrigerate broth until what fat is there
becomes solid on top. Remove fat by scraping the top of the broth. Tear
meat into bite size pieces, add broth, tomatoes and frozen veggies except
for okra. Add water as needed, season to taste. Allow to cook over medium
heat for 45 min. Add okra and barley. Water or more broth may need to be
added as barley cooks so that soup is not too thick. Cook until barley is
tender....
Other than that, grab a big spoon and have at it.

Sample recipe based on six people (or faeries):
Dice six potatoes, place in a soup pot and cover with water. Boil down
until half the water has evaporated. In a separate pan, sauté one chopped
yellow onion, two cloves of garlic, one cup of chopped celery and 1/4 cup
of basil. Combine contents of two pans and add milk to desired consistency.
This is not intended to be a heavy, thick soup. Therefore, you can’t really
add too much milk. Cook on medium heat until hot. Add salt, pepper and
parsley to taste.

Regular Joe’sSimple Pumpkin BisqueJoe Smith
Creative
(four servings)
1 1/2 Tb butter
1 small onion chopped
1 15 oz can pumpkin
(or, puree one cup + from fresh pumpkin)
1 can (13 3/4 oz) chicken broth
2 cups water
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the
onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about three minutes.
Add the pumpkin, chicken broth, two cups water and the cinnamon
and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for fi ve minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream. Gently heat the bisque
until hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the scallions
just before serving.

Chop and cook until just tender 1/2 pound of broccoli ( I used 3/4 pound).
{Tip: If you use the whole broccoli, cut off and cook the bottom stem fi rst
since it takes a little longer to soften. This avoids the broccoli head from
being overcooked too.} Set your broccoli aside to cool and chop into bite
size pieces. Sauté one chopped onion, 1/2 cup of chopped red pepper
(mild) and 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 3 tablespoons fl our (I used
heaping tablespoons) and cook until bubbly. Stir in 2 cups of chicken
broth gradually to make a smooth sauce; stir until thickened. When broth
is at desired thickness, start to put in 1/4 lb. of diced/cubed mild cheddar
cheese (I recommend buying the cheese block and cutting in cubes, melts
better) until the cheese begins to melt. Turn down to a simmer. Add 2 cups
of milk, broccoli, and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley. Season to taste with
salt and pepper; simmer a few minutes while still stirring. Add a pinch of
thyme or basil, if desired (I added a pinch of thyme). Makes 4-6 servings.
