Kasha Tomato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a stockpot or large saucpan over medium heat.
• Add onions, carrots, and celery.
• Sautee until onions are translucent and begining to turn golden, about 10 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, bay leaves, and water/stock.
• Bring boil, then reduce to low heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes.
• Stir in kasha, cover, and cook 20 minutes more or until kasha is tender.
• Remove and discard bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Place kombu in water for 10 minutes to reconstitute it. Remove kombu, chop and set aside, reserving water. Saute onions, carrots, cabbage, potatoes and mushrooms in oil in a large stockpot until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic powder, basil, kombu, reserved water, kasha, lima beans and sauerkraut and bring to a simmer. Remove 1/4 cup broth to a small bowl, dissolve miso in it and return mixture to stockpot. Simmer until beans and kasha are cooked, about 8 minutes. Serve hot. HINT: for more intense flavor, increase miso to 2-1/4 teaspoons.

Steps:

• Spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Mix kasha and egg white. Cook kasha and garlic in skillet 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until kernels separate and dry.
• Stir in broth, lentils and cumin. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kasha and lentils are tender. Stir in corn, olives and tomato. Cook until hot.
• Mix yogurt and mint. Spoon over kasha mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Combine water, salt, and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches the boil turn off heat and cover.
• Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and add kasha. Mix together until grains are thoroughly and evenly coated.
• Transfer to a medium-size, wide, heavy saucepan (I use Analon nonstick), place over high heat and stir egg-coated kasha constantly until grains are dry, smell toasty, and no egg is visible, 2 to 3 minutes. Add just-boiled water, turn heat to very low, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes for cracked kasha, 30 minutes for whole kasha, or until all of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.
• Remove lid from pan, place clean dish towel over pan (not touching the grains), and cover tightly. Let sit undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff and serve.

Steps:

• Place the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, while stirring to crumble, until almost cooked through. Drain the grease, and reduce heat to medium. Stir in the celery, green onions, and tomato. Cook until the celery is tender, and the beef is browned.
• Meanwhile, bring the beef broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add the bulgur wheat, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until tender. Stir the bulgur wheat into the vegetables and beef, and season with salt and cayenne pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray 13 x 9 pan with Pam.
• Mix Tomato soup, 1/2 soup can of water and diced tomatoes together in a bowl until blended.
• Place a layer of chopped cabbage on bottom of pan (about 1/2).
• Put 1/2 of chopped onions over cabbage.
• Crumble 1/2 of raw Ground Sirloin over onions and cabbage.
• Season with Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of Uncooked rice over this layer.
• Pour 1/2 of Tomato mixture over this layer.
• Repeat layers, ending with Rice and tomato mixture on top.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake for 1 hour covered, uncover and bake until liquid is reduced to your personal taste.
• We like ours with some juice.
• Served with fresh baked bread and butter, great comfort food on a cold (for Florida) night.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and fry for 8-10 mins until tender, but don't let them brown too much. Add the passata and tomatoes and bring to the boil. Add the stock, 200ml water and a pinch of sugar, then season and simmer for 20 mins. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning - add more water if you need to. Can be frozen at this point.
• Stir in the cream (if using) and the cooked pasta. Spoon into two or three bowls and top with cheese, basil or pesto - or all three.

Steps:

• 1. Sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of the margarine or chicken fat in a heavy frying pan with a cover until golden. Remove to a plate.
• 2. Beat the egg in a small mixing bowl and stir in the kasha. Mix, making sure all the grains are coated. Put the kasha in the same frying pan, set over a high heat. Flatten, stir, and break up the egg-coated kasha with a fork or wooden spoon for 2 to 4 minutes or until the egg has dried on the kasha and the kernels brown and mostly separate.
• 3. Add the water or bouillon, salt, and pepper to the frying pan and bring to a boil. Add the onions, cover tightly, and cook over low heat, steaming the kasha for 10 minutes. Remove the cover, stir, and quickly check to see if the kernels are tender and the liquid has been absorbed. If not, cover and continue steaming for 3 to 5 minutes more.
• 4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain.
• 5. When the kasha is ready, combine with the noodles. Adjust the seasoning, sprinkle with the parsley and coriander. If desired, add a bit more margarine or chicken fat.
