Potato Penne Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel, rosemary and sugar and cook 10 minutes, until fennel is tender and golden brown. Stir in the sweet potatoes.
• Whisk together chicken broth, milk, and flour. Gradually add to skillet and simmer 3 minutes, until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Add the pasta and stir to coat. Stir in Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper and cook until heated through, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the potatoes, water, onion and bouillon; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook until spinach is wilted and mixture is heated through.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the onions for a few mins. Add the carrots, celery and garlic, then fry for 5 mins, stirring until the vegetables start to soften.
• Add the meat and stir well so it breaks down as it cooks. Once it's turned brown, add the passata and bouillon along with 1.3 litres of boiling water. Add the paprika, thyme and some black pepper. Cover the pan and simmer for 15 mins.
• Tip in the penne and cook for 12-15 mins until tender. Stir through the cheese, then ladle into bowls. Sprinkle over extra cheese, if you like.
• If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve two portions on the first day. Cool the remaining soup, remove the thyme and chill. Will keep for up to seven days. Reheat in a pan, adding some water if it's thickened.

Steps:

• Start by boiling potatoes until fork tender.
• When potatoes are done, strain out the water and add butter.
• When butter is melted, add flour. Stir gently to make a paste between butter and flour. The paste will coat the potatoes.
• Add Milk.
• Gently stir. Allow the pot to boil. When it reaches boil, turn down to simmer.
• Simmer on low till soup thickens.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Use a fork to poke holes into 1 sweet potato. Wrap the sweet potato in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, until fork-tender.
• Peel and dice the other sweet potato into 1-centimeter (½ inch) cubes.
• Carefully scoop the pulp of the cooked sweet potato into a food processor or blender. Add about 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and blend under smooth. Add a splash of water if the puree is too thick.
• In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms start to crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Add 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper to the mushrooms and remove from the heat. Drain the mushrooms of excess oil in a paper towel-lined bowl.
• Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and sage to the pan and cook until brown bits start to form on the bottom, being very careful to not burn the butter.
• Once slightly brown, remove the sage and add the cubed sweet potato and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes, until the potato becomes tender.
• Stir in the reserved purée and chicken stock. Simmer for two minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the mixture comes together smoothly.
• Add the penne and mushrooms and coat evenly in the sauce.
• Finish the pasta with 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sherry wine vinegar, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
• Serve warm, garnished with chives, crushed amaretti cookies, and more Parmesan.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel, cube, boil, drain and "mush" potatoes to the consistency you like (I like them lumpy, but my kids like smaller pieces).
• In separate pan, melt butter, add flour and cook while stirring for about a minute or so.
• Add half the milk and stir until lumps are out of flour mixture.
• Add remaining milk and on med-high heat, heat to a boil.
• Stir almost constantly or it will scorch.
• After boiling, turn heat off and add remaining ingredients.
