Taco Soup:
Waaaay back when, I used to work for TGI Fridays and everything was made from scratch. I was the soup/sauce man for many years. One of their signature soups was their Brocolli Cheese soup. It was awesome when made right (many people make it too thick). I'll try to find the recipe or at least come up with a basic idea.Broccoli Cheese
chicken stock
chopped up broccoli florets
shredded cheddar
maybe a little cream or half & half
spices, herbs and what-not
Made up a batch of this last night and it was damn good!.....
edit: SOB, I've been looking for a good minestrone recipe for a while (I LOVE minestrone). I have to ask though, why the cabbage? I can't recall it being in any minestrone I've ever eaten.
Brown hamburger. Drain into a seperating cup and pour off the liquid for use in the soup. Reserve the grease for later cooking.Brown hamburger. Drain grease.
Revvy: While I don't have a good split-pea recipe, if I was going to make it, I would approach it much like making navy bean/great northern with ham.
Basically I'd sautee some onion/garlic, toss it in a crockpot with dried beans, salt and pepper, and a ham hock/ham/etc and cook it on low until the peas were where you wanted them (in this case basically mush). I usually also toss a bay leaf and a tiny bit of thyme in with beans/stew and quite possibly some crumbled up bacon.
edit: With some water or other cooking liquid in there of course.
Does anyone have a great split pea with ham recipe?

You're throwing away some mighty good stuff if you just toss it imo. Your recipes look great though!
8 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups milk
1/2 cup chopped green onion(scallion)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1.Place cubed potatoes into a glass dish, and cook in the microwave oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until soft.
2.While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually stir in the milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
3.Stir in the potatoes and onion, and cook for 5 more minutes. Stir in the sour cream and Cheddar cheese until melted and well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
4.Garnish with chopped scallion, shredded cheddar, and bacon
Simple and easy, less than 30 minutes, and very tasty. 12 servings(or 3 manly servings)
I made this last night. Doubled recipe b/c we had family over. It was awesome. Will be finishing it tonight. Only thing I would change is IMO it needs some garlic.
