Houston’s Canadian Cheese Soup Recipe

by jughandle June 14, 2020

written by jughandle

Houston’s Canadian Cheese Soup – If you are as old as I am you might remember when Houston’s restaurants came to Atlanta. They started in Nashville. My brother worked there for a while and was able to get me the recipe for their amazing cheese soup. I don’t know if they even serve the soup anymore but it is incredible.

This rich, hearty soup can be a meal in itself with a nice French or Italian bread. It is my go to comfort food on a cold winter day.

When my brother got the recipe it was 5 gal sized. I have reduced it to a more manageable size. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. – jughandle

Houston's Canadian Cheese Soup

My brother Jim used to work in the kitchen at Houston's and he gave us the ingredients for this recipe. We had to figure out the quantities because he had to make it 5 gals at a time.

Beef crockpot Rice Noodles Soup Stock Pot Vietnamese Food

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup

by jughandle June 24, 2019

written by jughandle

aka Beef Noodle Soup

Vietnamese Pho Bo Soup is Beef Noodle Soup with a twist. This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and is warming on a cold winter night. – jughandle

The Origins of Pho

Pho was born in Northern Vietnam during the mid-1880s. The dish was heavily influenced by both Chinese and French cooking. Rice noodle and spices were imported from China; the French popularized the eating of red meat. In fact, it is believed that “pho” is derived from “pot au feu” a French soup. Vietnamese cooks blended the Chinese, French and native influences to make a dish that is uniquely Vietnamese.

Authentic Pho Bo Soup

This authentic pho isn't quick, but it is delicious. The key is in the broth, which gets simmered for at least 6 hours.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 pounds bones assorted soup bones
2 carrots chopped, medium size
2 stalks celery chopped, medium size
1 onion cut in half with the skin left on
2 cloves garlic skin left on
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
1 tsp oregano dried, or 2 tsp fresh
1 tsp thyme dried, or 2 tsp fresh
1/2 tsp sage dried
8 cups of water enough water to come to 1-inch below MAX fill line

Instructions

Place the bones in the Instant Pot, filling it about half full with bones.
Add in the vegetables, herbs, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns and salt.
Fill the Instant Pot with water to 1-inch below the MAX fill line.
Make sure your sealing ring is in place on the lid. Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the "sealing" position.
Press the "manual" button and set your Instant Pot for high pressure for 120 minutes. (I find it easier to decrease the time because the timer resets at 120 after you decrease to zero.)
It will take about 15-30 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to full pressure, then the display will show a countdown timer.
Once the two hours is up, allow the pressure to release naturally. It will take about 15-30 minutes, then the float valve will drop.
Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a strainer and cool.
A good broth will usually have a layer of fat on the top, and will gelatinize when thoroughly cool.
Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.

Notes

RECIPE NOTES
Your Instant Pot bone broth will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, I like to freeze 1-cup portions for easy use in recipes.

Ingredients

To do the day before:

1 bag dried white pinto beans or buy 2- 12 oz cans
12 cups chicken stock low sodium - make your own or used boxed
1/2 lb chicken you made the stock with or cook and shred 2 chicken breasts

To make the soup:

1 large yellow or white onion diced small -1/4 inch
1/2 green bell pepper diced small -1/4 inch
1/2 red bell pepper diced small -1/4 inch
1 carrot diced small -1/4 inch
3 cups Italian bread croutons about 1/2 loaf Italian bread cut into 1/2 inch crouton size chunks
2 Tbsps olive oil extra virgin
1/4 tsp oregano dried or 1 tsp fresh
1/4 tsp thyme dried or 1 tsp fresh
1 tsp kosher salt to taste
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground is best
3 cups of fresh spinach Clean, dry and chop into 1 inch squares
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese grate your own don't use box cheese.

Instructions

The day before:

Soak 1 bag of dried white pinto beans over night or buy 2- 12 oz cans
Make or buy 8 to 12 cups of low sodium chicken stock
Shred about 1/2 lb or more of the chicken you made the stock with or cook and shred 2 chicken breasts

To make the soup:

In a large pot saute 1 large yellow or white onion, diced small -1/4 inch
Also saute 1/2 green and 1/2 red bell pepper and 1 carrot diced to the same size as the onion
Saute until soft – about 5 minutes
Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil
throw in 3 cups of the pinto beans
Cook the beans at a soft boil until they are almost tender – about 45-60 minutes
While the beans are cooking in the broth, cube the Italian bread into 1/2 inch crouton size chunks
Lightly toss the croutons in a large bowl with 2 T olive oil and 1/4 t of oregano and 1/4 t of thyme salt and pepper to taste
Pour the croutons on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until brown and crunchy, turning once or twice to brown all sides – don’t burn them Darlene.
Clean, dry and chop into 1 inch squares, 3 cups of fresh spinach
When the beans are almost soft enough to eat add the spinach
Cook another 20 minutes
Then add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and all of the chicken
Cook another 20 minutes

Notes

Now, this is very important – taste the soup – what does it need?
If it is bland add a little salt and a dash of Tabasco pepper sauce (just a dash, we’re not trying to make it spicy) and a dash of Worcestershire sauce
If the flavor just sits there and you can’t make out the different ingredients, add 1 T white vinegar and/or the juice of 1 lemon to brighten the flavors
Stir it well and taste it again. It should be great – if not adjust the seasonings as needed
Add 1/2 cup of croutons to a bowl or large cup and ladle the soup over them.
Top with more freshly grated Parmesan
