Hi Heidi! Here is my favorite green recipe:
ReplyDeleteCreamy Asparagus Soup
(from All Recipes)
Ingredients
* 1 pound fresh asparagus
* 3/4 cup chopped onion
* 1/2 cup vegetable broth
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 pinch ground black pepper
* 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth
* 1 cup soy milk
* 1/2 cup yogurt
* 1 teaspoon lemon juice
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Place asparagus and onion in a saucepan with 1/2 cup vegetable broth. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer until the vegetables are tender.
2. Reserve a few asparagus tips for garnish. Place remaining vegetable mixture in an electric blender and puree until smooth.
3. Melt butter in the pan that was used for simmering the asparagus and onions. Stir while sprinkling flour, salt, and pepper into the butter. Do not let the flour brown. Allow the mixture to cook only 2 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 1/4 cups vegetable broth and increase the heat. Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil.
4. Stir the vegetable puree and milk into the saucepan. Whisk yogurt into the mixture, followed by lemon juice. Stir until heated through, then ladle into bowls. Garnish with reserved asparagus tips. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

ReplyDeleteand I'm a long time google reader-er, and am now officially "following" you on google.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time visiting your site and I'm so glad that I've found it. My favorite green meal is usually breakfast-for-dinner...with lots of green food coloring. Nothing fancy -- just very simple and green.
ReplyDeleteBut, if I was in the mood to make a yummy green soup it would be Martha's Pureed Broccoli Soup: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/pureed-broccoli-soup-

ReplyDeleteI just recently found your site so I really haven't tried that many recipes from here YET! However, the spiced cilantro chicken and mango rice might have to be the green dish I try. :)
ReplyDeleteI like to add spinach to dishes to make them green and to give more nutrients.

ReplyDeleteI have two favorite green meals served in honor of St. Patrick's day ... first, green pancakes for breakfast. A hit among the kids! The second is actually not green, but it beats corned beef and cabbage which I've never made successfully. My friend (who has Irish heritage) makes scrumptious Potato soup with Irish soda bread. This has become our celebration dinner. Great blog, Heidi! Julie Scott Roberts (jrobertsjsr@yahoo.com)
