3 Delicious Low Calorie and Vegetarian Recipes For Bread, Cabbage, and Carrot Soup

By Molly Bickford

Bread Soup

  • ½ lb. of stale crusts of Allinson wholemeal bread
  • 4 onions
  • 2 turnips
  • 1 stick of celery
  • 1 oz. of butter
  • ½ oz. of finely chopped parsley
  • 8 pints of water
  • ½ pint of milk

Soak the crusts in the water for 2 hours before they are put over the fire. Cut up into small dice the vegetables; add them to the bread with the butter and pepper and salt to taste.

Allow all to simmer gently for 1 hour, then rub the soup through a sieve, return it to the saucepan, add the milk and parsley, and, if the flavor is liked, a little grated nutmeg; boil the soup up and serve at once.

Cabbage Soup

  • 1 fair-sized cabbage
  • a large Spanish onion
  • 1-1/2 oz. of butter
  • Pepper and salt to taste
  • ½ saltspoonful of nutmeg
  • 1-1/2 pints of milk
  • 2 tablespoonfuls of Allinson fine wheatmeal

After preparing and washing the cabbage, shred up very fine, chop up the onion, set these two in a saucepan over the fire with 1 quart of water, the butter and seasoning, and let all cook gently for 1 hour, or longer it the vegetables are not quite tender. Add the milk and thickening when the vegetables are thoroughly tender, and let all simmer gently for 10 minutes; serve with little squares of toasted or fried bread, or Allinson plain rusks.

Carrot Soup

  • 4 good-sized carrots
  • 1 head of celery
  • 1 onion
  • 3 oz. of Allinson wholemeal bread without crust
  • 1 oz. of butter, pepper and salt
  • 1 blade of mace

Wash, scrape, and cut the carrots into dice. Prepare and cut up the onions and celery. Set the vegetables over the fire with 3 pints of water, adding the mace and seasoning.

Let all cook until quite soft, which will probably be in 1-1/2 hours. If the carrots are old, they will take longer cooking.

When the vegetables are tender, rub all through a sieve, return the soup to the saucepan, add the butter, allow it to boil up, and serve with sippets of toast.

The Prosumer Kitchen

Television these days is full of cooking shows. On channels like the Food Network, it is all cooking, all the time. This trend has bred a new kind of celebrity - the celebrity chef - and the popularity of cooking shows is at a fever pitch because of it. These celebrity chefs have helped create a renewed interest and focus on cooking and the kitchen, and people everywhere are scrambling to buy their branded cookware and remodel their kitchens to more closely resemble the professional kitchens of those celebrity chefs on TV.

How to Carve a Turkey

By Tom Genung Carving a turkey is an easy process, and I'm going to highlight a couple of ways to do it. If you're a traditionalist and carve your turkey at the table in front of your guests, then the traditional approach is the one you should take. Otherwise if you are not too worried about presentation and the "wow factor" or you will be carving up the turkey in the kitchen, then the kitchen carving method may be right for you. Either way, they are both easy. The Traditional Way to Carve a Turkey Starting with the drumstick and thigh, push them away from the body until the hip joint is exposed. Slice through this joint until the thigh and drumstick are removed. With the thigh and drumstick removed as one unit, we can separate the two by slicing between the joint connecting the leg and thigh.
