Fall is around the corner and we are all bracing ourselves for the pumpkin spice that’s about to take over. Admittedly I am not a pumpkin spice fan but I AM a fan of the weather, the fashion, and the warm soothing food. Soup is literally one of my favorite foods and while I love it year-round, I find it especially delicious when the temperature drops and the sweaters come out of storage.My name is Jenny from @thedailyjenny on Instagram. I am a busy working mom who values everything from a good Baby Shark singalong to highly effective products that help me clean more effectively. I’m here to share 5 family-friendly soup recipes that I’ll be making all fall. I am a messy eater and apparently a messy cook. I somehow manage to make a mess even if I’m just frying an egg. You can imagine what I left behind making 5 different soups.Thankfully, Weiman has some incredible products to help people like myself out. In the end, I’d love to share cleaning tips and how I removed all the stains and crusted food off my stovetop! I like to keep my recipes really simple and whole because it is a time saver and also you can really appreciate the ingredients as they are. I also feed everything to my son so I am very mindful of what is in his food. I hope you enjoy these recipes!
Garlicky Miso Tofu Soup
1 package of medium to firm tofu
3 tablespoons of premium white miso paste
1 small snack package of seaweed
3-10 (I love garlic but please feel free to adjust) cloves of garlic
4 cups of water
Miso soup is one of the easiest to make! It can literally be as basic as hot water with miso paste. I like to jazz mine up a bit and add protein as well as garlic.
- Bring water to a boil
- Add miso paste and let dissolve
- Cut tofu into cubes and add to soup
- Add as many pressed cloves of garlic as you would like - I prefer a lot.
- Shred seaweed and add to soup or serve with fresh seaweed if you prefer a crunchier consistency
- Let simmer for 10-15 minutes to let the garlic flavor the soup
Onion & Broccoli Soup
½ white onion diced
3 cups of steamed broccoli
3-10 cloves of garlic (same caveat as before)
½ cup cheddar cheese
½ cup of parmesan cheese
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
2-3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock (less if you prefer chunkier, more if you prefer more liquidy)
Salt & pepper & paprika to taste
Broccoli soup is one of my faves! I love how hearty it is. I chose to add ½ onion and garlic to mine to give it even more umami.
- Steam broccoli
- Bring stock to a boil
- Add in broccoli, diced onion, and garlic
- Let everything simmer and soften for about 10-15 minutes
- Add heavy whipping cream and cheeses
- If you have an immersion blender, you can use that to blend. If not, move to a blender and blend!
- Salt, pepper & paprika to taste. Can also be served with additional cheese on top.
Rustic Garlic Tomato Soup
8-10 medium sized whole tomatoes
5-15 (again with the caveat) whole garlic cloves
3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
½ cup of parmesan cheese
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
Tomato soup is hands down my favorite. I like it alone. I like it with grilled cheese. Honestly, I’ll eat it for breakfast. This version is super simple and uses basically just tomatoes with some flavoring.
- Coat pan with olive oil
- Add whole tomatoes, garlic, salt & pepper.
- Cover and let soften for 15-20 minutes. Turn tomatoes every few minutes.
- Once tomatoes are completely soft, use your spatula to smash tomatoes down.
- Add stock and let simmer for 10-15 minutes
- Add parmesan cheese and heavy whipping cream.
- If you have an immersion blender, you can use that to blend. If not, move to a blender and blend!
- Serve with grilled cheese, mac n cheese, or just eat alone!
Lemon Pepper Chicken Soup
1 cup of shredded rotisserie chicken
3-5 carrots, peeled and chopped
½ - 1 whole onion, diced
4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
Salt & pepper to taste
Minced garlic if you are a garlic addict like me
Lemon pepper seasoning (if you don’t have this, I would suggest 2 lemons juiced)
Chicken soup is such a staple whether you’re curing a cold or just want a warm, hearty meal. I really like mine super tart and lemony. I also really dislike celery so I removed it from what would be considered traditional. Obviously, you can add back in if you prefer.
- Bring 3 cups of stock to a boil
- Add carrots and onions and let cook for 15-20 minutes
- Add shredded chicken and minced garlic and let simmer for 5 minutes
- Add lemon pepper seasoning, typically 1 - 1 ½ tablespoons is plenty. Start small and you can always add more.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Elote Chowder
2 cups of corn kernels
½ tablespoon of tajin
1 tablespoon of cotija cheese
1 tablespoon of parmesan for soup
1 teaspoon of butter
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups of chicken or vegetable stock
Parmesan cheese to serve
Salt & pepper to taste
This is my different take on traditional corn chowder. It is a Mexican Elote base with stock and cream to make it into a soup base.
- Butter pan and add corn kernels on medium heat.
- Add tain, cotija, and parmesan. Saute for 5 - 8 minutes.
- Add stock and let boil
- Add heavy whipping cream
- If you have an immersion blender, you can use that to blend. If not, move to a blender and blend!
- Serve with parmesan cheese on top
I hope you are inspired to make some delicious soups this fall! Making this was so fun but it did a number on my stovetop. All the splishing and splashing left some tough stains. I used Weiman Disinfectant Granite & Stone Clean & Shine Spray to clean up the mess and then did an extra wipe down with Weiman Disinfectant Granite & Stone Wipes.
I was so incredibly impressed with not only how well it cleaned up the stains but also that it was streak-free and also disinfected. This formula kills 99.9% of Germs & Bacteria and is on the EPA list for products effective against the cause of COVID-19.
I started first with the spray and let it marinate a bit before wiping down with paper towels. For good measure, I used the wipes as well. The wipes are amazing because you can let it air dry while it works. This new duo is my kitchen staple and if you’re doing a lot of cooking in your kitchen, you need to give this power couple a try.
