Christmas soup?

Postby Jolly O'Leary » Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:06 am

Does anyone have a recipe for 'christmas soup'? In Sweden it is the tradition to put up the Christmas tree on December 23. A 'dip in the pot' is also the traditional 'meal'. Sort of like dumplings which I do not like. So, I thought it might be nice to make a soup or stew. Something we could smell all day while we worked.

Any ideas for recipes? I was thinking maybe tortellini with red and green peppers........

PEPPERMINT BARK:

ngredients

* 1 (12 ounce) package NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels
* 24 hard peppermint candies

Directions

1. LINE baking sheet with waxed paper.
2. MICROWAVE morsels in medium, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70 percent) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. PLACE peppermint candies in heavy-duty plastic bag. Crush candies using rolling pin or other heavy object. While holding strainer over melted morsels, pour crushed candy into strainer. Shake to release all small candy pieces; reserve larger candy pieces. Stir morsel-peppermint mixture.
