The Real Soup: Progresso Broth


Is there anything more comforting than a bowl of soup? Now, I’m not talking about the “add a can of water” soups. I’m talking about a flavorful soup like Progresso. As a child I drank the add water soups, but now I prefer the taste of Progresso soup.

Progresso is making it easier to create your favorite holiday recipes with the introduction of all-natural Progresso Chicken, Reduced Sodium Chicken, and Beef-flavored broths. Progresso’s broths are 99% fat free and contain no preservatives, artificial flavors, or MSG*! They even come in convenient, re-sealable 32oz cartons.

Because the holidays are also about sharing, I have three gift baskets to giveaway to readers of the Mom on the Run Chronicles. The gift baskets include a free coupon for Progresso Broth (rather than the carton of Progresso broth show in the photo), a recipe card holder, recipe box and wicker basket, as well as a set of serving spoons and a spoon rest. My daughter shrieked when she saw the serving spoons–she’s a budding cook.

High-quality broth is an important part of many tasty holiday recipes, and Progresso would like to share one of our personal favorites with you as well. ProgressoSignature Recipes

Now the rules for this giveaway are simple:

  • Leave a comment letting me know your favorite holiday recipe by midnight New Year’s Eve. I’ll announce a winner by January 2.
  • Subscribe to this blog via BlogLines.

I’m looking forward to hearing about your favorite holiday recipe. Happy Holidays!

    Hello! My favorite holiday recipe is TURKEY soup. I made a wonderful turkey on Christmas day and took the bones / body of the turkey and cooked in broth for several hours. I included fresh onions, potatoes, & carrots. Boy was it yummy! Great comfort food for my family who has been suffering with terrible colds.

    I am not sure how to subscribe because I don't have blog lines and I would rather not sign up for anything else as far as that goes.

    My favorite holiday recipe has always been my “famous” brownies. Sure, the brownies are the norm, but the toppers are extrodinary. Once the “ordinary” brownies have been taken out of the oven, I simply drizzle hot, melted caramel over top of the warm brownies, add some crushed pecans and dabble yet more scrumptious toppings (bite size mini kisses)…yummmy!!!!!!

    CREAM PUFFS

    1/2 c. butter
    1 c. boiling water
    1 c. pre-sifted flour
    1/4 tsp. salt
    4 eggs

    Put butter and water in small saucepan; stir over high heat until melted and liquid is boiling rapidly. Add flour and salt at once; raise saucepan a few inches above heat. Stir briskly. Mixture will come away from sides of pan and form a ball in center.

    Cook and stir 30 seconds more. Remove from heat. Break 1 egg into the paste; beat fast until smooth and fluffy. Repeat until all the eggs are used.

    Drop by whatever size you want (1/4 cup) onto ungreased cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees until puffed and golden 35-40 minutes. Cool away from drafts. Cut off tops and fill with filling or ice cream.

    CREAM PUFF FILLING:

    1/3 c. sugar
    2 c. milk
    2 tbsp. butter
    2 tsp. vanilla
    2 tbsp. cornstarch
    2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

    Mix sugar, cornstarch and eggs in 2-quart saucepan. Stir in milk gradually. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool and fill cream puffs.

    Favorite holiday recipe: Hmm, well, we saw Sandra Lee make Turkey Chilaquiles with leftover holiday turkey, so we tried it and love it! We always have tons of leftover turkey after the holidays.

    Here is her recipe (had to bum it from Food Network b/c I couldn’t remember it exactly):

    Ingredients

    * 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    * 1 1/2 cups red onion, chopped
    * 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles (recommended: Ortega)
    * 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (recommended: Ro’tel)
    * 3 cups leftover cooked turkey, shredded
    * 1 (16-ounce) jar chunky salsa (recommended: Pace)
    * Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    * 5 cups tortilla chips, crushed
    * 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican 4-cheese blend
    * 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
    * 1/4 cup sour cream

    Directions

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

    Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until soft. Add green chiles, diced tomatoes, leftover turkey and salsa. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with tortilla chips and then cheese. Place skillet in oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

    Remove from oven. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with side of sour cream.

    Our favorite holiday recipe has to be Peppermint Bark. Everyone gets involved making it!

    1st layer: Milk Chocolate
    2nd layer: White Chocolate with red and green food coloring swirled in, not mixed, you want the swirl effect
    3rd layer: Candy cane pieces

    While I am busy melting the chocolate the kids have a blast breaking up the candy canes because usually that is a big no-no. Isn’t it fun to do something you are not suppose to do?

    To top it off we spoon swirl just a tad bit of colored (red/green) frosting on top.

    So yummy!

    We make this year round just calling it something different and topping it with difference yummies. For example we use milk chocolate, butterscotch chips and toffee pieces. Another is milk chocolate, fluff (marshmellow creme) and chopped up snickers. Endless possiblities and lots of fun for everyone from the making to the eating!!

    My mom makes great sweet potatoe casserole with pecans. I love it and I don’t even like sweet potatoes. Thanks for the chance to win!

    My favorite holiday recipe is something that my grandmother always made for holiday get togethers. It is called Curried Cauliflower. Even though she gave me the recipe before she passed away, it never turns out QUITE the way she made it. Guess I just don’t have her magic touch 🙁

    Thanks for the great giveaway.

    Okay, I’m probably the last of my kind. My favorite recipe is an old fashioned fruit cake.
