SUMMARY:KindSoup for Students - Make Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Deb online for KindSoup for Students as we make a Lemon Orzo Chicken Soup (based on this recipe from Joy Bauer). After completing your soup\, and sharing some with your family\, freeze and label the rest for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers. \nStudents can earn 1 Student Service Learning Hour for every 2 quarts of frozen soup made with the group and delivered to others. There is a maximum of 8 quarts that can qualify for any given day (4 hours). Most recipes render at least 6 quarts of soup\, 3 SSL hours. \nIn order to receive SSL Hours \n\ntake a picture during preparation and at delivery\nreport on where you shared your KindSoup \nComplete this SSL Form  \n\nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nLemon Orzo Chicken Soup\n\n\n\n\n2 medium yellow onions\, finely diced\n8 medium carrots\, diced into thin coins\n2 teaspoons kosher salt\n½ teaspoon ground black pepper\n6 to 8 cloves garlic\, minced\n4 teaspoons lemon zest\n16 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth\n2 cups whole-grain orzo\, or any small whole-grain pasta\n2 tablespoons corn starch + 2 tablespoons water*\n½ cup lemon juice\n6 cups cooked\, shredded chicken*\n½ to 1 cup roughly chopped fresh dill (optional)\n\n*You can use 4 tablespoons arrowroot flour instead of cornstarch. Mix it with 4 tablespoons water to dissolve before adding to soup.\n**You can use rotisserie chicken or any leftover cooked chicken and shred by hand. \nSoup Instructions\n\n\n\nLiberally coat a large pot with olive oil spray and warm over medium heat. Add onions\, carrots\, salt\, and black pepper and cook\, stirring occasionally\, 7 to 9 minutes\, until veggies are softened. Add garlic and lemon zest and cook 1 minute. Stir often to prevent the garlic from burning.\nAdd chicken broth to the pot\, increase heat to high\, and bring soup to a boil. Add orzo\, reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook\, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pot\, for about 6 minutes or until orzo reaches al dente. Meanwhile\, make the cornstarch slurry by adding the cornstarch and water to a small bowl\, and whisking until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.\nOnce orzo is cooked\, add shredded chicken\, lemon juice\, and cornstarch slurry to the pot and mix everything together. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes to allow soup to thicken. Add additional salt\, pepper and fresh dill\, if desired\, and serve piping hot.\n\nNote: It will last a few days in the fridge or you can stash in the freezer for a few months. It will thicken in the freezer\, but should thin out when heating. You can add a little more broth if desired. \n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nSTUDENTS:  \nPrior to our Sunday\, May 18th cooking session:  \n\nConfirm your participation by signing up at the bottom of this page\nGather your ingredients\nMake sure that you have either a Soup Pot large enough to hold all of this soup\, or two smaller ones that will together hold it all\nHave 6 quart sized plastic soup containers with tight fitting lids (ask your neighbors if you could have theirs rather than them recycling them – they will be thrilled)\n\nHave all of your ingredients and cooking tools out and ready for when you sign on to our zoom at 5pm.

SUMMARY:Make Turkish Style Lentil Soup to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join KindChef Leni to make a Turkish Style Lentil Soup (based on this recipe from MonamiFood.) \nAfter completing your soup\, freeze and label it for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers\, with a person or family that is in your heart\, or anyplace that you prefer\, when convenient. Finally\, report on where you shared your KindSoup and spread the word: Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media with #DoKindWorks and tag us @DoKindWorks. \nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nTurkish Style Lentil Soup\n\n\n\nIngredients\n\n4 cups split red lentils\n12 cups water\n6 tablespoons Penzeys Turkish Seasoning (or make your own Turkish seasoning — See recipe below)\nExtra virgin olive oil\, to taste\n\nOptional \n\nSpring mix\, baby spinach or frozen chopped spinach\nCanned chickpeas\nFresh squeezed lemon juice or lemon wedges\nFresh chopped cilantro or parsley\nPenzeys Resist! spice mix\, to taste\, if desired\n\nInstructions\n\n\nInspect the lentils. Put the lentils into a strainer\, and put the strainer into a bowl. Carefully inspect the lentils\, and if you see foreign matter\, remove it.\nClean the lentils. Run water over the lentils in the strainer inside the bowl. Swish the lentils around in the water. Pour off the cloudy water. After doing this three or four times\, the water will run almost clear. Let the excess water drain from the lentils.\nCook the lentils. Follow the package directions for cooking. Or use these basic directions for split red lentils: In a medium size pot\, heat the water to boiling. Add the lentils to the pot. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a moderate simmer. Cover the pot with the lid\, leaving it little bit ajar. Simmer for 6 – 12 minutes\, until the lentils look and taste cooked to you. I consider split red lentils done when I can the little dot (germ) of the lentil is still somewhat visible. Then I take the pot off the heat and let it sit to finish cooking. This keeps the lentils from turning into a mush.\nAdd the Turkish Seasoning. When the lentils are cooked\, mix in Penzeys Turkish Seasoning. This recipe calls for 6 tablespoons of Turkish Seasoning. But I add about half of the amount and then taste as I got. If you store the soup in the fridge or freezer\, it will probably need more seasoning. So when I give this soup to friends\, I add a little baggie with some extra Penzeys Turkish seasoning.\nDrizzle extra virgin olive oil over each bowl of soup or mix it into the soup. The olive oil adds great flavor and lots of good-for-you polyphenols\, too! Note: If you are making a large quantity to donate to a shelter\, mix the olive oil into the soup.\n\nOptional \n\nSpinach (fresh or frozen) or spring mix (fresh): Add a heap of baby spinach or spring mix to a microwaveable container. Cover the container with a lid that allows steam to escape. Place the container with the spinach/spring mix into your microwave. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute\, or until the greens are wilted. Use a scissors to cut the the greens into smaller pieces and then add them to your soup. For frozen spinach\, microwave for less than the minimum amount of time given on the bag of frozen spinach.\nCooked/canned chickpeas: Great for adding texture and more protein and fiber. My favorite chickpeas are the Jovial Organic Chick Peas. They come in jars. I like add the cooking liquid from these chickpeas to my soup.\nFresh-squeezed lemon juice adds a nice tang. Be careful not to add too much. You can always add more at the table.\nCilantro or parsley. Nice as a garnish.\nPenzeys Resist! spice mix. Pass at the table so people who want a more spicy/hot soup\, can add their own.\n\nHomemade Turkish Seasoning (Penzeys-Style) \n\nIngredients:\n2 tbsp sweet paprika\n1 tbsp Aleppo pepper (or substitute with 1½ tsp crushed red pepper + ½ tsp smoked paprika)\n1 tbsp ground cumin\n2 tsp granulated garlic\n2 tsp onion powder\n1 tsp ground black pepper\n½ tsp ground cinnamon\n½ tsp salt (optional)\n¼ tsp ground allspice (adds warmth\, common in Turkish blends)\nOptional: ½ tsp ground coriander or a pinch of clove for depth\nInstructions:\nMix all ingredients in a bowl until well combined.\nStore in an airtight container away from light and heat.\nUse within 6 months for peak freshness.\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nHow to Donate Your KindSoup\nSeal containers with a tight lid and freeze.
