i am looking for the O'Charleys reciepe for chicken harvest soup.
It is creamy like cream of chicken and very good.
Hi Crystal,
I found the recipe below.
Phaed
O'Charley's Chicken Harvest Soup
1/4 lb. butter
3/4 C. flour
2 1/2 to 3 qt. water
2 T. chicken base (see note)
2 qt. chicken stock (see chicken tenders recipe)
1 lb. fresh carrots, diced
6 to 7 ribs celery, diced
1 medium onion, diced
3/4 tsp. white pepper
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
Cooked chicken tenders (recipe follows)
10 oz. egg noodles
In a large pot, melt butter. Add flour and cook 3 to 4 minutes.
Slowly add the 2 1/2 to 3 quarts of water, stirring constantly.
(The amount of water used depends on how thick you want the soup.)
Simmer 20 minutes. Add chicken base and chicken stock.
While chicken stock mixture is cooking, bring 2 quarts of water to
a boil in a separate pot. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook 6 minutes.
Drain. Add to chicken stock mixture along with white pepper and garlic
powder. Simmer 10 minutes. Add diced cooked chicken tenders.
Cook noodles in a separate pan of boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain and rinse with cold water. Add to soup. (Noodles will continue
cooking in the soup.) Simmer soup 2 or 3 minutes more and serve.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Chicken Tenders for Harvest Soup
2 qt. water
2 T. chicken base
1 small onion, cut into quarters
1/2 rib celery, cut into 2-inch segments
2 1/2 lb. chicken tenders, thawed
In a large pot, bring water, chicken base, onion and celery to simmer.
Add chicken. Gently simmer until done, about 5 to 6 minutes. Do not
overcook. Drain chicken and reserve stock. (This can be used for the
stock in the preceding recipe.) Place chicken in the freezer to stop
the cooking process. When cool, use a sharp knife to dice into 1/2-inch
cubes. Add to soup.
Makes enough for 8 to 10 servings of soup.

The Melting Pot has a wonderful fondue cooking broth called
"Coq au Vin Style". Broth, herbs, spices and wine. Would
love to have the recipe! I have been looking for almost two
years for this one. Thanks for any help you can give.
Hi Deb,
Well, perhaps your searching is over. I was amazed to find the below recipe.
Phaed
Recipe: Coq Au Vin fondue from "The Melting Pot"
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup Burgundy wine
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon, garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
Method:
Heat vegetable stock in fondue pot until it begins to simmer. Add all
other ingredients, bring to simmer.
Place individual pieces of desired meat or veggies on fondue fork and
put in pot until correct temperature has been reached. Lobster and
shrimp may take under a minute to cook while beef and pork will take
slightly longer. Take the necessary precautions so you don't eat raw meat.

what are lady fingers?and where might i find them?
kind regards maxine
Hello Maxine,
Ladyfingers are light, delicate spongecakes shaped like large, fat fingers.
You should be able to buy them in a bakery or a supermarket. The best ones are
an Italian kind called "savoiardi."
You can buy them online at:
Baked Goods
You can also make your own using the below recipe.
Phaed
Savoiardi - (lady fingers)
3 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Beat egg yolk until thick and lemon colored. Beat in almond extract.
Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry, and gradually beat in sugar
until whites are glossy and very stiff.
Fold egg yolks gently into whites.
Fold in sifted dry ingredients.
Drop batter by tablespoons on ungreased cookie sheet forming fingers
in 3 inch long and 1 inch wide. Bake in moderate 350F oven 10 minutes,
until light brown.
Remove immediately from cookie sheet and cool on rack. Makes 3 dozen.

Once on a cruise I had key lime pie that did not have sweetened
condensed milk in it. Do you have a recipe for one like that?

Hello Sharon,
Yes. The ones that don't have milk use gelatin. See below.

Beat egg yolks; add 1/2 cup sugar, lime juice and salt. Cook
mixture in double boiler until the mixture coats a metal spoon.
Soak gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. Dissolve in lime mixture. Add
rind; color lightly with food color. Mix well and set aside until
mixture begins to thicken, stirring occasionally. Beat egg whites

Hi Stephanie,
I've looked everywhere I can think of, with no luck. I was able to find only
one hoisin sauce recipe at all. Most people apparently use canned or bottled
hoisin sauce. The one recipe that I did find is below. You might try
substituting raspberry jam for the honey/molasses.
Phaed
Hoisin Sauce
4 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp black bean paste
1 Tbsp honey or molasses
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
2 tsp sesame oil
20 drops hot sauce
1/8 tsp black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small jar. Use with chicken, stir fry
or as a base for an Asian style pizza.
