Yield Makes 180 to 200

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/3 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons nonfat buttermilk
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon vegetable oil for coating bowl and plastic

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and water. Let stand in warm place until creamy, about 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in 3 1/2 cups flour until well combined. Form into a ball. Transfer to a clean, oiled bowl; cover with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
  • In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in 1 tablespoon water. Stir baking-soda mixture, buttermilk, salt, and shortening into yeast mixture; if necessary, knead to combine. Gradually stir in enough remaining 1 cup flour to create a soft but not tacky dough.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; knead until firm, about 7 minutes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rest for 15 minutes. Knead dough until becomes elastic and smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer to lightly oiled bowl; cover tightly with oiled plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Turn dough onto a well-floured surface; roll into a 12-by-17-inch rectangle. Fold into thirds, and roll out to original size again. Repeat folding-and-rolling process. Cut off 1/2 teaspoon of dough. Form into ball by stretching dough over itself and pinching at bottom to secure. Roll in flour, and place on ungreased baking sheet. Repeat process until all dough is used. Bake crackers for 40 minutes, until cooked through completely. Transfer to wire rack to completely cool. Store in an airtight plastic container.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ tablespoons crushed garlic
4 tablespoons avocado oil
2 cups avocado, pitted and scooped from shell
1 cup cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 ¼ cups So Delicious® Dairy Free Cashew Milk
¾ cup So Delicious® Dairy Free Coconut Yogurt, Plain
4 ½ teaspoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 tablespoons chopped roasted cashews
1 ¾ cups almond flour
1 tablespoon organic granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold vegan butter (soy-free), like Earth Balance®, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup So Delicious® Dairy Free Original Yogurt, Plain
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon dried herbs (oregano, rosemary, tarragon)
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, add garlic and avocado oil, and place over medium heat. Poach ("roast") garlic until just golden brown. Strain garlic from oil, save garlic oil for topping soup.
  • Add all ingredients (avocado through white pepper--not the cashews) to blender and blend until silky smooth. Season to taste. Chill.
  • Serve cold in bowl, topped with chopped cashews, some more garlic oil and with a healthy portion of yogurt crackers on the side. Enjoy! Yum! Summer!
  • Herbed Yogurt Crackers: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (350 if using convection).
  • Add sifted almond flour to bowl, along with all dry ingredients. Whisk until combined.
  • Using your (clean) hands, cut butter into dry mix, rubbing between your fingers until the consistency of very coarse sand or little pebbles.
  • Using a wooden spoon, add yogurt and mix until just combined. Dough will be super wet and sticky - and delicious!
  • Form into one big (or two smaller) oval shaped mound, about 1 inch thick, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Remove from refrigerator, and between two pieces of parchment paper on a sheet pan, roll (or press with another sheet pan) dough to a consistent thickness, around 1/16 inch.
  • Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut into squares, rectangles, triangles (any shape you want!), then, using a fork, poke lots of little holes in the dough and then top with sesame seeds, herbs and salt.
  • Bake for about an hour, turning pan halfway through the process. Bake until golden brown, and dry to the touch.

Tips:

  • Choose the right crackers: The type of crackers you use can make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your soup. For a classic pairing, try buttery Ritz crackers or oyster crackers. For a heartier option, try whole wheat or multigrain crackers. And for a touch of sweetness, try graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
  • Don't overcrowd the crackers: When adding crackers to your soup, be sure to not overcrowd them. This will prevent them from getting soggy and losing their flavor.
  • Add crackers at the end of cooking: For the best texture, add crackers to your soup just before serving. This will give them a chance to soften slightly without becoming mushy.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to pairing crackers with soup. Try different types of crackers, cheeses, and herbs to find your favorite combination.

Conclusion:

Soup and crackers is a classic combination that is both comforting and delicious. With so many different types of soups and crackers to choose from, there is sure to be a combination that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a hearty and satisfying dinner, soup and crackers is a great option. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, reach for a bowl of soup and a handful of crackers.
