Dolly Parton’s Stampede Soup Recipe

“Best Soup Ever!”,
This is the best soup ever! I use to eat it when I go to the Dixie Stampede, but found out it had flour in it. Now I can have the gluten free soup . If you are gluten free just substitute the flour with gluten free flour or use corn starch.
Thank you Dixie Stampede for sharing this recipe!
I don’t cook much so these questions may not come as a surprise to you- what does the recipe mean when it refers to “finely chopped vegetable table” what vegetable is it referring to add?
And should you use dark or light corn syrup?
Chopped veggie is carrots, celery or combo of both & light corn syrup.
I buy a can of Veg All and put it in my chopper to make it almost like a “paste”.. That way it’s creamy, and not chunky. It blends right up together. I do take out the corn though, just because it mash up in the chopper and I don’t care too much for corn 🙂
The best soup ever I like the show but honestly I go for the soup!!! They do a awesome show and you will enjoy everything.
Me & my hubby went to pigeon forge in july of 2014 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and decided to do the dixie stampede dinner show. I am so glad we did because i had the best soup ever…. I am going to try making it from scratch but not eat it as a soup but use it as a gravy. I know it will be awesome. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
We went to Pigeon Forge, Tn. Loved the show & the meal. Soup was the best. Would love to have a set of the bowls. Bought some of the soup in TN. Bought some online.
I love the show & the food but the soup is the best. I got mad at my husband the last time we went because he ate his soup & I didn’t get it this time. Lol
I saw someone talking about this online and recently made it. It is delicious! I found it better after a day or two of sitting in the fridge. I used about a half onion and added the onion and garlic powder to taste. I also used homemade chicken stock and Half.and Half . My stock was not salty nor was my butter, so I added it to taste as well . I think this is a great soup base for other creamy soups like potato. I threw in a can of diced potatoes as well as diced veggies, similar to Veg-All. Quick and simple !
The recipe calls for margarine. Can I use butter instead?
How do I make it for 8 adults as a main entrée served with cornbread. They are all big eaters especially when something’s really good!judy
I’m no Rachel ray but I would suspect you could just double or triple it. I hope they aren’t still waiting for the soup…
Did anyone have trouble getting there soup to thicken?
I definitely had trouble mine to thicken, in fact, it never thickened.
Did you even read the article? It says to use heavy cream to make a thicker soup.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ve been to the Stampede several times. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this soup. I love the show but I go for the soup. lol
