Last winter I saved a ton of Lasagna Soup recipes from Instagram. Never did get around to making any though. Until today. Now I wish I hadn’t waited so long. Tastes just like Lasagna, but takes a fraction of the the time and effort. Don’t wait, make it soon, it’s fabulous…… Print Lasagna Soup Prep… Continue reading
This is a great soup to have in your back pocket, it’s a chameleon of a soup, honey. Easily adaptable to whichever vegetables you have on hand. As a template I always include onion, celery, carrot, tomato, zucchini, green beans, frozen peas. Also beans, either canned like cannellini, or a similar dry bean that are… Continue reading
If you are anything like me, a tad bit lazy sometimes when it comes to dinner time. Then, this soup is for you. Easy to source ingredients, no broccoli rabe at your market? Try another leafy green such as spinach or swiss chard instead, any kind of savory pork sausage will work, use up any… Continue reading
Growing up, dinner was usually cooked out of necessity, what my parents had shopped for that week and had on hand became dinner, there was no running to the store for a forgotten ingredient that’s for sure. My Mum did had a knack for creating dinner magic with a pound of ground beef. One week… Continue reading
When my daughter was younger she just didn’t like pureed soups. I could never figure out why? As she grew older, and more articulate, she informed me that she didn’t like pureed soup because every spoonful feels and tastes the same. Huh, who knew. To get around that dilemma, I found a few ways… Continue reading
Yesterday, as I was browsing through my saved Instagram images trying to come up with inspiration for dinner, I came across a recipe from Bon Appetite for this fabulous Chick Pea Ham and Kale soup. Hearty beans with savory ham, and some greens to boot. Normally I wouldn’t even consider making this soup, my husband… Continue reading
Today, I would like to give some credence to escarole. It’s a New Year and I wanted to try something new, not just fall back on spinach or kale, my go-to’s in most recipes with leafy greens. In the same category as endive and frisee; not really a lettuce, as it appears at first glance,… Continue reading
Lately, I have noticed a lot of chatter in the food blogs about the Instant Pot – it’s kind of a modern day old time pressure cooker, meets slow cooker, or crock pot AND doubles as a rice cooker. I must admit I am curious, but haven’t jumped on that bandwagon… yet. It got me thinking… Continue reading
A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for this fabulous black bean soup, hard to believe that a bag of God-knows-how-old dried beans could produce such a remarkable bowl of soup. I thank the crock pot for that. It was so easy that I felt we had to do it again, for quality control… Continue reading
In these dwindling December days filled with endless parties full of punch bowls laden with egg nog, bacon wrapped scallops on fancy trays, and entire tables devoted to artistic cheese displays, I thought you might appreciate something a bit lighter to ingest between Fêtes. This one simple soup may be the thing we all need… Continue reading
Okay, I am not saying I need to post a ton of low calorie, yet filling recipes this month due to my over indulgengces in all manner of foodstuffs, sweets, and of course wine over the holidays. This Roasted Mushroom Soup with Shallots and Thyme could fit that bill though, however, it really doesn’t deserve to… Continue reading
Well, I have to say, for me, it’s officially soup season, when the temperatures dip below 60, that’s it. Yipee. I love soup, any kind. The boys here however sometimes need convincing, that yes, soup can be dinner. I have made many versions of this Chicken Tortilla Soup, but this one honey, is the best…. Continue reading
With a ton of blogs out there suggesting what you can recreate with all those Thanksgiving leftovers. I thought I would veer hard in the other direction and suggest a soup. Winter Minestrone, Gluten Free of course, and not a bit turkey in it. Think about it, wouldn’t you better appreciate something light, yet filling,… Continue reading
I was watching the Barefoot Contessa the other day while she made homemade tomato soup, not hard to do really. I started to wonder why I’ve never made it myself? I think it is perhaps time to put away the childhood version of tomato soup from the can, We deserve a more refined, grown up… Continue reading
