I like to make soup each week and this is one of my all-time favorites. It has the perfect amount of creaminess and crunchiness. It’s warming during these cold winter months and best of all, it’s in a big delicious bowl of bread! Panera Bread actually makes the best broccoli and cheese bread bowl (imho) […]
When you think Valentine’s Day, soup isn’t the first thing that comes to my mind. Well, maybe it is but some would say I’m not normal. 🙂 With my love of soup at an all time high, I wanted to make a soup that really screamed romance or sexy or Valentine’s Day! So, I made […]
It’s the last day of my whole30 month journey and I have mixed feelings about it ending. On the one hand, I’ve never felt better from all the clean eating. And, I’ve lost all the baby weight from Matilda (and then some!). But on the other hand, I desperately miss bread! So, while I plan […]
It’s 24 degrees today, so it’s the perfect day to bring out my red cast iron pot to make this soup! It’s my go-to pot, especially when making my weekly soup. This week, I made a Whole30 friendly Portuguese soup. It’s a tomato based soup full of two different kinds of meat and veggies. While […]
Tis the season for warm flavors and hot soups. Winter squash makes the BEST soups and this one has an unexpected twist of tofu. Even though there is currently a debate on eating tofu on the Paleo diet, I am ok eating it in moderation from time to time. Adding protein without taking away from […]
When I was thinking of a recipe to make with the turkey stock I made from yesterday’s Christmas turkey, I thought making my go-to chicken/turkey noodle soup would be easy and straight forward. But, the creative juices were flowing, so I decided to make dumplings instead of using noodles. And boy, was I right. This […]
Another week, another soup! My favorite! This one is a good refrigerator dump – empty whatever you have in your fridge into the pot and you have one amazing soup! This one shines using the colors of Christmas, and is light enough to eat anytime of year. I used fresh cherry tomatoes today, but usually […]
You know me and my soups, I just love them! So when it comes to Thanksgiving, don’t throw out that turkey carcass – make turkey soup! Even if you don’t want the soup, make the stock and freeze it for another time. You can use it to cook rice, grains, or add in to just […]
My Gram was an amazing cook. She passed it down to my mom who in turn helped me learn to cook from a very young age. I remember standing in the kitchen cooking and baking with my mom for hours prepping holiday meals until my feet would start to hurt. That’s how badly I wanted […]
A vichyssoise is a soup usually made with leeks, potatoes, and cream. While it’s typically cold, it can be served warm, like this one. It’s a fancy sounding soup that’s actually quiet easy to make. It’s a one-pot wonder soup as it’s all made in the same pot, making clean-up a breeze. And, everything about […]
