https://industryeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/pot-vegetable-soup.jpg

I’m starting to wonder how many vegetable soups there can be out there. So many of them appear to be the same thing. It’s only when you look closely at the ingredients that you realize the nuances are what makes each soup unique. For instance, leeks and onions are very different things. Types of potatoes […]

Italian Mussel Soup Recipe

I don’t know if I mentioned this here, but I recently purchased a gigantic Italian cookbook from a used book sale at a nearby ski mountain. The organization that was selling it was a local library. The price was four dollars and since the book weighed about ten pounds, I decided to grab it while […]

Weeknight Vegetable Soup with White Beans & Red Potatoes Recipe

I’ve always been pretty good in the kitchen. When I was growing up, I’d make this or that and I did a decent job of taking care of myself. Of course, most dinners were made by my mother, but for all the in-betweens, I’d like to think I was handy at whatever the kitchen threw […]

African Spiced Soup in a Bowl

This certainly has been a soup filled autumn. I don’t know how many soups I’ve prepared since the beginning of September, but it’s been quite a few.

Celery Root Chowder

Here’s a soup you don’t see too often. I sure don’t see recipes like it very much at all. This one’s got a lot of ingredients in it that I wouldn’t have thought went well together and it even includes something I’ve never tasted in my life. That would be celery root. I’ve seen this […]

Rich & Creamy Roasted Vegetable Soup Recipe

This is one thick soup. I’m not sure I meant it to be that way, but that’s how it ended up. I love its consistency though. As I was blending it up in the pot last night with my handy hand blender, I had to add water a few times. As it loosened up, I […]
