Soups

This winter has been really great for soup recipes. I’ve already prepared a nice handful of them and plan on continuing until the end of the season. When spring rolls around, I’ll probably focus on lighter fare, but for now, soup it is. And today’s recipe shouldn’t disappoint because I’ve got a robust barley and […]

I learned quite a bit about pumpkin last night as I was preparing this recipe. I’ll share all of that with you below. But first let me tell you why I decided to make this soup at all. Every year, Laura and I make it a point to purchase a few pumpkins after Halloween. They’re […]

I follow a ton of pretty awesome food blogs and almost all of them offer some really great recipes. June d’Arville’s Simple, Tasty, Good is no exception. June has consistently created and shared some of the best recipes I’ve seen to date. Simple and elegant would be a perfect description. Filling and very good looking […]

Continuing on with my winter-long soup theme, today, I present some really good lentil soup. This recipe is basic, but it offers a nice, hearty meal, which is perfect for a winter day. And the best part is that it makes a ton of it. Well, it will if you double up like I did. […]

As I sit here and write, it’s snowing outside. Winter has arrived in full force. This is actually our third snow up here in Maine and hopefully we’ll have many more. I love the stuff and every time I look outside, I develop an odd craving for soup. As I’ve mentioned before, winter is soup […]

Today’s recipe represents the convergence of two kicks I’m currently on. The first is a soup kick and the second is an apple kick. While I’ve done a very good job in reducing the sheer quantity of apples we brought home from the orchard this year, we still have a whole lot of them that […]

I whipped up a really nice, really creamy batch of cream of mushroom soup last night and I thought I’d share the recipe with you. I mean, what did you expect? The soup was really good and a bit thicker than I though it would be. There were tons of mushrooms and other veggies and […]

It’s getting chilly out there. Over the past few weeks, the temperature has really been dropping. Sure, the daytime temps are still in the 70s up here in Maine, but at night, I’ve had to make a few small fires in the wood stove to warm things up. What this means is that it’s soup […]

The last time I had such a simple soup that was this good was when I made Gordon Ramsay’s broccoli soup. That was so easy to prepare and I’m astounded that it was so delicious. I did make another broccoli soup, but that one was just a tad more complex. It involved a few more […]

As I was making this soup last night, I wondered why I don’t just make soup exclusively. It’s so easy and I can prepare so much all at once. And, of course, it’s delicious. It’s one of my favorite things to eat for dinner. Oh yeah, there are also about a billion different recipes for […]
