Soups

I’m not sure I’ve ever tried a “barigoule” before. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a dish that uses braised artichokes, mushrooms and root vegetables, such as carrots, beets or parsnips. It’s a shame I’ve never tried something like this because it’s wonderful. I think I wrote about how much I love adding ingredients to a […]

Now this is the kind of soup I really like. It’s the first recipe from my new best friend called The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook put out by America’s Test Kitchen. Just flipping through the pages of this thing makes me crazy. So much good stuff! The Recipe This recipe encapsulates everything I enjoy about eating. […]

Making so many new recipes certainly does have its advantages. Back a few years, Laura and I were sort of stuck in a rut. At the worst possible moment, usually around 10pm or later, one of us would ask, “What’s for dinner?” By that time, neither of us had any ambition whatsoever and there have […]

Laura and I have been trying to make clam chowder for what seems like forever. We keep telling each other that it definitely “has to be” on the next list we make. The ingredients aren’t too extensive and there really is no reason for not preparing this wonderful soup. For some reason though, it keeps […]

I was so excited when I saw the instructions for this recipe. They basically went like this; sautee one ingredient in a pot, add more ingredients, cook, add even more, cook again and you’re done. Now that’s my kind of cooking. Especially during an evening after a busy day. Laura and I were out all […]

For the next four or five posts, you’re going to be in for a seafood treat. I believe each one of them is seafood oriented, except for one. That one is a really nice green bean salad. I hope you like mussels, salmon and cod. The Recipe Today’s recipe comes from Williams-Somona‘s cookbook called Seafood. […]

This soup is in the same family as the last soup recipe I shared. They both use butternut squash as the primary ingredient and both use onions, vegetable broth and coconut milk. Where they differ is important. This recipe takes advantage of some really great tasting coconut flour along with a good amount of kale. […]

For the next two posts, I’ll be sharing some soup recipes. This is the first one and I have to tell you, the word nostalgic comes to mind as I write. Last night, while I was making my way through the preparation of this soup, I had to head outside to get some firewood. When […]

We’ve made it to the homestretch. Laura and I now have only one very large pumpkin left from this autumn’s collection. If you’ve been following along, you already know that we have made a variety of soups from the previous pumpkin and squash. In all honesty, many of these soups are very similar in their […]

Some of the simplest recipes make the best tasting food. This one is no exception. I absolutely love this curry and am looking forward to preparing more like it in the future. The Recipe I’ll admit, I don’t have tons of experience with different types of spices. I’ll also admit that I am going to […]
