soup

Anyone have any of the last heirloom tomatoes of the season sitting on the vine (or fridge) just begging to be used up?? How about making them into this Garden Heirloom Tomato Soup?! This soup highlights all of the late summer flavors of perfectly meaty and flavorful tomatoes straight from…

My favorite fish market in San Diego, called Catalina Offshore Products, has weekly coupons that typically include seasonal fish and whatever they happen to have a plethora of at the moment.  I was so excited when, a few weeks ago, I started noticing halibut all over their list.  I went…

I promise I didn’t invent this combo in a bizarre foodie nightmare.  I am well aware that this recipe sounds like I may have thrown all my refrigerator leftovers into a pot and called it a recipe.  (Although let’s be real- isn’t that how all good recipes/ soups are originally concocted?) But…

Are you excited about this post?  I know I’m excited about this post. I don’t know if Khao Soi Curry Noodles has recently become more trendy, or if, after discovering it for the first time, just started noticing its existence on many Thai menus.  I first discovered Khao Soi at a…

Anyone else fallen in love with Delicata Squash this season?  I am about to start a Delicata fan club. The “story” of this soup requires somewhat of a prelude and a thorough (and wordy) understanding my grocery shopping psychology.

Seasonally inappropriate recipes?  Why yes, I haz some. (Also lets just talk about how this exists: Asparagus Royalty.  Oh Michigan… how I love you.  These are my roots.) This recipe, Green and White Asparagus Soup, is inspired from a trip that Dave and I took recently to Copenhagen, Denmark.  I was…

I am a tomato soup addict.  It’s one of those things that you kind of never get over once you grow from childhood to adulthood.  I’m comparing this to things like twinkies and capri-sun that were once so magical and once eaten after the age of 18 somehow is completely…

Ah, the obligatory Saint Patrick’s Day  post. (But for real, this recipe is bomb.) I actually stumbled upon this recipe while doing some reading about Chicago Saint Patrick’s day.  For those that may not know yet, I grew up in Michigan, not too far from Chicago.  A few years back, when…
