Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
It’s Chicken Tortilla Soup minus the “tortilla” but plus avocado, cilantro, and monterrey jack cheese! I don’t go for the tortilla strips in the soup, but I do try to serve it with tortilla chips…just in case anyone calls me on not bringing tortilla to the table when it comes to Chicken Tortilla Soup. Mitch’s … Continue reading
Potato Cauliflower Leek Soup
This Potato Cauliflower Leek Soup is mainly cauliflower (SUPER HEALTHY), but it seems that perhaps cauliflower shouldn’t get top-billing in the recipe name because you know there are haters out there. I, for one, surely am not a cauliflower hater, but this soup would go over well with cauliflower lovers and haters. Actually I bet … Continue reading
Asparagus Soup
I have a hard time cooking asparagus…I manage to get the texture wrong most of the time. Too tough, too tough, too tough, and now it’s too soggy. Wah. Asparagus Soup takes care of this problem for me as the immersion blender completely purees the asparagus. It felt like taking a power tool to my … Continue reading
Red Lentil Soup
Perhaps I’ve been too busy eating Red Lentil Soup instead of actually posting about it. Well, here we go. I recently discovered that I love Aarti. I have NEVER seen her show on the Food Network (Baby Cupcake stares at the TV so it pretty much has to be off except for Carolina basketball games … Continue reading
Crock Pot Tomato Soup
One of the great things about Mitch is he loves tomato soup and grilled cheese. As a professed-tomato-hater for my entire life (unless those tomatoes were in the form of pizza sauce of course), it took me a little while to finally come around to tomato soup. Once I did start eating it and feeling … Continue reading
Split Pea Soup
Soup season is here…even in North Carolina, it finally got cold this week. So let’s make some soup. For this Split Pea Soup recipe, I turned to The Joy of Cooking. With its 4,500 recipes, I always feel like I should never eat the same food twice. Holy cow. Unfortunately, the only way to make … Continue reading
Pumpkin Soup
Soup’s on! Baby Cupcake made her first trip to the farmers’ market this weekend (which means we haven’t been there since she was born!!!). We made up for our hiatus by stocking up: pumpkins, kale, spinach, poblano peppers, green bell peppers, ginger, sweet potatoes, bok choy, beets, and ground beef. Now we’ll be cooking up … Continue reading
Black Bean and Lentil Soup
Soup’s on! Want to feel like a runner without putting on your jogging shorts and hitting the road? Here’s a tip I just learned: start cooking Runner’s World recipes. It’s not every day you get contacted with a bean-recipe-alert. However, my sister Paige knows that Mitch is in love with beans and knew that this … Continue reading
B’baw Mouan
No, I don’t really know how to say B’baw Mouan either, but I do know how to eat it. Though I shopped for the ingredients and could picture the dish in my head, all day long I kept asking Mitch what we were having for dinner again. A few weeks ago we ordered the dish … Continue reading
Crock Pot Posole
“Oh, I already cooked!” That’s the unbeatable thought that pops into my mind when I walk back in the house to smell this delicious Crock Pot Posole waiting for us for dinner. My mother-in-law found this recipe in Arizona Highways, and she made it for us on one of our trips to New Hampshire. She made … Continue reading
