Travelin’ Local Light and Satisfying Tomato Basil Soup

It’s time for another recipe from Travelin’ Local!

Bothell, Washington has a cafe on Main Street, Alexa’s, that serves up the most amazing tomato basil soup. I’ve never asked the recipe – I don’t want to know. I’m sure it’s loaded with calories; thus the savory, Parmesan cheesy bite after bite of my favorite soup.

Spicy Seafood Pico de Gallo Soup

What do you do with leftover nacho ingredients? I say – make soup!

I had leftover Pico de gallo, refried beans, black beans, jalapeno and lime as a base for my soup. A terrific start, but I was missing the usual leftover chicken or pork I would have added, so I was off on the hunt for [...]

Cheddar Cheesy Broccoli and Potato Soup

Yikes! Emergency root canal!

My poor husband has been in pain for two weeks. Mike’s a pretty tough guy, but what was supposed to be a simple dental procedure, turned into two weeks of pain with a temporary crown, and finally a root canal.

Thank heavens, that’s over!

My dental patient needed a warm and creamy soup to help [...]

Ro-Ri's Wonton Soup with Shrimp and Mushrooms

Was this fun to make? You bet! When I saw this recipe on Roti n Rice, I just had to give it a try. The original recipe called for ground pork, but I didn’t have any, and wanted to save a few calories, so I made mine with shrimp and mushrooms.

Satisfying and Creamy Broccoli Soup

Satisfying and Creamy Broccoli Soup

I put this broccoli soup in front of my husband for dinner tonight and he ate every drop. He either doesn’t feel well (broccoli soup would not be his thing), or it was really good.

I’m a Weight Watchers fan from way back, and this recipe comes from the New Complete Cookbook. [...]

Healthy Spinach and Potato Soup - Yes, It's Good!

Healthy Spinach and Potato Soup

Okay, I admit that spinach and potato soup probably doesn’t sound like it would be first on your list of recipes to try. That’s what I thought too when I looked at the recipe that came with our delivery of organic fruits and veggies.

Still, the recipe looked quick to pull together, [...]

Crunchy and Sweet Carrots with Orange Zest

Montel's HealthMaster

I admit it. I got sucked in by an infomercial! It’s true. Right before Christmas I watched an infomercial for Montel’s HealthMaster. Normally I would be ashamed of myself for making such an impulsive, expensive purchase, but not this time. What an awesome kitchen gadget!

If you aren’t familiar with the HealthMaster, it’s a gigantic, [...]

Creamy Clam Stew with Sweet Potato and Leeks

Creamy Clam Chowder with Sweet Potato and Leeks

My husband loves clams, and since he was so kind as to put up the Christmas lights (a chore he hates, by the way), I decided to make him a clam stew. This meant that I was off on the recipe hunt again, since I have no idea [...]
