Gingery Green Soup with Spinach and Chard

Gingery Green Soup

This recipe from 101 Cookbooks intrigued me. Green soup? I love healthy food, but I wasn’t sure if this recipe was just too healthy to make a satisfying meal.

Surprise! Sweet potato provides the substance the soup needs, and of course, it fits my cooking with color challenge perfectly. All those healthy greens add [...]

Stick to Your Ribs Slow Cooker Minestrone

Slow Cooker Minestrone

Here in Seattle we had an amazing summer. Day after day of warm weather. It was just beautiful. Blue skies and green trees. I’m sad to see the days get shorter, and the weather colder.

Still, there are some good things about fall and winter. Soups, stews, and comfort food.  I decided to take [...]

Light and Easy Minestrone Soup

Light and Easy Minestrone Soup

So, I have a new challenge. The challenge is to come up with recipes with six ingredients. I don’t have to count olive oil, salt or pepper.

Now, you would think that at 49 years old I could count to six, wouldn’t you? Apparently not.

Still, even with seven ingredients, this was an [...]

Make Your Own Vegetable Broth and Save Big!

I can’t say this tip was my own idea. In fact, it came from The Splendid Table. Lynne suggests saving vegetable scraps from foods like zucchini, onion, potato peel, broccoli and cauliflower stems, green bean ends, etc. in the freezer. When you have enough to add to a gallon of water, make your own broth. You [...]

Easy Bean Soup

A friend where I work, provided this recipe. It’s a crazy recipe in its simplicity. We truly didn’t add anything to it. Men really love it. The key is to make sure you find canned diced tomato with a Mexican flavor. I’ve used lean turkey kielbasa and it was just as wonderful, and probably a bit [...]

Roasted Red Pepper Soup

This recipe from Women’s World serves 3, it was supposed to serve 4, but when I made it, it resulted in 3 servings, 1 cup each. It originally called for 1 cup cream, which I changed to 1% milk, wanting to keep some of the fat for a creamier texture. I added the thyme and parmesan [...]
