Okay, okay, okay I know. Soup. Hot soup. In August. In my defense, my original intention for this recipe was a "Chilled White Bean Soup," but I liked it so much better hot! I am one of those weird people who eats soup all year round even when its 105 degrees outside. I definitely prefer fall and winter food to summer food. Summer food is good too (who am I kidding...I love it all), but I find ...
Hibachi Soup with Mushrooms and Crispy Onions
You know those Japanese steak houses where they cook on that big flat top in front of you and do the exact same tricks every time? The volcano onion stack, shaping the rice into a big heart, catching the shrimp tails in their jacket pockets, and clanking their spatulas on the flat top to make beautiful Hibachi music for the entire 30 minute cooking process? I love those places. My favorite two ...
The Best Chicken and Rice Soup
This really is the best Chicken and Rice Soup Ever! At least out of all the ones I've ever tried. What makes it so over-the-top-amazing? Two things in particular. 1. Rather than buying chicken stock, we just cook a whole chicken in water and that becomes the broth. We need cooked chicken anyway for the soup, why waste the flavorful water that the chicken simmers in?? So it has a super, SUPER ...
Butternut Squash Soup with Curry Roasted Chickpeas
Before I begin, I have a tip for this recipe. When you are transferring the leftovers to your Tupperwares after the soup is finished, try as hard as possible not to spill half the soup onto the counter/all over the front of your shirt and jeans and then spend 20 minutes cleaning up as your dog eats half the leftovers. Okay now that we covered that, moving on! This soup tastes as good as it looks! ...
Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
Everything about this soup is just heavenly. The soup itself is slightly spicy from the pepper flakes, a little creamy from the Greek yogurt, smoky from the roasted peppers and fire roasted tomatoes, and hearty from the pureed vegetables. It is literally perfect! And the grilled cheese croutons just give it that little extra salty, cheesy bite. I am really excited about this recipe...it has the ...
30 Minute One Pot White Chicken Chili
"This chili is way too delicious to be done in 30 minutes"...is what you would think after trying this yummy recipe. But it is true...perfect white chicken chili...one pot...thirty minutes. Bam. This chili is so easy! But the flavors are just amazing. The chili powder and cumin give it an authentic taste, and the lime just brings it to a-whole-nother level. I've never made "white" chili before ...
30 Minute One Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Broccoli Cheddar Soup is one of my favorite things ever. I don't know why it's so good...I mean, broccoli is pretty good but it's not absolutely delicious or anything. But when you throw it in a soup with some cheese it become sooo yummy. Not to mention a great way to sneak some broccoli into your kids' bellies. This recipe has two whole heads of it, so it's not a small amount! This is such an ...
Potato Pumpkin Soup with Bacon
This soup screams fall. A warm, cozy potato soup with pumpkin...what could be more fall-y? This soup makes me want to curl up in a warm blanket and sit by the fireplace. Not only is there bacon on top of the soup, but the roux (a thickener typically using a mixture of butter and flour) uses bacon fat instead of butter. Because of this, there is a delicious bacon flavor in each bite of this ...
Roasted Carrot Soup with Ginger and Thyme
There is a story behind this soup. I just created this blog yesterday and was SUPER eager to write my first post, but I still have one meal's worth of groceries left for this week. I make a point each week not to go to the store again after my once-a-week-grocery-visit to save money...but I really wanted to create a recipe to post on my new blog! So I compromised... This soup is a concoction ...
