Tortellini Soup I hate to be a negative nelly but I’m so sick of the cold weather. I hate the cold weather. It could be argued that I’m on the thin side - not at all conducive to thriving in a Canadian winter 🥶 The number one thing that makes me feel better besides my heating pad and fireplace is homemade soup. I let this soup simmer for ...

Tomato – Tortellini Soup
Tomato - Tortellini Soup Without even realizing it I’ve stumbled into our family traditions. As soon as it gets cold outside I make a beef stew in the crockpot. Today was our first significant snow fall of the season which meant soup had to simmer on the stove! I wanted the kids to come in from playing in the snow to a warm house filled with the ...
Pasta e Fagioli
Pasta e Fagioli My dad is a genius. He's been asking me to make this soup for years. Years! I was resistant but then I caved. This soup is freaking delicious!!!

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Old-Fashioned, creamy chicken noodle soup that is homemade, good for body and soul and ready in about 40 minutes. I was going to say 30 minutes but didn’t want to pressure you (totally doable in 30 minutes though!). Yup, you read that right; 30 – 40 minutes! Originally posted on January 31, 2016 :) A ...
Corn Chowder
Corn Chowder I must admit this is really good! Any time you are going to make a soup with corn, add in the cobs; you get a ton of flavour from doing that. This is a hearty stick-to-your-ribs chowder that still has butter and cream but a marginal amount. So while this tastes rich and heavy, you’re not going to feel weighed down after eating ...
Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup

Split Pea Soup
Split Pea Soup I’m almost embarrassed to admit it but I’ve never cooked with dried beans or legumes, ever! I had to change that so I bought some green split peas, known for their earthy flavour. Then I drew inspiration from split pea soup which I soon discovered is really, really fattening. Here is my lightened up version and man is it good! You ...
Chunky Beef Soup
Chunky Beef Soup My son LOVES Campbell’s Chunky Beef soup. LOVES it. I have made him a ton of homemade soups but he won’t eat them (ouch, my heart). So I decided if I couldn’t beat them, I’d join them; I have made a homemade version of Chunky beef soup, almost identical to Campbell’s. The ultimate taste-tester (my son) approved and he ate the ...
Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Cumin and Turmeric
Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Cumin and Turmeric It’s soup season!!! I love cool autumn nights where I snuggle up with a big bowl of soup and leave the window open so I can feel the cold breeze against the hot soup. I love the spiciness and the simplicity of this dish, perfect for meatless Monday. Serve with crusty bread to make this a complete ...
Good Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup
Good Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup I mentioned in my previous post that I was deflated over this Global Warming crisis; to soothe my soul I made this pot of soup. This was without a doubt THE most delicious soup I have ever made and not to toot my own horn, I’ve made a few delicious soups! (Modest-schmodest). So in the event summer is ...
Beef, Potato and Tomato Soup
Beef, Potato and Tomato Soup It is FRICKEN FREEZING outside. I haven’t left my house in 2 days and in an attempt to stretch it another day, I made a giant pot of this soup using my pantry and left overs! This is simple, healthy and is completely satisfying; Mike loved it! Serves 8 to 10 8 Cups sodium reduced beef stock (I used 2 store bought ...
