Parmesan and Chive Dumpling Soup I had never had dumpling soup before and then I saw The Pioneer Woman (love her!) make her soup and it inspired me. It may look like a small amount of batter but I found too many dumplings make the soup goopey. It’s February (when did th30at happen!?!) and you can never have too many soup recipes in your arsenal. ...

Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup
Slow Cooker Beef and Vegetable Soup Of all the soups I've made over the years (I'm really starting to push 40... hard), this soup is without a doubt the best one I've made. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender and the vegetables are seasoned to perfection. This soup is definitely a perk or highlight to the cold crappy weather of ...
Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup
Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Dumpling Soup There is nothing more soul-soothing than a pot of soup cooking away. Except well a soup cooking in a slow cooker is pretty fabulous too.

Steak and Potato Soup with Mushrooms
Steak and Potato Soup with Mushrooms This is a dish I made for a very good friend of mine on a very cold, blah day in February. This soup nourishes both mind and body; she took leftovers home too! Serves 8 ½ tbsp butter 227 g Cremini mushrooms, quartered 8 Cups (Sodium-reduced) beef stock 2 medium russet potatoes, skin on ...
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 ...
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup This is the perfect time of year for this recipe; it’s cold and everyone is rundown and best of all? Even though this is chicken noodle soup, you can use left over turkey in place of chicken and it will be equally delicious! Most importantly though, Merry Christmas! Serves up to 8 1 Batch of my Chicken Stock (about 6 ...
Clam Chowder
Clam Chowder This is without a doubt my favourite Redux! I loved looking through my books for inspiration. I chose the 2012 Taste of Home Annual recipes on p.42, they have a recipe for Clam Chowder that was submitted by Amanda in Idaho. I love how quickly this comes together, especially at this time of year but I also love the feeling of a hot ...
Chicken Stock
Chicken Stock The difference between stock and broth is that stock is made using bones and broth is made using meat. 9 times out of 10 I’ll just use store bought boxed broth because it’s ready-made and really great quality. However, whenever I roast a chicken or have chicken breasts with the bone-in, I make stock with the carcass(s) (I think I’m ...
