Thanks dad, and sorry I ever doubted you 😘 This recipe was originally published on 06 December, 2016 My father's favourite soup; a classic, rustic Italian soup ...
Soup
Turkey and Corn Chowder
Turkey and Corn Chowder I mentioned it previously; it’s soup season! Also, as a proud Canadian girl I celebrated Thanksgiving last week and naturally there were leftovers! With that said any cooked poultry will do. This was originally posted on 16 October, 2015 :) SaveSave SaveSave ...
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
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. Enter dumplings. A slow cooker soup with dumplings; now that's awesome! This is what we had on Halloween. Picture trick or treating in the cold and ...
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 ...
