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 ...
Tuscan Bean Soup
Tuscan Bean Soup Haha, I keep throwing out these titles like they are accurate! Again to me this constitutes Tuscan and that is that! If you don’t add enough stock here it comes out like pea soup and that is not necessarily the texture you want here although that would be good as well. This soup is thinner than pea soup but thicker than say ...

The starchiness from the potato takes care of ...

Roasted Vegetable Soup
Roasted Vegetable Soup There are so many reasons I love this soup; the preparation is really easy, just wash the veggies, no need to chop off the woody ends of anything. This is a great way to clear out the aged veggies sitting over ripe on your counter or in your fridge. This is versatile, use any veggie you want, this is a method more than ...
Lentil Soup
Lentil Soup It was an exceptionally cold day and I was supposed to go to the grocery store but there was no way I was packing my son up to face that cold weather! What to do, what to do. I chose to take advantage of the situation and challenge myself;I had to make dinner with whatever I had on hand, no going to the store, and no calling Mike and ...
