Cheesy Cauliflower and Potato Soup
By Lisa

Chicken and Dumpling Soup
Chicken and Dumpling Soup This is what we had for dinner tonight and Mike loved it 🙂 I can’t help it, it’s winter and it’s cold and crappy and I love soup. I love everything about soup, the smell and the warmth while it cooks, curling up with a blanket and watching the snow fall…

Cheesy Broccoli Soup
Cheesy Broccoli Soup My very good friend asked me to recreate a broccoli and cheese soup she absolutely adores from one of her favourite restaurants. I’ve never actually eaten it so it made it quite difficult. So rather than come up with a way to replicate that soup I decided I would make a soup…
