This is one flavorful vegan soup! Even though I know better, it’s still sometimes hard to think of vegetarian/vegan soups as something complex and flavorful. Meat adds a lot of flavorful layers to a soup, even if there’s a lot of vegetables mixed in. However, this soup is definitely not lacking in complex flavors! Read more
This is a lovely fragrant soup. I’m trying to use my slow cooker more, but I think this would be just as easy to make on a stovetop. One of my problems with using the slow cooker is that usually everything turns out so meaty. Vegetarian meals don’t hold up to the long slow cookingRead more

My poor mom had some dental work done this week and has been feeling under the weather. So in an effort to get her back in tip-top shape, or at least eating again, I created this soup for her. It’s a quick soup, but tastes great: creamy and comforting, just what you need when you’reRead more
This is a great soup! I adapted the recipe to include more veggies and I left out the rice. I was going to add in some barley, but my pot was too full! But honestly I don’t think anyone missed it. Everyone went back for seconds, and I was glad I’d made enough that we’dRead more

This is an old family recipe. My mom’s grandma would make this every spring just as the green beans came up in the garden. It’s a great, easy recipe that’s total comfort food. I actually made this using a frozen ham hock that we saved from Easter. You can also just buy a ham hockRead more
Spring can be a challenging time of year, at least in the DC area. The weather jumps around like crazy, sometimes it’s under 50, and a day or two later it can be over 80. The mornings and nights are cold, but the afternoons are delightfully warm. All I want to do is embrace theRead more
This soup is a wonderful, fragrant, slightly sweet, slightly spicy and completely delicious. It’s a perfect warming soup for the last cold days of winter.
