I have a bit of an obsession with winter squash soup recipes. I collect them like crazy. While I am willing to try almost anything, I always return to my favorites: a simple bisque made with apple, a simple bisque made with chipotle, and a vegetarian bean and corn chili made with a pumpkin base….
Laura’s Mistaken Mulligatawny
Mulligatawny is one of those recipes that is everywhere–and no 2 recipes look the same. As far as I can tell, the only agreed upon fact about mulligatawny is that it is a fusion of British and Indian cuisines–and actually cooked more by the British, I believe, at least originally. It is a good example…
Southwestern Black Bean Soup: It Isn’t Super Healthy, But It Sure Is Tasty!
The first time I tried Dave Lieberman’s Black Bean Soup, I was full of trepidation. There is just something about using canned beans with their liquid that really icks me out. But I forged ahead anyway–I don’t remember why now–and was floored. It was really, really good–but of course it was with all that bacon!…
What Has Your Oven Done For You Lately?
It has browned my chicken. This is the first browned chicken I have seen in a year. I confess to being one of those people who adores chicken skin (despite knowing better) and this is the first chicken skin to have actually tempted me in quite some time. The kitchen in the house we are…
Southwestern Cheese & Summer Squash Soup
I recently learned what the macro button was for on my camera (thanks, Mom!). Many of you are snickering, especially if you have a food blog. The thing is, I started this blog for a few reasons, none of which had anything to do with my amazing photography skills. I love to write and…
What To Do When You Love Your Too-Spicy-For-Children-Soup: Chipotle Turkey Chili Verde & Consequent Chilaquiles
Do you have small children? Can they take heat? I take pride in my children’s diets—they eat, almost without exception, what we eat. The exception is when I make something too hot. I figure it is my fault—after all if they don’t enjoy their tongues burning, who am I to say that’s picky? It IS…
A Variation on Hot, Sour Soups for Sick People: Laura’s Kitchen Sink Sopa de Lima
I am sick again. I am sure it sounds like I have some incurable disease, but actually I think it has just been a bad winter/spring for viruses, I have 2 toddlers, and I catch EVERYTHING. So once again my blogging has slowed down and my pictures have gotten lazy. *sigh* But I do have…
Winter Squash and Tomatillo Soup
I went back and forth about whether to share this next soup with you guys. I served it with the Buttermilk Cornmeal Bread with Chiles and Cheddar, and that right there was probably half the problem—the bread just blew everything else at the meal out of the water. However the second problem was that same…
Ice Bound and Virus-Ridden: Granola, Double Chocolate Shortbread and Smoky Blacky Bean Soup
Ice Bound Part I: The Care Package We are ice bound here, ice bound and sick. It does not make for a good combination, especially because my husband is one of those adults who sees snow/ice days as a nuisance. I am the opposite, which means we are at odds—I always think we should make…
