I have only made this deliciously subtle soup one time because I felt it was very labor intensive. However, it tastes really and truly gourmet to me and I have craved it many times since. I would use this recipe to begin a really fancy meal. It serves 6 but only very small helpings. Three very hungry people devoured it and wished for much, much more. …
Easy Asparagus Soup
This is a simple, satisfying recipe. Tasty too. My kids aren’t crazy about anything green except peas and broccoli so I don’t make it often….
Allyson’s Lentil Soup
There is nothing fancy here. Just down-home cooking. Simple. Flavorful. And CHEAP! And did I mention easy? I usually prefer red lentils but in some recipes you just have to use the green (brown) ones that you can get in any grocery store. This soup is excellent served over brown rice….
Renée’s Tomato Soup
This is pure goodness! I love the addition of sun-dried tomatoes that give it a deeper flavor. We all love this recipe best with grilled cheese sandwiches-which we used to eat more of before my panini maker threw itself off the pantry shelf and exploded on the floor. That was a sad, sad day in the Beckwith household. Coconut milk or almond milk can be used to make it vegan but it won’t be quite as thick. …
Mabecca’s Lasagna Soup
My sweet sister shared this recipe with me in her cookbook “Dishing Up Deliciousness”. Everyone in our family loves it. There are some recipes that are so easy they are surprise you by how delicious they are. This is one of those….
Mom’s Potato Soup
This is a family favorite from my mom. I love that it has a lighter, tangier taste than other potato soups I have tried. The difference? Leeks are used instead of onions, buttermilk rather than heavy cream, and Gruyere (pure deliciousness) instead of cheddar cheese. For a fancy lunch or light dinner I like to pair this with the Greek pita sandwiches. Always double this recipe….
Potato Corn Chowder
This is my kid’s favorite soup. My one son, William didn’t like potatoes for the longest time so we just called this corn soup and he ate it with pleasure, never realizing there were potatoes in it. I try not to think about how exceptionally fattening this is. This is not for those who are watching their cholesterol!…
Spring Vegetable Soup with Pesto
Pesto brings out the fresh character of this soup. You can top each bowl with a spoonful before serving, or pass it in a small bowl at the table for guests to help themselves….
Moroccan Lentil Soup
This soup is deliciously spicy, completely vegetarian, has no cholesterol, and is high in protein and fiber. It is brimming with vegetables, chickpeas, white beans, and red lentils, and seasoned with cardamom, garam masala, cumin, and fresh ginger. Great served over brown rice.My kids will eat this. …
Garlicky Lentil Soup
This picture looks like puke, I know, but hey, I’m no photographer. I just know that this soup is amazing and I get asked for the recipe every time I make it. (I’m not kidding!) It is simple and cheap to make. Do not make this recipe if you are not a fan of onions or garlic….
