Soup

We decided to host a lunch for our neighbors and try something new: soup! Which soups to make? Split pea? Quinoa curry lentil? Gypsy? Carrot? Something new? I asked Wanda what her favorite soup was,...

When Munira lived nearby, she’d make a yummy vegetable dal soup. I’ve wanted to give it a try for awhile now, and after buying pounds of red and mung dal at Costco, decided it was time. I...

Elsa and John came over for dinner, and I was inspired to make a soup with white beans to serve with a hearty whole wheat bread. I searched and looked at a few recipes, chose this Tuscan white bean...

Larry put Japanese miso powder on his Christmas wish list; he wanted powder since paste can go bad if you don’t use it up quickly. Good thing, since we just opened the jar today, 5 months later!...

We love Field Roast sausage, and often buy 12-packs of apple, Italian, and Mexican Chipotle sausage for pool party bbqs. The chipotle is too spicy to eat straight, but is great in a soup! A quick...
