Sometimes you just need some comfort. Yesterday was not a great day for me. In fact, it was terrible. Before I got home I decided that a nice, warm, creamy bowl of soup would fit the bill. I have been craving mushroom soup for a few weeks, ever since having some rather superb mushroom soup [...]
I always forget how easy soups are to make. One of my favorite soups is cream of chicken. For the longest time I would buy the soup from the deli of the grocery store because I quite simply never thought to make it myself. I am kicking myself about it now because not only [...]
I’ve established that I used to be in a potato rut. No longer, I am happy to report, and this recipe proves it. Potato soup is something I love to eat but never really make. The last recipe I tried made a large pot of what can best be described as wall paper paste. So, [...]
I was not really a big fan of butternut squash until last winter. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I had only ever had it baked or steamed with some butter. BORING! So, I decided to try adding butternut squash into different recipes. I figured out pretty early on I liked [...]

For the last few weeks, when the Texas weather cycles between pleasant to bone chilling cold, I have been craving bowls of steamy hot soup. Let me begin by saying I have never been much of a soup person. It isn’t that I dislike soup, or that I think badly of soup, but when it [...]
Last night I made a pot of chili, but rather than use ground steak I used chopped turkey breast. Aside from being a lot better for you, and from being a clever way of using up more of the turkey meat from Thanksgiving, it was DARN tasty. You really don’t miss the beef, and using [...]
