Soup

This simple pureed soup features broth, zucchini, onion, garlic and olive oil. Easy to make
and delicious to eat. This soup is perfect for mid summer when your garden (or the grocery
stores) is bursting with fresh squash. Pair with a garden salad and crusty garlic bread for
a complete meal. Enjoy!

I love the vibrant and varied colors and flavors of Thai cuisine. Sweet, sour, savory and spice are all combined for a delightful dish. This soup is traditionally made with somewhat exotic ingredients such as galangal and lemongrass - which most people don’t have on hand. So this simple recipe uses, “standard” kitchen fare to mimic the exotic authentic taste.

Egg drop soup is traditionally a Chinese dish also know as egg flower soup. This simple recipe features a light broth, noodles, veggies and two beaten eggs which when “dropped” or poured into the soup’s boiling broth adds the finish touch of thin silken strands of cooked egg. For a vegan alternative, use cubed tofu in place of the egg.

Lentils are a hearty, nutrition-packed yet inexpensive food. This stew pairs lentils with chunks of veggies and a lite tangy broth. Let this stew simmer in the crock pot all day or whip it up in under an hour before dinner.

This homemade tomato soup is bursting with flavor! Oven roasted tomatoes and fresh basil is pureed into a rich creamy treat. Grilled cheese sandwiches, or dipping bread are perfectly paired with this creamy soup.
