meatless monday: mexican potato soup
meatless monday. it’s a movement you may have noticed around the food blogosphere. you can read all about it here, but the basic idea promotes a low meat diet as a way of preventing health conditions like obesity, diabetes & cardiovascular disease, while reducing impact on the environment. all good things. i gave vegetarianism a [...]
hot & sour soup
confession time: when i’m sick i don’t want chicken noodle soup. i don’t really care for it. i mean, in a moment of desperation i will whip up some lipton double noodle envelope soup, but then it gets a healthy dose of frank’s red hot sauce or a good dash of cajun seasoning, because i [...]
black bean soup
easy, healthy & satisfying.this is it. it’s the perfect meal to throw together when you’re too tired for much else. the chiles bring big flavor, without packing much heat & the smoked, sweet paprika lends an intense heartiness without the addition of any meat. there’s such great flavor, you’ll be surprised it’s so simple. serves [...]

cajun shrimp bisque
don’t let the name fool you…this isn’t a thick, rich & full of cream kind of bisque. it’s more like a welcome back to reality after a holiday, your pants are a little tight & you don’t need the guilt kind of bisque. lightened up with lowfat, or even skim milk, this subtly spicy soup, [...]
rick bayless’s black bean soup
i love soup. i’ve said it before, but i really do. people also love rick bayless & i was looking forward to jumping on that bandwagon & cooking with dried beans & fennel & one of his recipes for the first time. all the other ingredients are winners, and i even had enough time to [...]
moroccan chickpea soup
i am pleased to bring you the first soup of the season, because the weather around here is starting to feel a little cooler (aka not 90+ degrees) & it looks like it just might stick around for a bit. plus, i like soup a lot & this is a fabulous one to kick off [...]
