My man was feeling a little under the weather, so I decided to make some homemade soup. Whole Foods had turkey legs on sale, so Turkey soup was the order of the day. Making soup from scratch (stock and all) is really easy, it just takes a little time…
Stock Ingredients
1 turkey drumstick
1 small onion, quartered

Tonight we had a little asian feast of tom kha soup, vietnamese spring rolls and steamed asparagus. So good and so easy.
Tom Kha Soup:
One can of Thai Kitchen Tom Kha soup, they call it “Coconut Ginger Soup” on the can, with subhead Tom Kha. (This soup is excellent. It comes loaded with spices/flavors, but you [...]
This dinner did require time in advance — a month ago — because I pulled homemade soup out of the freezer. I love making big batches of soup for this very purpose!
This soup is made from a 12 bean soup (mix from Whole Foods), a little bit of ground beef, some sauteed veggies (carrots, onions, [...]

Amy’s Kitchen makes lots of canned soups, sauces, and frozen entrees I really like. I think they’re all organic, and a lot of them are vegan. Some are also wheat-free and gluten-free.
One of my favorites is the Thai Coconut Soup (also called Tom Kha).
The soup is a coconut milk base with authentic Thai spices, including [...]

(Now I have a camera–prepare yourself for pictures from someone who believes that form follows function from a respectable distance!)

Here is my attempt at making that yummy couscous. I have come to 2 conclusions: a) it takes a lot of olive oil – the quality matters, and b) it needs to sit overnight.
Here is what I put in it: butter, EVOO, salt, italian parsely, walnuts, currents (because I didn’t have golden raisins,) mint, cherry [...]

This was pretty good… 1 carton of chicken stock, some frozen corn, 2 cans of rinsed black beans, 1 chicken breast cubed, 1 jalapeño seeded and chopped, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, various spices/herbs to taste (in order, most to least: cumin, chili powder, salt and oregano… and a few other supporting players that probably don’t need [...]

This recipe is one of my winter favorites. Butternut squash comes into season around October, and can keep for months.
This soup is tasty, relatively quick, healthy (or at least free of added sugar and fat), and hard to screw up–the most difficult part is peeling the squash.
The below recipe makes enough to serve 4-6, [...]
