Egg Drop Soup

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

This recipe is directly from Elise of Simply Recipes. I omitted the green onions and used a generous handful of dried shiitake mushrooms as I did not have any fresh on hand. It made for a nice quick and easy light dinner.

Black Bean and Ham Soup

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

This recipe was inspired by using up leftovers from a recipe for ham baked in cola. It has since evolved into its own recipe, and it's quite a nice filling fall dinner. It isn't quite fall yet, but it's a cooler evening, and wishful thinking took over dinner ...

Chicken Noodle Soup

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Today was a chilly day here in the Pacific Northwest. Snow and cold rain all day. Tonight definitely called for some soup! I made a pot of chicken noodle soup and a little loaf of honey wheat bread in our bread maker. It hit the spot! Chicken ...

French Onion Soup

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

I love French onion soup. It's one of the few ways I can eat onions without getting a migraine. Whatever I'm allergic too seems to be chemically altered in the hour-long caramelization process. Shaun didn't like it, but he's not a fan of onion soups. I based ...

Turkey Noodle Soup

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

This is a quick comforting meal that uses up some of that leftover turkey and stock made from the turkey carcass. I ended up with about 3 quarts of stock from my 13 pound turkey, and it was just the right amount for this soup. Turkey Noodle Soup Serves 6 2 tbsp ...

Cassie’s Chili

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

Chili is one of those foods that everyone has an opinion on - beans or no beans, fresh chiles or canned, and so on. Here is my recipe, which I'm quite partial to ;-) It has quite a kick, so cut down on the cayenne ...

Tomato Soup

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

My parents came back from their week out on the Olympic Peninsula bearing many freshly picked blackberries and blueberries for us :) I'll have to come up with something good to do with them! Since they'd had a late lunch and I had a ...
