Tomato Soup
It doesn’t get more classic than some tomato soup and a grilled cheese. Such a fabulous combination! My tomato soup used to be Campbell’s… but I’ve been wanting to make it from scratch lately – because everything’s better from scratch, right?!? I’ve had this recipe floating in my head for a couple of weeks and this weekend I finally got the chance to make this soup a reality. It was really, really good. It reminded me of awesome tomato soup I’ve had at Zoe’s Kitchen. Anyways, I will be making this again for sure. Hope you enjoy! Tomato Soup 2 tbsp olive oil 1 large sweet onion, diced 3 stalks…

Soup, soup, soup!
I’ve been in a real soup making mood lately. Two weekends ago it was Italian Sausage and White Bean Soup, then last weekend I made up a Mexican Chicken and Rice Soup and Baked Potato Soup. All so good and so different. Enjoy! **** Italian sausage and white bean soup – My boys both love sausage, so I try to use it pretty frequently. I made this a couple of months ago for the first time and shared it with my neighbors. They loved it and I loved it, and I’ve been a slacker for waiting this long to post the recipe – sorry guys! 🙂 Italian Sausage and White Bean…

Chicken and Rice Soup with Lemon
Today is my second day home with sick kiddos. They’ve been sick with the flu, but I’m happy to report they are starting to feel better! I made this soup for lunch today in hopes it would aid in the “feel better” efforts and both boys enjoyed it. My husband (the real chef) first introduced me to chicken soup with lemon, which at first I thought was a weird combination. Lemon in soup?? That is, until I tried it. I was wrong, he was right (I don’t say this often), and the soup was darn good. So when I asked him this morning for some details on how he made…

White Chicken Chili
White chicken chili… yum, yum, yum! I’ve been making this chili for a couple of years and it continues to be a crowd pleaser. It’s a pretty simple recipe with no cream soups – just chicken stock and cream cheese to make it creamy. I made this yesterday because the cold and wet day had me craving something warm – it did the trick! And as I sit here eating the leftovers for lunch, I’m again warm and cozy and enjoying this yummy chili. White Chicken Chili 1 tbsp olive oil 1 large sweet onion, chopped 1 tsp minced garlic 3 cups shredded chicken (2-3 chicken breasts, boiled or about…

Beef Vegetable Soup with Garlic Cheddar Biscuits
Another beautiful fall weekend means more soup cooking in my kitchen. Vegetable soup is one of my all-time favorites… my mom used to make it for me when I was growing up. And by the way, vegetable soup to me means beef vegetable soup because that’s just how I roll. I used my fav organic ground beef from Costco, lots and lots of fresh veggies, a box of tomatoes and only used cans for the beans. Depending on what I have on hand sometimes I vary the vegetables (zucchini is good in this too), but the one thing that I must have is the cabbage. It adds such an awesome flavor…

Lentil Soup
It’s a rainy Saturday in Georgia – a perfect day for soup. I found this recipe on a blog I follow, Aly GarlicHands, and it looked so great I had to try it. Plus I have lentils in my pantry that have been begging to be cooked – so all the conditions were right to make a big pot of soup, and boy was that a great idea! I had to make a couple of modifications based on what I had on hand. You see, the only thing worse than attempting the grocery store with two little ones by yourself is doing so in the rain. As I like to…

Broccoli and Cheese Soup
Okay, okay, I know it’s not quite “soup weather” – it’s still in the mid-80’s here in Atlanta. However, it is September and Starbuck’s is serving Pumpkin Spice Latte’s… so, it’s getting close and I’m going to start making soup anyways! My first soup of the season is a Broccoli and Cheese Soup. It’s a little different than your standard B & C – it has a thinner broth and is loaded with veggies. This recipe was inspired from one I found on Pinterest, and I followed it pretty closely except that I added a lot more broccoli. I couldn’t get the boys to eat any (they’re not much for…
