If you’re not feeling well… And you live on my block you might be surprised with a fresh bowl of chicken soup, filipino style. Thank you Roselyn! It was just what I needed for my upset stomach. But you don’t need to be under the weather to appreciate this delicious soup. If you’re into cellophane noodles, chicken and ginger this is the soup for you. And of course a side of white rice is mandatory. 😉 I like it right on top!
Deliciously hearty for the chilly weather ahead, Portuguese Lentil Soup with a bit of cinnamon. The mild flavor of the pork meatballs allow the spices to shine through. The perfect comfort food for cold weather.
Only days to Fall 2018 and soups are on our menu … Maybe not the Cold Cucumber! These are Low Carb Soups but you don’t need to be on a Ketogenic Diet to appreciate how delicious they are. Start with this new soup recipe, Cream of Cauliflower, with thanks to Robert Wilson author of Kentogenic Diet who provided the basics for this recipe.
Albondigas Soup
Cold Cucumber Soup
Pizza Soup
Spicy Tomato Soup
This recipe was adapted from California Olive Ranch’s Classic Summer Gazpacho with Feta Crema, a whole different take on Gazpacho. Of course it includes olive oil from California Olive Ranch. Make no mistake their olive oil is competitive with the best in domestic and imported. I can count on its consistent good quality. No advertisement here just my experience. About the Gazpacho, it’s an interesting take and worth the effort.
I did change it up a bit with peeling the tomatoes and I do recommend a sweet red onion instead of the sometimes bitterness a shallot can produce. Give it a try and let me know what you feel about the results. Enjoy!
Here is my Family Loved Recipe of Gazpacho.
Can’t believe I ate the whole thing! I didn’t but wanted to! Deliciously Simple! Not into linguica try chourico!
Still working on my garden Romas … Just a few pounds left before I need to harvest again. Any good tomatoes will do for this tasty Portuguese Soup. Romas just happen to be my favorite. The few ingredients here come together, including the hot linguica, to make this a truly satisfying lunch or dinner. (For vegetarian try this Portuguese Spicy Tomato Soup too.) Today’s recipe can easily be a 30 minute to table meal. Maybe even 20. Your family will love it so much you better double the recipe!
And before Julia Child there was Fannie Farmer. My Mother in her later years acquired a Fannie Farmer Cookbook, a cookbook that was first published in 1896. Mother came from old school and followed recipes to the letter. She loved the simplicity of this cookbook. And no one was complaining about the delicious results. After Mother’s death I acquired her small collection of cookbooks. The one I cherished had long disappeared, a gift to my Mother from my Dad at their first Christmas. As my Mother tells it, she cried and cried when she opened the gift. At the age of 10 as she told the story I wasn’t sure … did she love it or hate it. For many years this Good Housekeeping Cookbook was her go-to.
This Onion Soup recipe is influenced by Fannie Farmer’s 6 ingredient recipe. No beef stock or broth. Has an amazing depth in flavor.
This chicken soup is not just for flu or cold season but if your family is stricken this More than Chicken Soup may help soothe those miserable symptoms. A friend of mine was under the weather and I just had to try this recipe. We’ve all heard of the benefits of chicken soup. But all chicken soups are not equal. Do chicken soups leave you searching for flavor? <yes, often> Do you find the chicken bland no matter how spicy the broth? <yes, often> Not here! The chicken is spiced up & oven roasted, adding to soup just before serving. I was a little tentative about the recipe since my friend is not into curry. Nope! The recipe doesn’t have curry powder but it has several spices (no turmeric) found in curry. He loved it! Yep, he feels much better today.
Thank you Baker by Nature for this Flu Fighter Chicken Noodle Soup recipe. Please forgive me if I change it ever so slightly.
Some mornings I wake and am craving what I had for dinner. This is one of those mornings! Some prefer fruit for breakfast but give me a vegetable even if it’s V8! Yep! I had this for breakfast! Leftovers that is. Worried about the garlic breath? Well, only the pesto is garlic laden. And the garlic toast. Ha!
Mini-meatballs are ready to drop into the broth. Next on Kitchen Getaway! Using my meatball recipe. But if you need a 20 minute meal use store-bought meatballs instead. Trader’s is great at convenience, including turkey meatballs.
Few ingredients … simple recipe … stick to your ribs kinda soup! Check out my 50+ soups!
