Crockpot Spanish Chicken and Chickpea soup by John Spottiswood

This is a great, hearty soup with a wonderful flavor. It has enough vegetables and legumes to make it healthy, with some meat added for flavor. We served it with a side salad and artisan bread. Enjoy!

Alton Brown Lentil Soup

Alton Brown Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one by Alton Brown. I added spinach, potatoes, and scallions and removed grains of paradise. Our whole family really enjoyed this recipe. I made it alongside an Indian curried lentil soup recipe, and while both were good, this was the hands down winner. If you're looking for a tasty, hearty, and healthy…

Moroccan Split Pea Soup

Moroccan Split Pea Soup by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and beautiful recipe I adapted from one in Paula Wolfert's beautiful book "the food of morocco". The split pea soup has wonderful Moroccan flavors, and it gets a beautiful touch when you drizzle homemade pepper oil on top. This is a super easy trick which adds a nice kick to the already flavorful soup. It's…

Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup

Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup by John Spottiswood

I never thought I would have a red lentil soup that could match the Turkish red lentil soup that I have been served in Turkish restaurants and that I've learned to make. So I had low expectations for this Indian spiced version. It completely destroyed my expectations and was absolutely delicious. It was great last night, and I had…

Umbrian Lentil Soup

Umbrian Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

We're going to Italy this summer with our family, so I'm trying some dishes from the areas we'll be staying. We're staying near Gubbio in Umbria, and will be visiting a number of the famous hill towns there, so I thought I'd try this Umbrian Lentil Soup. This soup has a warm inviting aroma and a country heartiness to it. The original…

Creole Vegetable and Beef Soup

Creole Vegetable and Beef Soup by John Spottiswood

This was a tasty soup that we gladly ate two nights in a row. I added quite a bit of extra creole seasoning to my bowl, because I love the flavor. This soup would still have been wonderful without the meat (I scooped much of mine into our kids' bowls), but I'd keep the meat in in if you are not vegetarian as it adds depth to the…

Famous Nagano Kabucha & Shitake Soup

Famous Nagano Kabucha & Shitake Soup by John Spottiswood

When I lived in Japan for 2 years I was introduced to many delicious foods. One of my most distinct food memories is of a hot, piping Kabucha (Japanese Pumpkin) soup I had in Nagano Prefecture after a very cold day of skiing. As is common in Japan, this was a small restaurant which was famous for and served almost nothing other than…

Italian Chick Pea Soup

Italian Chick Pea Soup by John Spottiswood

Chickpeas are one of my favorite ingredients in soup. They don't lose their texture or their nutty flavor. Whether in a spicy Harira (served during Ramadan) or in this mild flavored Italian soup, Chickpeas make soup both nutritious and delicious. This soup has been popular in Italian homes for over 1000 years, and it was…
