Mixed Bean and Sausage Soup by Salad Foodie

Soup recipes are so versatile with easily adjusted ingredients and flavors to match family tastes. Such is Mixed Bean and Sausage Soup! Mix your own combination of beans, purchase them packaged or from bulk bins, or just use one bean rather than a mix of them, such as black or pinto beans. Go vegetarian if you prefer, or use your…

Golden Winter Soup by Kimberly Lindstrom

A deceptively simple but REALLY delicious soup. Leeks and potatoes provide the base for this hearty vegetable soup, and butternut squash adds a hint of sweetness. If you have the time, saute the leeks first until caramelized... if not, it's delicious as written. Gruyère toasts are optional... I often just grate a bit of gruyere…

Pork & Corn Chili by John Spottiswood

Most Southwestern chilis include pinto or black beans. However, this is a true Indian chili with corn instead of beans, and it is a great example of native American cooking. You will love the complex and complementary flavors. We love the healthful aspects of beans, so we've added Garbanzo beans to this recipe. You can feel free…

Zippy Tomato Soup by Sara Gray

Wow! When my mother-in-law, Margie, introduced me to her Zippy Tomato Soup, I became an instant convert! And that's saying a lot because up until then, I was not a big fan of the red soup. But that has changed and you'll see why when you try it too. You can use this soup as an appetizer or starter for any party or gathering.…

Quick and Creamy Blender Tomato Soup by Mary Shaldibina

Quick and easy tomato soup with celery. Instead of can tomatoes with herbs you can use plain tomatoes with 1 tsp of an Italian seasoning. Notice, that canned tomatoes may be salted already so you don't need extra salt.

Meatless Fridays #1– Vegetarian Chili by Ed Schenk

This is the first in a series of meatless Friday posts. Today we are having vegetarian chili. Lately even if I make chili with meat I add just a little bit.

Split Pea Soup with Baby Purple Crusted Baked Potatoes by Kiki Thompson

Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted last. Things have been insanely busy around here. We had family in town for a month. I was also struggling to come up with recipes that were less fattening but still tasted good, so I needed that time as well to get my creative cooking skills into gear :) Anyway, last night I really wanted…

Baby Cauliflower Soup by Jennie McCluskey

Packed with healthy veggies, a soup for the kids. This soup I have made for my infant and toddler. Try it. You might like it. Hopefully, more importantly, they will like it! If you have trouble getting them to eat it, which I doubt, then freeze it in an ice cube tray and take out a cube and mix into your kids mashed potatoes or…

Hearty, nourishing, delicious, nutritious, and dead easy to make.
