Mex-Italian Chili by Chef Wannabee

One day I threw this together and everyone loved it sooooo much that now I have to make it all the time! It’s a little spicy, a little Tex-Mex, and a little Italian too! After I started calling it Mex-Italian Chili, the name stuck. Now I crave it all the time - whatever the season, it’s Mex-Italian Chili time! I like chicken…

Weeknight Minestrone by Salad Foodie

This is a speedy version of the classic Italian minestrone. The food processor does the chopping and bottled marinara saves additional time, without compromising flavorful results. Based on Laura Vitale’s recipe in her cookbook Laura In The Kitchen (2015).

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie

Inspired by a recipe from New Paradigm Cooking (Sandbach, Terranova and Ware), I chose to forego the cookbook’s recommended 30 minutes simmering time in a stockpot, for a pressure cooker rendition which cut the cooking time to well under 10 minutes…

Jamaican Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash & Quinoa by Gina Small

For a vegan version of this delicious stew, replace the chicken with about 1-1/2 lbs of mushrooms, beef broth with vegetable broth, & omit the half & half.

Sugar Pumpkin Curry Cream Soup by Amos Miller

We grow sugar pumpkins and after the harvest, I always break them down and puree them and pop them into the freezer for a long Winter's use. In addition to pies (of course), tarts, cookies, breads, custard and sauce - I love sugar pumpkin soup. As you can imagine, this member of the squash family is somewhat sweeter, has fewer seeds…

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

My Favorite Everyday Chili by Denise Sherin

There's nothing like a hearty warm bowl of chili. My son loves chili and loves scooping it with tortilla chips. I know some people serve chili over rice or pasta but I am a chili purist. Just chili in the bowl and a nice piece of italian bread. Serve it how you like and top it with what ever you like.. shredded cheddar, sour cream…

Hala Kahiki Chili - Pineapple Chili by Denise Sherin

Hala Kahiki means Pineapple, this is a tropical pineapple chili. It's a nice change from regular chili. It sweet and tangy. My son still eats it with tortilla chips but King's Hawaiian sweet rolls are nice with this recipe.

After Thanksgiving Turkey Noodle Soup by Denise Sherin

There's nothing better than a basic Turkey noodle soup. We all look forward to this after Thanksgiving. This is my version of Turkey noodle soup. The water and veggie amounts listed are approx. use what you need depending on the amount you are making. Hope you enjoy it.

Cheddar Potato Soup by Chef Smith

Great way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. If you don't have any you can always use the instant taters...I just like the homemade ones that have a few chunks left in them....

Chicken Potpie Soup by Salad Foodie

Chicken potpie is one of the all-time favorite comfort foods, but not too many of us labor making the pie crust version with the yummy creamy filling. Enter Chicken Potpie Soup! I used Sara Moulton's Everyday Family Dinners' recipe as a starting point, where garlic buttered croutons made from lavash thin bread (not crackers) or flour…

Cream of Vegetable Soup by Salad Foodie

A good base comfort soup for the winter season. Cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, onions and garlic predominate, but you can rifle through the veggie bin and sub out others like spinach, zucchini, parsnips, etc. and you can increase or decrease the ratios of vegetables to your preference. About 9 cups of raw vegetables are needed. When…

McNamara Clans Favorite Chili by Cindy McNamara

Just whipped up a batch of this rich, beefy chili for Super Bowl Sunday. We love to top it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, shredded cheese, green onion and fried corn tortilla strips. I like a squeeze of lime on mine too. Its always better the second day and makes excellent filling for baked potatoes, burritos or for nachos.
