My friend Missy is doing a meatball cooking challenge this year, and I was thus inspired to make Italian wedding soup, because hooray meatballs. I used Ina’s recipe, because I’ve had luck with it in the past. The (turkey) meatballs were a little bland, but I also didn’t have every single thing on hand. Still really good, especially leftover!
This was a great, easy slow cooker recipe. I love white chili, but haven’t really found a good one. I used The Kitchn’s as a base, and as usual it was awesome. I adjusted to taste, but I’m replicating the recipe as is so that you can change as you like. Lots of leftovers and easy to freeze, so great for lunches or last minute meals later. I like to top with cheese (obviously 😉 ).
This was a very flavorful, thick soup that was great on a cold day. I used homemade enchilada sauce in the recipe, and lightened it with reduced fat cheese. If you don’t have masa harina, you can substitute corn meal. This, like the enchilada sauce, is also from Gimme Some Oven.
This was a great, quick soup for lunch with a lot of flavor. Recipe came from Cooking Light – it was supposed to be a way to use up leftover stuffed peppers, but I just broiled the peppers on their own. The recipe called for red peppers, but I used green and it was great. You could definitely add anything you like to this – ground turkey or beef, shredded chicken, etc. We’ll make it again.
You have to love a recipe that combines two comfort foods – pot pie and soup! And if you’re a huge fan of all things comfort food like Shawn is, this is totally a winner in our house. I confess that I’ve never really had actual pot pie, but I liked this a lot, and Shawn said it tastes like the real thing…in soup form, anyway. This was great with some crusty bread (yeah yeah, this was not a low carb weekend, not even a little 😉 ). A nice winter soup to have again on a pending snow-day.
Shawn makes the best soups, and this butternut squash with an array of different veggies was definitely right up there with my favorites he’s made. This makes a lot, is very adaptable, and *very* filling. We had this with some garlic flatbread crackers for dipping, but honestly this is so filling that a side isn’t needed. Great for lunches!
Flavorful, versatile and filling soup using kale, chicken sausage, and black beans. You could easily substitute cannellini or great northern beans if you like, and you would do just as well with spinach as kale. This made approximately 6 servings, plenty of leftovers for lunch! I chose a chicken sausage with spinach and feta for this, but I think a sundried tomato or Italian would also be nice. We really enjoyed it.
One of my all time favorites, and Shawn’s too…I guess it’s the New England in us both! This was a great treat on Thanksgiving-eve and we’re thinking it’s a new holiday tradition for us. This would be excellent with fresh clams, however canned whole baby clams or steamers are perfectly great as well. Definitely a favorite and makes tons of leftovers!
Hello November! Time for stews. 🙂 I love Ethiopian food, so this take on beef stew was fun to make and very tasty. My one complaint…way too much cayenne. I can handle heat, but I felt like this overshadowed the fantastic spice mix that helped to make up the sauce. That said, I made this with double the liquid and a smidgen of the cayenne compared to the original recipe, so maybe I am becoming a pepper wuss? Either way, we’ll definitely make this again, but I may use a different method to get a little heat. This came from Sunset magazine originally, and I served it with steamed rice and Moroccan carrots.
This is a new recipe we got from Eating Well magazine, and it’s pretty good. It needed some extra pepper, but I think there’s a lot of potential to season this to your tastes, and I would make it again. The recipe suggests to use plain yogurt for garnish, but I actually added a couple of generous spoonfuls to the soup for some added tang.
Om nom nom!
