Nana’s Spanish Saffron Chicken Soup (Paleo)

This is a  bowl of nostalgia! The first time I made this I was nervous about using just water and not adding some broth but I wanted to follow Nana’s recipe so I didn’t change it. I’m so glad! It is perfect as is. Exactly as I remember it as a child. Spanish saffron is [...]

Butternut Squash Soup

My co-worker brought this into work for Soup Day and it was so delicious I had to ask for the recipe. I’ll be making this at Thanksgiving but also whenever I want something light, flavorful and substantive enough to be a meal. I made some very minor tweaks for my taste. As a side note, [...]

I threw this together last night based on what I had in the house after being gone for five days and not having been grocery shopping since Thanksgiving.

Buffalo Chicken Soup

Chicken Soup

It’s probably the weather, but I was really craving some homemade chicken soup so I whipped some up in the crockpot the other day. While I’m thinking of it, I own the world’s MOST PATHETIC food processor. Seriously. I really don’t want to go out and buy a new one, but this thing is really [...]

The Veggie Soup With The Little Meatballs

This is a recipe I put together after taking elements from a bunch of different recipes. It has a really nice, light and bright flavor. It’s not overly salty but it’s definitely not bland. Also, it’s a relatively inexpensive meal since part of the protein source is canned beans. The Veggie Soup With The Little [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup

I roasted a chicken this weekend and then boned it to make a soup. Erin had mentioned something about Chicken Tortilla Soup the other night on the phone (hmm, Erin and I sure do talk a lot about food and cooking, don’t we?) and that sounded damn tasty, so this is what I put together [...]
