Soup, Stew, and Chili

Italian Beef Stew (Crockpot)

January 23, 2012

Can we pretend that I just didn’t use the word “stew?” Because half of the adults in this house turn a sickly shade of green at the very mention of the word. I’ll admit, it’s not the most appetizing word. And maybe it doesn’t always conjure up the most appetizing images. But contrary to what [...]

PPQ: Texas Tortilla Soup

January 8, 2012

Amanda chose this week’s Project Pastry Queen challenge: Texas Tortilla Soup. I was super happy to put this on the menu this week. One, our oven is broken (waaah!) and that has really messed with my mind. And our menu. Second, I’ve posted the soup before and it was in dire need of a new [...]

Light Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

January 3, 2012

Happy 2012! After a wonderfully overindulgent December, we are in total detox mode over here.

The [...]

Strawberry Soup

May 27, 2011

After an “exhausting” day of snorkeling, and lounging by the pool with bottomless rum punches on our honeymoon in the Caribbean, the Foodie Groom and I managed to tear ourselves away from paradise for a late lunch.

Asparagus Soup with Herbed Goat Cheese

December 29, 2010

Asparagus are one of my favorite vegetables. I eat them in exactly two ways: roasted simply with olive oil, salt, and pepper or cold, tossed with lemon juice and goat cheese. When it gets cold, we seem to indulge in heartier, unhealthier comfort foods by habit. Creamy soups, butter-laden pastas, and meaty chilis. What I [...]

DIY: Homemade Chicken/Turkey Stock

November 30, 2010

The worst thing about making chicken pot pie is de-meating the rotisserie chicken. It just might be the worst cooking-related task ever. I hate it more than I hate unloading the dishwasher. And that’s really saying something. The best thing about making chicken pot pie is the chicken pot pie. (Duh.) The second best thing? [...]

Beef (or Turkey) Chili

March 2, 2010

$Shannon\'s Chili$

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Texans! Or “Frito Pie and Shiner Day,” however you see fit to celebrate. Jason and I have our ideas about what good chili is – and is supposed to be. Me – ridiculously spicy with no beans or ground beef (cubed beef cuts only). Jason – no beans, thick [...]
