Generally I can take or leave carrots. They are always the last veggie I'd grab on a dip platter, and I really do not like them as big chunks in a salad. However, over the last few years I've started embracing them - but only if they are fresh, sweet and actually have taste (like any veg really). I enjoy them shredded (very important step) in a salad, roasted in my veggie bowls AND blended in soups. I think my distaste for them likely stemmed from the little rounded baby carr

I'm all about "Sunday Soups". There's something deeply satisfying and comforting about digging into a hot bowl of nutritious, brothy goodness, winding down the weekend and re-setting for the week ahead. And I'll admit, it's often consumed on the sofa whilst enjoying some show I'm highly addicted to. Yes, I know - mindless munching in front of the TV is a no no, but sometimes my dear friends, it's allowed. This was my meal this past Sunday, but make no mistake, it's delicious

Hot dang this soup is good. Not only because of it's Thai flavours, which are probably my favourite type, but because it has some depth to it, a little more robust flavour profile than a simple broth and coconut milk base. The good news it's it's dead simple to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. But I do think a high quality curry paste is a must - it absolutely sets the stage for the soup. Really, it's necessary for all the curry dishes you are making at home. I

Soup season has officially arrived!! Although I may be somewhat (terribly) miffed that summer is over and an extremely cold winter is apparently upon us, I can at least drown my sorrows with a bowl and spoon. And if we're honest here, copious amounts of wine. Perhaps it's just the initial shock of summer ending that I have a knee jerk reaction to, and then settle in to cozy nights with warm soulful food, perfect slouchy socks, (OMG, have you seen these & these) burning firepl

I started making this soup a few months ago ~ and my only complaint is that I didn't start making it years ago! I always figured hot & sour soup would be really time consuming and the broth would require an endless list of ingredients. As my husband likely isn't reading this - I can carry on, and say this: I was wrong. This recipe is easy and the list of ingredients is short. The broth is rich and flavourful and really only requires 3 ingredients. Sometimes, when I'm not fee

It feels like I am going through a “less is more” phase in the kitchen. It probably has something to do with the fact that I’m 100%, completely, hands down, DONE with winter. I’m ready for a change. And while we are in this limbo, winter/spring season, I can’t be bothered to cook. I’ll admit it. I’m lazy. While I eagerly anticipate warmer weather and spring, I seem to be content not doing much else whilst waiting for it! This asparagus soup is right up my lazy alley. But it’s
