Soup and Stew Recipes
Apple Cider Chili
Today, I have the great privilege of sharing with you a guest recipe by Phoebe Canakis. Phoebe and I became acquainted through Fig magazine for which we are both contributors. With memories of dinner around the table that were created on a budget and not from a box and with roots in a Greek heritage,…
Asparagus Egg Noodle Soup (Gluten Free Option)
My kids love this soup because it tastes great. I love it for its taste, but also for the utter ease of preparation. With asparagus season upon us, I will cook this soup many times. While I started making this soup with angel hair pasta many years ago, I now often make it with rice…
Cheesy Potato Soup with Roasted Poblano, Greens and Bacon…and the Top 10 Flavor Trends
Since I first accepted the new role as a flavor correspondent for Sargento, working in conjunction with Rick Bayless’ list of Top 10 Food Trends, I have started to experiment with new ingredients and combinations and to read about some of the ethnic cuisines that are less familiar to me. I am having fun in…

Braised Chicken with Rice and Spinach
This Greek-inspired, one-pot meal requires a slow braise but is largely hands-off and rewards you with exceptional flavor. Wholesome comfort food at its best. AND THE WINNER OF THE COOKBOOK IS…..

White Bean Soup with Kale and Cheese Toast (Slow Cooker)
This is one of those meals I have been cooking for years and I look forward to a warm bowl of it when the nights are cold. The aroma wafting from the kitchen takes me right back to my grandmother’s kitchen. It’s the ham hock. The good smell it produces is matched only by the…
Chicken Tortilla Soup
A brimming pot of this wholesome soup is a filling favorite in our house. Topped with grated cheese and a few crushed tortilla chips, it’s extra special! Last year, as I was pondering what to give to several of my friends for Christmas, I struggled to think of something they would really need or want.…
Cauliflower Leek Soup with Parmesan and Bacon
The arrival of cooler weather always puts me in the mood for steamy, savory bowls of soup. Each fall, I start with one of my favorite tomato soup recipes (see the “Soup” category for my top two tomato picks), then work my way through butternut squash and several other fall vegetables before starting in on…
Roasted Tomato Soup
Roasting the tomatoes, onion, and garlic heightens their flavors, and what could be easier than scraping the contents of the baking sheet into a food processor and blending with a few additional ingredients? In my family, there are some who prefer cold tomato soups and some who prefer hot. The great thing about this delicious…
Grass-Fed Beef and Lentil Soup
A hearty soup that’s also healthy–perfect for a cold winter’s night or when you need a little comfort food. I think leftovers are great if they don’t taste like…well…leftovers! This recipe will make plenty of leftovers you’ll be grateful to have. Freezes well, too, although the recipe can easily be cut in half. Perfect as…
