It’s really not so hard, and so rewarding. Just think, you get to use your vegetable scraps twice (first in stock, then in your compost) and your heart will swell with pride everytime you thaw a container of your homemade stock for a soup or sauce base. 1. Wash your vegetables before chopping or [...]

Curried Coconut Squash Soup
There are so many versions of this delicious soup out there, I’m sure that you’ll find a variation to love. Fry some garlic and ginger with a bit of butter. Add some curry spices (cinnamon, coriander, curry, etc.) and toast them lightly in a pan. Take some cooked squash (better yet if it’s already pureed!) [...]

Squash Chowder
I know that’s it’s too hot to cook soup. But last night, I did it anyway. We are absolutely swimming in tomatoes (such a lucky problem!) and I had leftover corn and squash from last week’s CSA to use. This is a simple, basic chowder recipe from a Simply in Season, a cookbook I’ve been [...]

Radishes and Greens
Did you know that you can use EVERY part of the radish? My CSA was filled with radishes this month. Not being much of a radish eater, I had to search around for recipes and ideas, and have already found many. I made a soup with the peppery radish greens and some homemade vegetable broth [...]

I love to go to movies at the Ritz Theaters, but there are not a lot of places that I love to grab a quick bite to eat when in Old City. Coming out of a movie at the Ritz 5 the other week, and straight into a cold, rainy night, I had a craving [...]

Southwestern Quinoa Soup
Always in search of new ways to use quinoa, I’ve run across a few ways to combine quinoa, corn, and avocado in a soup. Here’s my version, which turned out quite tasty, and with a little kick! Leftovers made great lunch all week – just add the avocado at the last minute, or mash it [...]

Senegalese Peanut Soup
I made this Senegalese Peanut Soup from Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian for an annual work soup event. Somehow, this simple soup (I doubled the hot peppers and added additional peanut butter) got even better reviews than my spicy udon shitake soup. The key to the soup (besides the fresh kale and good quality [...]

CousCous soup
CousCous soup is so easy to make! While Bittman and others have good recipes, I usually just make it up as I go along. Some veggies, some spices, a little tomato and vegetable broth, and then through the couscous in at the last second. In the soup above I cleaned out the crisper used carrots, [...]
