We have been ALL ABOUT THE SOUP in our house this last week. Know why? Because IT IS OCTOBER and fall weather is finally starting to arrive. Okay, it’s Mississippi, which means cooler nights, and days still in the 80s, but we take what we can get after a brutal summer of 100+ temps. Fall, […]
I love corn chowder. I love chicken corn chowder. I love cheese. You can see where I’m going with this. Marrying all the flavors I love was an inspiration. A spicy one. Big yum. If it’s too spicy for you, you could get mild rotel or cool it down with some sour cream. I loved […]
After a week away from home eating marvelous but not good for me food, I needed something veggie filled and delicious to reset my system to healthy. I was going to make a straight up black bean soup, but hubs is a carnivore, so that demanded the addition of chicken. I thought it was a […]
You all know I’m nuts about mexican flavors, and I really wanted some kind of soup that was lighter in calories but still filling and heavy on the flavor. Using the last giant butternut squash I had n the fridge, I decided to make a soup. It’s thick and hearty and wonderful. And at 144 […]
This dish was a result of my saying “I want to use this ingredient…now what can I do that’s different?” The ingredient in question was Conecuh Hot and Spicy sausage. I love this stuff. It’s so so tasty. Rather than the usual cajun dishes I make with this, I opted for a spicy kick to […]
When I studied abroad in Scotland, there was a tea room up the road from my flat that served THE BEST cock-a-leekie soup. It’s a classic Scottish dish that has as many variations as there are clans. Many traditionalists use prunes, but I couldn’t bring myself to put something sweet in this soup. The version […]
As you all know I was sick last week. It ended up not being such a bad time to be so, as I’d already batch cooked a bunch of chicken to make the stock for Thanksgiving dinner. That made this crock pot soup a breeze to throw together, even though I felt lousy. Ingredients: 2 […]
One of my favorite foods is sweet potato fries, something I discovered only last year. I just really dig the play of the faintly sweet of the potatoes against the chili powder. That flavor combo just really works for me. So I set out to try to duplicate that combination in a soup since I […]
My first attempt at Chicken Corn Chowder was such a hit, I thought I’d try a slight variation on one without tomatoes that took advantage of poblano peppers, which are a recent favorite of mine. This one is a bit heavier on the calories, as it’s got more corn, does not use fat free cream […]
This is a slight variation on my usual Spicy Corn Chowder, made “Mexican” only by the addition of a packet of Sazon. It was a tasty if subtle difference from the original. This could totally benefit from some poblano peppers or possibly a chipotle pepper (in which case I’d leave out the Rotel). Ingredients: 1 […]
