Red Lentil Soup with Ham and Curry

When I was growing up we never went out to dinner. With six kids I can imagine it would have been prohibitively expensive but more than that I can imagine my parents did not anticipate it as fun trying to corral all of us in a restaurant. Thankfully my mom was a good cook…though in [...]

Cream of Mushroom Soup with White Wine and Leeks

I could wax poetic about the fall season; how the crisp, cool air lends itself to thoughts of those warm, comfort foods that just seem perfect for this season. How there is something about soup that warms not just our bellies but our soul. Oh, I know, I know…I could tell a lovely story about [...]

Chicken Curry in a Hurry!

We have had the longest, coldest spring I can remember in Colorado and this past weekend was the worst.

Carrot Ginger Soup with Chile Butter

I discovered when I brought groceries home the other night from a local farmers market that I already had carrots…so I did go on the hunt for something ‘carroty’ in order to use one of those bunches immediately.
