This has turned out to be a strangely epic post. I just want to let you know up front, that buried in all of this storytelling there are actually three recipes for cream of mushroom soup.

Miso Soup With Everything
It seems like I’ve been narrowly skirting around illness for weeks now. The thought of miso soup sounded like an excellent idea and I pulled my usual trick of investigating what was hanging out in the fridge and pantry…
Easiest of the Easy: Lentils Monastery Style with New-style Southern Cornbread
Well…. I’m still struggling with the fact that working in a commercial kitchen; however excellent, fruitful and fulfilling, diminishes my desire for cooking at home. Tonight I’m trying to convince myself that cooking is easy and satisfying by making two of the easiest and yummiest dishes in my repertoire. They are Monastery-style Lentil Soup and…
Cheap eats- Brazilian Black Bean Soup and Pineapple Mint Salsa
I am a freelance arts educator. I usually spend the September hussling work and start teaching a bit in October. However, I do not get paid for any of my work until sometime in November.
Experimental Economical Vegetable Stock
I have really gotten into making vegetable stock using this new method. It is the most economical thing you can make if you cook with vegetables and enjoy soup. The trick is this: you save the discard bits of the vegetables you chop up and use in other dishes. These can be saved over time…
Carrot Soup with Fennel and Fresh Thyme with Biscuits (Traditional and Gluten-Free)
It is strange that I had not made this carrot soup yet this year. I usually make it every other week or so during the Autumn and Winter. It is easy to make, totally satisfying and uses ingredients that I always seem to have on hand. I got this soup from a cooking magazine (maybe…
Perfectly Seasoned Creamy Cauliflower Soup (with no cream)

Hot Borscht and all of the good feelings that come with it
My borscht recipe is adapted from one of the Moosewood cookbooks that I learned to cook from in college. I did a lot of cooking during that time…..enough to occasionally wonder if I should have been at culinary school rather than at Sarah Lawrence College. At Sarah Lawrence I had an amazing academic don named…
Tomato Cognac Soup
I am sick. When I am sick I really only want to eat tomato soup. I’ll eat other food as long as tomato soup is involved in the menu. So here is another tomato soup recipe, which I served today with grilled cheese and a spinach salad with bacon, avocado, blue cheese, chives, tomato,…
A Menu in Honour of Broccoli Soup (Gluten-free Popovers, Green Salad and Baked Apples)
The New Vegetarian Epicure by Anna Thomas is organized by Menus. Ms. Thomas pairs this brocolli soup with a green salad, popovers and an apple pudding. I recommend this menu with all my heart, although my popovers are gluten-free. I think that they are just as good as the traditional ones. If you want…
