Fall is here, and Winter is coming. Around here that means plenty of warm and hearty soups, stews, chowders, and chilis. This one is an old favorite, which can be spicy or mild, depending on whether you use sweet or hot Italian sausage. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs sweet or hot Italian sausage 2 red onions, diced …
This stew is simple, delicious and incredibly versatile, so when my co worker the wonderful Chrislyn Caldwell ask me for the recipe I was like “wait it’s coming” be patient…. A little story for you: After the second World War, my grandparents decided to leave their holler behind and move to the city of Lyon …
Yesterday was so hot here in NorCal, and I didn’t know what to make…..and I remember Gazpacho, yes…Gazpacho Spanish soup is a soup traditionally served chilled. Originating in Andalusia, it is made from fresh vegetables and served cold. For me, there are two keys to making great gazpacho. The first is the freshest vegetable you …
I’ve had this one in a couple of Mexican restaurants when I lived in Southern California. It was a simple meatball soup, albóndigas soup.

A friend of mine claimed she hated garlic. I know she most definitely did not hate garlic. She ate foods that I made for the last 10 years contained garlic— pizza, all Italian food, sausage, garlic bread (yes, garlic bread). I guess she just didn’t like the idea of garlic? Food preferences are weird and she …
The brilliance of black beans…I don’t discriminate against beans–I sincerely love them all. But if you twisted my arm (or, say, threatened to make me beanless for life), I’d have to confess that the black bean is my favorite. Black bean soup had been on my mind for quite some time. I kept thinking about how …
A few months back I was making a wild mushroom soup from Gourmet magazine that was, you know, good, but also, eh. But shame on me, really, because in 2020 I found the perfect, best-ever, fail-proof, tastiest recipe so why did I fall for the shiny new thing? Isn’t that the point of all this trial-and-error, …
Would you look at that! While trying, and failing, to start this post about squash soup, I accidentally ate an entire chocolate chip cookie dough ball made by my daughter last night! Let’s get right to it. I’ve been wanting to tell you about this soup for more than a week now… But the soup! …
