Tomatoes! We’re getting close to the end of the growing season and the final harvest is comping up quick. Our last couple trips to the garden yielded quite a bit of tomato and peppers and with the cooler weather it was time for some soup!

Cream of Asparagus Soup
Another day, another soup. Cream of Asparagus is on the menu. Tonight’s soup is brought to you by a lucky find from Asiana Market in East Providence. Asparagus is usually pretty expensive but Asiana had a ton of it at $2.39ish a bunch. I used 2/3 of the bunch for the soup. One third was […]
Spicy Dal Soup
We’re entering the last week of winter with a blast of cold up here in New England and I’m just about out of my stock soup ingredients. Luckily, I had just enough of the three main ingredients for Mirepoix plus a bit of fresh ginger and garlic, some hot peppers and Dal for this soup. It’s easy and quick […]
Tomato Mirepoix Soup
I’ve been experimenting with some new (to me) cooking techniques lately and discovered “Aromatics.” Aromatics are a mix of vegetables and herbs sautéed in a bit of oil or fat and are used as the base for many dishes.

Roasted Jalepeno Tomatillo Salsa
We had a ton of tomatillos left over from the summer harvest that were about to go bad and we were both in the mood for a somewhat healthy snack. Chips and salsa time! Keri and I first started making this salsa not long after we left California and missed our regular trips to Jose’s […]
Portuguese Navy Bean & Kale soup
Keri and I had a huge harvest of kale from our garden last week so I thought I’d try my hand at making this Portuguese Navy Bean and Kale soup. The traditional recipe calls for sausage but since I don’t eat meat I thought I’d simulate the flavor by grinding up some dried sage from […]
Vegetable Soup with Celeriac
Yesterday Keri and I had our usual CSA Farm share pick up and got a couple Celeriac root to try out. Celeriac is a variety of Celery with an edible root as well as the stalk. I think it tastes a bit sweeter than regular celery. So with that and a bunch of ingredients I […]
