Creamy White Chili

{This recipe was posted back when I re-started this blog last year… For some reason, an unknown plug-in was uploaded to my blog (a plug in that I had never seen before – called “old post promoter”. It was really weird because my networked blogs kept on posting my old posts on facebook and twitter! [...]

Creamy Pesto Soup

Oh this soup? So delicious. Loved the creamy texture and the wonderful flavors of basil leaves, tomatoes, and garlic together… plus some Gruyere cheese! It was my first time trying Gruyere cheese – it was creamy and good!

Italian Wedding Soup

I am a big fan of wedding soup – although I’ve only made it once or twice before. Since I had some yummy meatballs in my freezer, I decided to make it again. I wasn’t so sure where the term “wedding soup” came from so I did a little research… by research, I mean I [...]

Curried Vegetable Soup

This is another wonderful soup I made the other night. Oh how I love soup. I think I could have soup for dinner every night if my husband would let me… although he did love this soup just as much as I did.

Two-Pea Soup with Ham

I’ve been cooking different kinds of soup lately and I love them all. I love soup. I love that I can enjoy a great meal in one bowl. And they are so filling, too, which is perfect because I feel full after dinner even if I have a smaller bowl. I’ve been trying to lose [...]

Creamy Coconut Lime Soup

I love the flavor of coconut. I love coconut milk. I love coconut milk in curry and soup. So yes, this soup is definitely one of my favorites. I have been following a diet plan that I’ve come up with since New Year’s. I’ve been making lots of soups because 1) They taste good 2) [...]

Creamy Tomato Soup

Before this night, I had never tried making my own tomato soup… and boy, was I missing out? I loved this homemade, super easy tomato soup. It wasn’t super tomato-ey, either. I loved all the spices and other vegetables in this soup. We had this soup with some delicious meatball subs (I’ll post about them [...]

Chunky Taco Soup

I’m not a big fan of leftovers… I cook something for dinner and normally, I just pack the leftovers for my husband to take to work for lunch. I usually eat cereal or nutella sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. But let me tell you this – when I made this taco soup, I made sure [...]

Zuppa Toscana

{If you like this post, please stumble it by clicking stumble upon on the left} Have you ever had “Zuppa Toscana” soup at Olive Garden’s? It’s the one with Italian sausages and potatoes in it – well, this soup tastes a lot like that – mine has a little more kick to it (since my [...]

{Korean} Duenjang Jjigae

Duenjang Jjigae

I was born and raised in Korean until I was about 20 years old – and I’ve been here in America about 10 years now. I do miss Korea and the food. I wish I could eat it more often. Well, this Duenjang jjigae is probably one of the most tradition and common food that [...]

Post image for Fresh Spinach, Orzo and Chicken Soup

I. love. orzo. I had never tried orzo until a couple of years ago when I found a wonderful parmesan orzo recipe (I should make it soon so I can share it here). Orzo looks like rice but it’s not. It’s actually a kind of pasta noodles. It’s little so it’s great in soups. This [...]

Post image for Apple Squash Soup

Oh my, oh my… I love this time of the year…. I love trying soups with butternut squash in them. I have already tried several different kinds of dishes with butternut squash (such as butternut squash risotto and autumn couscous bowl) and this one wasn’t a disappointment, either. I especially loved the addition of apples in this [...]

Indian Style Chickpea Stew

Post image for Indian Style Chickpea Stew

I love Indian spices. And I love chickpeas. So this stew was perfect for me. And it’s a slow cooker recipe. Another reason why it was perfect for me. When you have two kids (or more than zero), it’s hard to find time to cook sometimes – or it’s hard, literally to even cook when [...]

Winter Chili with Pumpkin

Post image for Winter Chili with Pumpkin

This is a very “interesting” recipe indeed. If you go through the list of the ingredients, you might start to think, “hmm, is this list correct?” At least, that’s what I thought when I first read the recipe. Cocoa powder is something that I never thought I’d put in a soup…. but I guess that’s [...]

Butternut Squash Risotto

Post image for Butternut Squash Risotto

Butternut squash is perfect for this season… It was raining today and I wanted something warm. Then I found some leftover butternut squash in the fridge! I don’t know if anyone else has the same problem but I am not very talented at cutting a butternut squash. It’s just too darn hard for me. So [...]

Post image for Chicken Tikka Masala

My husband is happy because I cook more at home. I kind of stopped cooking when I had my second boy… I’ve having sleeping problems since… and I still am. But it’s getting better… When you don’t sleep, you don’t usually have energy to do anything. Between that and taking care of two little ones, [...]
