There is something so tummy warming about the combination of squash with curry! The roasted red pepper drizzle is a nice, colourful touch. There is a very small amount of milk or cream to give the soup a bit of body and a bit of richness and a bit more deliciousness. Makes 6 Servings 2 […]
Fall is definitely here! Think pumpkins, squash and best of all Halloween! What better way to begin a fall dinner than with a bowl of creamy pumpkin soup? I tend to use milk for a lightened up version, but you choose, depending on how rich and how thick you would like your soup! It makes […]
It’s Russian Soul Food! Borscht is a part of my family heritage. During the year there are times when “I just gotta have some”. When I eat borscht, my Husband says it’s like I am having a religious experience! The version in my recipe section is not the purple, beety one, it is more of a vegetable soup. […]

We are still working on the last of those fabulous Sungold tomatoes and Romanesco zucchini from our garden! When you grow zucchini, you really need to have a plan! Every time you step into the garden, there are more! So […]
I have been making this fresh tasting soup for many years and it’s always a welcome first course for dinner or as a main course with multigrain bread or soda bread (recipe below), some cheese, perhaps an English cheddar or Scottish cheese. The addition of ginger & lemon gives the soup a nice zing. Our local […]
For a printer friendly version of this recipe, click here. This soup is my idea of the harvest of late summer. I like okra a lot and I think it is underrated. What can I say about yellow corn, divine! I am not a big fan of milk in chowder, so this suits me down to the […]
