Mushroom-Miso Soup with Shrimp and Udon

Dinner tonight again from my favorite “Winter 2018-19” Magazine. A Japanese twist on traditional miso soup. It was tasty but even better with Sriracha. The hubby doesn’t like watery soups so I added cornstarch to thicken it up. A very light dish, perfect for an “end-of-the-weekend” meal.


Artichoke Soup a la Barigoule

This Magazine is so much fun especially on these cold days. Last night we had chicken feta brats, air fried potato wedges and this soup. I ended up buying archichokes from King Soopers olive bar in the deli to save time and add flavor/oil. Although there are a lot of ingredients, each one brought a completeness to the dish. I didn’t add any salt as there was plenty of flavor already. It turned out absolutely delicious!

Thai-Style Turkey Soup

We buy turkeys during the holidays when they’re on sale and load up our freezer. Our Anatolian shepherds get daily treats of meat. Sometimes it’s beef, pork, fish or poultry. Usually I cook enough to last a week and lately it’s been turkey. It’s so handy to have in the fridge and since I’m on my kick in this Magazine, tonight was turkey soup night. I added red pepper flakes for extra zing. So good and  healthy! Of course my carby hubby needed rice to go with it. Bonus-it only took 20-30 minutes to make.



Creamy Sausage and Tortellini Soup

The bright side to cold snowy days are all the new soup recipes I can try. I was in the mood for tortellini and had some Italian and German pork sausage in the freezer from our farm. This recipe met my expectations and satisfied my cravings. FYI-don’t add salt, there is plenty in the pork and chicken broth. Next time, I think I’ll add chopped tomatoes or roasted red pepper.

Thai Chicken and Coconut Soup

I saw this Magazine at Sprouts recently and had to check it out. Normally I peruse the internet for recipes related to what I have on-hand but lately the hubby has been needing some healthier options. What I love about this book is that it’s Soups and Stews for 2. In the past, I would make a normal-sized pot and we would end up eating only half and get burned out. Now I can cook small and try meals from around the world...I think Morocco is next :)
