Lentil and Rosemary Soup with Lemon
After knowing me for a few months, most people replace the typical greeting of, “How have you been?” with the more useful, “Where have you been?” Those who I haven’t seen in awhile tend to get an...

Soup for the Sick

Pumpkin Black Bean Soup
I still think of myself as a shy person, something that someone who’s met me in the past five years or so probably wouldn’t understand. Now, I’m always the first one to introduce myself, the first one...

Snow and Soup

Jumbo White Bean Stew with Greens and Parmesan

Roasted Cauliflower Soup
We have a family tradition of having soup on Christmas-Eve-Eve – every 23rd of December. This has apparently evolved into a pre-Thanksgiving tradition since I stopped spending Thanksgiving at home, but...
