You may have probably used, tossed or froze your ham bone from Easter. If you still have it around I made a split pea soup that my husband said he would pay money for. That’s a pretty good compliment. I love all kinds of soup but I am not sure if I have ever made a split pea. I used to always give my ham … Continue reading Split Pea Soup – using hambone
I made a large pot of Cioppino last night for some family that were visiting. I bought a bag of mussels, a pound and a half of Cod loin and a pound of sea scallops. To say it was a big hit is spot on. The six of us tried to eat ALL of it. We made a point to eat all the seafood as … Continue reading Cioppino – seafood stew

I haven’t seen it in a long time nor have I had it in a long time so I made it myself. It does taste different but I am pleased with mine and I used larger … Continue reading Cajun Shrimp Chowder

We got over a foot of snow here … Continue reading Tuscan Bean and Italian Sausage Soup

I mean homemade soup is really easy to adapt to what you have on hand. Technically there are three components to making a lovely soup or stew. 1st is liquid, 2nd aromatics and 3rd volumizing … Continue reading Sausage, Spinach and Bean soup

I am re-sharing this turkey soup recipe back from 2019 because I don’t make turkey soup very often, I think was the last time I actually made it until this past weekend. Here’s why!

I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get my laptop to get motivated so I can figure out what I am going to share for a recipe today. I knew I had made something a couple of weeks ago and it was really good but I wanted OK needed the picture to remind me. Insert eye roll here! When I was finally able … Continue reading Moroccan Lentil Soup with Veggies
There are a few reasons why Fall is one of my favorite times of the years. The turning of the leaves is just spectacular; not that I want more leaf peepers coming to New Hampshire but if you have never been here between mid September and mid October you truly are missing out. Here is a peak at a local artists photo he posted the … Continue reading Italian Wedding soup
