Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup
Inspired by Greek “Avgolemono”, this Lemon Garlic Chicken Orzo Soup recipe is thickened with a mixture of lemon juice, pureed garlic, and egg to create a flavor-packed, citrusy, velvety soup.

Consider this my SOS call.
Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot
I don’t know what I’ve enjoyed more: soaking up all of the compliments I’ve gotten about this Saucy Spanish Chicken, Chorizo, and Potato Pot, or soaking up all of that sauce with slice after slice of crusty bread.

Irish Baked Potato Soup with Corned Beef and Crispy Leeks
My love story with potato soup is on a better-than-Twilight, stronger than Kim and Kanye, transgressing all pop culture kind of level. It’s the real deal. And if you’re with me (whether or not you’re Irish, and while we’re at it, whether or not you have any idea what I’m talking about at all right…
Slow Cooker Indian-Spiced Lentils
Since moving, I’ve learned that there’s a fat chance of finding decent takeout in this town. The pizza place a half-block away only serves edible food if “the old guy” is working. The Chinese in the same plaza is garbage. There was a good Chinese place about a mile down the road, but in a…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Noodle Soup
January is always a month of confusion for me– How long will it take me to remember to write “/16” when I’m jotting down the date? When did it get so cold? When did my jeans get so snug? And on that note, will I flood the blog with healthy recipes? Or should I focus on fattier (and far…
Thai Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup
Usually I’m pretty convinced that “make it in the slow cooker” is all I have to say in order to turn some heads around here, but it tends to take a lot more to coerce James and Mike into trying a recipe without ruling it out before they take a bite. Include anything that even…
Crock Pot White Bean Chicken Chili
We’re half-way through September and we’ve got out feet firmly planted in soup season, which makes me a happy gal.  Is there anything better than slurping up a big bowl of broth-bathed meat, noodles, and veggies?

Roasted Garlic and White Bean Soup with Crispy Prosciutto
It’s supposed to start getting warmer soon right? Â I really hope so, because I for one have had enough of long days of shoveling and nights when no matter how many blankets I pile on my bed, I’m still freezing cold. Â One thing I’m not sick of, though, is getting cozy with a bowl of…
Spicy Black Bean Soup
First things first, I need to tell you that writing this right now is pure torture. It’s downright masochistic for me to force myself to type out how delicious and warm and spicy this recipe is, to talk about my obsession with black bean soup, to stare longingly at the photos knowing that I’m snowed…
