Miso Soup

May 20, 2013

Miso soup is a favorite of mine and I never realized how easy it was to make. I also had no idea it was actually healthy for you. Miso itself has anti-aging properties, and is packed with vitamins B12, B2, K, and E. It is also good for the skin due to its linoleic acid. Who knew?! Wakame, the seaweed in miso, is also really good for you. It's loaded with magnesium, iron, and vitamins A, C, E, K and B12. Paired with the fact that it's so easy to throw together makes this a no-brainer. Here's what I did:

Easy Bean and Kale Soup

April 22, 2013

Every once in a while I wake up with a very specific idea of what I want to eat that day and I am psyched when I throw it all together and it comes out just as I had imagined. This soup was one such example. It's still pretty chilly up north so I wanted a soup to warm me up, but I didn't want it as hearty as my go-to lentil soup. I threw the following ingredients together and it was a success. C'mon, warm weather!

Blended Sweet Potato Cauliflower Soup

March 4, 2013

Two food posts in one day! Maybe make this first and have the avocado chocolate pudding for dessert. Anyway, enticed by its bright color I made this soup on a cold dreary day last week. I used this recipe as a guide, but I changed a couple things. I left out the garam masala because I didn't have it, and used cinnamon instead. And I don't really like the texture of cauliflower when it's whole, so I blended everything.

Cozy Three Bean Soup with Kale

February 5, 2013

I love making soup because it's relatively easy and lasts for a long time. I made this soup on a Sunday, just throwing in whatever I had around, and it lasted well into the week for easy lunches. I keep telling myself spring is just around the corner, but until then this is perfect to warm you up on a cold, dark winter day.

Lentil Soup

December 4, 2012

Not surprisingly, soup is not the easiest dish to photograph. I mean there's really no way to truly capture how hearty nor how flavorful a soup is in a mere photo, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Lentil soup is a winter staple in my house because nothing quite warms you up the same way. Well, except for maybe whiskey or something, but we're trying to keep it healthy around here. :) Speaking of health, lentils are packed with fiber and protein, low in fat and are easy to digest.

Spicy Vegetarian Chili

October 25, 2012

At the first signs of the new chilly season, I made this soup. It is accidentally more spicy than it needs to be, but I guess it will get you sweating and warm that body right up, huh? :) It's easy to make, but does take a while on the stove. Here's what to do:
