Soups
Corn Chowder
Sweet Alberta corn, smoky bacon and potatoes in a hearty bowl, finished with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Late summer in a bowl.
Fish Soup with Coconut Milk and Lime Juice
Soup needs no introduction. Firm white fish simmered in coconut milk and tomatoes, brightened with lime. It doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious.
Italian Sausage and Cabbage Soup
A small cabbage tucked away in the fridge, put to good use with Italian sausage, beans and tomatoes. Ready in 30 minutes for busy days that still call for homemade.
Sweet Potato Curry Soup
Living in Asia awakened my senses to spice. Sweet potato simmered with garam masala, curry and coconut milk, finished with crumbled feta.
Mushroom Soup
My eureka moment: mushroom powder, for an instant umami boost. Mushrooms, garlic, wine and herbs blended smooth and finished with Parmesan shavings.
Scotch Broth
Lamb, barley, split peas and root vegetables in a thick, hearty broth. A meal in a bowl.
Parsnip and Carrot Soup
Why throw out good food when you can make soup? Parsnips and carrots simmered with a touch of chili and cream, finished with olive oil and black pepper.
Chicken Noodle Soup
The easiest soup to make, ready in 20 minutes. Ground chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken with egg noodles, carrot, ginger and garlic.
Prawn Curry Soup
Brr, it’s cold out! Time to get a pot on the stove. Prawns, broccoli and rice in a coconut curry broth warmed with ginger. Ready in 30 minutes.
Tuscan Soup (Zuppa Toscana)
Nothing like hot soup when there’s a storm outside. My take on the classic: Italian sausage and cauliflower in place of beans and potatoes, finished with Parmesan.
Rustic Tomato Soup
All the comfort, none of the effort. Italian whole peeled tomatoes simmered with fennel salami, garlic and olives. Perfect with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Tortellini Bolognese Soup
Little parcels of homemade tortellini, filled with pork, mortadella, prosciutto and Parmesan, floating in a clear, rich broth. Comfort in a bowl.
