On a recent Sunday, I made two kinds of soup. The first one you saw posted earlier - Mushroom Farro Soup. I also decided to try a soup from a new cookbook I got - True Food by Andrew...
It's soup time in Alaska. Well, anytime is soup time for me, but others like to wait until the weather is cold. Since it snowed about 4 or 5" here yesterday, and the ground is still covered in snow,...
This was an interesting weekend. I'm glad this soup was good, because it took a lot of work to get the shrimp that was used in this recipe. Last weekend my husband went out shrimping with a friend (I had...
This week's ingredient was beans. My first thought was what am I going to come up with that is unique. But then I throught of something that was unique to me. (I've decided it's next to impossible to come...
I know, I know, this is a strange colored soup. This is what happens when one of your ingredients is fresh beets. The color doesn't bother me, but if it bothers you, just use golden beets instead of red...
This week our ingredient for Flavors is carrot. I had an abundance of carrots, because they're a vegetable that grows very well here in Alaska. I get lots of them in my weekly CSA box. I didn't want to...
This is my last soup to make in our quest to work our way through Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. It was an interesting one to end with. This soup comes from the Romagna area of Italy. Marcella says...
I'm still making soups as we work our way through "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. This week, it's Acquacotta. Aquacotta is usually a peasant dish. It's a soup made with stale bread, water, onions, tomatoes, and olive oil. But...
Tonight I wanted to make a dinner that used the fresh halibut and shrimp that my husband caught this weekend. It was the first time out on the water this season, and it's nice to have the fresh seafood...

A couple of days ago I wrote about the challenge I am having with what to put on my blog. I was sick last week, and off work, and have had a little time to browse a few blogs....
I cook dinner every night (okay, except when we're having leftovers). You wouldn't know that by looking at my blog, because I don't post that often. But the reason that I don't is that I don't follow recipes very...

Okay, I know, I say this every week-I can't believe I've been making soup every week for the past 18 weeks. I was almost a little late with this one. It's Sunday morning, and I just made my soup,...
It is almost impossible to believe that we are at Week #17 of our soupmaking. I guess in some ways the winter has flown by (only in some ways though). This weeks soup was chosen by Jan. She said...
This week for our Sunday Slow Soupers, we had a bit of a misunderstanding. We didn't have anyone who was participating assigned. So we decided to use a recipe that Shannon found in Gourmet, for a Winter Minestrone. I...
I can't believe today is March 1st. I have to say I am glad that February flew by. Now if only March and April will do the same. Those months are still winter here, so I will be glad...
This soup was so good. I rarely eat French Onion Soup, but I was quite happy when I saw that Sharon L had chosen it. The recipe sounded very easy, and I don't think I've ever made it before....
This week our soup is Baked Potato Soup, brought to us by Anne. At first I thought, oh no, this is going to kill my diet. Then I read that she got this recipe at a Weight Watchers meeting...
I am just loving the Sunday Slow Soupers. I love soup, and have even been making other soups during the week, not just the one for our group. They're filling, usually healthy, and make lots so we've got leftovers....
It's Sunday, so time for another soup. This week's soup is brought to you by Marcia of Happy Trails to Us: My Reluctant Blog. She chose a soup that she tweaked slightly that was orginally published in the December...
GUMBO WITHOUT OKRA OR TOMATOES Another week of Sunday Slow Soupers, and another great soup. This week it was Sandi from Bugalu at Whistlestop Cafe turn to choose the soup. She chose her Gumbo. She says the key to...
This week's recipe was chosen by Palma, of Palmabella's Passions. She chose a soup that I was interested to try-Leek and Asparagus Soup. This is a Roman dish, that is traditionally served at Easter time. This soup was very...

This was my week for the selection for our Sunday Slow Soupers. I decided to go with my fish soup. I came up with this recipe to use the halibut and cod that we catch from our boat each...
Well, I'm late posting my Sunday Slow Soupers soup. I made it last week, but forgot to take photos, and froze half of it, and so I had to wait until I thawed it out to take a photo....
This week's soup came from Nancy. She had never made the soup before, but thought it sounded like a good soup for Christmas week. The recipe came from an old Bon Appetite issue. I had never had pumpkin soup...
I can't believe we are already on week 4 of the Sunday Slow Soupers. This week's soup was chosen by teaberry, and what a good choice it was. If you are looking for a very flavorful, filling soup, then...
I was looking forward to this month's soup, as I love butternut squash. The recipe looked very simple, and was different than what I am used to making, as mine usually contains apple juice. I didn't have any butternut...
This is my first week for participating in the Sunday Slow Soupers. For those of you who may be new to my blog, we are a group from Slow Trav Website who began as Sunday Slow Bakers, then turned...
I created a recipe for fish soup several years ago to use the odds and ends pieces of halibut, ling cod, and rock fish that we end up with after cutting the fish we catch into nice fillets. I...
I love to make flavorful, slow-cooked soups that take hours to cook, but there's not always the time, or maybe like today for me, you just don't feel well and want a fast recipe for dinner. I found this...
I was tired after a busy day down on the Kenai Peninsula for work, but also feeling like I wanted something more than veggies for dinner. I knew I had gorgonzola cheese I needed to use, and a large...
