blended winter veggie soup
i know its a mouthful, but these winter veggies blend together to make a beautifully creamy mixture that is slightly sweet and spicy. i have made many soups like this one before, like the carrot garlic soup i made a few years back or the spicy carrot apple ginger soup that i made when i [...]
green zebra gazpacho
the green zebra is an interesting variety. they are grouped in with the other heirloom tomatoes but they are actually a hybrid of two different heirlooms. and because heirloom means that the seeds come from pure strains – in other words, they have not been crossed with another variety – by crossing two heirlooms it [...]
roasted zucchini and fresh rosemary soup
when zucchini first appeared at the farmers market again this year – after a long an cold winter filled with endless root vegetables, oranges and kale – i literally squealed with glee. for some reason i could care less about summer squash all of last year, but as soon as they went out of season [...]
simple green garlic soup
when people see green garlic for the first time they usually seem so perplexed, asking things like, “what do i do with it?” well it’s not too much different than regular garlic, in fact if you chop off the top and let it dry it will become the dry garlic you find in the grocery [...]
light potato leek soup
the skies have been overcast most days here, which is LA’s version of winter i guess. on days like these only one thing comes to mind – soup. if it’s accompanying dinner or my stomach is a little upset, it’s nice to reach for something lighter. like this classic, which features a rich, flavorful broth [...]
bbq lentil and baked sweet potato soup
soup is hands down my favorite food, so i’m always coming up with new ways to brew up a pot of something tasty. i used to be big on puréed soups, but lately – perhaps out of sheer laziness – i tend to prefer something chunkier. whenever i get a chance i bake a few [...]
vegan thanksgiving: chunky pumpkin soup
this is a recipe i got from my boyfriend. when he first started cooking for himself, this was one of the first recipes he learned – and may i say, mastered. it’s an easy, wholesome recipe that you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to make, it doesn’t even require any blending. it is [...]
zucchini and fresh parsley soup
i’ve recently been making soup out of all sorts of things. squash, kale, radish tops, spinach, green garlic, shallots, tomatoes. you name it and i can make it into a soup. last week at the echo park farmers’ market i got a ton of zucchini for just that purpose. it’s soft so it will sauté [...]
carrot garlic soup
well it’s still raining off and on here in LA, so i’m constantly in search of foods that will make me feel warm and cozy when the sky is dreary and gray. i’ve posted a carrot soup before, but realized after the fact how complicated that recipe is. this one requires no sautéeing, just some [...]
split pea soup
it’s been raining outside for the past few days. soggy sneakers and jeans make me want nothing more than to curl up in bed with a big bowl of soup and a cup of tea. the great thing about split peas is they are super cheap to buy and don’t take very long to cook. [...]
