Looking through my recipe blog, you may notice how many different soups there are. Soups are a great way to get nutrition into the body. I run cold, so consuming these warm bowls of deliciousness makes me feel good. Be sure to check out where I buy
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Roasted Tomato & Basil Soup
One of the best things about homesteading is the bounty of garden goodness that seemingly comes in all at once! Sometimes it's necessary to get creative with what to do with a lot of the same vegetable. For months, I’ve been waiting for my first red tomato, and now I’m picking a basket full each day.
Slow Cooker Tomato Soup
Nothing says childhood more than tomato soup. It was my favorite growing up, however, it was soup of a can. That paired with a gilled cheese sandwich made me smile. While soup from a can is convenient, it’s loaded with a lot of sodium, and is really not as healthy as the label claims. Preparing homemade soup can seem overwhelming with the abundance of ingredients, however, I promise it’s really easy….and fun. Here is a take on a flavorful soup that can be started in the morning before work and then enjoy it as soon as you get home from work.
Lentil & Butternut Squash Soup
Lentils are a staple in my house. As a vegetarian, lentils provide me with a good source of protein and fiber that my body needs. This is soup season, and I’m loving it. Warm and nourishing, soups can be a side or the main event. This recipe calls for butternut squash, which is loaded with nutrients, as well as, fresh spinach that added at the end. Feel free to leave it a little chunky or blend it until it’s to the consistency you wish.
Quick and Easy Black Bean Soup
Sometimes time is of the essence, or maybe you just haven’t been to the grocery store lately. Either way, this is an easy soup that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. Black beans are a rich source of potassium, folate, along with dietary fiber. They also contain a good amount of protein that keeps the body feeling fuller longer. I’ve made this soup many times when I’m busy working at home and wanting something to warm my tummy.
Rich Butternut Squash Soup
Nothing says fall like butternut squash. The best part of these tasty vegetables is how hardy they are. I remember a few years ago growing butternut squash in my little garden. I harvested at least two dozen and were able to enjoy them over the winter months. This particular squash is a great source of Vitamin A, plus Vitamins C & E along with essential minerals. Vitamin A is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Vitamin A also supports cell growth, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs.
Indian Inspired Split Pea Soup
Potato Leek Soup
Sweet Potato Chowder
Sweet potatoes are so delicious and provide 377% of the daily recommended Vitamin A. For those of us who try to abstain from added sugars, this vegetable is a treat, as the natural sweetness satisfies those hankerings. I still don’t understand why people put brown sugar on their sweet potato and sour cream on the white potato.
Curried Lentil Soup
It was only about six years ago I was introduced to Indian food. I grew up in a rather traditional, southern cooking kind of house. Food was mostly bland as I remembered, as neither of my parents were enthused about spicy foods. Lucky for me, I’ve had people in my life who encouraged me to step out of my comfort food rut and experience the bold, rich flavors of culturally diverse foods. Indian food, in particular, is one I really enjoy.
