it's wintertime around here and while there may not be snow on the ground (which is totally unusual for where we live, but i'm not complaining!) there is still a chill in the air, and that can only mean one thing: it's soup season! i always look forward to this time of year. not only because i get ...

homemade chicken tortilla soup
there are a few holidays that i don't really "get into" - st. patrick's day is one of them, cinco de mayo is another. but my kids are starting to become more aware of all these holidays and want to do something to celebrate them all. so today, in honor of cinco de mayo, we had chicken tortilla ...
creamy cauliflower soup
i've been a little bit obsessed with soups lately. maybe it's because it's so cold outside and they warm you right up, or maybe it's because they're just so dang good. or maybe it's because they're generally inexpensive to make and after the holidays over-spending, well, it's nice to cut back a ...
chicken & wild rice soup
chicken and wild rice soup. this is one of my faves. it only has a few ingredients, but they're all so healthy (which is great for my new year's resolution...which i'm sure is the same as most other people's!) and even though those ingredients are pretty simple, they offer a huge depth of flavor. i ...

baked potato soup
here's another soup recipe we've made recently. it really is just like a baked potato with all the fixins, but in soup form! it tastes cheesy, and creamy, and ranch-y (that's not a word, but you know what i mean). and when you add bacon into the equation, you know it's gonna be good!! it takes a ...
homemade chicken noodle soup
my kids and i have been sick for the past week. finally, springtime has sprung - the snow is gone, the sun is out - and we've all been stuck indoors with kleenex in tow instead of enjoying the beautiful weather. though, i would have to say that the one up side of having a cold is that you get to ...
southwestern soup
the other day my sweet sister sent out an email to all the girls in my family telling us about this soup recipe she'd made. i knew as soon as i read it that we HAD to try it! and here are the reasons why: 1. it's so easy. and fast. it involves opening 7 cans and heating it up! can't get much ...
