Roasted Red Pepper and White Bean Soup
"This is a SIMPLE SOUP, completely dependent on the quality of the broth." That's what the cookbook says and I couldn't agree more. I followed the recipe, but then again, I didn't follow it. The original recipe called for canned ingredients. I had to take the home cooked approach. For you, I'll write the original recipe, THEN I'll tell you what I did. You pick the one that fits your needs... More...

This soup is SPICY. I do not recommend it for the sensitive folks out there. This one's for the heat lovers that like to sweat while they eat. I found this recipe delicious! I can't help wonder how it would taste if I used poblano peppers instead of jalapenos. HERE'S ALL IT TAKES 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 5 fresh jalapenos, stemmed and seeded 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 3 garlic cloves,... More...

Eating Chicken Tortilla Soup with red beans and without the chicken was just as filling & delicious. It's more likely I'll make this bean version more often. This recipe is pretty much the same as the Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe. Only this recipe calls for a couple of cups of cooked red beans. Whether you cook the beans yourself or open up the can, it's totally up to you. I can't... More...

Completely worth your time to make at home! Simple vegetable broth made in an hour, and serves you several times a week. You know, there was a time when store bought broths and bouillon cubes were ONLY purchased when the cook was out of homemade broth or stock. Nowadays, we don't hesitate to buy a carton or can of broth, and making it from scratch is the rare occasion. Don't misunderstand me,... More...

Another rockin' soup from my favorite Italian cookbook. A total bowl of comfort full of creamy northern beans, big pasta, tangy roma tomatoes and yummy smoked bacon in between, oh! and carrots. I am SO GLAD I made a big pot of this soup! Of course, I didn't follow the original recipe, EXACTLY. I used canola oil, instead of olive oil. I didn't have pancetta, but I had hickory smoked bacon. I... More...
