Soup

Tomato Rice Soup is full of veggies, rice, herbs and, of course, tomatoes! This easy and budget friendly tomato soup makes a great light lunch or dinner and is perfect for meatless meals. Serve it up with a grilled cheese sandwich for a classic, but totally upgraded combination. You know what’s weird? Most of my family doesn’t like tomatoes, but they love tomato soup which I find to be a conundrum. They even love this tomato soup which is the…

This Wendy’s chili recipe is a perfect copycat! Thick and rich chili with a variety of beans, vegetables, and spices. It’s the perfect dump and go slow cooker chili. The first job I ever had was working at Wendy’s. I was 15. And yes, this will date me, but this was in the days of Wendy’s “superbar” and fresh stuffed pitas. Anybody remember those? I want the pitas to make a comeback.  (Also my old Wendy’s manager’s wife reads my…

Butter bean soup is quick, cheap and easy to make. Unlike most butter bean soup recipes,  this soup has a smoky broth seasoned with bacon and Cajun spices. It’s chock full of veggies like carrots, celery, tomatoes and onions. And it actually tastes better the next day. Are you sold yet? I’ve been big into the  hearty soups and casseroles lately like hamburger macaroni soup, crockpot corn casserole, and chicken zucchini casserole. What can I say? I have such a…

Hamburger macaroni soup takes budget friendly ingredients and turns them into a rich and satisfying hearty soup in less than 30 minutes. I think that hamburger soup with macaroni is one of those recipes that basically everyone I know grew up eating some variation of. Why? For one, it’s a classic. A hearty soup full of ground beef, mixed vegetables, macaroni noodles and a rich tomato infused beef broth. For two, it’s super simple, quick and filling for those nights…

But instead of Italian sausage and tortellini, this pepperoni pizza soup has all the flavors you love from your favorite pizza. A rich tomato broth is the base to which fresh veggies, pepperoni, cheese ravioli, black olives, and fresh mozzarella are added. When I make this soup I use…

Don’t let anyone tell you that soup can’t be a meal. This tortellini soup is so hearty and filling. With robust Italian sausage, loads of veggies and savory cheese tortellini, this soup packs a lot of flavor! Serve it up with a side of garlic bread baked in foil and you’ve got a one pot wonder of a meal that comes together in 40 minutes. Guess who’s got two thumbs and is excited that the weather is starting to get…

Rich and creamy, cheesy and hearty, this broccoli cheese soup is one of my tried and true favorite soup recipes. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just have to take a break from the baking and the sweets! Last week I worked and worked on dessert recipes trying to decide what to make for a local charity auction and dinner. If you are a member of my baker’s group on Facebook (Let me pause here to say you…
