Highlights: Soup

Published on January 8, 2012 By Emily. Updated on January 8, 2012

It’s no secret that soup is one of my favorite foods to cook and to eat.  Soup is one of the few things I look forward to during this time of year (other things: wearing sweaters, drinking more tea and the holiday season).  Soup makes an appearance on our table at least once a week and as a result, there have been more recipes for soup on Relishments than anything else.

Soups, as seen on Relishments

Some interesting soup-related hints came my way this week.  The Kitchn suggests using fried garlic and nuts to top soup, which sounds like it would be worth a try.  I keep meaning to make my own croutons as well, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Well Preserved had a piece about super-reduced stocks, which would certainly help me make more soup.  I never seem to have enough broth or stock on hand.  Still, the procedure seems like more work than I’d be willing to put into it. 

Kelly wrote a review of Julie’s Soba Noodle Soup that I wrote about a few weeks ago (it’s funny how the internet works sometimes).  Anyway, her review is much more complete than mine.  It should be mentioned that Julie’s soup saved the day when we arrived home from Christmas vacation to an empty refrigerator and little motivation to cook.

And as you know, I’m always on the search for more recipes to add to my collection.  Here are the soup ideas that have shown up in my Google Reader lately:

  • Curried Acorn Squash & Roasted Apple Soup (The Healthy Everythingtarian)
  • Beef with Barley Soup (Tasty Kitchen)
  • New England Clam Chowder (Healthy Delicious)
  • Greek Avgolemono/Lemon and Orzo Soup (Home Cooking in Montana)
  • Lasagna Soup (Closet Cooking)
  • Allergen-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup (It All Changes)
  • Hearty Chicken Minestrone (The Kitchn)
  • Tuscan Bean Soup with Shrimp (The Pioneer Woman)
  • Carrot Soup with Miso and Sesame (Smitten Kitchen)
  • Cheddar Ale Soup with Homemade Croutons ( Tracey’s Culinary Adventures via The Kitchn)
  • 3 Easy Bean Soups – 30-Minute Tuscan White Bean Soup, 30-Minute Black Bean Soup and 30-Minute Pasta and Kidney Bean Soup (Pasta e Fagioli) (Serious Eats)
  • 8 Healthy Soup and Stew Recipes (Huffington Post)

    Yaaay Soup! I for sure need to make more soup in the near future, I always forget how generally easy and delicious they are!

    Mmm, I love soup! I actually just cooked two soups today, hoppin john and vegetarian chili. I froze them to prepare for a busy next couple of weeks. I’ll have to take a look at your soup list for my next round, before the tx weather starts getting warm again (actually it was like 70 degrees here in the other day!).

    I’ve been meaning to make a vegetarian version of Greek Avgolemono soup for a super long time. I’ll have to check out Home Cooking in Montana’s recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
