In the month of May I'm going to be featuring only vegetarian recipes and some of them will include seafood. My mission is to prove to myself mostly, that there are many options when it comes to vegetarian dishes. To start this off, I've made this yummy halibut soup. I don't make fish soup often but sometimes I get in the mood for something different and recently I've been wanting to make a fish soup for qu ...

This is such a delicious soup I just have to share it with you.  It's a very traditional soup, and it's one of my favorite soups. This soup is a staple at our house and we make it often.  "Ciorba" in romanian usually refers to sour soups with vegetables and some form of meat.  They are made sour by adding either lemon juice, "bors" which is fermented wheat bran, sauerkraut juice, or sometimes even vinegar. ...

I've been posting lots of cookie recipes lately, so I though it was time for something savory. And what better way to this than with this lasagna in a bowl. If you've never had lasagna soup, this is something you must try. It is literally like eating lasagna, except it's a lot easier to make. It's really good. My husband was mumbling and grumbling as usual as I was making it, then when he tried it he got al ...

I woke up this morning and I wasn't feeling too well, woke up with a bit of sore throat and a major headache. This happens to me quite a bit in Calgary when the weather changes suddenly.  It's pretty cold here  today and it's been raining non stop. When my throat is sore, I love to eat a nice warm soup. But I wanted something a bit different today, so I decided to make this Italian Wedding Soup, which I rea ...

Happy Canada Day and 4th of July everyone! I love long weekends, don't you. I don't like it, however, when I have a sore throat, and today was one of those days, in July I get a sore throat. But I have the perfect remedy for that. This lemon rice and pea soup with chicken will cure anyone, especially with a bit of hot sauce in it, which of course is optional. This soup is so good, good for a cold winter day ...

I was in the mood for this chicken and corn chowder now for a couple weeks and so I decided to make it. I didn't think it would turn out so good, but the flavor of it, is amazing. I decided, I love cumin, I really do. I think when I first had it, I didn't like it, thought it was too strong, but now, whenever I put it in a dish, I know that dish is going to be great. And so is this soup. If you already have ...

Caldo Verde means green broth and it's a very popular Portuguese soup. The main ingredients in this soup are potatoes, onions and kale and sometimes they use collard greens instead of kale. Kale is a form of cabbage and can be either green or purple and it's a very nutritious vegetable. So, having said all that, this kale soup is not only good for you, but it's also very delicious.

Don't be afraid of making chili. It's super easy to make and boy is it worth it. There are so many versions of chili, but this version I've made a few times and I really enjoy. I would not attempt this recipe on a week night, only because it does take a couple hours to simmer, so I usually make this on a Saturday. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:125] Enjoy! ...

I wasn't feeling so well today, I woke up with a really sore throat, so I decided to make some homemade chicken noodle soup.  I had a whole chicken in the freezer and from it I made this chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice pilaf, and roasted potatoes with roasted chicken breast. So if you think about it, it's very economical. Anyway, my chicken soup turned out just wonderful, and trust me there's nothing ...

Ok, wait, before you leave this page, you must read what I have to say.  I know what you're thinking, tribe, very gross.  I was in the same boat with you until about 15 years ago when I went to Romania and had tripe soup at a restaurant and I was sold.  I have to admit, I was skeptical to try it, but I decided to do it anyway, because everyone was telling me how great it is, so I always try something at lea ...

This is my recipe in my new healthy eating section and I thought I'd start it off with an easy recipe.  This roasted garlic and tomato soup is easy and quick to make and very healthy. Nice, easy and healthy. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:80] Enjoy! ...

This is a Greek style soup and last time I had this was a couple months ago when I had lunch with my mother at a Greek restaurant and absolutely loved it.  It's such a nice and light soup, and I just love anything with lemon in it.  This is a really simple and flavorful soup, that you can whip up in a few minutes. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:69] Enjoy! ...

Today I'm going to share with you my husband's favorite beef soup recipe.  This is a very Romanian soup and very traditional.  It's very easy to make, just time consuming because you need to boil the beef for 2 or 3 hours until tender. You could speed up the process by boiling the beef in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes, just make sure you save all the beef broth and add that to your soup. [amd-zlrecipe-re ...

I've never tried beer cheddar soup before until I saw it on the food network channel and I was intrigued and thought I would try it.  How bad could it be, it has beer and cheddar.  It has to be good.  So I decided to make it and let me tell you, I loved it.  It is delicious.  Here are the ingredients you'll need: [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:66] Enjoy! ...
