Soups, Stews & Chilis
From great broth comes something special in the form of soups, stews, and chili. Pair with a side salad or let one of our entree salads be the star of the show.

New England Clam Chowder
As kids growing up, when we went out to a restaurant, what we ordered was routine (thank goodness I outgrew that phase). Even though Mom had it memorized and could have easily ordered for us, from as early as I can remember she insisted we order our own meal (and take our elbows off the table). The server would take our drink order first, mine was always Ginger Ale. Then they’d come back and take our meal order, mine was always a Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a cup of Clam Chowder. Always. When you grow up in New England, it’s not a matter of whether Clam Chowder is the ‘soup of the day’….it will always be on the menu.

Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup {Weight Watchers}
One of my favorite soups is Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup. Just the sound of it warms me and on a blustery day like today a nice big bowl full is in order. This lightened up version is naturally very low in fat and high in fiber, making it a perfect go-to Weight Watcher recipe.

Wonton Soup {with Shrimp & Kale}
I’ve been warming up my Chinese cooking skills (skills is a strong word, I broke out some recipes) this week and decided to try my hand at Wonton Soup.

Buffalo Wing Chicken Soup {with Orzo}
It’s soup weather in our neck of the woods AND the NFL Playoffs are under way. So when pondering What’s for Dinner, I came up with the combination of Buffalo Wings & Chicken Soup. Do you ever envision a recipe and think to yourself brilliant!, this is the most brilliant creation anyone has ever imagined. I will make it and they will name it after me. But just to be safe, let’s do a quick google search just to be sure someone else hadn’t already thought of it. For a fleeting moment this Buffalo Wing Chicken Soup was my chance for fame. Sadly, it’s not my time….let’s just say it’s been done…

Egg Drop Soup {Simple and Satisfying}
I’ve mentioned before how much I adore my hair stylist. And I think you also know by now that I LOVE to talk about food. So when I have my time in the salon chair with a captive audience…we talk about food. I’m so happy that she has become a Lemony Thyme follower. Through conversation, I’ve always known she was a ‘good eater’ (something my mom labeled you as, IF you were willing to try different cuisines, and of course clean your plate). Having said that, she’s young and still honing her own cooking skills. She shared that she loved the egg recipes I had been posting, but no matter how…

Ham Bone Soup {Warm & Tasty}
This wonderful soup, that we’ve been eating for the past two days, could be made with almost any ingredients….so long as there’s a Ham Bone in the soup pot. And no matter how skilled you are at carving a ham, there is always extra meat still on the bone.

Roasted Tomato Soup {with White Cheddar Cheese Cookies}
Yesterday we, like many other bloggers, observed a moment of silence from what we love to do…..which is talk about food (or crafts, or sewing, or our other various passions). After a weekend of media overload about an unimaginable tragedy, a little less was much more. So while we stepped away from our computers to quietly talk about the how could’s and the why’s, we made a simple comfort food dinner. Roasted Tomato Soup with White Cheddar Cheese Cookies.

Thai Red Curry Carrot Soup
Here we go again with Red Curry Paste. I simply love how it’s flavor influences dishes. It’s not spicy hot, just full of wonderful fragrant ingredients. Today I was consumed by a craving for Thai Red Curry Carrot Soup. It began early this morning and by the time noon rolled around my mind was made up. Home I went and within 30 minutes we were enjoying this heavenly soup….it is that easy to make and oh so good.

Corn & Potato Chowder with Bacon {Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week}
Day #6 of Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week….and we’re still cooking strong. As you can imagine creating new dishes or testing recipes every night leads to an abundance of open ingredients that begin to take over the Fridge/Freezer and Pantry. As we stared into our refrigerator full of Thanksgiving leftovers it was clear….enough is enough. And we declared this week to be Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week.

Split Pea Soup with Ham {just like Mom’s}
I can’t recall many Saturday Adventures with Mom that didn’t involve a quick stop at the Honey Baked Ham store…so I could run in to check for ham bones. Mom waited in the car, anxiously watching for me to give the thumbs up. You see, years ago when we first began this ritual, they actually gave them away for free. When Mom was on a mission to make Split Pea Soup it wasn’t unheard of for us to hit 2-3 locations before finding the prize. Imagine being able to make a gallon of Split Pea Soup with Ham for the price of two bags of split peas (less than $3.00).
