Recipe: Roasted Tomato Soup

This is your very super basic tomato soup. It’s earthy and comforting and warm. I’m always skeptical of vegan dishes but despite not having any dairy (yes, no butter or cream!) the texture of the soup is creamy and thick. I accidentally had a bit of a heavy hand on the red pepper flakes but when enjoyed with a crusty piece of bread the extra spice was just right.

Recipe: Miso Udon Soup

This is the perfect after work food. It’s fast, one pot, cheap with little prep and practically no mess. Using fresh udon (found in the refrigerator section in most international supermarkets) it becomes a completely no fuss meal but you can substitute fresh noodles for dried one in a pinch though carefully follow directions on the dry noodles before adding them to the soup. You can add just about any vegetable to this and any mix of miso you like. I prefer red for a hearty soup with a bold flavor though shiro miso make a milder soup that many enjoy.

Recipe: Minestrone Soup

Minestrone is glorified vegetable soup. It’s usually made with whatever is in season and often contains pasta or rice and always has beans in it. I’m not a really big of this soup in restaurants as it’s usually served very thin with a ton of pasta and not much in the way of vegetables and also usually has a beef base which I don’t like. I made mine with vegetable stock but feel free to make yours with chicken or beef if you have that instead. This recipe makes about 8 servings but could be easily scaled down.

Recipe: Cheesy Broccoli Soup

A super simple way to make broccoli disappear in a matter of minutes. Creamy, rich, not all that good for you but delicious. I actually would use much less cheese and then taste and add as much as you need because I dumped it all in the first time and it was actually too cheesy I ended up putting in some stock to thin out the flavor.

Recipe: Lasagna Soup

This is my first new recipe since January which is nice and embarrassing on my part but at least I got off the ground right? This soup is an interesting twist on an old favorite. It’s hearty and warm. Pictures are thanks to my new phone which is also a camera making it easier to share images quickly!
