Who would have thought that there was so much to learn about soup? I feel like I barely scratched the surface this week. Yet, next week’s bread theme is quickly approaching. So I decided to post today about thickening soups. In the winter, a thicker soup is nice and hardy. Be sure to check back tomorrow to link up your favorite soup recipes and to check out others!

Bone Broth: Not as hard to make or as weird as it sounds

Hang around real foodies or people who know a lot about nutrition, and soon you’ll hear talk of something called “bone broth.” Sounds weird and kind of time consuming, yes? Luckily it’s neither. Soon you’ll be using your own homemade stock and bone broth as the base for your own nourishing soups. Pin It

Polish Wild Mushroom and Potato Soup

We are gradually getting over our colds here at the Hammond household, but soup is still the food of choice. Since I had potatoes from last week’s CSA pickup I went looking for a soup that incorporated them. It was a bonus that this recipe happened to incorporate another of my favorite foods–mushrooms!

Turnip and Turnip Greens Soup

I love when my CSA basket tells me what to have for dinner. As I was driving home from pick up in the rain, I thought of all the soups I could make. Potato soup sounded good, but I didn’t have any potatoes. I wondered if I had any recipes for turnip soup in my cookbook collection? Luckily I found one in the first book I picked up.

Fennel Leek Soup

Last week since I was out of state I gave my CSA share for the week to someone else. So, I had the unique experience of going to the farmer’s market and buying whatever I wanted. Ha! I knew I would make this soup, since I usually only get one fennel bulb at a time at the CSA and this requires three.

Southwestern Corn Chowder

It feels great to be back in the kitchen! After a hiatus from Simply in Season, I’m motivated to tackle the remaining 54 recipes. This one is super fast, cheap, and tasty! Best of all, it features some of summer’s best vegetables.

Sauerkraut and Sausage Soup

I had my doubts about this recipe. Sauerkraut? In soup? But I had all the ingredients, and Mark Bittman hasn’t steered me wrong yet. So I gave it a try.
