Homemade Chicken Soup

by

If you were to ask me what recipe I think everyone should have in their recipe box, it would have to be homemade chicken soup. It’s really kind of magical and the perfect comfort food. It makes people happy, brings them back to health and it’s the one pot of goodness I consider to be a gift from my kitchen when I drive it over to friends or family members. I’ve been making homemade chicken soup for decades, but recently I changed it up a bit; added some new techniques and ingredients that make it better than ever. What makes it so good? Well, I don’t just throw chicken and veggies in a pot anymore. I take the time to sauté the onions with the chicken first until the onions are a golden brown. I had no idea it would make such a difference. I’ve also added a few veggies that you don’t generally think about for chicken soup like a parsnip, rutabaga and leeks. Studies show that chicken soup is a great comforter for colds and flu. I love it because I know it will make you happy!

Lasagne Soup

by

Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite dish! If you love lasagna, you’re going to absolutely be giddy over making this simple soup that tastes exactly like lasagne! I can’t stop making it for friends and family, and I sort of get a kick out of watching them come back for seconds….and thirds…and then holding their tummy because they’ve eaten too much! Be prepared for the same reaction! This Lasagne Soup is just scrumptious! I often hear that folks love lasagne but only order it in restaurants because it’s rather tedious to assemble. With Lasagne Soup, it’s a One Pot Wonder of deliciousness without the stress. In fact, you don’t even cook the lasagne noodles ahead of time. You simply throw the raw noodles into the soup! It’s just as delicious whether you use turkey, beef, Italian pork sausage or a combination of all three! One of the things that really makes it taste like lasagna is the ricotta mixture that you dollop on top of the soup when you plate it! If you like Italian cuisine, if you like easy, if you like to please people with a hearty dish that they will adore, then I hope you make Lasagne Soup soon!
