Corn Chowder

September 25, 2016

. . .

There are only so many days left until the corn season will be behind us. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have fresh locally grown corn for as long as possible. Fresh corn on the cob is my simple and easy way to enjoy it. At other times I like to make Corn Chowder. A hot bowl of this soup filled with chucks of sweet corn kernels, creamy potatoes, crunchy bacon bits, and melted cheddar cheese is a delicious combination for a hardy fall soup. If fresh corn is not available, frozen corn can be substituted and can be made anytime of the year.

Gazpacho is an ideal summertime soup to make and enjoy on a hot day. With a little bit of prep time, this classic tomato-base Spanish soup comes together quickly. There are many wonderful variations of the recipe to try. My personal favorite uses fresh vegetables chopped into small pieces combined with other ingredients to bring out the right balance of chunky-crunchy texture and tangy-spicy flavor in every spoonful. This recipe is versatile, feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. A simple and delicious soup to serve as an appetizer, as a part of the main course, or as a healthy snack.

In one of my previous blog posts, Fall Decorations, I shared how to decorate with squash and pumpkins. They are beautiful for displaying and just as delicious to cook with. My two favorite ways to use squash and pumpkins are to roast or make cream soups. Here is one easy recipe to do just that.

Roasted Butternut Squash soup is a rich hearty soup packed full of flavor and perfectly fitting to make at this time of year. Serve as a starter for a holiday dinner gathering or double the recipe to satisfy a large get together with friends and family. The ingredients were roasted to bring out their natural nutty and sweet flavors. It’s a basic and easy soup recipe to make and delicious to eat anytime.

Split Pea Soup with Ham

February 19, 2014

The thought of eating or making Split Pea Soup was never something I wanted to do or try. Seeing a bowl of brown/green mushy peas will change my appetite quickly… Who would want to eat that? When I asked Bill many years ago to give me a list of food he would like to have for his birthday dinner, Split Pea Soup was right there at the top. Really? Wanting to make him happy, I was willing to try and make it. By chance, I came upon a recipe in Cuisine At Home magazine that looked appealing enough for me to try and make. The addition of frozen peas in the soup was different from the other recipes I’ve seen. It turned out delicious and as a result, I served it at Bill’s birthday party and everybody liked it. As for Bill, he ate it all up and asked for a second helping.

This is the one and only Split Pea and Ham Soup recipe I’ve made over the years and now our kids are enjoying it too.
