There are myriad ways of making garlic soup. You can use as much garlic as you like, you can fry or roast the garlic before you set about the soup or you can simply chop a wagonload of garlic and dump it straight into the pot. You've also got the option of any vegetable you fancy to go alongside...
Given my allergy to dairy proteins (not an intolerance to lactose), I have to be rather creative with my alternatives sometimes and this is one of them. I was fancying cream of tomato soup. Normally I would use creamed cashew nuts to make such a soup but there's an ingredient challenge on at...

Ever since I first saw purple cauliflower on a cooking competition show, I've wanted to make a soup from them. Unfortunately, I have yet to find any. I have used orange cauliflower, but that color eluded me. Likewise, no purple potatoes, though I have found purple carrots. Then, my What's Your...

Similar to my other cauliflower soups, but with ras el hanout as the main seasoning (this is the "Moroccan" in the recipe...I don't know if this is actually eaten in Morocco), and topped with sauteed mushrooms. I used baby bellas, but any mushroom should work.
Also, note that I use a pressure...
This soup is all about the mushrooms...the portabella flavor really comes through here. NOTE: the "baby bellas" are small portabella mushrooms that are about the size of white mushrooms. I mostly use these because I wanted to have slices of mushrooms as well as mushrooms in the liquid.
By the...
I used to call this a light Thai coconut soup because I make it with light coconut milk. I really can't tell the difference. But, putting light first in the name detracts from that fact, so I'm leaving it out. One of the foundations of this recipe is the creation of the stock. If you're pressed...
I made this using a New York Times Cooking recipe as a basis, but assembled it with expiring food from my refrigerator. I had boiled the corn 3 days earlier; the potatoes were starting to form sprouts because they'd been on the shelf a bit too long. I would have used half-and-half, but that had...

I read somewhere that it's a good idea to make things without a recipe at times. While I like to pride myself on mostly making only things I invent, I typically document what I'm doing when I'm making it, in case I want to do it again. But, I've recently decided to make at least one meal a week...
