Just right for a hot summer day. Make this the night before, sitting in the fridge to let all of the flavor meld really does it right.

Often we are used to using oil based sauces for dipping bread - this however, is a completely different beast. Flavorful and intense, yet clean feeling, light, and refreshing. Delicious served with a loaf of crunchy bread or cheesy toasts.

Looking for a clean soup that won’t leave you feeling heavy and tired? Look no further. On days when I am not feeling my best, this is one of my go-to bowls of yummy goodness.

A wonderful light broth that comes together in just over an hour. Even sets you up for success by leaving you with a bunch of pre-cooked chicken for later in the week.

Light and yet hardy, this soup comes together in a pinch and is simple yet satisfying.

I love this soup in the fall. Hearty, yet not heavy. Comes together with very little effort. If you happen upon some delicious mushrooms, sometimes I serve this soup with a garnish of crispy mushrooms on top. I think it’s a fantastic pairing.

In the heat of summer, I find myself reluctant to even turn the stove on. This is my go-to summer soup. Served cold, it is so very refreshing. And to me, it is the perfect celebration of the summer goodies like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

One of the staple ingredients in my kitchen. I actually found myself out the other day, and with a mean immediate craving for risotto, so I went to the store and bought the best looking brand I could find. It was terrible. This is one thing that is just worth making yourself. I usually make a batch a week and freeze any leftovers in well-labeled quart containers. Read my note at the bottom about the chicken feet… it really makes a difference…

A 6-hour drive with no air conditioning across the Mohave desert in over 100-degree heat brought us to our new front door. We didn’t even unpack a thing. We were sweaty, dusty, windblown, and exhausted. I grabbed our camping stove, the camping kitchen set, and the soup.

We set up on the back stoop, overlooking our beautiful green backyard as the sun set, and ate this soup. It will remain on my favorite soup list forever.
