Thai Curry Coconut Soup

May 10, 2023 Amanda Plott

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner that has a kick of spice in it, look no further. This Thai Curry Coconut Soup is gluten free, meatless, vegetarian, and even vegan if you use a vegetable stock instead of chicken stock. One of the best parts is though that it’s all made in one pot and in less than 30 minutes too. It’s rich and full of flavor while also being completely guilt-free.

I found this soup to be perfectly filling without making me feel overly stuffed and it’s light enough and yet hearty enough to be enjoyed at any time of year, spring, summer, winter or fall. You can change up the veggies in it too. I went with peas because I had some that I needed to use up, but edamame, zucchini, anything really would work here…

Sheet Pan Tomato Soup

When it’s overcast and chilly outside, one of the first things that I start craving is tomato soup! This Sheet Pan Tomato Soup is about as easy as soup can get to make. You literally put everything on a baking sheet, roast it, and then puree it down into a soup. It’s that easy? Yes. Yes, it is exactly that easy. And on top of that this soup is super low calorie, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and tastes amazing.

With tomato soup being this easy to make, who needs the canned stuff? Not me! What’s better is that this soup is made with literally just a handful of ingredients. Just five main ones and then some seasoning. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil, and oil. That’s it!…

Shepherd's Pie Soup

While it may not yet be time for shepherd’s pie, it is soup season. I had seen this really cool idea for a soup that was based on shepherd’s pie, so I decided to take that and make a more healthified version of it. This definitely gives you quite a lot of soup too and it’s filling and hearty to boot. It’s loaded up with all the things you will find in any standard shepherd’s pie, including meat, potatoes - mashed and otherwise, and plenty of other veggies.

This soup is full of flavor and definitely is what it’s set out to be. Shepherd’s pie in soup form! It’s also pretty akin to a baked potato soup as far as the consistency goes, and that’s probably due to half of the potatoes being mashed and the other half being left cubed to give a thickness to the soup and some added texture!…

Crock Pot Japanese Onion Soup

October 1, 2022 Amanda Plott

We all know that soup that they serve at the hibachi style steak houses and how good it is for being something so simple. It’s one of the main things that my kiddo happens to look forward to when we go, so a lot of years back - way back in 2013, I decided to try my hand at making the soup at home and it was a success!

Not only that, but I also made it in the crock pot, which meant that I didn’t have to have almost any hands on time. It’s definitely one of those ‘set it and forget it’ sort of things which makes it perfect for serving up as a part of an asian themed dinner…

Pistou Soup

August 14, 2022 Amanda Plott

I know what you’re thinking… Soup? In the Summer?! Yeah, yeah. Maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part, but sometimes you have to lure the cooler weather in by enticing it with appropriate foods. I don’t know, maybe it’s working. It’s at least coming off the triple digits for a few days here. That being said, this Pistou Soup is very light and definitely is more of a Spring or Summer soup because of that.

It starts off with a base of onion, leek, and celery and is then layered with some potato, green beans, peas and more! Like I said, this is soup that’s packed with vegetables while also being meatless. The soup is topped off with a pistou, which is basically a pesto that’s made with basil, garlic, and some cheese too…
