Portuguese Linguiça and Kale Soup
I recently made my Kale and Black Bean soup, and my step-father got very excited – apparently it tasted almost the way his father’s Linguiça and Kale soup had tasted. So, I listened to his suggestions, and ended up with this soup. I recently served this to several relatives at a family party, [...]
Miso Soup, hold the barley
Traditional miso contains barley, a gluten-containing grain. However, there are some companies, such as Great Eastern Sun which make miso from alternate ingredients such as soy, chickpeas, and rice (their misos are also certified organic and kosher). Additionally, as miso soup is usually made using a fish broth, using a vegetable broth in [...]
Summer Gazpacho
Gazpacho is chilled tomato-based soup with lots of veggies and a bit of a spicy kick is just right. For my kids, I explained it was “salsa soup”, which interested them. The adults loved it, and all the kids enjoyed it, too.
On a hot summer day, a cool bowl of gazpacho [...]

Taco Soup
This recipe can be made in the Crock Pot or on the stove, depending on when you decide to make it! It is a favorite in our house, and wonderful served with corn chips and some avacado!

Hearty Lentil and Sea Vegetable Soup
My oldest daughter has been asking for more vegetarian meals. This makes me happy, as we were vegetarian before the celiac and food sensitivities took over. My daughters needed a lot of protein, so we switched our diet. 5 1/2 years later, we are able to reduce some of our dependency on [...]
Kitchen Sink Soup
Kitchen Sink Soup
Have you ever started to make a recipe, only to find out that you are inexplicably out of half of the ingredients? Of course, we make do, but sometimes the “making do” recipes are wretched, and sometimes they taste better than the original. Here’s our “everything but the kitchen sink” soup [...]
Warming Italian Vegetable and Chick Pea Stew
This hearty soup was inspired by a few things – my husband bought about 3 times the amount of ground beef that I normally buy, I had some odd amounts of vegetables around, and I was very chilly and wanted a warm soup with a new flavor. This cooks reasonably quickly and is a [...]
Ginger Butternut Squash Soup
Make this for thanksgiving. In our house, it is not thanksgiving without it.
As a warning, though, I broke my crock pot with this soup (OK, it slid off the hood of my car), and my mom needed stitches from this soup. So be careful!
Ingredients
2 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped in 2 [...]
Caldeirada Portuguese fish stew

Ingredients
1 pound swordfish or tuna (a firm fish)
1 pound whitefish such as flounder or cod
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
