Immune-Boosting Soup Recipe + an Instant Pot Version

I have been able to avoid conflict and controversy all these years on my blog and on social media, until I posted an image of this soup on Instagram a little over a year ago. If you read my recent post on how to get well quickly, you know that I favor homemade broths, ginger, garlic and ...

Lemony Chickpea Soup Recipe

It's soup season! I made my first pot tonight and even though I'm a warm weather gal, I am also crazy for soups. I'll make two soups a week minimum. They're easy, healthful, and so many rely on pantry staples, like this Lemony Chickpea Soup I developed for Clean Eating Magazine a few years ago. ...

Split Pea and Barley Soup Recipe

St. Patrick's Day is approaching and I am here to tell you that you do not need to make corned beef and cabbage to be in the spirit. Make anything green -- spinach risotto, kale salad, a mint chip smoothie -- and you're good in my book. I actually discovered recently that split pea soup can have ...

Moroccan Vegetable Soup Recipe

I can't think of anything more comforting than a bowl of soup. Warm, filling, and nourishing, homemade soup feels like a big hug. My husband and my kids (especially Mr. Picky) all love soup and I love making it because it's easy, flexible and soup makes great leftovers. ...

Stracciatella (Italian Egg Drop Soup) Recipe

Soup is good food. I always teach a soup in my winter classes and it's on my family's dinner planner every week. The body craves warm foods when the weather is cold and soup is also very digestible. Plus my family loves soup! ...

Cranberry Bean (aka Borlotti Bean) Soup Recipe

Let me get right to it -- this soup is made with "Cranberry Beans," not cranberries and beans. This came up a lot when I taught this soup last fall in my cooking classes. The lovely and tasty cranberry bean is also known as a "Borlotti bean," and might be my favorite bean ever, which says a lot ...

Corn and Vegetable Chowder Recipe

I am headed to Long Island this week and my first stop (after I say hello to my parents) is the nearest farm stand. My father's vegetable garden is wonderful and bursting with all sorts of goodies, but there's no corn to be found. And I can't be on Long Island in the summer without corn. I think ...

How to Make Bone Broth

My readers and my students are very in the know when it comes to food trends, especially the healthy ones. So I’m sure you have all heard about bone broth and how it's taking over the world. It's the newest thing! It's revolutionary! So funny. Bone broth is no trend, but in fact something that ...

French Onion Soup Recipe

If it wasn't winter before this week, it sure is now. Not in Southern California, of course. But for the rest of the country. Although people in LA dress like it's zero degrees when it's 55. It's totally funny. I cracked up when I saw this post on Pinterest last week: So I figured that ...

Bieler’s Broth: a Healing, Restorative Soup Recipe

It’s good to be home. I had the loveliest holiday break, but it’s good to be home. Even though I knew I was coming back to two weeks worth of mail to sift through, groceries to buy, meals to plan, piles of laundry to wash, it’s all good. As I’ve mentioned several times, I am not much on detox ...
