Chicken & Stars Soup

Chicken & Stars Soup

Who else has the best memories of this soup? I’m guessing most of you had the Campbell’s version like I did when I was little. Too replicate this childhood favorite, I used Stelline Pasta and chopped the fresh onion, carrots & celery really small. I did the same with the chicken breasts. This nostalgic soup was a big hit with the fam!

Super Food Taco Soup

This reimagined taco soup is packed full of fresh veg, legumes all-natural beef. Just a little extra effort makes this healthier version of a classic an awesome addition to your easy soup collection. The traditional version uses canned goods. Not this one!! Fresh chopped tomatoes and corn straight off the cob are simple and yummy changes. It’s still ready in 20 minutes & so delicious!

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy

This is the best roast turkey recipe you will ever make! The gravy is next level. This has been my go-to recipe for over 25 years. It is indescribably delicious and to top it off it’s fool proof.

You can make this recipe with a whole turkey or turkey breast on the bone.  I have brined them and not brined them – Did not notice a difference. They always come out juicy & tender. I generally prepare the turkey & the pan (without spray) the night before. That way I can get the turkey going without that much hassle on Thanksgiving day. We also enjoy this turkey on other occasions. It’s just that good!

Roasted Turkey Gravy
This gravy is made with brandy, white wine and the juices from the roast turkey.

Who doesn’t love a soup with a creamy texture and incredible flavor? This soup is from one of my fav cookbooks, Southwest Tastes. It’s no longer in print, but it was one of my earliest inspirations for being a more creative cook. My mom gave me the cookbook, so it holds very special memories. I’ve made a few adjustments to the recipe & I think you will love it! This soup has a few steps, but it’s well worth it!
