Canned Tomato Soup
Welcome to canning season in this Baking Beauty’s kitchen. I don’t can much, but when those tomatoes turn red, I’ve got my work cut out for me. Besides making salsa, I also make this canned tomato soup. This recipe comes from my Mother-in-law, I have no idea how long she has made this soup, but when I started dating her son 16 years ago, I know she was making the soup then already. I always found the soup to be too warm though. Like, beads of sweat on your forehead warm. But, that must have been a year for strong … Continue reading

Baked Potato Soup
The evenings are starting to get cooler here already, and we all know that autumn is just around the corner for us. We’re enjoying the hot days that we get now, knowing that in a few short weeks, we will have forgotten all about the heat and humidity that we had this summer. On rainy days, it is usually quite cool already. And on those cool days, when you can open the windows & let the cool air blow through the house, there is just something comforting about being able sit around the table with your family and enjoy a … Continue reading

Creamy Gazpacho
This is another entry for the Real Women of Philadelphia contest. This was submitted during appetizer week. We really, really liked this cold soup, and I will definitely be making it again. Super simple to throw together, not to mention healthy, AND delicious! You can even have some fun serving it, you can serve it in a bowl, or even in small glasses. This bright, refreshing soup is perfect for those hot summer days. It comes together in a matter of minutes, since it uses canned tomatoes, and the PHILADELPHIA cream cheese adds a whole new dimension to the … Continue reading

Creamy Asapargus Soup
I know this soup may not look like much, but it is so delicious. The adults loved it, the kids loved it, what more do you need to make a great soup? This soup did have the asparagus tips in there, but you know what? They sink. So, although they were there, they just didn’t want to be photographed. With spring being the time for asparagus, I hope you will give this soup a try, I think you’ll really enjoy it.

Russian Mushroom and Potato Soup
This continues with my confession that I gave last time. I still have a problem with mushroom texture. Yep, I’m not a fan of it. Kinda rubbery. I ate this soup, and enjoyed it too, but I let my kids pick the mushrooms out. First off, the mushrooms that I used were an “Exotic Medley” of Shitake, Oyster, Portabella & Button. There is a mushroom grower nearby, Loveday Mushroom Farms. So, finding nice fresh mushrooms here isn’t a problem. I nearly forgot to add, I am adding this recipe to my friend Colleen’s Weekly Recipe Swap! Be sure … Continue reading

Slow-Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
Well, spring is arriving here. Our snow (on our yard) is nearly all melted. Woohoo! Today is actually a dreary, cloudy, rainy day. The perfect day to use your slow cooker! Dig it out, you won’t be disappointed with this soup.

Broccoli Soup
I was hungry for a broccoli soup the other day, so my little boy & I went off to the grocery store to find some “trees” for our supper. I have never really had a problem getting either of my kids to eat broccoli, so I knew this was going to be a meal that all of us would enjoy. The recipe that I used doesn’t have any heavy creams added to it, so it really is a healthy soup. I used 1% milk and low sodium chicken broth in this recipe, and it tasted fantastic.

Mexican Chicken Corn Chowder
This soup is so easy to make, but has such a great flavour. We all really liked this soup, right down to the 3 year old. My husband even asked that this recipe be put into regular rotation. It’s a nice change from the Veggie Chowder that I usually make.

Fresh Tomato Soup
We’ve now pulled the tomato plants in the garden. Frost set in last night, and we didn’t want to bother with covering them to prevent them from freezing. But, we did get our fair share of tomatoes from them before pulling them. This recipe is one of the examples of what we’ve done with them. There are more recipes that I hope to post in the following weeks though. This recipe is a bit of work, but tastes so good compared to the canned soups bought in the store. Submitted by my Mom (gotta love that she loves being in … Continue reading

Back to School & Soup!
Well, today was the day! Back to school. My son & I walked my big girl to school for her first day as a 1st Grader. She was excited to go to school, I wasn’t as thrilled. I’ll miss having her at home, and I know that from now on, she will be in school every day, full days (unlike last year where we had half days, and every-other day). So, now it’s just me and a nearly three year old at home every day, all day. I think it’ll be fun in it’s own way, just different. And the … Continue reading
