Creamy Tomato Orzo Soup made with Greek Yogurt is rich and hearty, yet light thanks to the yogurt. It is so delicious and comforting – a perfect winter soup!

Soup season is officially here again! I love to eat soup all year round, but I definitely take a break from making it in the warmer months. Who wants to stand over a hot stove for an hour when it is 80 degrees outside? But now that fall is here and the temperatures are dropping, it is time to get back on the soup making bandwagon! First up this season for me is Creamy Tomato Orzo soup made with Greek Yogurt! It is so rich and creamy, but you don’t have to feel guilty eating it because the creaminess comes from yogurt, not cream! …

Broccoli Cheese Soup

We had a quick taste of spring (actually felt like summer!) earlier this week here in NYC. But today, it is back to chilly temperatures and rainy weather. However I don’t mind, I think I am one of the few people who prefers winter to summer. Winter just feels so cozy to me. And I get to eat soup all the time. So here is another soup recipe for you! Broccoli cheese soup – it looks and tastes so creamy, but there’s actually no cream in the recipe. I’m not sure how America’s Test Kitchen does it, but they come up with the best recipes time after time. This soup has amazing broccoli flavor and it is complimented by the rich cheddar and nutty parmesan. The addition of spinach gives the soup a gorgeous green color, and it is never a bad thing to sneak a super-food in any recipe. Try this recipe before it gets too hot to eat soup! …

Remember when Easter meant that the weather was starting to get warm? Maybe I am having selective memory, but I recall many Easter Sundays spent outside having Easter egg hunts and enjoying the nice spring weather. Every year I had a special outfit for Easter, usually some kind of floral dress, likely with a huge collar. And I don’t recall tights being a part of the outfit. Not so much this year. The calendar says spring and Easter, but the weather says otherwise, at least here in NYC!

But the one silver lining to the cold weather is the fact that I am still craving soup pretty much all the time. I professed my love for soup here and I’m back today with what I think is my favorite soup recipe that I have made all winter! That’s because bacon and parmesan cheese are involved. The soup is full of healthy veggies, white beans, and a surprising ingredient (v8!) but the real depth of flavor comes from the bacon and the cheese rind….

Italian Vegetable Stew (Ciambotta)

They say man cannot live on bread alone. I am not convinced. I think I could live on bread alone. There are so many types! You can put fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, etc into bread – totally a balanced meal. But if I make something other than bread (or anything else baked), then it’s usually soup. I love making soup! And is it a coincidence that it goes so well with bread? Perhaps……
