Bean Me Up!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Lisa’s request for fish-free meatless meal ideas reminded me that I’ve been meaning to share a recipe for black bean soup.
I love beans, or the idea of them anyway - so nutritious! so cheap! - but I’m kinda spacey about remembering to soak them the night before. I’m embarrassed to admit how many bags of dried beans have spent years languishing in my cupboards.
Enter the slow cooker, and this recipe,... READ MORE
Soup for You!

Did you know January is National Soup Month? It is!
In honor of that (but before I knew of Soup Month) we had some delicious chicken noodle soup the other night. Take a look:
What’s your favorite quick and easy soup?
Warm Up With Pumpkin Soup
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Tuesday, October 19, 2010
Over the weekend, I was inspired by the simple recipe for Pumpkin Soup Kristen Laurence shared.
My one word review? Yum. It was perfect with grilled cheese sandwiches and it tastes exactly like a fall soup should. I am patting myself on the back for having discovered such a delicious way to get some calcium, vitamin A, and beta carotene into my kids.
I am a big fan of pumpkin flavors in the fall,... READ MORE
Easy Puree-ing
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Thursday, September 30, 2010
I love pureed soups, and I love squash. Every autumn when the recipes show up online, I long for squash soup. But I have never made it.
In theory, I could. I have a perfectly good blender and you can make the soup then puree it in batches in your blender. With my tendency to spill things, though, I shudder to think of what my kitchen would look like after I tried my hand at pureed soup. So far I haven’t... READ MORE

The heart of winter is a great time to experiment with bone-warming soups and stews for dinner.

Soup for Supper
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Wednesday, October 28, 2009
It all started with this box of soup I bought yesterday for dinner. Longtime readers will know I am the domestically-impaired member of the Faith & Family blogging team - along with being a lazy housekeeper, I’m a mess in the kitchen.
So for last night’s dinner, this box of soup caught my eye. For less than $3, I could heat it up, serve it along with our main dish and a crusty bread, and introduce... READ MORE

A Marvelous Meatless Meal
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, October 16, 2009
I know it’s not Lent right now, but I’d be willing to bet we have some readers whose families practice abstinence from meat on all the Fridays of the year.
Our family doesn’t do that particular discipline, but tonight we had my sister and her family over for dinner, and they do, so we had a meatless meal.
I know I shared recipes yesterday, but this dinner is such a good family-favorite standby that... READ MORE
Summer in a Bowl
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Last week I raved about how much I love corn.
This week I’m going to share a recipe that uses it!
I love soup. It can make such a nice, simple meal. And soup made with corn is the great in the summer because corn is in season. It’s like the taste of summer in a bowl!
This corn chowder is light and has a wonderful concentrated corn flavor. I think it’s great paired with a fruit salad.
Corn Chowder... READ MORE
Buffalo Wing… Soup!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Friday, November 14, 2008
I love buffalo chicken wings. When I’m in the mood for them, just the thought of that spicy orange sauce can make my mouth water.
But while I’ve read that buffalo wings can be easy to make at home, I’ve never had a moment when I was unable to get them at a restaurant and was really craving them so much that it seemed worth it to buy chicken wings and go to the trouble of frying them myself.
However,... READ MORE
