A very tasty Asian style corn soup that has delighted many. Left over chicken or turkey may be used in the soup instead of fresh chicken.

Velvety smooth soothing soup with zip! Serve hot with dollop of sour cream and garnish of chopped chives.
Simple Sweet Potato Soup
This delicious soup has only 6 ingredients. It was given to me by my boyfriend’s mom who adapted it from another recipe. It can be as thick or thin as you like, and I like it quite thick. To dress it up when serving, drizzle some cream on top and float a lime twist or slice of lime on top. Delicious hot or cold.
Fresh Vegetable Soup
Fresh vegetable soup that is said to burn off calories by just eating it. It’s one of my favorite veggie soups.
Vegan Taco Chili
A chili using no meat, eggs or dairy products. Tastes great in a bread bowl and is easy to make! This soup should never be made the same way twice! Add red, green or yellow bell peppers in the first step, experiment with the beans, or add whatever your heart desires. For a non-veggie dish, add 1 lb ground beef and some sour cream.

Chickpea Soup II
This recipe is very fast and easy to make. It is especially nice to have on cold winter days and never lasts long in my house! It is so versatile you can add almost anything to it, such as pasta twists, chopped escarole, chopped spinach, broccoli, carrots, etc.
Comforting Chicken Noodle Soup
A combination of several recipes I’ve made over the years to make this warm, comforting soup. Great for warm days, sick days, or just any day. I sometimes serve this with mashed potatoes as well! The more flour on the pasta from rolling it out, the thicker your soup will be.
Layered Patchwork Soup Mix
A lovely gift of ready to be made soup mix in a jar. This has become a very popular gift idea.
Hearty Barley Turkey Soup
Just the best turkey soup ever. If you brined your turkey, you will need to add less salt to the soup.
Paleo Chicken Stew
I made this recipe up when I started eating paleo. I have now found it to be a staple in our home!
Condensed Soup Mix
It is great to make your own condensed soup mix since it makes your soups taste better. It also contains 1/3 less calories and sodium than store bought condensed soup. You can make this any flavor you desire. Just add a different flavor of bouillon granules.
Beef Caldo with Spinach
This is a highly nutritious and wonderful Mexican soup, called a ‘caldo.’ It is too dense to be a soup, and is almost a stew, except the liquid hasn’t been thickened. The flavors are deep and rich. I almost never use ‘cubed beef’ any more, unless it’s truly necessary as I think these thin slices are far better. Try this caldo, and you’ll see why!
Carrot and Coriander Soup II
I learned to make this soup after living in the United Kingdom for 10 years. This soup is incredibly simple to make with just a few ingredients. Coriander is the British word for cilantro, which gives this soup a smooth flavor.
Beef and Barley Soup II
It is amazing that only a few ingredients can turn into something so wonderful as this. Remember, as it sits, it will thicken.
Favorite Lentil Soup
Lentil soup is a favorite in the Middle East. It is often the first dish used to break the day of fasting during Ramadan. My husband loves it anytime of year, especially on cold days. Serve with grissini, or garlic croutons. Can be reheated, but may need to be thinned with heavy cream or water. Garnish with fresh parsley.
