Swiss Chard Soup

Thyme for Cooking Posted on July 24, 2020 by KatieJuly 26, 2020
Chard soup

I’m not certain where I get my frugal tendencies. It really doesn’t matter – I have them. At least I have them when it comes to my potager. Maybe it’s because I nurse the plants along: watering them, monitoring them, and protecting them (as best I can). Once they start producing edible food I have a very hard time sending it to the compost. That’s true even of the ones … Continue reading →

Butternut Squash Soup with Sherry; pumpkin colors

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 11, 2019 by KatieDecember 11, 2019
Winter Squash Soup

When I was young and first living on my own I decided I wanted to be a proper adult host. I couldn’t afford to stock a bar but I wanted more than a few beers in the fridge. I bought a cut crystal ship’s decanter and glasses. I filled the decanter with dry sherry. I have absolutely no recollection as to why I decided on sherry, but I’m guessing the … Continue reading →

Creamy Acorn Squash Soup; local color

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 24, 2019 by KatieNovember 24, 2019
Creamy Acorn Squash Soup

We love sage leaves and use them often, both as a garnish and as a major flavor component. My mother, on the other hand, barely tolerated the taste…. possibly because all she ever had was an old Durkee’s tin of ‘crumbled sage’ that was resurrected every year at this time to add to the stuffing for the turkey. She was always careful not to add too much. Anything over 1/2 … Continue reading →

Cream of Mushroom Soup; Chefchaouen, the blue city

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 10, 2019 by KatieNovember 10, 2019
Sherried Mushroom Soup

Cream of Mushroom Soup with Sherry. It’s the sherry that is the finishing touch for me. It adds that interesting flavor that makes it just a bit better. The problem, for me, is the sherry. Our good friend, who lived in Spain, died 2 years ago. We miss him…. We miss the long discussions, the long walks with all the dogs, the fun cooking together in his kitchen….. And now … Continue reading →

Chestnut Soup; a story

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 31, 2016 by KatieJuly 23, 2019
Chestnut Soup

Use either fresh or canned chestnuts for this seasonal winter soup.  The chestnuts will cook down and break apart as the soup simmers. If, like me, you bought chestnuts to have with the Brussels sprouts for Christmas, this is a great way to use up the rest. We have guests at the moment and I made this the other night for our first course. Since it’s my own recipe I … Continue reading →

Asparagus, Spinach and Leek Soup; not using stem ends

Thyme for Cooking Posted on May 20, 2016 by KatieMay 20, 2016
Asparagus soup

I may have mentioned that we’ve been eating a bit of asparagus lately. I started feeling ever-so-slightly guilty about tossing away the stem ends of the green asparagus. For those who don’t know, white asparagus is treated differently – it’s peeled and just a tiny bit of the stem end is trimmed. The green is snapped and sometimes there are 2 or even 3 inches not used. Surely there’s something that … Continue reading →

Lemon Chickpea Soup with Bulgur, the lake and a curiosity

Thyme for Cooking Posted on January 11, 2016 by KatieJanuary 11, 2016
Lemon Chickpea Soup with Bulgur

This is an easy pantry soup – my favorite kind. It goes together quickly with ingredients I always have on hand, either in the freezer or the pantry. I think having a well-stocked pantry is a hold-over from living in the middle of nowhere in Minnesota where one could be house-bound for days in the winter. Or maybe from living in the mountains in Andorra, for the same reason. Actually, … Continue reading →
