Spring-is-Here Asparagus Egg Drop Soup

by KimiHarris on April 28, 2009

Bright red peppers, soft spinach, and delicious, in season asparagus float in a rich chicken broth, doted with “egg drops”. This soup was inspired by some beautiful local asparagus I found at the produce market. I feel this soup speaks “Spring” with every bite. So simple, yet so satisfying!

Nourishing Nettle Soup

by KimiHarris on April 8, 2009

Once you have harvested wild nettles, you have to do something with them! I decided to make the classic nettle soup. A simple soup made from potatoes, broth, onion and garlic, and, of course, nettles combine into a creamy soup with a subtle nettle overtone.

Garlicky White Bean Soup with Dark Greens

by KimiHarris on March 9, 2009

A simple bowl of white bean soup graces my table. It has a garlicky broth with little specks of oregano floating among the beans, and a beautiful reddish tint from tomato paste. Finally, in contrast to the beans, I find gently simmered dark greens. It’s simple, but flavorful and  delicious.

Sausage, Potato, and Squash Soup

by KimiHarris on February 25, 2009

It was time to start thinking about dinner. I didn’t have any definite plans, but I had plenty of chicken stock, vegetables and a pound of delicious turkey sausage in the fridge. With very little time and effort they became a hearty, frugal soup. A definite winner in this household!
