Looking for a quick and easy soup recipe? Fiesta Chowder is a full of flavor soup that can be made start to finish in just 30 minutes. My first experience with this quick and easy soup recipe was at a baby shower given by my cousin back in 2003. Everyone at the shower loved this…
In the winter I love to use my crock-pot for evening meals. I’ve made crock-pot beef stew weekly since the first of the year. We love this and it’s not at all difficult to make. I’m lucky to have a source for local farm-raised beef. My friend at school farms and I buy a quarter…
I first made Chicken Corn Chowder in December of 2002 and have been making it regularly ever since. We love soup any time of the year and it’s particularly nice on a cold and snowy evening. It recently snowed in my area of Virginia and I made this soup for us to enjoy after a…

Last weekend’s “Thanksgiving Style Supper Club” dinner left me with a meaty carcass, perfect for soup to enjoy this week. Have you ever made soup…
Sunday evening I made a delicious pot of beef stew using a chuck roast from the 75 pounds of beef that I purchased last week. With the cold days and nights that we’ve had lately, beef stew was the perfect hearty meal. This recipe starts on top of the stove and finishes in the oven. …
Two soup recipes in a week – how about that? We love soup in this house and neither of us would mind eating it every night all winter. I really love clam chowder but I don’t love the fat and calorie content in a normal recipe. I came up with a healthy version that still…
